Camila’s POV

“He is so busy...” I said to myself when I woke up and yet, I am not still seeing Sevann around the room.

But, after all, it is still good to know that he has still a time for Polyn, his child. And, for his wife as well. Even though he is a busy person, he could still spending his time with his family.

Dalawang oras na ang nakalipas nang ipatawag siya ng Director ng hospital. Hindi ko naman alam na ganoon pala katagal ang usapan nila para umabot ng dalawang oras. I stared at the clock, and immediately noticed that it was already late. Umikot nalang ako sa room niya.

It was like he had his own unit, but in a hospital. I even checked the papers on his table because how I bored I was while waiting for him. His table were all organized just like what he had on his home.

I yawned again before opening my phone to text Yaya. Hindi rin ako sigurado kung nasundo niya na ba si Camile sa eskwelahan. Agad na akong nagtipa ng mensahe para kay Yaya. Nangumusta lang ako sa kaniya at lumipas ang limang minuto nang makatanggap ako ng reply galing sa kaniya.

From : Yaya Florida

Where are you, Mommy!

I was shocked when I saw the text message. I am sure that it was Camile who replied to me. My phone vibrates two times so I had to check my notifications. I received two text messages again from Camile, she was still using Yaya Florida’s phone number.

From : Yaya Florida

Call, Mommy! Miss u!

I clicked the next message.

From : Yaya Florida

Reply, Mommy! Hurry!

Napapailing na napangiti ako sa mga reply ni Camile sa akin bago ako tumawag sa Messenger dahil wala namang FaceTime ang phone ni Yaya. Wala pang ilang minuto nang sagutin kaagad nila ang tawag ko.

Masama na agad ang tingin ng anak ko nang bumungad siya sa camera ng phone ni Yaya. Sumimangot siya sa akin, handa na siguro siyang sumigaw at magtampo sa akin.

[ You did not go home! Where are you! Are you already leaving me! ]

It sounded like she wasn’t asking a questions, instead, it sounded like she just wanted to warned me.

Napatawa ako nang tumama ang hinala ko sa gagawin ni Camile. “Sorry, anak. May binisita lang ako.”

[ Sinama mo sana ako! ] She pouted in front of the camera. I could hear how Yaya scoffed my daughter.

“You have classes when I decided to visit a friend, anak.” I stated, smiling at her.

[ Hmmp! Who’s that friend, Mommy! I wanted to know! ] She started to ask.

I scratched my head a little bit. [ Do not lie! I can see you! ]

I let out a small laugh as I shook my head to her. “Remember our neighbor? I visited him in the hospital.” I calmly said as I leaned on the chair.
