"Did you pack your things already for next week?", He asked. We're having a video call right now since its weekend and gusto muna namin mag rest today sa bahay.

I shook my head as a no while staring at the screen, "Not yet, I'll do it later tinatamad pa ako eh".

He chuckled, "Yeah, okay. Is Kuya Eashan and Kuya Ethan coming with you and Tita Tiffany?"

"Nope, they said nagsawa na daw sila sa France and they're planning to have outings with their own squad", I said.

"Oh thats good, they'll have good breaks too. Anyways are you excited?", he asked while smiling softly.

I nodded, "Yeah pero I feel nervous kahit na lagi naman akong nagmomodel dati, its been a while din kasi eh".

"Kaya mo yan, you modelling my Mom's beautiful designs is an art for me", he encouraged and complimented me.

"Thank you", I smiled.

"Did you eat your lunch?", he asked and I nodded.

"Yes I did, how about you?", pagbalik ko ng tanong sakanya.

"Yeah I did, don't skip any of your meals okay? mabilis ka pa naman mahilo minsan tsaka sobrang init ngayon drink a lot of water", he reminded me.

I laugh softly he's so caring, "Yes po, I will"

He smirked and nodded, "Okay po"

I went downstairs after video calling with Dominic. I saw my Mommy crocheting in the living room, I smiled and approached her hugging her gently.

"Mommy", I softly said.

She smiled softly and stopped what she was doing and hugged me as well, "Hi my pretty princess, you okay?".

"Yes po, Mommy. I just want a hug.", I smiled at her.

She kissed my forehead, "Ang sweet naman ng baby ko, are you excited for next week?"

I nodded, "Yes po, I'm excited na. I'm a bit nervous pero I know I can do it, I've been Tita Joanna's model for years and everything's perfect."

She smiled and nodded, "I know, pretty. I'm so proud of you agad, princess ko."

"Mommy, si Daddy po? when is he coming home? masyado na po ata siyang matagal sa Spain", I said.

I saw how my Mom's smile faded and she looked nervous and hurt.

"Mom, is something wrong?", I asked.

"N-n-nothing, anak", she smiled. "Your Dad is just really busy", dagdag niya.

I scoffed, "I don't think so, Ma. He doesn't even contact us anymore, di niya man nga tayo makamusta eh."

"Maybe he's just really busy, anak, sige na stop worrying much." she kissed my forehead and gave me a comforting smile, but I can tell she's lying. 

I'm sure may ginagawa si Daddy na disappointing especially he's not contacting us for a month already, ang tagal niya pang bumalik. Nakakapagtaka na nakakainis naman kasi talaga siya, whenever I message him minsan he'll just leave me on read or minsan konting reply lang like "im fine" tsaka "ok" di man lang kami makamusta, pero makikita ko sa mga posts niya lagi ka-party at ka-celebrate mga business partners niya. He's busy? Its all about work? Talaga lang? I don't think so.

I went to the pool area and relaxed while scrolling on my laptop. Namimiss ko na si Dominic huhu.
