Chapter 36 He will be back

Chapter 36

Fatima Mae's POV

"P-pads," garalgal ang tinig na sambit ko. "I-i need you here. It's about d-dad..he's sick."

Nakayakap sakin si Mommy habang umiiyak. Kelangan ako ni Mommy. My family needs me so I need to be strong and brave. Pero kelangan ko rin ng karamay at si Pads, lang ang meron ako. Siya lang ang masasandalan ko sa ganitong sitwasyon. Kaya kahit alam ko na malabo siyang umuwi rito sa Philippines, I still tried my best.The line ended.

Kumalas si Mommy sa pagkakayakap sa likod ko. "What did he say?"

"He will try his best." niyakap ko si Mommy. "We need to be strong for Dad." matatag ang loob na sambit ko.

Last week lang biglang inatake sa puso ang Daddy niya. I thought thay everything will be fine, things are gonna get better. But then bigla siyang nagkaroon ng second heart attack and that's what put him in a a critical condition. I don't have close friends here. All my friends are in the States."We can do it Mom, I will be here. Don't be afraid because Dad will be better. Let's just pray.." para ko na ring sinasabi sa sarili ko ang mga salitang yun.Kung kelan na nag-uumpisa na akong mag manage ng business namin tsaka pa nangyari sa kanya 'to.

Life is full of surprises.Hinaplos ko ang likod ni Mommy.

Only God can help us at times like this. So please hear me out dear God. I don't know what to do without my Dad.Please, help us! Give me hope and strength. I know everything happens for a reason.

Wency's POV

"Sungit, darating na siya." inform ko sa kanya habang naglalakad kami papunta sa park.

"The who?" she asked while holding my hand. How I wish this was forever.

"The one that got away," logical kong sagot.

"Who? Katy Perry?" she guessed. Napa-smirk ako sabay iling.

"My runaway brother will be back.""Oh?! Talaga?" I expected that reaction from her. We've been through a lot since Alvenn left.Simpleng tumango lang ako. Nagpatuloy kami sa pagbaybay sa daan.

"Bakit? Akala ko ba sabi mo sakin he will be staying wherever he is, for good. He will never be back. He never wants to lay his foot here."

"I thought so too. Ayun naman kasi talaga ang sinabi sakin dati ni Tita eh. But last night I visited her and that's what she said."

"After four or has it been five years already? Time flies so fast. Sa tingin mo magkakabalikan pa sila ni Ate?" tanong ni Lyra. "Grabe! Hindi ako makapaniwala.."

"Dunno." tipid tugon ko. I wanted to tell her the reason why Alvenn is coming..but I guess it's better not to. "I think it will be okay kung hindi na muna malalaman ni PJ." dagdag ko pa.

Nag-arko ang kilay niya sakin. "Huh? Bakit naman? Alam ko hindi maganda ang nangyari sa kanila. Pero alam ko rin na si Ate..siya pa rin eh."

"Exactly my point. Things had happened. Sobrang dami ng nangyari at nagbago. May career na iniingatan ang Ate mo. Kakagaling niya lang sa sakit. I think it's best not to." I just don't want her to be hurt. I don't want to see her being miserable again. I've been there, we've seen her cry and go crazy because of him.Hinawakan ko ang balikat niya at iniharap sakin. "Just trust me. Okay?"

"Alam mo ang labo mo eh, sana hindi mo na lang sinabi sakin na babalik na siya. Ano sa tingin mo ang mararamdaman ko pag nakita ko si Ate? She has been waiting for him. Now he's coming..hindi ko manlang pwedeng sabihin? Hindi ba mas okay kung magkakausap na sila agad. Kung maayos eh di okay. Kung hindi eh di hindi. Ganon lang yun!" nag-walk-out siya at naiwan akong mag-isa. Napapadyak ako sa frustrations.

"Paano ko ba sasabihin sayo na bumalik siya para sa ibang babae?" bulong ko sa hangin.
