Broken Promises

Chapter 4 - Moments

Imee

I was secretly talking with Irene in my room, she's asking me if she could atleast see her daughter. Sana makakuha akonng tyempo, her daughter is one great big brainer, nakakahalata agad.

Kumatok ako sa pinto niya but there's no response kaya binuksan ko nalang ang pinto at pumasok sa kwartp niya, she's sleeping habang nakayakap sa favorite pillow niya.

"I'm inside her room na, she's sleeping.." sabi ko.

Biglaang change of career naman 'to, secret agent na. Lahat nalang ata ng trabahong delikado pinasukan ko na.

Tinapat ko yung camera kay Kate para makita ni Irene, I know she misses her so much, sa tagal ba naman ng panahon na hindi siya nagreach-out saamin.

"Okay na?"

"Yes manang, thank you.."

"Kailan mo balak umuwi? Magti-third year college na yung anak mo." tanong ko habang dahan-dahang papalabas ng kwarto ni Kate.

"How time flies so fast, I badly miss her manang. But I don't think, she wants to see me, she obviously hates me." Irene muttered, her voice speaks sadness.

"Yes, your unica hija is a grown-up woman na.."

She smiled, "Too bad I didn't see her turned into a fine woman." she aforementioned.

"Umuwi kana kasi para naman you can make bawi, she doesn't hate you.. I think she was just maybe disappointed, it's not always the same." I signified. I hope umuwi na siya, I hope she set her ego aside muna kasi baka she will lose her daughter's trust totally.

Malaki na si Kate, alam na niya ang tama sa mali. Matalino siya at alam kong maiintindihan niya ang sitwasyon, when we talked about her mother, I know that there's still love and care kahit papano.

"The time will come, manang.." sagot niya.

Hay nako.

Let's just hope for the best, maybe.

I needed to end the call because I still need to attend our online senate meeting, online because it's unexpected and urgent. Hindi naman na kami pwedeng pumunta pa ng Senate, malapit nang mag gabi.

Kate

I didn't even noticed that I fall asleep while crying. I'll visit daddy tomorrow, kasi I don't have something to do naman.

Pumunta ako sa baba and to my surprise, kuya Borgy is here. Kaladating niya lang from Ilocos, I wish makapunta na din ako the soonest possible time.

"Kuya, do you have any pasalubongs?" tanong ko agad sakanya, I missed food from our province.

Bahagyang nagulat ito sa biglang pagsulpot ko.

"You scared me!"

Tumawa lang ako, "May pasalubong ka?"

"I brought empanada and chicharon, fresh from Ilocos." he replied as he pointed to the eco-bag where the foods are inside.

"Can I eat the empanada right now? I'm literally hungry na talaga eh.." I asked.

He nodded, "Where's mommy?"

"Perhaps, in her room? I don't know, I just woke up." sagot ko habang abala sa pagkuha ng empanada nula sa bag.

"7Eleven tayo?"

"Omg sure, treat mo?" sagot ko agad.

"Syempre, hihingi lang tayo kay mommy.."

Lol. Hay naku kuya, certified ilokano.

"Sus, don't!" sabi ko sakanya.

"Okay, my treat nalang manong Borgy! Don't make hingi nalang to tita, baka she's busy.." sabi ko.
