"Sige nga,babaeta ka,bakit hindi ka pumasok kaninang Umaga?huh?sagot!"I just got arrived and ea won't stop blabbering.
"Ea,I got headached so I rest" I lied and act like it still hurt,I touch my head and massage like it was really hurt.
"Ayan na nga ang sinasabi ko,you over work your self again,sabi sayo focus on your study so you will get a credentials that would help you to study with scholarship so that you won't experience a suffering like this,in the future."
"Oo na po,"I mocked
"Dyan kana nga,nanggigigil ako sayo!"
I laughed and chased her"seryoso mo naman,para yun lang sensitive"I held her arm and lay my head on her
"Sorry na."
"Hmmm!"she push me so I went away on her
"Jowa ba kita?kung makatampo naman to wagas!"
She went on her sitting chair,and our FABM teacher came,so I sat on my chair and listen to his discussion.
After that hindi parin ako pinapansin ni ea.
"Abnormal ata yun, sensitive masyado"
Without her I went home and I found that our house were burning,the fire went wild and I stilled that I couldn't say anything,I force my self to move but my feet couldn't,how pitiful, where's my family,where are they?
"Andrea!"si mama, she was crying and she embracing my brother,and went to me.
"Ma,bakit?...p-paano...a-ano nangyare bakit...bakit nasunog ang bahay natin?si papa? asan si papa?" I asked her with
Trembling hands I can't even cry,my hands went cold and I was praying that my theory was wrong.
"Ang Papa mo"she cried and my heart throbbed like it was stabbed with a million needles.
"Ma,ano nga?sabihin mo?"I ask her and she just embraces me,no this can't be true ,right?panaginip lang to,I smile while weeping,I hug my mother tight."ma,magsalita ka naman"she's crying and shaking her heads." I pushed her and look at her with pleading
"Aling tesa,padating na daw po ang mga bombero." Sabi ni anderson na kababata ko,natagpuan agad ni andy ang mga mata ko, kaya't nilapitan niya ako
"Shhhh"pag alo sakin ni anderson"diba masamang damo si mang jerry,hindi yun mamamatay."
"Ander naman e,nagbibiro ka pa"umiiyak kong ani "hindi to pwedi, ayaw ko,kahit na naiinis ako minsan sa kanya ayaw kong mawala siya,ayaw kong mawalan ng papa hindi ko kaya,kahit na naiinis ako dahil feeling ko mas priority niya mga barkada niya kaysa samin at...di man lang ako nabigyan pagkakataon na sabihin kung gaano ko siya kamahal...bilang papa ko."I breathe air I feel like I lost other pieces,I can't stop crying and my eyes were sore.
Pagkaraan ng ilang oras dumating na din sa wakas ang mga bumbero,mabilis silang kumilos at tumakbo para maposisyon ang mga hose then they turn on the power pump I don't really familiar with it,ilang kalat lang ng tubig ay natupok na ang nagaalab na apoy,nasali ang mga nasa likod marahil ay sa lakas ng hangin at na includes na din.
May mga pumasok para e check kung may katawan ba sa loob"sir, ang asawa ko"tanong ng mama ko sa isang bumbero"relax lang po kayo misis." Sabi ng fireman at tinap ang likod ni mama
Mabilis na lumabas ang mga rescuers and I inquired "sir,may nakita po ba kayo?"nag tagal ang tingin niya sakin at his looks familiar.
"I didn't seen anything there,I think wala po siya sa loob nung nangyare ang sunog."sabi nong rescuer
"Huh?"
Natulala ako so there is a chance na buhay si papa?Nabuhayan ako ng loob hanggang may narinig akong tumawag sa pangalan ko.
"Andy,anak!" I look at my back and there he is,he looks tipsy and like he just woke up, I'm crying with disbelief and run towards him.
"Papa ko."iyak ko like it was the most happiest moment that ever happen to me,he smells alcohol but It doesn't matter anymore, what's the matter is he's alive and kicking.
"Anyare asan mama mo?"kinutusan siya ng mga kabarkada niya
"Grabe ka pare,hindi mo nakikita yang bahay niyo?nasunog oh."sabi ni auncle jason
Doon lang nahimasmasan si papa"ano?paano nangyare ito?"
"Ukinnam,jerry matayak nga nasapa kinka" sigaw ni mama sa malayo,tumawa naman ang mga taong nandun
"Sorry,Nora ko"nakataas kamay ni papa na parang sumusuko
Niyakap ni mama si papa at umiyak yumakap na din ako,dahil feel ko lang,feel ko dito lang nagkalapit mga diwa at puso naming apat.
"Salamat sa diyos walang nangyare sainyong lahat."si mama
"Mabuti walang nangyare sainyong tatlo"si papa
"Pa saan ka ba nanggaling?"tanong ko while wiping my tears
Kumamot siya ng batok "nakatulog ako sa kubo doon sa bukid,nilasing kase ako ni pareng albert."Sabi niya
Pingot ang abot niya kay mama at kurot
"Awwww ko."he yells
