HUG ME, MOM

HUG ME, MOM

"Dad..."

"Dad..." I called my Dad but he didn't respond. Oh, I forgot, he's working abroad.

Ramdam ko ang bigat ng katawan ko and I feel so wary and weak. I can't even stand but I have to. With my eyes half awake, I reached the thermometer on the table and checked my temperature. Fck! It still doesn't change. It's still high asf.

"Mom..." I called my mom.

"Mom...a-are you there?" I called her once again with a feeble voice.

"M-Mom...can you give me water?" But I guess she didn't hear me. So I have to stand on my own and get the water from the fridge. When I was about to sit, she appears.

She smiles at me and so do I.

She sits beside me while I was leaning on the headboard.

"You're doin' great, my baby."

"Mom..." She smiled again.

"Take care of yourself, honey, mom's always here."

" I... missed you," I uttered weakly.

" I love you, honey." With that last words, she disappeared.

At saka ako humagulgol.

Because my mom passed away a few days ago.
