JUSTIN'S P.O.V
after my first event for the day, i went straight to las piñas to mama mylene's house to run the errand that she asked me to.
"tao po? mama?" i called as soon as i got close to their gate. not so long after, i saw mama mylene walk out of the house, greeting me with a happy grin, like she always does.
"magandang tanghali, anaakk!" she said excitedly and hugged me as if we haven't seen each other for a year. miss na miss nanaman ako ni mama. sus! kung nandito si stell, nagselos na 'yun! ><
"halika, mag-tanghalian ka na muna dito." she pulled me by my arm but i stopped her before we could go inside.
"ay, ma... pwede po ba kung ano.. kung kukunin ko nalang po yung mga damit ni stell tapos magbalot nalang po ako ng lunch?"
"bakit? ayaw mo ba kumain dito?"
i shook my head and gently held her arm. "ay, hindi naman po, ma. naisip ko lang po kasi, dadalhin ko nalang yung luto mo kay stell since hindi naman siya makakapagbyahe pa kasi nga po nagpapahinga pa siya. baka po kasi namimiss niya na yung luto mo tapos wala siyang kasabay kumain doon sa condo niya kaya sasabayan ko nalang din po siya."
i got shocked when she suddenly pouted and pulled me in for a hug.
"o, ma? bakit po?" i chuckled while rubbing her back. i heard her sniffle so i quickly pulled away and panicked a bit when i saw tears in her eyes.
"hala, ma, bakit ka po umiiyaaak?"
"wala, anak. natutuwa lang talaga ako na hindi mo pinababayaan si stell. kahit nung nasa comatose pa siya at halos lahat kami sumusuko na at gusto nang bitawan yung buhay ni stell, nilaban mo siya. salamat, justin, kasi hindi mo binitawan si stell, kagaya ng pinangako mo sa kanya. alam kong pagod na pagod ka na pero nandito ka pa din hanggang ngayon kaya maraming salamat."
i smiled at her. my eyes also got teary now but I didn't want to go full on crying infront of her. "mahal ko po si stell, ma. sa dami ng pinagdaanan namin noon, hindi siya sumuko sa'kin kahit isang beses. kaya ngayon pong siya naman yung kailangan ng tulong ko, hindi rin ako susuko sa kanya. makakaasa ka po, ma." we did one last hug before i helped her take all the clothes of stell in a duffel bag and a brown paper bag which contains the food that she prepared for us.
"bye, 'nak! ingat ka!" mama mylene waved from the gate and i waved back at him before driving away to stell's condo.
i'm just nervous about one thing...
will he still welcome me the same way he used to when he doesn't even remember a single thing that we have shared?
