Love That Will Last

chapter 93

tuloy na this....

"Gracie?" sambit ni mommy sabay pasok ng pinto. I was scrolling on my phone when she enters my room. I covered myself with my blanket and didn't respond on her call

"Gracie" sambit ulit ni mommy.

"Not now mom im not on my mood oh please" sambit ko

"Anak? I know nag tatampo ka kay mommy... "

"Hon, let her rest muna" daddy uttered

"Mommy? Ako na po" sambit ni kuya alfie

"Sure anak" sambit ni mommy

Naramdaman ko na tumayo na si Mommy mula sa kama ko at lumabas ng kwarto. Actually, i really wanted to hug her.

"Hey, grace?" Sambir ni kuya, agad naman akong bumangon para yakapin sya.

"Kuya..." Sambit ko

"Alam kong nag tatampo ka kay Mommy, alam ko din na nasasaktan ka kasi hindi sya nakarating and its valid... Hindi ko pwedeng sabihin na mali yang nararamdaman mo cause hindi ako nakakaexperience nyan"

"But please, try to understand mom.. Pero bago ko ituloy to, may i know how you feel?" Tanong ni kuya

"Naiinis ako, nag tatampo ako, nagagalit ako because it was really an important event on my life kuya, FAMILY DAY, minsan na lang tayo mag karoon ng family day hindi pa sya dumating... Kuya i am not asking for anything only her presence, her presence is all i need bakit hindi nya ba naiintindihan yun? Ilang beses na ilang gabi na when i am trying to make lambing sa kanya she always said that she's busy, busy, busy.. I am not asking for any material things, i am not asking for a wealthy family, i am only asking for my mom's presence bakit di ibigay yon? Kuya... I know i sound immature but, kuya? Sana naiintindihan mo ako" sambit ko and right after, i burst into tears

"Ye-yes i understand you... Per-pero... She did what she needs to do her job as mom to provide things that you need, that you want" kuya said

"But i don't ask for it" sambit ko

"Grace? I want you to imagine this things.. For example ikaw si mommy, at anak mo kami... Anong gagawin mo to make your children happy?" Tanong ni kuya

"I.. I will provide the things they need" sambit ko

"See...~"

"But i will make sure that I will be giving you enough attention and you will be having my presence without asking for it.. Because as far as i know, it is mom's job.. To make their children live their life comfortable, with their mom's presence and attention" i said

"Gracie..."

"Kuya" sambit ko

"Alfonso? Gracie was... Right for somehow" sambit ni mama

"Kanina ka pa dyan mama?" Tanong ko

"Yeah" sambit nya

"I've been a single mom for a long time... And i provide all things to make my children comfortable, and i asked them, what they want, what they need... The things that they only need was, my presence and my attention.. It is the only thing that can make them happy" sambit ni mama

"See kuya, kahit naman ikaw nung bata ka alam kong gusto mo din ng attention ni mommy" sambit ko

"Fine, but Grace.. Tell her everything ha" sambit ni kuya

"You na" sambit ko

"Okay just take a rest" sambit ni kuys and give me a forehead kiss before leaving my room

Totoo naman diba? May mga bagay na hindi natin hinihingi pero binibigay ng parents natin, but we appreciate that. Pero may mga bagay na kelangan natin pero hindi natin masabi, like their attention and their presence.
