‘No Papa, no! No, don’t leave me! Papa, no!’ My angel’s crying nonstop. Since she saw me getting ready to go. Kung ano ano na ang binigay nila Mika, Dani and Yaya Plo just to make her stop from crying. Kawawang baby, sobrang pula na dahil sa kakaiyak.
‘Papa! Noooooooo...’ She cries again. Papa ng Papa. Naka cling pa sa paa ko.
This is really the hardest part whenever I visit Cebu. Saying goodbye.
‘Baby, Papa will be back so soon naman. Don’t cry na.’ Pinipilit ko talagang patahanin. God, it’s still four in the morning. Dapat natutulog pa to eh, pero nagising din kasi when Dani wake up. If only I can extend my stay here, pero hindi pwede. I have a game tomorrow, training later. Semis na kasi, kailangan talaga.
Our flight will be by seven pa naman but I still haven’t prepare my things. And eto pa si Kierra, ayaw akong pagalawin.
‘Kierra... Stop crying na. Too early pa baby. Papa promise to visit you soon again.’ I held Kierra in my arms. Siniksik naman kaagad yung mukha niya sa neck ko. Still, crying.
Nasisinok na.
‘Yaya water please...’ I asked Yaya for water. Grabeng iyak na ni Kierra kasi.
I really hate this moment everytime I leave. Dani’s in the other couch preparing her bags, while Mika’s in the room, preparing mine. Tingnan mo ang isang to, pinabayaan ako mag isa magpatahan sa anak namin.
‘Mama...’ I called Mika to come over, tulungan niya naman akong patahanin tong batang to.
Mika came out the room with my blue backpack, guess tapos niya nang ligpitin mga gamit ko.
‘Ikaw na niyan. You can do it Papa.’ She said. Nilagay niya lang ang bag sa couch then dumeretso na sa kitchen.
Natawa naman si Dani and Yaya Plo. Uhrg, Mika!
‘Baby baby... Listen, please don’t cry na. I promise to come visit you as soon as possible. Baby please, stop crying na.’ Kierra just keep on shaking her head and still, crying.
‘No! You keep on telling me that...’ She said, she punches me na.
Kierra masakit na ah.
‘Promises are just meant to be broken kasi Papa.’ Mika said then laugh with Dani and Yaya Plo. They are in the kitchen, feasting with the lechon paksiw.
