Balancing The Trials Of Hearts

"What the hell," agad na reklamo ko at umupo sa may floor. I massaged my temples while staring at my luggage na hindi ko masarado kanina pa. "How the hell would this fit?" inis na ask ko sa sarili ko.

"Talise?" Mommy called me and opened the door. "Are you ready?" Mommy asked me nang pumasok siya sa room ko and stared at my luggage. "You want Mommy to help you?" she asked me and smiled.

"Please," sabi ko naman. She chuckled and sat beside me to help me zip my luggage. Malapit na kasi ang wedding nina Kuya Cyon at Cash. We need to fly papunta sa Bahamas kasi sa cruise ship gaganapin ang wedding nila.

"Sit on top of it, sweetie," Mommy said naman kaya umupo ako sa taas ng maleta ko and she zip it up naman agad. "Done," she said and chuckle.

"Thank you, Mom," I said naman and smiled. She nodded and stood up na. "Are you done packing?"

She smiled and gave me a small nod. "I just finished," she said and sat on my bed. "Your Kuya will fetch us tomorrow. I told him to come here early so that he can eat here with us," she said pa.

I stood up and took my luggage sa gilid ng door ko para ready na ako umalis tomorrow. I looked at Mom and she was just looking around my room.

"I still can't imagine Cyon getting married," Mommy said bigla before she turned to me. "He was so tiny when your Tita Sea gave birth to him and now he'll be a head of a family," she said na parang she's so proud.

"Gladly, Tito Cean accepted it already," I said and sat beside her.

"You know Kuya Cean," Mommy said naman and laughed. "He can't stand having a fight between his only son," sabi pa ni Mommy kaya tumango ako. "He's a parent and I know him, he wants to act hard and strict but actually he's a soft person like Cyon."

"He even let Kuya Cyon use their cruise pa for their wedding," I said pa and smiled. "The biggest cruise ship pa," I added and shook my head.

"Cyon is their only son, Talise. Your Tito Cean and Tita Sea just wanted to give their only child what's best because that's what parents do," she said pa before she make hawi to my hair. "Kaya ikaw if you're going to get married I will support you all throughout, remember that okay?" she said and pinched my cheeks.

"Thank you, Mommy," I said naman.

"Do you know who the girl that Cyon will marry? Is she kind? Maybe she's just using Cyon for money," Mommy said kaya I shook my head agad.

"Mommy, Kuya Cyon's girl is my friend," I said naman and crossed my arms. "She is really kind but she's childish and very noisy," I said and shrugged my shoulders. "But, overall, she's a good person."

"That's good to hear," she said naman and nodded. "I just want your Kuya Cyon to be in good hands because he's a very kind person," she added pa. "Talise, what do you think about your Kuya Lake? When do you think he'll get married?"
