That Day When Our Hearts Met

Chapter Twelve

Nasa veranda si Julie habang pinapakain niya si Princess at kinakausap ito..

"Princess, satingin mo ba si Ivan si Black Angel? Satingin ko kasi, siya eh.." sambit ni Julie habang hinihimas himas niya ang ulo ng aso..

Hinatid ako ni Ivan kanina.. No words.. He just insisted.. Hindi siya nagsalita.. So do I... Hindi na ako nagtanong.. Gusto ko siya mismo ang magsabi sakin na siya si Black Angel.. Hinatid niya ako dito.. Nagpasalamat ako.. saka na siya umalis.. Pero bakit hindi niya suot yung jacket niya? Nakalimutan lang ba niya?

RING..RING..

"Si Mama!" Kaagad kong sinagot ang tawag ni Mama dahil may sasabihin rin ako sakanya..

"Hello Ma?"

"Hello my princess! How are you?"

"I'm good Ma.. Kayo po ni Papa?"

"We're also good anak.. Yung studies mo ha? Wag papabayaan.."

"I know Mom.."

"I've heard your friends do you a make over? So how was it?"

"It was great! Di na panget anak mo Ma! Hahaha." Then mom also chuckled.

"You're not ugly princess. You're beautiful inside and out.. Dati pa man.."

"Awww. Thanks Mom.."

"I love you sweetie.."

"I love you too Mom.. Siya nga po pala! Pwede po ba kayong umuwi this saturday?"

"Why sweetie?"

"Mom, kasama po kasi ako sa isang play in school.. Its not really a play pero magpeperform po ako in saturday.. I hope you could come.. I want you there Ma.." pumikit ako at nagcrossfingers.. Sana pumayag..

"Sweetie, We're sorry but I don't think we could make it.. Your dad and I will be busy this weekends.." napababa ako ng balikat at nagbuntonghininga.. I expected that answer tho..

"Okay Mom.."

"Don't be sad anak.. Para sayo naman itong ginagawa namin.. Just tell someone to video it for you ah? We'll watch you na lang.."

"Yeah.. Sure mom."

"Okay. Take Care sweetie. Mom loves you Princess!"

"Yes Mom. You take care also.. love you too.." I said as I ended the call.. I want to cry.. all I need is a lil bit of their time.. I understand naman that they're doing that for me.. Pero kasi... argh.

I just searched at my contacts and saw a draft number on it.. It's Ivan's number.. Maybe I should try texting him to give me some comfort.. After all, he's Black Angel.. and Black Angel is there to cheer me up..

"Hi." It takes 3 minutes for him to reply.

"Who's this?"

"It's Julie.. I need comfort.." this time, it only takes a minute for him to reply.

"Julie? What's your problem?"

"My parents weren't able to come on saturday. :("

"Why? Where are they?"

"They're in California right now.."

"You want them to watch you perform right?"
