Pagkadating ko ng bahay ay agad kong naabutan si Tita Sandy sa sala..
"Nathalie, what's your plan?" Tanong niya sa akin
"I'm going to Manila, tita. Can I borrow Manong Ben to drive my car?"
"Sure, Nathalie. No problem. Anyway, how's your Dad? Jusko, talagang napauwi ako kaninang tumawag ang Mommy mo" ani niya at uminom ng juice na binigay ng katulong
"He's in hospital right now, tita. I want to go now" naiiyak kong sambit
"Inom ka muna, Nathalie. Everything will be alright, eventually. Don't worry" niyakap ako ni Tita
Tears are starting to fall over my face. Paano kung may mangyaring masama kay Daddy? I don't want that to happen!
"Excuse me po. Adda dijay rwar ni Ezekiel, ma'am" ani ng katulong
"Ezekiel is here. Go and talk to him" ani Tita
Tumango naman ako at pinunasan ang aking mga luha. Hindi ko alam kung anong sasabihin ko kay Ezekiel. I'm so sad and devastated.
"Nathalie, are you okay?" Bungad ni Ezekiel pagkalabas ko ng bahay..
Nakasandal siya sa kotse niya. Agad akong yumakap sa kanya at hindi ko na napigilan ang umiyak.. Gawd, I'm so emotional!
"Hush baby. Everything will be okay. Just tell me what happened"
"Nasa ospital si Dad, Ezekiel. I will go to Manila. Hindi naman malala, diba?" patuloy pa rin ang pag-iyak ko
"Of course, baby. Magiging okay ang Dad mo"
Hindi ako nagsalita at patuloy pa rin siyang niyakap. I'm so thankful that he's here with me. Hindi niya ako pinabayaan kahit kailan..
"Ilang araw ka sa Manila?" Tanong niya nang kumalas ako ng yakap
"I don't know. Depende pag okay na si Daddy"
Niyakap ko ulit siya. "I will miss you, baby"
"I love you baby. I'll miss you so much" sagot niya
Hinalikan ko siya and he responded the kiss. I love him so much! I don't want him to let go. Hindi ko kakayaning mawala siya sa buhay ko..
"Please always contact me. Okay? I need to know if you're okay"
Hinawakan niya ang pisngi ko at nilapit ang ilong niya sa ilong ko. I can smell his good breathe.
"I will, baby. Don't worry" ani ko

"Ready na ba lahat ng gamit mo, Nathalie?" Tanong ni Tito Brend
"Yes, tito. Thank you" sagot ko at kinuha na ang maleta para ilagay sa sasakyan
Nakakahiya kasi napauwi talaga sila ni Tita Sandy nang malaman ang nangyari kay Dad. They're so supportive..
