Chapter 43
It's been days since all of that happen. I've been living my life, kapag umaga ay nasa cafe ako at doon nag papalipas ng hapon at pag uwi naman ay kasabay ko lagi si Sarah kumain. Hindi ko alam pero I feel happy and confident when I'm alone, but I still feel empty inside. Kelio is still calling me and I always answered his calls, I don't want him to feel guilty of what happened between us.
Ilang araw ko na ding hindi nakikita si Permion at wala pa akong balak na makita ito lalo na nang matapos ang nangyari noong nag bakasyon kami.
It's almost a month before Christmas and here I am buying gifts. Aalis ako bago mag pasko dahil walang kasama si mommy pag pasko doon. Napahinto ako sa isang shop na puro pang bata. Biglang pumasok sa isip ko ang mukha ni Liv. Pumasok ako doon at nag hanap ng pwedeng laruin nito.
Pag katapos kong bumili ng pang regalo ay dumiretso ako sa cafe para bisitahin sila doon. Hindi ko alam kung bakit palagi akong pumupunta sa parehong lugar kahit Alan ko naman na wala naman akong magagawa doon.
Matapos mag palipas ng oras sa cafe ay agad akong umuwi sa bahay para mag pahinga. Nag simula din akong mag pack ng mga pang regalo para hindi din masayang ang oras ko.

I woke up early in the morning because I have some errands to do. Nag book na din ako ng flight ko pauwi. Next week I'm leaving. Napatingin ako sa phone ko nang tumunog iyon at nilabas and text message mula kay daddy.
Daddy: Hi, anak. Are you free today?
Agad akong pumasok sa kotse pag kabasa ko noon at nag type ng reply sakanya.
Me: Yeah, I'm free. Why?
Daddy: I think this is the right time to meet your siblings.
Hindi ko maiwasang hindi kabahan dahil sa sinabi nito, pero agad naman akong nag type ng reply na pumapayag ako. Habang nasa byahe papunta kung saan kami mag kikita ay hindi ko maiwasang hindi isipin kung ano ang magiging reaction nila kapag nakita nila ako.
Nang makarating ako sa lugar ay agad akong nag park at pumasok sa loob ng isang cafe. Nilibot ko ang paningin ko sa buong paligid at agad kong nakita si daddy na nakatingin saakin habang nakangiti. Agad akong lumapit sa pwesto nila.
Tumayo si daddy at sinalubong ako ng yakap, hinalikan din nito ang gilid ng ulo ko. I smiled at him and hugged him back. Napatingin ako sa katapat namin nang tumayo ang dalawang lalaki na mas bata na ilang taon saakin.
They're both good looking and very young. They smile genuinely at me and that made me calm. Is mild back at them and nodded my head as an appreciation.
Umupo kami at nag order ng makakain. I only order light meal because Sarah will cook lunch for the both of us.
"This is Elton and Jacob." napatingin ako sa harap nang sabihin iyon ni daddy. Elton has messy hair and jet black eyes while Jacob has a neat hair and also jet black eyes, they look like an international model.
"This is your ate Lyons. " I blushed when I heard that word. Nobody calls me ate before.
"Hi ate Lyons, it's great to finally meet you. " nakangiting sabi ni Elton habang nakatingin saakin.
"Yeah, dad talk a lot about you. He said you're he's only princess, ate " Jacob said.
It feel great to heard someone called you ate especially when that word comes from your siblings. I smiled at them.
"I'm very happy to meet the both of you. " nakangiting sabi ko. We have many things to talk about and I learned many things about my siblings.
