"MOMMY? Can I ask a favor? Just this time. Please... let me do this one."
Karl is now waiting for me, I texted him that we should meet this time since it is very important for me, for him, and for us.
Simula no'ng nalaman ni Mommy ang tungkol sa aming dalawa ay hindi na kami nagkita pa, we became a couple with a long distance relationship.
"Ano ba 'yun, anak?" Daddy answered with a question.
One thing that satisfied me in my whole life is that Daddy is now living with us, he's now accompanying Mommy in every aspects.
But I also can't help to think that Daddy's comeback is a bit late.
"Me and Karl are going to meet right now."
"Au—"
"I know, Mommy. I heard you when you said that it is a bad idea for me to be attached on someone right now, because time will come it might be hard for me to let go, right? But please... I know what I am doing, even just for the last time, hayaan mo akong makita ulit si Karl," I pleased.
"Lauren, just let them do this, at isa pa, I know that Augustine knew already all the risk of doing something."
"Alam niyo, wala naman akong hadlang kung magkita kayong dalawa ni Karl, ang sa akin lang, hindi natin alam ang takbo ng panahon, who knows what might happen on Augustine paglabas niya ng bahay? Who knows kung anong mangyari sa'yo habang wala kami ng Daddy mo para malaman 'yun lahat?"
This is the downside. I can't and we can't help to worry about my condition in every single thing I do, she's right, no one knows kung kailan babalik 'yung nangyari sa akin noong mga nakaraang araw, and the worst is that... no one knows when am I going to die.
"Karl is there, Mommy, I trust him and I want you to trust him also. Don't worry, in case I feel something off, I will call you right away or at least I'll tell Karl to call you in case I can't." It's still an unsure assurance.
"Lauren..." Daddy said and gave Mommy a nod.
"Fine, but please... take care of yourself, Augustine, and please keep your promise that you will call us if anything happens, okay?" she said as she walks her feet to give me a warm embrace, making me feel that she is concern with me.
"Don't worry, Mommy, I will." I hugged her back before saying goodbye and leave the house.
I think I should be more careful with my farewell right now, again, no one can tell the time and who knows if my farewell will be my last goodbye to everyone.
Another thing that makes my life more better now is my relationship with Mommy, I learnt how to understand her side as well her. It feels just like an treated wound when you already gave solution to your problem in the past, because all I've done ever since I discovered everything is to understand what she is doing all the time, for me, for my health, and for my life.
