Chapter 16

"I'm sorry iha.. if I'm burden to you.." sabi ni lola habang inalalayan ko sya pahiga sa kaniyang kama. She reaches for my head, and caress my hair while she was watching me to help her.

I smiled, weakly. After all, she's my grandmother. I'm on my weakest that moment when they announced she has a heart diseases.

"You're not, mama la.." I said softly.

I could see through her eyes how thankful she was. But at the same time, may lungkot dahil sa kaka isip nyang pabigat sya.

"So kailan nga ang uwi mo?"

I'm on our video call with kath, and quina. Parehas kaming tatlo na naka harap sa mga phones namin habang ang nasa likuran ay ang head board ng kama.

"I don't know.." It's almost a whisper.

They both sigh heavily on the screen. Halatang problemado rin dahil sinabi ko sa kanila na gusto ko ng umuwi. But unfortunately, I still can't because of this.

Levi and I didn't contactrd each other. I was trying to contact him, kahit nakuha kona mismo ang number nya sa dalawang kaibigan ko. Katulad ng dati, patuloy parin sya sa pag ignora ng tawag at text ko.

I miss him, I miss him so much.

"If you'll ask me when you'll be able to come home, as you can see hailey. Your grandmother needs you-"

"Mom, please.." I pleaded.

Her arms were crossing her arms over her chest. Actually this is our first time talking with each other. Matapos nilang sabihin sa akin na tutuloy na ako rito, hindi ko na siya kinausap. After all of these, she made a decision without my permission or consent.

"You'll stay there-"

"No!"

Tumayo ako sa aking kinauupuan, even my grandmother gasp behind me. My mom's eyes widen eyes a bit.

"Moana hailey!" Mom shouted.

I walked away and stormed out from that room. Hindi na ako pinigilan ni lola, ngunit si mommy narinig ko syang tinawag ako mula sa laptop.

Gusto ko ng umuwi, I miss my home. I miss levi, and I miss everyone except my mom. She made me hate her for being and acting like this. Mama 'la could come home with me, pwpwede sya doong mag pagamot. H'wag lang ganito na dito ako mananatili!

In the end of the day, nakonsenya ako sa inakto ko da harap ng aking lola. Baka kubg anong isipin nya, gusto ko siyang alagaan oo but I hope they think of me too, especially my mom.

"Ako na po d'yan.." pigil ko sa kasambahay rito. She smiled and let me carry the food in the tray.

I was confused and worried, ayaw ni lola lumabas mula sa kwarto nya. Naririnig ko lang kanina ngunit mas nanaig ang kahihiyan ko.

I knocked in the door before opening it.

"Mama 'la?" She slowly opened her eyes. Her smile, lighten up my mood, ngunit nanaig parin ang hiya sa akin.

I putted the tray at the bed table. Tumayo na sya at ambang tutulungan ko when she told me she insists so I let me her. Tahimik kong inasikaso sya habang ramdam ang kaniyang paninitig.

"I'm very sorry iha.. honestly you can go back in the Philippines.."

Ngumiti ako at umiling. "I'm still adjusting po.." I lied for her sake.
