Rainy Days (Daylight Series #1)

Chapter 17

We arrived at our town and I saw people looking at the car. Hindi nila alam na uuwi ako at wala rin naman silang pake kung umuwi ako. Zianna still live in their old house even though she already have a condominium in Manila.

Her parents still live here also at sinusupportahan nalang niya financially. Lalo na ngayon at siya na ang namamahala sa lahat ng business nila. Tita Melody and Tito Anton stay at their house and would travel to another country if they're bored.

"We're here..." Zianna uttered.

A lot of things changed in Sorsogon. Madami ang nadagdag na buildings and Malls. I looked at the white house, it doesn't look old. It still the same of how I live in here 20 years ago.

"Are you sure about this, Nat?" Zianna asked me in her worried voice.

The beat of my heart doubled when I saw people stopped just to looked at our car. It's tinted that's why they can't saw me inside. This place reminds me of how I hurt the man that I loved.

It reminded me of my painful past.

"I think about this for a days, Zi. And I can't just back out now." I gave her a small smile.

"Is this your old house, Mom? Is someone still living here?" Inosenteng tanong ni Princess.

I cleared my throat before answering her. "This is where grandpa and grandma lives, anak. They are inside..." Nanlaki ang mata ni Princess sa sinabi ko.

"Really, Mommy?! We will get to see them?" She excitedly said.

I nodded at her excitement. This will be the first time that they will see Mom and Dad. At nakakalungkot man isipin na sa ganitong dahilan ko sila ipapakilala. They will see Dad laying in bed with his sickness.

"Come on, Mom! Let's go." Diana hold my hand.

I heaved a deep breath before nodding. "Okay, anak. We will get inside now."

I motioned Zi to go first before me and the kids. Nakita ko kung paano nanlaki ang mata ng taong nakakita sa'min. I heared their gossip about me and my kids when I got to finally go down.

'Hala! May pamilya na pala ang anak ni Gov?'

'Sobrang gaganda ng anak niya!'

'Mukhang successful na 'yong anak niya kasi naka limousine na eh!'

'Hindi natin siya nakita ng ilang taon dito sa Sorsogon ha?'

'Asa'n kaya ang asawa niya? Kasama niya ba?'

That is some of the gossip I heared from the people. And they're getting a lot outside looking at us.

"Mommy? Why are they looking at us?" Tanong ni Diana.

"They were just confused, anak. It's their first time to see you both here. Unlike, Mommy who born and raised her by your grandparents." Paliwanang ko.
