Totoo nga na time was passing quickly kapag nag e enjoy ka, were here now at the court waiting for Ainsleigh to finish their practice because they joined basketball for intrams. It's their last practice because it's inrams tomorrow. I was quietly sitting on the bench when someone sat beside me. It's Ice, nag pahinga na pala sila at kanina pa ako nakatulala sa kawalan.

"Ayos ka lang?." he worriedly asked.

I just nodded and gave him a sighed. I really can't help to get worried this past few days. Mom is not coming home, dad is nowhere to be found. Im so worried. Of course I tried to contact them but the their phone's are always busy. It's driving me insane.

In the past one week hindi man lang nag paramdam si Mom kahit na call or text, hindi pa nga kami ganon kaayos dahil hindi pa talaga namin napag uusapan ang mga problema. Si Dad din ay wala, hindi ko naman alam kung saan sila hahanapin, I also tried to go to their work pero busy daw sila at kung wala daw akong appointment ay hindi ko sila makakausap.

'what the fuck!.'

I let out a deep sigh and stand up, pauwi na din kasi kami at kanina pa ako tinatawag ng tatlo. Inaya lang akong manood ni Elle sa practice nila, I agreed dahil mag aalala lang ako sa parents ko kapag nag kulong ako sa kwarto.

"What is it Ai? Mind telling me what's on your mind?." I looked at his dark eyes, hindi alam kung paano mag sisimula o dapat bang sabihin sa kanya. But in the end, hindi ko din nagawang sabihin.

We're heading now on the parking lot, marami paring tanong sa utak ko pero hindi ko alam kung saan kukuha ng sagot, I also tried to call our relatives kung may balita ba sila sa magulang ko.

'im so tired of this setup'

Nasa waiting shed kami dahil hinihintay ko ang sundo ko, si Elle at si Ice ay kanina pa umalis, hindi man lang ako nakapag paalam ng maayos.

I felt his warm embrace on me, he even kissed me on the head before he let me get in the car. Our driver is already here, I'm just really pre-occupied and I just noticed it now. He looked so worried but I gave him a smile, I also said goodbye to him and told him to be careful when going home. When the car started, I leaned back tiredly in the seat, as my whole body weakened from a lot of thoughts.

thinking too much is draining me, my body is very tired even though I didn't even do anything. I feel like my head is spinning, it's too heavy for me to think too much.

Pumasok ako sa bahay at dumiretso sa kama, pagod na humiga at dinama ang malambot kong kama. Hindi ko din alam na makakatulog ako ng gabing 'yon. Pagka gising ko tuloy ay agad akong dumiretso sa cr para maligo, after kong maligo ay nag suot muna ako ng pambahay na damit dahil hindi naman ganon kaaga ang pasok.

I went downstairs to eat when I saw her preparing the food on the table, I excitedly jump to hug her, I really missed my mom.

"Where have you been?." I almost cry.

She hug me tight, I miss her warm hugs, namiss ko talaga siya. Tumawa pa siya ng bahagya dahil para akong batang nag mamaktol sa kanya. Lumuwag ang yakap namin at lumayo ako ng kaunti para pag masdan siya, naningkit pa ang mata ko dahil nakita ko siyang nakajacket at kapansin pansin din ang pamamayat nito.

"Are you eating pa ba?." medyo inis kong saad sa kanya.

She laughed again. "Of course, Aki. Medyo busy lang sa work kaya hindi ako nakakauwi. Im sorry, Anak." I smiled and hug her again.

"It's okay, I understand Mom." Masuyo naman ako nitong hinalikan sa ulo bago ako ayaing kumain, kung ano ano pa ang pinag usapan namin hanggang sa nag decide ako na mag bihis na.
