ZELLA'S POV

It's been two months since Eyah and I became okay. We've been more intimate than before. Thea and Nev told me that I've changed so much. It was like the ice in me had melted and it was all because of Eyah.

May mga natutunan din ako sa pag aaway namin tulad nalang ng dapat makinig muna sa bawat side ng isa. We shouldn't really jump in conclusion because of the outcome would be worse. We should learn how to listen before we act. We should learn how to understand before we conclude.

"Oh, I almost forgot. You will be going back to the new zealand next month. Your grandma needs a family who will take good care of her. You know that she's been diagnosed with alzheimer's disease lately, right?" Napatigil ako sa ginagawa ko ng marinig ang sinabi ni mommy Seren. She's referring to grandma Jennifer, her mother.

I'm going back to new zealand next month?

Why me? How about Eyah? I can't leave her. I don't want to leave her. I don't know what life can be when I'm far away from my happiness.

But then, grandma Jennifer need me. I can't simply neglect her for my own selfish needs. She's ill and she needs family to be by her side.

"How about my sisters?" I asked.

Nagkatinginan sila bago binalik ang tingin sa akin at napabuntong hininga.

"They didn't know about this." Moma answered

"Why? Bawal ba sila yung ipadala sa new zealand?" I heaved a deep sighed. "Can't I stay here?"

"Aware ka naman na ikaw ang gusto ng grandma mo na magnama ng mga company nila."

"But mommy–"

"Zel please understand them."

"Okay." I agreed, feeling defeated.

Family comes first. That's how it goes for me even I it means self-deprivation.

But what will happen to us? How about me? How about my happiness? Ngayon ko nalang pipiliin ang sarili ko pero ganito pa pala ang mangyayari. Para akong isang robot na sumusunod sa lahat ng kagustuhan nila.

I can do whatever I want to do pero lahat may limitasyon. Hindi ako si Zei na special sa lahat. Hindi ako si Zen para magawa at makuha lahat ng gusto kahit anong oras.

I'm Zella Serene, na sumusunod sa kagustuhan ng parents ko, ni grandma and grandpa at ni daddylo. I need to protect my family kahit ako na ang nasasaktan.

Simula bata ako natanggalan na ako ng kasiyahan dahil mas pinili ko ang gusto nila grandma kaysa sa kagustuhan ko.

Hindi ako nagsisisi sa lahat ng mga ginagawa ko. But I want to ask, is it this even my life?

donkEYAH
Come out. I'm here.

After three minutes, I saw Eyah running towards tha gate. When she went out, I immediately hugged her.

I really can't leave her. Not when she's the reason why I changed so much. Not when she's keeping a good grip of my heart.

"Okay ka lang? Higpit ng yakap mo na parang ayaw mo na akong pakawalan, ah." Eyah said while laughing

"I'm sorry." I responded as I pull myself away from her. Her smiling face was immediately covered with worry. Naging mapagtanong din ang mga mata niya.

"Zel, why are you crying?" Naglakad siya palapit sa akin at pinunasan ang luha ko. I didn't even realize that I was already crying.

"May sasabihin ako sayo."

"Ano iyon? Makikinig ako."

"Next month...."

"Hmm?"

"I'll be leaving the country....for good. It's my mommy decision. And I think there's no way that I can convince her to make stay here." Eyah was staring at me na parang inaaral nito ang mukha ko.

"I can't imagine myself without you. You spoiled me with your love, our presence, your hugs, your kisses, and now I'm depending too much on you. I've never felt this happy and no one can ever make me feel like this except you." Eyah pulled me in a hug.

"Shhhh. You're silly. Yun ba ang dahilan kaya umiiyak ka? You were afraid to leave me? Saan ka ba pupunta?"

"New zealand."

"New zealand lang pala. Pwede naman akong pumunta doon, ah. Pupunta ako kahit kailan mo gusto. Kung gusto mong makita ako pupuntahan kita." She smiled.

Eyah is really great at comforting me. She's right. We can visit each other when we have time.

"Meron pa naman tayong 1 month, eh. Gawin natin mga gusto nating gawin. Wag mo na muna isipin ang pag alis mo, hmm?"

"Ang bilis lang ng araw niyan." I complained as I hugged her tighter.

"Then we will make it the longest months of our lives."
