VIDA
A week ago, I just freaking saw my mom being kissed by her ex-husband, Tito Tommy, like, What the? There are so many things that ran through my head the moment I saw him hug my mother after their kiss, and he even said, 'I love you," to my mom. Are they going back together? Will I and my brothers have a complete and happy family even though he's not my real father? Oh God, help my mind!
" Vida... " I whipped my head around when Mama called.
Due to my kidnapping, our planned family outing after my mother's inauguration was a complete failure. So, Papa Bong organized a family outing and It was a very private one and It's outside our country.
" Still avoiding Tito Tommy? I told you Ma, okay lang sa akin if magkakabalikan kayong dalawa. " kasama kasi namin si Tito Tommy dahil inaya ko, aayaw pa nga sana si Mommy kaso wala din siyang palag sa akin
" You are mistaken, Anak. Because of his drunkenness, he is incapable of controlling his actions or words that night. " I hear Mom said in her unusual low voice
" Mas nakakapag sabi ng totoo ang lasing, Mommy. " I said bago ako lumakad papunta sa seaside
" Vida! " mahinang sigaw ni Mommy
" Tell me Ma, do you still love him? Is there any chance that you get back together? " I asked
" No, Anak. And there is no chance. It's been over two decade already and we're good without each other. " Mom said before she stood beside me
" Aww. I understand, Mama. " I nodded before I ask her again
" But, I do have a question Mommy. "
" Wag lang Math anak, please. " she chuckled
" Is it okay if maging Daddy ko si Tito Tommy? He is so nice to me naman and he treated me like his own daughter. " I bowed my head down para umiwas sa tingin ni Mommy
" Does it mean that you'll spend more time with him than I do? That I'll get less of your attention? " Mom asked that made me look at her
" Mama! Of course not! It's just that I haven't had the experience of having a father since I was a child, and I'm envious of my kuyas because they have their father. I just want to experience it too. " I bowed down again
" Your Papa Bong is there naman eh. Isn't he enough? " she said, and I immediately stood up.
" Ma, iba yun! I love Papa so much pero he has his own kids too. " I said as I kick the sand
" Anak— " hindi natapos ni Mommy yung sasabihin niya nung may narinig kaming sigaw malapit sa amin
" Help! Help! Oh, god, Claire, wake up! " A girl shouted as she dragged her friend from the ocean and started to do a CPR
Hindi naman ako nag hesitate na tumakbo at lumapit sa kanila dahil narin mali yung ginagawa niyang CPR
" Hey, I can help, I'm a doctor. Can you tell me what happened? " I asked and asked her to stop para ma-check ko yuung babae
" W-we we're swimming when s-she had a cramps and then the last thing I know, she was already under me. " she panickily said
She then started crying and Mom made an effort to console her while I examined her friend. As I realized that seaweed was clogging her airway, I immediately removed it and kept performing CPR on her. This instantly worked, and she was able to let go of the water she had ingested.
" Claire! " the girl shouted and hugged her friend
" Oh, I feared that I would lose you. She came to assist me, which is grateful. " the girl pointed me
