UNTAMED

D's 💜

It has been two months since I came home, and I still consider this as the best decision I ever made. The breather that I am hoping to have was given, and slowly, I am regaining my focus again. 

Maybe because I am also accepting the fact that what we and G had was just plain One Night Stand. Nakwento ko na din siya sa mga kapatid ko, minus the intimate part, and same with Ate Madz and Ate Kat, they told me to move forward kasi kung may chance daw na magkita pa kami, then si Lord ang gagawa ng paraan.

With regards my volleyball career naman, marami akong natatanggap na offers from different teams and leagues. So far, I am eyeing one specific team. They are composed of athletes kasi from our rival team nung college and parang I am curious of what's gonna happen, and what it's like playing with them.

"Kumusta Sachi? Have you decided which team to join na?"

Narinig kong tanong ni Mom. Nandito kasi ako ngayon sa garden niya habang nagmumuni-muni.

"I am eyeing one team mom. The one's composed of La Salle players. They also sent an invitation for me to join their team"

"Oh that's good to hear. So when do you plan to go back sa manila?"

"I'm planning to go back next month Mom."

"I see. How about your condo? Diba it's under renovation? Saan ka mags-stay doon?"

"Bahala na Mom. Baka magstay muna ako kay Ate Madz, or kukuha ako ng apartment. I don't know yet"

"So, we only have 1 month left to bond ha?" Medyo lumungkot naman yung tono ng boses niya.

"No Mom. We have forever to bond. I promise you that every now and then, I'll make way to visit you guys dito sa Cebu. You can also go to Manila anytime"

"Pupunta kami sa Manila pag may ipapakilala ka na" Sabi niya ng may tonong pang-asar.

"Soon Mom. In God's perfect time. But for now, pwede bang mag-request ng Carbonara from you? Please?" I said habang nagpapa-cute sakanya.

"Alright, alright. But I guess I'll be needing my Not-so-Little Assistant Chef with me para magluto" Nakangiting sabi niya sakin. Ako kasi ang kanag-kamay niya nung maliit pa ako tuwing magluluto siya, hindi dahil guato ko ring matutong magluto, kundi para ako agad yung makatikim ng luto niya.

"Coming right up our Super Chef" nakangiting sabi ko sabay tayo at akbay kay mommy papuntang kitchen. The little things I do with my family are the things I miss tuwing nasa manila ako.

A month later...

"Don't forget yung mga bilin namin Sachi. Please inform us if you are already in Manila. Saka kung saan ka nag-stay" Bilin sakin ni Dad habang hinahatid nila ako sa Departure Area ng airport.

"Yes Dad. Nakapag-book na ako ng apartment. Doon muna ako tutuloy habang under renovation yung unit ko" Hindi kasi ako pwede sa place ni Ate Madz because she went home to Davao ngayon. Pumayag naman siya na ako na muna magbantay sa unit niya but I refused. Gusto ko, kung doon ako titira, nandun siya.

"Okay ba yung area nun? Check the surroundings first before you settle ha"

"Yes dad. I know, I know. You'll miss me" asar ko sakanya. Alam ko kasing itong mga bilin niya ang way niya para sabihin sakin na mamimiss niya ako.
