without you

Kase

 
It's just a ten minute walk from my house to my parents. We're late as usual, I laugh inside my head as she panic to get ready.

"I told you it's fine. They can wait."

Kunot noo siya nitong tinignan. I just smiled, I'm just wearing my usual pants and black t-shirts.

I wait outside. Hindi naman nag tagal at lumabas na rin siya.

Minsan parang tumitigil sandali ang oras pag tinitignan ko siya. Parang panaginip pa rin lahat, na andito narin siya sa wakas.

I hold her hand as we walk.

She's wearing a nice blue dress that rest just above her knees.

"You look beautiful," I told her smilling.

I didn't get a chance to compliment her before.

She's biting her lip again.

"We're here,"

Kumatok ako sa pinto, My sister opened the door.

"Kanina pa kayo iniintay ni mama," sabi nito sakin.

I felt Cass looked away to my sister's stare. Tinitignan nito ang kamay namin at ang buhok namin na parehong basa ng mga oras na yon.

"Jade stop starring at her, This is my sis and this is Cassy,"

They just both smiled at each other.

We went inside. Mom's at the sala.

"Cassandra iha." She was smilling at her, almost wanted to stand sitting at her wheel chair.

"Ma okay kana ba?"

"Oo at onting pahinga pa at masisipa kona rin kayong dalawa,"

Mom's referring to me and my sister.

Hindi ko na lamang iyon pinansin.

"Kamusta po kayo?"

"I'm fine now Iha, Ikaw kamusta ka?"

I held her hand and answered for her instead. "We're good Ma. don't worry about her, I'm here to take care of that."

"Kuya tawag ka ni papa sa kusina."
CL, my little brother called my attention.

"Can I leave you two here for a while? I'll just help them at the kitchen,"

She just nodd and smiled back to my mom. I kissed her forehead before leaving.

Naabutan kong busy si papa sa pag luto ng hapunan.

He's been quiet for a while now that we got mom back. It's been hell but I'll get better soon.

"Are you planning to stay here for the night?" My dad, Cris looked me in the eye for the first time again.

"No. why?" I answered, he looked tired.

"Well I don't like it either but your mom wanted to see all of you, Keith is going home today too and requested to hold his concert for her."

I don't need to answer another why and just replied okay.

...

"Good to see you alive," I laugh and get the glass he was holding.

"Kelan kapa naging alcoholic?" tanong ko dito. My older brother, Keith looking thirty when he was just twenty eight young.

"Kamusta?" he ask back not answering my question.
