THIRD PERSON

Alyshia took out a deep breath nang makarating siya sa harap ng ospital where his father was.

This is for the best, lowering her pride is the best way to relieve all the pain inside her heart. Panahon na rin siguro para pakinggan niya ang side ng papa niya.

❝You can do it, Alyshia❞ she cheered herself.

Kinakabahan itong pumasok ng elevator at pinindot ang floor number ng room ng dad niya.

Hindi niya alam kung ano ang mga posibleng mangyari but all she can do is to hope, na sana maging maayos na ang lahat pagkatapos. To let herself be happy again.

She walked towards his father's room saka dahan-dahang binuksan ang pinto.

❝Leave it to me. Babalik na naman ako next week so everything will be settled again❞ she heard her father's voice.

She waited for them to finished talking and thankfully, her dad saw her waiting at the door.

❝Let's talk tomorrow. You may go home and rest now❞ sambit nito sa sekretarya niya.

She smiled at his secretary bago ito makalabas ng room, leaving Alyshia and his dad in a awkward atmosphere.

She'll admit that it feels good to see her dad doing good after getting sick. And what's worse is that hindi man lang siya pumunta when he needed help the most.

That hurts her suddenly kahit alam niyang galit siya dito.

❝Long time no see❞ her father greeted with a small smile.

❝Do you still have time to talk?❞ she asked, nagbabaka-sakaling his dad still had energy to talk things out between them.

❝Of course, I'll always have time for my one and only daughter❞

Wow, that was really good to hear

At this point of Alyshia's life, she could feel something through her eyes. Her eyes are tearing up, hindi niya na napigilan ang sarili when she immediately ran towards her father and hugged him tightly na para bang ilang taon silang hindi nagkita.

❝I miss you, anak❞ that made her cry more.

She doesn't deserve her father, naging pasaway na bata siya and gave him a lot of headaches sa tuwing tatakbo siya palayo dahil sa nangyari sa mama niya.

❝Papa, I'm sorry❞ finally, the words he deserved to hear all this time.

❝I'm sorry kung lagi kitang tinatakbuhan. Masyado kitang sinisi sa pagkamatay ni Mama. I'm sorry for being a useless daughter❞ sunod-sunod na sambit niya.

❝Yshia naman. Wala kang kasalanan. I understand where you are coming from. Kasalanan ko, hindi ko sinubukan i-explain sayo lahat❞

Her father cupped his cheeks saka pinahiran ang luha nito. How he missed being with his daughter.

❝I'm sorry pa rin po kasi palagi kitang pinagsasalitaan ng masama. But this time po, I won't run away. Handa po akong makinig sa lahat ng explanations niyo❞

Her father explained everything mula sa pagtanggi ng Mom ni Alyshia na magpagamot hanggang sa pagkamatay nito.

Her mom knows she can't live anymore. Masyado nang malala ang sakit niya, and it'll be such a waste kung gagastos pa. She couldn't almost talk but still, pinagbilin niya pa rin si Alyshia sa kanya.

He tried explaining everything pero Alyshia would frequently run away from him. That's why he didn't even tried to talk to her again, he knows she hates him.

Nakaramdam ng panghihinayang si Alyshia sa sarili. If only hindi na lang siya lumayo and listened more to his dad, maybe walang masasaktang tao dahil sa kanya.

❝Nga pala, nung isang araw pala. Anong nangyari kay Junkyu? Nagkita kayo dito before right?❞

Alyshia could feel the lumps on her throat. Hindi niya alam kung paano sasabihin sa Dad niya yung nangyari.

❝O-okay naman po kami pa❞ Liar

❝I'm glad to hear that, akala ko kasi nagalit ka rin sa kanya for visiting me here. But you know what? I like that guy so much❞ Alyshia turned her gaze to her father.

❝Bakit po?❞

❝I know he's a good guy. Na-kwento niya rin sa akin that he likes you. And he was afraid to tell you kase daw baka lumayo ka daw sa kanya❞

❝Pa naman, why are you telling me if he's afraid?❞ natatawang tanong nito kahit pa she feels sad just by hearing his name.

❝I'm just doing him a favor. And besides, I like him for you. I know he can take care of you. That guy is pure and genuine, Alyshia❞

❝The way he talks and approach me, kahanga-hanga. You are lucky to have that kind of guy in your life. Alam mo naman, ang ibang lalaki ngayon. Hindi na maganda❞ iiling-iling na sambit nito.

Oo nga pa, I'm indeed lucky to have the most understanding and genuine guy in my life.

❝Make sure to bring him at my office next time. I'll cook for him❞

Alyshia playfully pouted.

❝How about me naman?❞ nagtatampong tanong nito.

❝Of course, I'll cook for you too.❞

I will pa.. I will

But for the meantime, she needs to make it up to him. She knows how much she hurted him so much.
