Game Of Love

✴4: Memories Of the Past of Sadness and Love

EN'S  POV:
That went well, I better get some sleep before nighttime  comes. It was already  3:59  pm and I still got some few hours to sleep and then eat dinner  then dressed  up. Then my phone rang, and I realize  it was an unknown  number, I ignored the call then a text message  came up and it says.

09*********
How's your day and sleep?? ;-) Hey, thanks for the lunch it was delicious  though... Hey, you awake?? :@

I stared at the message  and I realize  it was Tyrone  who was texting  me. I bet he's  on his break that's  why he's  texting me, I sighed as I texted him back.

Me:
You're  Welcome... BTW, you woke me up, thanks for that. And now, I couldn't  get any sleep :$

Then after awhile he texted me again.

Tyrone:
Well, apologies  for waking you up!! :$ Maybe, I'll  text you later if you're  not in your mataray mode.. Bye!! :@

Well he got pissed off by that, poor little  guy. Then, Mitori was already  done at the shower  and he looks at me.
"I thought that you're  sleeping?", he asked me and I pretended that I woke up from my phone whose alarmed making me fell off the couch.
"Ouch!! What did you say bro?", I asked  him back as he helped me to get up and I lay down again on the  couch.
"When I get dressed you should be sleeping right  now, okay?", he told me as he went upstairs  to change clothes. I closed my eyes as I drifted off  to sleep

*Ringgggggggggggggggg!!!!*

My phone rang as I woke up by 6:59 pm and I mumbled on the pillow where I was laying  down, I get up from the couch and rubbed my eyes as I scratch my back and stood up stretching  my body as dinner was already  prepared by Mitori's girlfriend  which her name was Mandy Seiten and she was the most  beautiful  girl  that Mitori  found and met at the same office where he was working. She was also the girl who comforted me when grandpa  had passed away, man, that memory  is still fresh that I couldn't  even forget, the chill ran down through  my spine as I remember those days. You want flashbacks? I'll  show you the flashbacks...

August  04, 2015
Morning  came and us siblings were ready to go to school and while preparing  dad was all quiet all the time I wonder what happened?  Last night also he was still like that while he was texting mom, anyways back from the morning. When our service  has arrived I gave dad a kissed goodbye  before I go  and grab my bag, "Bye daddy, see you later!!", I said as I ride on my service.

Lunch time came, still I haven't eat my lunch when dad bought it, I was like that I lost my appetite because of something  awkward was happening when I  looked at the clock and started to packed up my lunch and went on to my next class. While on History Class, I was playing my pen while Ms. Sanchez was discussing our new lesson, then Goldie tapped my shoulder  as he told me that he saw my dad was outside and I got my face like, what?! Why is dad here?! , then the others started to mumble whenever  they see dad especially  the guys, then, the head of the school went inside  our class as she excused me and told me to get my hand book and I've  done it to get my handbook as dad was next to me. Mrs. Xioa signed as my excuse letter also, it says.

"Due to an important  family matter"
Time of leaving: 1:36 pm

Mrs. Xioa told me to packed my things and get going, Goldie and the others were confuse what am I doing even Ms. Sanchez.
"Ms. Silverio , what are you doing?", Ms. Sanchez asked me before I leave, I told her the reason and that made me excused me to her class. When I  got my bag and books putting over my locker  and dad looks at me with a very quiet look that I couldn't  even make him smile or smirk like Vin Diesel, even Jin wasn't  expecting  what was happening even Alisa was all  confuse all about this, while on the car, I meant  Sportivo, Jin asked first what was happening then dad replied.
"Ang tatay, dadalawin ntin sa ospital kaya uuwi tayo ngayon sa Marikina...", he told us then Jin sighed as he clutches  his fists.
"Oh my gosh, hindi  ko to gusto!!", he mumbled. While me  at the back well, quiet and nothing to say except for those two who wanted to know what was really happening, right from the start when I told dad to have myself absent for awhile the other day, while texting grandpa  that day he told me to be a good girl to mom and dad.. Don't  be a hard headed person to your parents. When we got home to change ourselves, mom called as dad hand the phone over to me as I answered mom, I knew it.. This was it... "Anak, isipin mo na happy na si Tatay na kasama na nya si Nanay... Anak, dba ang sbi sa yo ng tatay na maging strong ka at wag magiging  sad... D ba?", she told me that when I was still crying as Jin  notices me and he made a deep sighed and I heard him mumbled. I handed the phone to him as he started to hold his tears and faces away from me and Alisa, then, he hugged me after awhile as he gave the phone to Alisa to tell the same thing and then to dad. As we were all set and ready, at the car we were all quiet while listening  to music at the radio as Jin  was at the front with dad while Alisa on the second seat while me at the back as the provider of the water, medicines and chips if they get hungry, but at the back I was just listening to Japanese  songs especially  One Piece songs to make myself  a little  happy  along the way, but along the way Jade keeps texting me. (Jade is a special  guy that lives  next door the assistant  of Gem Ryou of their Sari sari store, my sleepy  classmate guy that Lili Aisaka likes him a lot) while on the road I was still quiet as dad looks over me at the mirror and I notice  him and he tries to make me smile.
"You okay sweety?", he asked me and I smiled slightly and get something  from the bag. When we got to EDSA it was a heavy traffic  from left to right, the next road going to Pasay, then Jin started to react that there's  no way that we could make it to grandfather's  cremation, then dad made a shortcut and we got through away the traffic. We were almost near Marikina  River Banks and Jin started  to call mom that we were almost there, then, we prepared  ourselves  especially  me and Alisa whose combing her hair  while me putting  some powder on my face as we got to the entrance  of Loyola  Memorial  Park and Crematorium, I helped dad to tell the guard what we were finding and I told dad grandfather's whole name, then  the guard told us where the Cremation was being held, when we got there, mom, approaches  us and there mom escorted  me inside the Crematorium  and with my cousin  Mitori who was behind me whenever  what will happen to me he'll  be there, when I saw the corpse  of  grandpa and there I suddenly cried and went over to his dead body and holds his hands and I sobbed as if this was not happening, mom and Mitori  tries to stop me from sobbing  and shouting from what am I  saying, even Jin and Alisa  couldn't get me in control. I tried to calm myself as I went to grandpa one last time, to take a look at him before  he puts him inside the oven to burn him, after that I  went to the  chapel next to the crematorium where I saw my Tia and tito German with there personal maid Kitty Scots and Jin's  uncle Johnny Wades  even my friends  from the Seventh  Day Adventist Church  were all  there even Mitori and Aoba's uncle. Everyone  was all there, as they couldn't  even not believe that our cheerful  and the one who brings laughter to us was already  gone, while the mass is on going, mom called me and I faced her as she told me someone  wants to see me. And there it was Mitori's  girlfriend Mandy Seiten, I stood up from my chair as she open her arms to me as she gives me a hug.
"It's  alright, baby... It's  okay... There, there... Now stop crying...", she said as  she wipes my tears away. I went outside  as dad was there even my auntie which was Mitori and Aoba's  mommy which was my second  mom whenever  I go here to have a vacation  and she was also my look alike, and also, already  had a new man, I mean fiancé named Alex Vega I went to  dad  as he hugged me while I was still crying, dad gave me the longest hug that I couldn't  even forget
"Wag ka nang umiyak, anak... Ang mahalaga na masaya  na si Tatay na kasama  na nya  si Nanay, at d na din sya nahihirapan.. Wag ka nang umiyak, tahan na.. Tahan na...", he said to me while he was still hugging me, after the short mass and eulogy  of mom to grandpa, everyone  were giving me some of their respect  to grandfather's  death even my neighbors  back at home  tita Virginia and tita Vinder they knew that I was the child that grandpa  took care since when I was a baby and they knew that I was been hurt by this news, but, tita Vinder  hugged me tight because  she was the closest  friend of tatay and nanay, "Don't  cry, En...", she said in Indian language  which I can understand  some of it. While the others left it was only the Silverio  Family, Bautista  family and Suarez family which is Mitori  and Aoba's family name. Then, the five of us reunited  once more while Mitori  and Aoba  had brought their girlfriends with them, Jin was told by Tia  to bring us something  to eat and he brought some chicken burgers and some sodas for us, I ate about 2 chicken burgers and then, I felt a light shines behind  me and I looked up and saw the sky were like painted in yellow  orange  and it was like from some movies that sunsets  are the best scenes... Even mom took a picture of it and that moment  I just stared into the sky knowing that tatay is now happy to be with nanay and that day was more kind of memory  that  I should never forget and let that thing erase through my memory. After his cremation, we headed  to the apartment and decided  to get some of his things while Auntie gets the other things, but, somehow grandpa  told me that he left some money for me and I search over his old antique  cabinet and there I found  nothing but only a wallet that I only found, then I approach  mom and whispered to her that my money that grandpa was saving for me were all gone.
"What do you mean gone, sweety?", she asked me as I quickly  took her hand as we headed to the dining  room  where the antique  cabinet  was there, I showed the pouch  to mom and she made that  reaction then she went to dad to tell it also, while we were waiting  for Tia to come over to finalize  what we'll  take from grandfather's  things I lay down on Aoba's  waist while waiting for them while dad, mom, Jin and Alisa  were on the couch resting themselves while laying down I was just playing with my cousin's hair, and I quickly  decided  that I will take the pot and the kettle  since I was born grandpa always  uses it and when Tia arrived  and smiled at me, that I will take them, then after  awhile I felt that I'm  going to vomit so I excused myself and vomit all out of what I have eaten back at the Loyola, then I heard Tia to treat us to McDonald's  and there my sickness  ran away and I got out to the bathroom  and then, smiled to  Tia. Then mom told me to change clothes  before we head home it was now 9:30 pm which it was getting late so, Tia decided  to give the money to mom then Dad gets the Sportivo  ready while getting the car I met one of Aoba's  guys and he was a businessman  though a cute guy perhaps, "Umm... hello!", I said with a smile then he looks at me and smiled at me also.
"Hello.. You must be Mitori and Aoba's cousin... Condolences to you and to your  family...", he told me as we shake hands.
"Got a name, onee-chan?", I asked with a smile to make myself  cheerful and he smiled.
"Paul Peter Dy... You must be??", he asked me.
"Me, En Silverio  nice to meet  you Kuya Peter...", I said then dad called me then he decided  to escort me going to the gate and Jin opens  the car door for me as he helped  me to get in, I thanked him even mom also thanked him.
"Thanks kuya, ingat po kayo and nice meeting  you...", I said before I closes the window.
"Yeah... Nice meeting  you, also En... Ingat kayo..", he told me as we headed  to the open road. Mom told us to get some rest while we were still on the road, I lay down myself  on Jin's  lap and he rested himself  on the seat while Alisa covers herself  with her blanket that she brought to make herself  warm while dad brought his jacket for me or mom if one of us gets cold, we stopped for awhile at the Marikina  Valley Hospital  to get something  and then, mom got back and  gave the card of grandpa  which was his driver's  license it was raining hardly  when we were in Marikina  but when we got to EDSA  it was already  calm and the road was a but more spacious  and less cars no more heavy traffic, when we got to Macapagal Road  we stopped by to grab some late dinner at Chowking, while ordering I leaned  over dad's  shoulder while mom and Jin was ordering  for us, even Alisa was also hungry, all of us were tired, dad is tired of  driving  and also hungry even mom could feel the same way she's  tired from work because  this day happened, even us three were all tired woke up early  morning  then got out to school  around 1:36 pm which was our nap time during  weekends and holidays, when our orders  have arrived we ate and after awhile we got full then we grabbed desserts when we got to Naic, Jin and Alisa  fell asleep while me I was still up and still eating my ice cream while mom fed dad while driving  and  eating fries well, to have a little  company  for ourselves, we arrived  home around exactly 1:35 am....
