Heartlines of Time [Celestia Series #1]

XIX - 19

After seeing Enzo for the first time in 7 years we haven't seen or in touch with each other, I'm so happy knowing he already achieve his dreams that I know pinaghirapan niya. The best decision I made that dawn when he left me ay yung hindi ko siya hinabol at pinilit pa ang sarili ko, he told me I'm a hindrance to his dream, tama lang ang ginawa ko for his own good.

I have a flight back to US mamayang hapon, I have a big fashion show to attend kaya hindi pwedeng wala ako.

"Dad, you sure your ok na?? I'm going back to US na later." I said as I hold my dad's hand. He just smile at me and nod.

"I don't want to go now" naiiyak na sabi ko, Dad looks so pale at habang tumatagal lalo siyang pumapayat. Nakikita ko kung gaano niya nilalabanan ang sakit.

"I'm fine now, go make the best walk in that show. We will be watching you live"

"As always dad, I'm doing this for you! So be proud of me and heal faster ok??" I said and hug him. I look in my mom's direction and she is crying silently, she looks worried and bothered that I can't explain. After hugging my Dad, pumunta ako kay mom at yumakap sa kanya.

"I'll be back as soon as I can mom, please take care. Both of you!" I said.

I can feel that the door suddenly open,and iniluwa nun si Kuya Archer.

"Hey, what's the drama?" he jokingly said. I rolled my eyes at him, wala talagang pinagbago ang gago, napaka immature parin.

"Kuya, you should always visit here ok? Wag kang chixx ng chixx!" Pag papaalala ko sa kanya.

"Ofcourse naman Aquila, ako na bahala sa kanila! Kaya ko na to, ako pa!" He proudly said na mas ikinairita ko.

"Well you know what kuya? Whatever?"

He just laugh and hug me.

"Take care Aquila, balik ka kaagad if may oras ka" ngayon mas naging seryoso na ang boses niya. Are they hiding something from me?? They look so bothered and ang plastic ng mga ngiti. Mag tatanong na sana ako when we hear a knock.

"Come in" Mom said.

The door open and it's Enzo, he look at me for a minute then look to my mom and dad. Since I finish saying my goodbyes to my family, I excuse myself kasi mag iimpake pa ako ng mga gamit.

"Mom, Dad, Kuya! I'll go ahead na, I will just fix my things and before I go back to the US, dadaan muna ako dito" I said and wave my hand. But I was stunned when Enzo speak.

"Why are you leaving when your dad is still in the hospital? Is your modelling important than your family?" he looks annoyed na hindi ko maipaliwanag kung bakit.

"Doc, it's ok! Babalik rin naman yang anak ko." My mom was also shock but try to calm him down.

"Dude, it's family matter! Don't be such a boomer!" Kuya said na naguguluhan rin sa inaasta ni Enzo while my dad remain silent.

"I'm sorry" Enzo said and go back in checking my dad. I waited until matapos siya.

"Let's talk!" I firmly said, sabay naman lumingon silang apat sa akin. Enzo pointed himself asking if siya ba ang tinutukoy ko, I nod at naunang lumabas sa kanya.

Naglakad ako papuntang wide terrace ng hospital, it has two chairs and one coffee table. I sit there and Enzo remain standing.

"Why don't you have a seat?" I offer him the other chair, but he never said anything nor bother to look at me.

"Why did you say that?" I ask, looking at him.

"Say what?"

Lumubo yung mukha ko and blow some air bago magsalita ulit.
