IRENE

Kuya Bong, Aimee and I decided to go to our sala right after Vida asked us to leave. Naabutan naman namin ang mga kuya niya sa na naguusap usap. Aimee sat beside Simon, Kuya Bong and me sat together on the vacant couch.

" We all knows na I am the favorite apo ni Mama Meldy because i am the first grandchild " Borgy says

" Really? Alam ko talaga, ako ang paborito ng Lola eh. " Hirit naman si Sandro

Nagdedebate pala ang magpipinsan kung sino talaga ang paborito ng kanilang lola.

" Its not because you are a Ferdinand, ikaw na kaagad ang paborito no. " Simon said that cause everyone to laugh

" Hindi naman nagiisa yang si Sandro eh. Ferdinand din naman kami. " singit ni Kuya Michael

" Oo nga, si Borgy, ako, at si Mike ay Ferdinand din. " hirit naman ni Alfonso

" Fernando is different from Ferdinand. " Luis backfires

" Still, I was named after Lolo Macoy. " Alfy proudly said

" Hay naku boys. Yung totoong paborito ng Lola niyo, ayun nasa kwarto niya umiiiyak at babalik na ulit ng amerika mamaya. " Bonget said na nakapag patahimik sa kanila. I lean on my brother's shoulder. Nalulungkot ako kasi ngayon na nga lang namin makakasama si Vida, ipinagkakait pa ni Ate. Kahit na ayokong mainis kay Ate, hindi ko maiwasan dahil nakikita ko ng nasasaktan yung pamangkin ko.

" I heard them shouting nga ni Mom kanina paglabas ko ng room ko. " Matthew said

Kung kanina nagdedebate sila about sa kung sino ang paborito ng kanilang Lola, ngayon nagrarant naman sila dahil hindi man lang nila makakabonding si Vida ng matagal. Yung tatlong kapatid nga ay hindi rin maiwasang magtampo sa nanay nila dahil hindi manlang daw sila mapagbigyang magkasama sama. They feel so pity for their sister.

Bigla silang natigil sa pagrereklamo ng biglang lumabas si Ate Imee sa kwarto ni Vida. You can't describe the looks on her face. Kanina nga she's so stuned sa mga nasabi ni Vida sa kaniya na kahit ako nagulat. Kitang kita ko kasi yung pangungulila ni Vida sa Mommy niya.

Ate Imee was about to enter her room when Vida got out of her room, she's wearing a jeans and a plain white shirt and her eyes are still puffy. She's talking to someone on her phone.

" I'm on my way. No, I don't have, Im just gonna grab a cab. " we heard her say before she go out of her room

" Yeah sure. You didn't tell me that you'll be able to follow here right away. What happend to the meeting? " We're all shocked ng ilabas niya sa kwarto niya yung maleta niya

" Oh really? Well, they can't afford to continue without a Vida Marcos that easily. " she said and gave a fake laugh

" Are you really not going to say goodbye to me? " Ate Imee blurted out that stop Vida from walking

" For what? Aren't you excited that I'm leaving and never coming back? " Vida said but hindi siya humarap kay Ate

" You're the one who want this, Mom. Not me and not anyone else. " After that nagsimula na ulit siyang maglakad kaya agad na tumayo ang mga Kuya niya at sumunod sa kaniya

" Ime, can you please let Vida stay kahit for a week or two lang. Kawawa naman yung bata. " Kuya Bong said and stood up to follow everyone

" And Ate, I need to talk to you about Vida. You need to know somethings. " after Aimee said that kaagad din siyang sumunod kila Kuya. While me, I stayed on my position and just stare to Ate

" Are you going to lecture me too, Irene? " Ate asked

" No Ate. I know you and kahit naiinis ako sa'yo ngayon, alam kong may matibay kang rason. " I tapped the couch so, she deeply sigh and immediately sat beside me.
