The Art of Letting Go

Chapter Five

Gab's POV

I hate seeing my little sister like this . I hate seeing her sad and hurt . Si Chesca ang pinaka-sweet na taong kilala ko . Super baet niya and malambing . Siya yung pinaka matalino sa class nila and sumasali din siya sa mga modeling events .

Malayo palang ako , alam ko ng siya yun . She was sitting on the ground at the park where we always go to when we have problems . Secret place namin yun eh . She was just there crying . I could see how hurt she was . Palapit ako ng palapit and when I was in front of her already , I looked at her in the eyes . While I was looking at her , all I saw was pain . She was in pain . I never saw her like this . Ano bang meron sa Jayvie na yan ? Ang mahirap pa dun , lagi silang magkikita sa church kase youth din siya dun .

I just hugged her and said EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT CHESCA . GOD HAS ANOTHER PLAN FOR YOU AND I'M SURE IT'S A BETTER ONE . YOU JUST HAVE TO BE STRONG AS ALWAYS .

Alam ko naman na hindi mawawala ang sakit na nararamdaman ng kapatid ko kahit na sabihin ko ang mga bagay na ito eh pero I just want her to be strong and give up . Kaya niya yan . Kakayanin niya with my help .

Me : Kaya ikaw Francesca Avery Miranda Garcia , in a relationship ka muna sa pinakagwapo at mabait na kuya sa buong mundo . . . Ang kuya MO ! Hehe . Tawa naman diyan .

Chesca : Alam mo kuya feeling ka parin ! Haha pero at least napatawa mo ko . Thank you kuya I love you talaga !

Me : At dahil I'm the best kuya in the world , mag enjoy tayo . Kahit san mo gusto . C'mon . San mo ba gusto ?

Chesca : Mag beach nalang tayo kuya . Magsurf tayo ? Please ? Just for the weekend ?

Me : Well , that's a very good idea . I'll ask mom if pwede tayo pumunta sa vacation house natin then if pumayag sila , pupunta na tayo kaagad .

Me : Ma pwede po ba kami pumunta ni Chesca sa vacation house natin sa beach ? She just needs a break . Please , Ma .

Mom : Well , wala naman problema . I'll call manang there so maayos niya ang bahay . Before you leave , dumaan muna kayo sa office ng daddy niyo and magpaalam kayo okay ? We'll try to go there para makapag bonding tayo .

Me : Opo Ma , see you . We love you !

Two hours later . . .

Me : Chesca , are you all set ? Dadaan pa tayo kay daddy . Bilisan mo para wag tayong masyadong gabihin .

Chesca : I'm comingggggg .

Dad : Hey kids , what brought you here ?

Dad hugged Chesca and I really am thankful that he's there . He's always been there for us when mom wasn't kase mas may free time siya from his work than mom does . Doctor kase si mom eh .

Me : Dad , were going to our vacation house in La Union . We'll be there for the weekend . Chesca needs a break kase eh .

Dad : That's a very good idea . Bakit di nalang kame sumama ng mom niyo para naman makapagbonding tayo ?

Chesca : That's a very good idea dad !

Dad : Melisa , please cancel all my appointments today and for the weekend . My family needs me .

This is how united my family is . Kaya nga lucky kame kase ganto ang family namin eh .

Dad : I'll call your mom okay ?

Honey , we're going to La Union.

Mag ready ka na at susunduin ka na namin diyan .

Chesca : But dad , what about mom's patients ? She can't just leave them .

Dad : This should be a surprise but , sasabihin ko na sainyo . Your mom's opening another hospital . Another branch will be opened and being the owner of the hospital , mas magkakatime na siya . Your lolo's very happy about her decision .

Chesca and I were shocked but we were also happy kase we'll have more time for each other .

Dad : Our family's more important than anything else in the world kids . We will do everything for you two ..
