my honeybunch sugarplum:

What did you want to talk about?

Miara:

hmm sige na nga

pwedeng dito na lang?

my honeybunch sugarplum:

Why? I'll come to you.

Miara:

dito na lang siguro muna? Baka umurong dila ko kapag magkaharap na tayo hehe

my honeybunch sugarplum:

Alright. I'm all ears. (Or eyes, whichever works)

Miara:

Hala gagi pano ba to

Umurong dila ko. (Or kamay ko, whichever works)

Huhu teka pero seryoso

Ano kasi

Uhmm

Huhu

May napansin ako

Are you okay?

Like, in all honesty, Primo.

I won't lie but this feels weird for me. Mas sanay akong manahimik kaso hindi rin ako mapakali.

I'm a bit worried, tbh.

I don't want to assume rin na there's something wrong kasi baka mag-overthink ka or ano pero wala lang

Haha ano ba to gagi

Puntahan na lang kita diyan heheh

my honeybunch sugarplum:

My parents are divorcing.

It's okay, you don't have to say anything.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. I honestly didn't know how to tell this to you as well. It's not like it's some fantastic news that I'm eager to share but yeah... thanks for asking.

Do you want to meet up? Or are you comfortable this way?

I have something to tell you too.

Miara:

Whichever works for you, pogi :)

But don't force yourself to tell if you're still not comfortable. Take your time, Primo.

Kung gusto mo munang sarilihin, walang problema. Pero kung gusto mo ng makakausap, nandito lang din naman ako.

Give yourself time, okay? I trust you.

my honeybunch sugarplum:

I appreciate that but I'm still gonna have to share these to you, right? Why prolong this when I know that your pretty mind is already racing and coming up with theories already.

But here you go.

I've been having some disturbing thoughts lately.

This whole situation with my parents isn't easy, especially that it came as a surprise. And although I appreciate their trust, handling most of the legal matters by myself is starting to wear me down.

They want a clean separation, you see. But they also don't want to involve themselves in the nitty-gritty process. I have to handle their PR teams, like what they'll tell the media and which information to share.

I am tasked to divide their assets and properties and I'm not even a damn lawyer. Like... how the fuck am I supposed to know which of my siblings get to have our rest house in Batangas? They're having a divorce yet it feels like I'm deciding for their last will and testament.

Damn

I'm sorry for ranting.

Miara:

Hindiiiii

Okay lang

Ipalabas mo lang

I'm here, okay? I don't mind the fucks and the damns :)

Just let everything out, please?

my honeybunch sugarplum:

Well that's 1/2 of what I want to tell you.

But idk. It's just that all these additional responsibilities feel too much and I couldn't help but feel robbed of the chance to actually process everything.

Like... my parents are divorcing yet all my mind and energy is devoted to talking to their lawyers and making sure their assets are divided equally.

I don't mean to be overly sentimental but I could really use some time to process all of these. But I obviously can't because I still have to act as their mediator and lawyer.

Miara:

nandito ako sa labas ng kwarto mo

open the door, please?

hug kita
