Tina POV
Bunchoy has been bugging us, the whole day about the dinner that will be held in our house. She was so excited the whole entire day and couldn't wait. Well I won't blame her as we never really let her go to her friends house for dinner or have someone come over. Because of her health condition which is making me feel bad. Kasi she don't get to experience those.
Pero as her mother, I'll rather not her experience those than taking a risk of her health. Nanay ako. Alam ko ang makakabuti para sa mga anak ko.
"Mama isn't time na?" is the most repeated question my daughter asked me.
"Not yet pa anak. Sleep muna ikaw?" I answered her causing her to frown.
"Ayaw ko pa po mag sleep, Ma. Kasi pano pag gising ko umuwi na sila?" she ranted. Haynaku.
"Gigisingin kita, anak. Papunta palang kasi ang tita at tito mo. Dalawang oras po byahe nak eh papunta sakanila to satin." I said trying to convince her. Pano ang daming binake may brownies, Banana Bread, at cookies pa siya. Nag luto pa siya.
"Ohhhkay." she shortly answered.
"Ma! Wake me up ha!" she shouted as she goes to her room.
"Opo!" I yelled back.
"Mahal? Wala kabang napapansin kanila Irene?" I asked my husband who was busy preparing the table.
"Anong ibig mong sabihin mahal?" he asked innocently.
"It's just parang may something. Parang may mali mahal eh." I honestly told my husband what I felt.
"Hey. Stop overthinking na. Hmm? They're our good friends. Alam mo mahal, If ever something happens to me I'm pretty sure they'll be the first one to be running on their way to us para tumulong." he said that made me weird out.
"Ayan ka na naman sa ganyan ganyan, mahal. Hindi ka pwedeng mauna. Ako dapat kasi pano ang mga bata pag lumala na ang sakit ko?" I said almost whispering as I wiped my tears that keep coming.
I've been crying lately and I know sometimes the kids sees it. So I try so hard not to show it that much because I know how they worry about mez
But when I say something is wrong. I meant something is wrong. I just couldn't pinpoint what the heck it is but I do not like this kind of feeling.
"Ako ang mauuna. Kasi pag ako nauna may mga kasama pa ang mga bata. Pero pag ikaw ang mawawala. Parang na din silang nawalan nang ama at ina. Kasi we both know naman na hindi na ako mag tatagal." I explained to him which I know he's not listening as he doesn't like this kind of topic.
Irene POV
As we are on our way to Tina's place I couldn't help but to smile genuinely due to the fact I'll get to see my daughter again.
"Hon, sa tingin mo enough na ba lahat nang dala nating pasalubong para kay Ella? Mga anak magugustohan kaya yun nang ading niyo?" tanong ko sa mag aama ko.
"I think it's too much, hon. Baka makahalata sina Lucio eh." He said scratching his head while looking to our sons who were seated on the backseat.
"Mga kuya?" I asked my sons.
"Daddy is right mom. Hindi natin siya pwedeng biglain." Alfonso said defending his father.
"Ella doesn't want those things din naman. She's not materialistic gaya nang iniisip mo, niyo." Luis added.
"Mali bang ibigay ko sa anak ko - na kapatid niyo at anak mo din Greggy, ang mga bagay na kailangan niya? Mali ba yun? Kung kayo nakakayaya niyong tinnan si Ella nang ganun kasama sina Tina. Pwes ako hindi. Masakit sakin sobra. Na hindi niya man lang ako tayo maalala." I burst out to them.
