Pumasok na ako sa loob ng bahay at naabutan ko naman si mama na natutulog sa sofa. Pumunta nalang ako sa aking kwarto at nagshower.

Pinilit kong pumikit at matulog pero hindi pa ako inaantok, binuksan ko ang aking laptop at may nag email sa akin.

Travis: Julie matulog ka na at baka matakot ang mga kaklase natin bukas na may gumising na zombie hahahaha :')

Julie: Can't sleep

11:50 pm

Travis: Hindi ka ba makatulog o iniisip mo lang ako?? :)))

I rolled my eyes then smiled

Julie: Mokong!

Travis: You're smiling, I can see you!

Julie: Ang creepy mo!

Julie: Trav about what happened...you know

Travis: what happened?

Julie: the kiss!!!!

Travis: You said to forget about it. :(((

Julie: just friends

Travis: I have a question...

Travis: Pwede ka na bang mag boyfriend?

Julie: hindi, I have a question. Bakit wala ka ba talagang girlfriend???

Travis: wala pa... hindi ka pa kasi pwede.

And I didn't reply. Malanding bakulaw.

I woke up sitting at the desk at ang laptop ko ay puno na ng laway.
Pinahiran ko 'yon at buti nalang umaandar pa.

When the screen flashed, it was the picture of my dad and mom na bagong kasal, hindi ko naman namalayan to kagabi. I smiled they were both very happy that time.

I sighed, Namiss ko na si dad.

Pumunta ako sa kitchen at nandun si mama.

"I made breakfast." she smiled weakly.

I glared at her."Akala ko ba maaga pa yong trabaho mo?"

"I know nagagalit ka Julie."
Nakikinig lang ako dahil ang aga pa ng universe para mag-away.
"Robert is you're dad's friend, and he is helping me find out why you're dad died"

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa sinabi ya. "Sabi mo na aksidente siya? So, lahat yon kasinungalingan? Ano pa ba ang hindi totoo ma?" I blurted out all these questions.

"Hindi ko alam, hindi ko alam"
She shook her head. I can see her eyes beginning to be watery again. "I'm so sorry Julie, hindi ko lang gusto na mag alala ka."

I hugged her, I can't stand seeing my mom like this, she had problems all this time and I was not there to comfort her.

"Hindi natuloy ang divorce, I did not sign the contract because he didn't gave me a valid reason and two weeks later he died in his car butp I know it wasn't an accident" si Mama "I did not tell you this because you were to young to upnderstand but now-"

"You told me to move on mom and I was trying, maybe you can too." sabi ko

She shed tears."I love your dad so much Julie, alam ko hindi niya to kayang gawin."
