"Her voice soothes me" - Jimin



(Angel's POV)

Nang marinig ko ang sinabi niya ay muli ko silang dinala sa second floor ng bahay, sa kwarto ko.


Nararamdaman ko kasi ang pasimpleng sulyap ng mga taong naroon pati narin ang mahihinang bulungan nila tungkol kay Daddy. Kalat kasi dito ang ginawa niya sa'kin kaya naghiwalay sila ni Mama.



May maliit na sofa naman doon kaya magiging komportable parin siya. Iniwan lang namin ang dalawang kasama niya sa labas para makausap ko nang maayos si lola.

"Sorry, I haven't fixed my room since I arrived here." dahan-dahan akong umupo sa gilid nang kama at hinarap siya.

"It's okay. I heard that you're studying in Seoul. How are you? You're doing okay there? How was School?" sunod-sunod at natataranta pa niyang tanong sa'kin.

I can't help but to chuckle.


"S-sorry, I'm just nervous because this is my first time being a grandma. Kenji is my only son and after knowing that he left a family here in the Philippines, I immediately book a flight to go here in your country."


"Genki desu, Obaasan. I'm in 3rd year in college, Studying film directing but the sad part is I dropped out because I went home to take care the funeral of my mom. And my pregnancy... I just discovered it later when I was brought in the hospital because of my asthma."

[Translation: Genki desu, Obaasan = I'm fine, Grandma.]

"Oh my... I'm really sorry for not being there for both of you. I never thought I would be this late to meet you, I never had a chance to meet your Mama. But still I'm happy that I finally meet you, Angel. Is your asthma that bad?" she asked worriedly.

"I think so. It doesn't attack more often but when it attacks in a severe way..." I chuckled a bit.

"They will surely send me to the hospital." I added.

"Oh my... I will surely make an appointment to a doctor for your check ups so we can monitor your health... So when can I meet your husband?"



I smiled sadly.

"Ahmm... I don't have a husband."




Natigilan naman siya at tumingin sa'kin.

"Oh, so you're planning to take care of it alone?"


Tumango ako bilang tugon.

"Angel. Since I am now here..." muli ko siyang sinulyapan.


"You don't have to worry anymore. I will help you raising your baby. I will take care of you. I will make sure you will not be alone anymore. Do you want to come with me in Japan?"
