"She feels na pinag palit ko sya sa trabaho noon" i said
"How bout her mental health habang nasa Hawaii kayo?" He asked
"Unstable, that's why i want to spend a lot of my time with her, kaso ang hirap" i said
"Is she longing for father's love?" He asked
"As always, alam ko namang masaya sya pero may kulang eh" i said
"For about 2years, hinyaan ko kayo at wala akong ginawa" he said
I lean on his shoulders and hold his hand
"Hindi naman natin ginusto ang mag hiwalay, iniwasan lang natin na baka kung mag kasama tayo baka palagi tayong mag away, ayoko namang makita ng mga anak natin na ganon" i said
"O sya anong oras na, matulog kana dyan sa tabi ni Gracie" i said
"Dun ka sa kabilang side, maluwag naman eh" he said sabay hila ng konti kay Gracie
Lumipat naman ako ng pwesto at humiga sa kabilang side. Di naman na nag tagal at nakatulog na ako.

Nagising akong kami na lang ni Gracie ang mag katabi...
"Mom" Alfie called
"Anak? Nasan ang daddy mo?" i asked
"Umalis na, tumawag si Cindy may nang yare kay Clyde" i he said
"Oh? Maliligo na ako" i said
"Okay" he uttered
Naligo naman na ako at umalis ng bahay...
Sumunod ako sa condo ni Greggy, umalis kasi sya ng hindi nag papaalam..
*Knock knock
"Wait" he said
*Opened the door
"Mahal" he said
"Tatay na tatay ah" i said
Nakasuot sya ng sando at apron habang naka boxer shorts at buhat buhat si Clyde
"Teka yung niluluto ko, pasok ka" he said
Medyo makalat yung condo nya, nag kalat yung maruruming damit ni Clyde at ni Cindy...
"Ano ba naman tong condo mo, parang di nililinis ni Cindy" i said
"Ewan ko ba don" he said
"Akin na nga si Clyde, baka matilabsikan pa to ng mantika" i said
"Halika dito kay Tita Irene" i said sabay kuha kay Clyde
"Pasensya kana" he said
"Ano ba wala yon, nasan nanay at yaya neto?" I asked
"Nag resign na yung yaya si Cindy naman ewan ko, basta umalis sya ng tulog pa si Clyde kaya nag madali akong umuwe, bat ka pala sumunod?" He asked
"Hmmm tatanungin sana kita kung free ka sa Saturday, mag bonding tayong lima" i said
"Oh sige bakit hindi" he said
"Gising na ba si Gracie?" He asked
"Maryosep oo nga pala nakalimutan kong ibilin" i sais
Agad akong tumawag sa bahay para sabihin na umalis na ako at pumasok sa opisina..
(Gracie's pov)
Nagising akong wala na si Daddy sa tabi ko. Lumabas ako para hanapin sya at si Mommy pero wala na sila.
"Nasa office na si mom" Kuya said
"Hawakan mo nga muna tong si Andy mag gagawa ako ng breakfast mo" he said
Kinuha ko naman si Andy....
"Good morning" kuya Luis said and kissed my forehead
"Kuya" i sais
"Okay kana ba?" Ate xandra asked
"Trending yung video sa Facebook at Tiktak" kuya Luis said
"Hoy wag mo na anuhin, Luis" kuya Alfonso said
"Maam akina po si Andy" Yaya said
"Dapat sinapak mo" Kuya luis said
"Ano ka ba" ate xandra said sabay hampas kay kuya Luis
"Nasan nanay mo?" He asked
"Umalis na eh" i pouted
"Busy lang yon hayaan mo, babawe yon" kuya Alfonso said and hugged me
"Hello po?" A familiar voice said
" Sara" Kuya Luis said
"Hello Good morning" Ate Sara said
"Ate" i uttered
I hugged her tight because i really missed her so much...
"Ate i miss you" i said
"I miss you too honey" she said
"Are you okay na?" She asked
"Medyo" i said
"Hmmm alam ko na, may ticket kasi ako ng concert ng December avenue dyan lang yo sa Paranaque, eh kaso may pupuntahan ako, baka gusto mo since fan ka naman diba?" She said
"Ibibigay mo saken?" I asked
"Ofcourse, sainyo ni Tita Irene" she said
"Thank you ate" i said and hugged her
*Mwaaa* i kissed her on her cheeks
"Oh ayan may time na kayo para mag bonding ni Mommy" Kuya Alfie said
"Yessss" i cheer
Excited na ako para ibigay kay Mommy yung isang ticket...
