Laws in Love II: Spencer Ace

Chapter 21

“Don’t worry too much, Iha. You’ll be fine.” 

Tumingin ako kay Mama na maamong nakatingin sa akin. I smiled at her and nodded my head while looking at the view of the farm in front of us.

It’s been three days since he left. Hindi kami masyadong nakapag usap dahil nagpapahinga pa siya at inaasikaso ang mga gamit niya. Though we had a decent video call yesterday. 

Nakukulungan ako sa oras ng pag uusap namin pero ayokong mag demand. He is not just busy in his place and things but also with his papers. He needs to adapt to his new environment and with his schedule. Kapag naayos na siguro iyon ay mas magiging matagal na ang pag uusap namin.

He is also in his dorm with a roommate, and it is of course free. May allowance rin sila pero hindi iyon sapat kaya susupurtahan pa rin siya ng Mama niya. He is also eyeing to have a night work and currently he already has offered some, he just need choose what time is the most convenient to him

It's been three days and time has been so slow for me. Nagyaya rin si Kale kahapon pero tinanggihan ko dahil wala pa akong ganang lumabas.

“Be sure to wake up early tomorrow, bibiyahe tayo ng maaga.” Muli nitong paalala at tuluyan akong iniwan.

And next for our schedule, bibisitahin namin si Papa sa Maynila, hoping that it will kill most of my vacation time.

We travelled early the next morning and arrived in Manila after hours of travelling. Dumiretso kami sa bahay at sinalubong kami ni Papa.

It's been months since I have seen him and I miss him so much.

But it didn't end as well as I thought.

They had a constant fight within two weeks of staying there. Hindi rin ako halos lumabas ng bahay at sa huli ay gusto ko na lang bumalik ulit sa probinsya. 

Sana pala sinama ko na lang si Ate Wilma.

I already feel exhausted and seeing them fight everyday made me feel more exhausted even though I am very used to it.

We were supposed to stay for three weeks but Mom didn't want to, so we ended up staying there for two weeks only.

Ayaw kong ikwento kay Spencer ang mga bagay na iyon. Aside from the fact that he has many problems already, I do not want him to be burdened with my own issues too.

“Rest, Ms. Narvaez.” Marahan nitong paalala ng makarating kami sa bahay.

I smiled and nodded my head. 

Umaga sa amin at gabing-gabi na sa kanila pero marami pa siyang ginagawa. The time difference is quite a problem for us but we managed to schedule our call time which is the only thing that makes me happy these past few days.

Naging busy ako sa farm at sa enrollment kalaunan. Another year for me and I still have two more years in college before graduating. And for Spencer, he already started his studies one week ago, and as expected he became busier than I thought he would be.

“I can't call tomorrow, I have to make some progress with my cases. I’m sorry…”

I licked my lips and nodded my head. This is expected already.

Dumating ang pasukan at mas lalo ko lang siyang namimiss. Mas marami kaming naging oras dito sa school na magkasama kaysa sa labas at ngayong pasukan na ulit ay hindi ko mapigilan na isipin siya.

“Dinner tayo mamaya, libre ko! Sasama rin si Eros bago siya bumalik ng Maynila.” Kale enthusiastically informed me.

Tumango ako at ngumiti. Wala pa naman kaming masyadong ginagawa kaya pwede pa kaming magliwaliw kahit na kaunti.
