Love Just Ain't Enough (on going) Action Series #1

Chapter 20

I texted mamà na nasa byahe na ako pauwi. Kasi hindi talaga ako ma-pakali ngayon hanggat hindi ko na kikita ang kalagayan ng pamilya ko.

Mabuti nalang at nag commute ako kasi hindi rin ako ma-kakapag focus sa pag drive dahil occupied ang utak ko. Besides, it's also a good thing dahil ma iiwan ko lang din naman ang kotse ko sa mall dahil hindi ako puwede mag drive ng malayo.

almost 2 hours ang byahe ko pa balik sa city, pag karating ko sa bahay ay agad akong sinalubong ng mamá. She was in the living room, mukhang inaantay niya talaga ako dumating.

"Mamá! " i called her out at nag lakad pa lapit sa kaniya. i kissed her cheeks and hugged her tight.

I just missed her so much.

It's been a weeks since the last time we saw each other, hindi kasi ako ma dalas umuwi lately because of work. Nag kakausap kami thru phone pero hindi kami nag kikita.

At hindi ako kinakabahan ng ganito!

"Honey! I missed you so much" she hugged me also. "Go in the library, your brother also there" i nodded at her

"You sure má, you ok?" I asked her again. I want an assurance to lessen my nervousness. Gusto ko malaman na ok lang talaga siya.

"I am fine honey, don't worry about me" she touched my cheeks as an assurance. Binigyan ko ulit siya nag mahigpit na yakap bago umakyat at dumeretso sa kuwarto ko para makapag palit ng damit.

"Hey what's up brother....lilly?" Bati ko kay brother lilly nang ma kapasok ako sa lib. I saw him busy mag cellphone habang na kasalampak sa couch at kumakanta pa.

"Sisteeeeer, it's been a long time since we saw each other ha! Ang busy natin both" we chuckled. Yeah, that's true, kahit siya ay hindi ko rin na kikita dahil busy din siya sa work niya.

He's been traveling these past few weeks, para daw sa magazine na project nila.

Sana all na kakapag travel!

"Oo nga, hay!! lately lagi akong stress" pag kukuwento ko. gumaya ako sa pag kakasalampak niya sa couch, good thing malapad 'to kaya hindi kami nag sisiksikan na dalawa.

"Well, adulting stage dear" pareho kaming bumuntong hininga.

Adulting thing is so freaking hella stressful! Like where is the manual that my parents read back then? Para naman may idea ako kung paano sila na ka rides sa stage na 'to.

I just want to go back being child again, 'yong wala kang iniisip na problema. Laro laro ka lang ganun!

Pareho kaming na pabalikwas ng biglang bumukas ang pintuan sa library, i saw mamá and papá entering inside.

"Papaaaaá'!" Masayang tawag ko. I run towards him like a child and hugged him so tight! Ngayon ko lang din siya nakita. He was been in spain for almost three weeks i guess? Busy siya sa business niya kaya hindi siya na kakauwi dito sa pilipinas.

"Mija, i miss you! How are you my dear?" My dad asked nang mag bitaw kami ng yakap sa isa't isa.

"I am ok papá don't worry about me" i answered. I lied. Honestly i am not ok lately, i have been so stressed in my life. It's just that i don't want them to worry about me.

"Mijo"

"Padre"

I heard brother lilly and papá greeted each other too bago kami umupo sa couch. Papá sat on the other couch in front of us, besides mamá.

Ilang sigundo pa nang pumasok ang isa namin sa kasambahay daladala ang isang tray of teas.

"Drexie, how's your work?" Papá asked me while sipping to his cup of tea. I sniffed a bit and thinking how to answer him.
