Sinundo ako ni Kuya ng maaga and we decided to buy a lot of stuff for Noche Buena. I am the one who's going to prepare for it.
"Don't be shock if i tell you this ha" kuya said
"Hmmmm?" I asked
"I think Melvin's going to celebrate with us" kuya said while driving
I want to shout, but I can't kasi hawak ko si Andy.
"What? For real?" I asked
"Uhuh, pag kagising ko nakita ko sila nag lalambingan sa sofa" Sambit ni Kuya
"Kapal ng muka~" he cuts me off
"Gracie, sa lahat ng kayang makapigil kay mommy, its not me, its you" sambit ni kuya
"We only have tomorrow to convince her" sambit ko
"Try to to convince her honey" sambit ni kuya
Hinabilin muna namin si Andy bago kami dumeretso sa Grocery store. Pag kauwe namin sa bahay eh andon na nga si Mommy at si Melvin.
"Why is he here?" I asked
"Wala ang daddy mo diba, and he'll never gonna celebrate with us, so i invited Melvin, he's soon to be your father" mommy said
"What?" I uttered
"You heard it right! Mag papakasal kami ni Melvin right after the hearing" sambit ni Mommy
"Mo-mom? Seryoso ka ba?" I asked
"You think im not?" Tanong nya
"Mom? You're really letting go of dad?"
"I know how much you love daddy, and i know your only doing that just to forget how much you love my father, and if that's the case then your start to forget how much you loves us"
"Hindi kami mabubuo, at hindi kami mananatili kung hindi mo talaga mahal si Daddy"
"Gracie, can we just move on?" Taning ni Mommy
"If you can, go, but us? Hindi ko alam mommy" i said
Umakyat ako sa kwarto at don nag simulang mag prepare, lahat ng ireref ginawa ko na at ang mga lulutuin eh inutos ko na kay na yaya.
~~~
It's already 10:30 kaya bumaba na ako.
"Wow, prepared na lahat" sambit ko
"Oh? Kuya? San kayo pupunta ni Andy?" I asked
"Ininvite kami nung lola ni Andy to have Noche Buena with them, I can't say no naman kasi sa new year wala sila" sambit ni kuya
"Oh? Okay" sambit ko
"Uuwe na lng kami bukas ng umaga, bye merry Christmas" sambit ni Kuya sabay halik sa noo ko
"Atleast si Momm~" i trailed off
"Anak, sasama ka ba?" Tanong ni Mommy
"Where?" I asked
"Ininvite kasi ni Mommy si Irene na mag celebrate ng Christmas sa bahay" sambit ni Melvin
"Your coming?" I asked
"Yes honey? Sama ka ba?" Mommy asked
"N-no" i said, nag iinit na ang mga mata ko at nag pipigil ng luha.
"Okay, merry Christmas baby" sambit ni Mommy at humalik sa cheeks ko
They literally left me all alone, akala ko porke hindi ako sasama hindi na ako iiwan. Kayang kaya akong ipag palit ni Mommy sa bago nya.
Parang ang hirap ng situation namin, my mom choosing her man, over her daughter.
I called lola and began to cry like a baby. "Apo? Gusto mo bang dito mag Noche Buena sa bahay?" She asked
"No lola i just need someone to cry on, nakakainis na si Mommy and im sorry with that, mas pinili nyang mag celebrate kasama yung lalake nya kesa saken" i said
"Halika na dito apo, dito kana lang mag celebrate" lola said
"No na lola, dito na lang ako sa bahay, pero papauwiin ko yung mga yaya st ilang guards, i know the feeling kung pano mag celebrate ng walang nanay at tatay" i said
"Apo?" Lola uttered
"It's okay Lala, merry Christmas see you tomorrow i love you" sambit ko
"See you" sambit ni Lala
I jusy end the call and pinauwe ko na yung mga kasambahay after they eat. Naiwan lang yung isang body guard ko at isang driver. Yung dalawang katulong namin is taga Ilocos so after birthday ko pa sila babalik, yung dalawa naman taga bulacan, st yung dalawa ay taga cavite.
Yung driver na naiwan at yung body guard eh mag tatay naman kaya bukas na daw sila uuwe.
Umakyat na ako sa taas at nag muni muni while scrolling on my facebook. I saw a lot of posts about their Christmas having their own family.
I am so happy seeing my cousins having their own family. Kuya Michael, Kuya Borgy, kuya Matthew, they're completely celebrating their Noche Buena in Ilocos. Papa Bonget and his family is in Baguio.
Lala and her friends are celebrating in leyte. Mag kikita kita na lang kami bukas.
But the sad thing is, i am left here, home alone without anyone. While my Mom is having fun with his new boyfriend and dad is having fun with Clyde and cindy.
My life was so Unfair...
