Hi, Mr. Sungit" this was the last words i said before things just got worst........
"Let's focus on our project Mr. Camerino" sabi ni Xavier
Those words, were as cold as ice.
Baka naman may problem lang siya kaya ganyan, tanungin ko nga...
"O-okay ka lang ba---"
"Asaan na yung RRL na hinihingi ko?" Sabi niya
"A-ah, wait ito na sending na---"
Grabe, I've never seen his side of him.... And why is it affecting me so badly?
"Mr. Camerino, RRL ba to? Or ginagawa mo lang akong tanga?"
"S-sorry"
"Pwede bang---Ugh, nevermind. Ako nalang tatapos nito, umuwi kana."
Bigla nalang niyang kinuha yung gamit niya saka umalis, grabe, baka nga may problem lang talaga siya, pero bakit parang ang sikip ng dibdib ko, parang di ako makagalaw sa inuupuan ko, hindi ko nga alam kung anong gagawin ko, aalis nalang rin ba ako or mag-s-stay nalang ako dito
*Biglang bumuhos yung ulan*
Nako, wala pa naman akong payong, nakakainis naman---
Nagulat nalang ako ng bigla nalang may luha sa pisngi ko
"Ano ba naman yan Cai, okay lang yan, may pinagdadaanan lang siya" agad kong pinunasan yung mukha ko at lumabas na nga
Sinuot ko na muna yung headset ko bago ako umalis ng coffee shop...
(Playing Ulan by Cueshé)
Lagi nalang umuulan..
Parang walang katapusan
Tulad ng paghihirap ko ngayon
Parang walang humpay
Sa kabila ng lahat ng aking pagsisikap
Na limutin ka
Ay di pa rin magawa..
Paglabas ko ay hindi ko rin inaasahan na may magpapayong sa'kin....

Xavier's POV:
"Dad, I can't believe you forgot to pick up Mom from her appointment again!"
May sakit kasi si Mama, unknown pa yung sakit niya as of now pero sobra siyang naghihina from time to time
"I had an important meeting, Xavier. Your mom can handle herself." Dad said
"But she's been feeling weak lately, and you promised to be there for her!"
"It's okay, Xavier. Your father had work to do." Mom replied
"Mom, you always defend him! He's never around when we need him."
"Xavier, please, he's doing his best." Mom said
"His best? His best is never being here when you need him most!"
"Watch your tone Xavier, busy nga ako nung time na yun, can't you comprehend what i said?."
"You know what, Dad? I'm tired of this. I'm tired of covering for you, tired of seeing Mom struggle while you're off doing who knows what."
"Xavier, stop. Your father loves us in his own way." Mom replied
"Love? If this is love, then I don't want any part of it. I'll take care of Mom myself."
"You can't talk to me like that, Xavier!" Dad angrily said
"Watch me, Dad. I'll be the man in this family that you never were."
