Mommy's awake na and i am planning to talke to her na. I start reminiscing about what happened last night. I remembered that i shouted na sana hindi na lang bumalik si Gracie.
I didn't mean it, I didn't meant to said that.
"Kuya, can you please help me fix this stuffs? May class pa kasi ako eh" Gracie said
"Grace? After your class let's talk again ha" sambit ko
"Ok po" tugon ni Gracie
"Mom?" Sambit ko
She ignores us at dumeretso sa baba.
"I'll talk to her na lang okay?" Sambit ko
"Yes sure" tugon ni Gracie
"Mom? Im sorry" pag yakap ko sa likod ni Mommy
"I didn't mean what i did last night" sambit ko
"I'm sorry anak, i wasn't able to protect both of you, napaka walang kwenta kong ina" sambit ni mommy
"No mom,, wag mong sabihin yan" sambit ko
"Anak, i am, hindi ko man lang kayo maalagaan o maprotektahan, tingnan mo kung anong nang yayare sa family natin" tugon ni Mommy
"Mommy this is not your fault, everything happens for a reason" sambit ko
"And i want to know that reason anak, ayokong nakikitang nasasaktan ka o ang mga kapatid mo" sambit ni mommy
"Mom, napaka tapang mo, and i swear sobrang dami ng nagawa mo para protektahan kami at ang pamilya natin" sambit ko
"Im sorry" she kneeled down
"Mom, stand up" sambit ko
"You don't need to say sorry" sambit ko and i wiped her tears
"Ang dami mo nang pinag daanan just to protect your family, hindi mo na iniisip ang sarili mo puro na lang kamiz and i am sorry for not seeing and realizing that" sambit ko
"Anak? Im sorry pero hindi ko na pipilitin pang ibalik yung pamilya natin" sambit ni mommy

"It's okay mom, hindi mo naman kailangang ipilit kung hindi naman talaga kaya" sambit ko
"But Gracie wants us na mabuo kahit man lang sa birthday nya" sambit ko
"Hindi ko kaya" tugon ni Mommy
I hugged her tight and i let her cry on my shoulders.....
GRACIE
I chatted dad and asked him if we can talk here sa bahay and he agreed kahit alam nyang hindi na sya gustong makita ni Mommy. But as my father he's still willing to fulfill his job as my companion.
"Dad?" Sambit ko
"Are you okay?" Tanong nya
"Yeah, my arm hurts but it's okay" sambit ko
"Did your mom tell you already?" Tanong ni daddy
"Not yet but i already know about it" sambit ko
"Im sorry, we can't fulfill your dreams to have a complete family" sambit ni Daddy
"It's okay, i understand, but i have one more favor" sambit ko
"What is it?" Tanong ni Daddy
"I am tired celebratong my birthday without a complete family? I hope kahit sa debut ko kompleto tayo even though i am paralyzed" sambit k
"I-i don't know love" sambit ni Daddy
"Please dad, i know how much you loved mom and i know mommy didn't fall out of love" sambit ko
"I know that she just did that because she don't want us to get hurt, dad i promise i will help you to get mommy back" sambit ko
Dad hugged me so tight, mag uusap pa sana kami but my class starts na. After that dad help me to get down stairs and i ate my meryenda na sa may garage.
"What is he doing here?" Tanong ni mommy
"Mom let him be, he's my father and he's obligation to take care of me" sambit ko
"Wait here ha, ill just going to get something sa car" sambit ni daddy
"What ever, dyan ka lang anak ha aayusin ko lang yung bonsai ko sa likod" sambit ni Mommy
Kuya was making hele kay Andy binaba nya to sa stroller at iniwan nya sa may garage. Sinisilip silip ko lang si Andy dahil hindi ko naman sya malalapitan.
"Skylar" sigaw ni Mommy
Our dog came out from his cage and suddenly nabangga nito ang stroller ni Andy and hindi pala naka preno ang stroller and it starts rolling.
Pababa pa naman ang daan namin mula sa Garage papunta sa Gate. I don't know what comes into my mind and without hesitation i stand up and run after the stroller.
At first, i thought i cant make it. But i did, naharangan ko ang stroller ni Andy bago bumangga sa gate.
"What happened?" Tanong ni Mommy
"A-anak?" Tanong ni Daddy
I was holding andy and i am crying. I just realized that i run after Andy's stroller. I was able to stand up straight after being paralyzed for a month.
