Chapter 29: By Her Side

Miracle

I hate her! Hinding-hindi ko siya mapapatawad this time! Hindi ako matigil sa pag-iyak dahil hindi ko mawaksi sa isip ko na mawawasak na ang pamilya ko. All my life, I never wanted anything other than having a complete and happy family. Gusto kong maging saksi na nagmamahalan ang mga magulang ko. Iyon lang ang ginusto ko sa buhay ko at ipinagkakait pa 'yon sa'kin ng pagkakataon.

"Brainy, trust me. Magkakaayos rin sila."

"No, Sven. Dad has left. Dad has left already and mom just did nothing to make him stay. Alam ko eh... hindi aalis si daddy kung pinigilan lang niya."

Hininto ni Sven ang kotse na nagpataranta sa'kin. Kailangan kong maabutan si daddy sa opisina. I need to see him right now! But when Sven embraced me, I realized how I badly needed it at the moment.

"Sven... ayokong maghiwalay ang mga magulang ko."umiiyak na pagtatapat ko.

"Hush now baby. We'll see your dad and we'll make him fix everything."

Matapos ko siyang tanguan, bumalik siya sa pagda-drive. Mabuti nalang at di kami naabutan ng traffic, nakarating agad kami sa office ni daddy. His secretary informed us that he's still on his way back to the company. Sa hindi ko malamang dahilan, hindi ako mapakali habang nasa loob kami ng office at naghihintay.

"Baby..."

Binalingan ko si Sven na ngayon ay binibigyan ako ng makahulugang ngiti. I was crying but seeing him smile that way, I can't help but smile back. It was reassuring. Even though I am so troubled and scared, he gave me the strength and hope to make me believe that everything will be okay.

"Thank you, dummy."

"I love you. And I will always be here for you, baby."he replied making me hug him.

Sabay na napatayo kami ni Sven nang bumukas ang pinto ng opisina. Iniluwa no'n si daddy kaya agad akong tumakbo at yumakap sa kanya.

"Dad."

Daddy hugged me back and it made me cry again. A few moments later, he was also sobbing.

"I'm so sorry, sweetheart. Dad failed. I know I promised that I will fix it but—"

"Daddy. Let's go home. Please? Dad?"

Hindi siya sumagot. Niyakap lang niya ulit ako.

"Ayokong masira ang pamilya natin. Umuwi na tayo daddy please?"

"Sweetheart, listen to me. Your mom... your mom—"he was cut off by his sobs. "Your mom needs space. I have to give her time. She needs to heal a wound that's hurting her for so many years. Daddy can't heal it."

"Mahal mo si mommy, daddy diba? You promised that you will stay by her side for better or worse. Dad... don't give up on mom, please."pagmamakaawa ko.

Dad didn't say anything. All.he did was cry in front of me. Suddenly, my phone rang which was held by Sven. Nilingon ko siya.

"It's nanay Cora."he informed.

I did not take it from him so he answered the call himself. Bumugso ang takot sa puso ko nang makita ko ang pagbabago ng ekspresyon sa mukha ni Sven. He even looked pale after the call. And my heart? It's pounding too fast like it's going out of my chest.

"Dummy? What—"

"Your mom. She was... she was brought to the hospital."he stammered. "She fell down the stairs."

Nagkatinginan kami ni daddy. Walang salita ang lumabas sa mga bibig namin kahit nang nasa loob na kami ng kotse, bumibiyahe patungo sa hospital. While my heart did not stop from beating so fast, a realization struck me. Paano kung may masamang nangyari kay mommy?
