Mistake

M:Chapter 2 { Life in Hawaii }

It's been years since we moved here in Hawaii and I must say that my life is good here. It's like I don't wanna go back to the Philippines anymore.

Mommy told me everything. I cried so much. For all these years I never knew how much pain it caused my mom. I thought she was okay but when I found the truth, I realized that she was deeply in pain. And I salute her for being strong for us.

Mommy stopped going to her weekly therapy already. She's finally okay. I'm happy for her.

Ever since we moved in here, my whole life changed. Mommy taught me how to speak in filipino and in ilocano. When they were still together, daddy only wanted me to speak in english that's why mommy had a hard time teaching me.

I remember what daddy told my mom. He said he loves us three, especially me but I never felt that since he left us. Maybe he's not a man of his words.

My kuya's are in college already. Kuya Fonso's in his last year of college, while kuya Luis is in his second year.

My eldest brother promised to build a business after graduating so that we will stop getting support from our dad.

Though we don't need money, daddy still supports financially to the three of us. Of course he has no choice but to support us. It's against the law if he didn't.

Not gonna lie, I miss my dad. Even after all the things that he did to us. He's my dad e. Nothing's gonna change that title he has in my life.

I called daddy since mommy's not home naman. She doesn't want me to call him anymore since his new wife answered and shouted at me.

I'm sorry mommy, I disobeyed you again.

"Hi dad! I missed you—

I immediately hung up when I heard a girl who's moaning daddy's name really loud. What the hell was that? My heart shattered once again. What's wrong with him? Is it already the end? Hindi na ba talaga sila magkakabalikan?

I cried.

He changed alot. I don't know how can he do this to his little princess. I was nine. A girl who only knows nothing but to play. I was too young and innocent.

He promised that he'll never leave us but it was just a lie. Why do people even promise if they couldn't keep it?

I have many questions inside my head right now. Questions that I badly want him to answer.

Why is it so easy for him to leave us like that? Why did he choose her over us? over my mom?

when I heard them shouting, I thought it was normal. Mama imee said they will be fine, but where's that "fine" now?

I know it isn't fine.

Daddy's daughter is so lucky to have him by her side. To have them BOTH by her side. To have a complete and happy family, but what about me? He didn't think of what pain it caused us. We had a hard time moving on.

If this is a dream please wake me up.

"Mommy's home!" I heard her shout.

I wiped my tears. Suddenly the door opened. I saw my mom smiling.

As she saw my puffy eyes, she started to get worried, "Baby, why?" She sweetly asked.

I couldn't say anything. She just hugged me tightly.

"You called your dad again, am i right?" I nodded. I can't lie to my mom.
