Short Update!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
She stands in the front of her parent's house. Her home. The place where she grew up, as she can remember. The last she was here was seven years ago. And it's something she doesn't want to go back to. When she decided to move to America she also decided to leave everything behind in the Philippines, including her past.
"Ma'am Sarah?! Ikaw po ba yan?!" Tanong ng katulong nila na nag didilig sa labas.
"Manang!" She smiled sa matandang matagal na nilang kasama sa bahay.
Mabilis binuksan ni Manang ang gate. "Bakit hindi ka nag pasabi na ngayon ang dating mo! Nasundo ka sana namin." Yapos ni Manang sa kanya.
"Alam naman po nila mommy ngayon dating ko. At masyado po ma aga ayoko istorbohin sila kaya nag taxi na lang ako," paliwanag ni Sarah. "Tulog pa po ba sila?"
"Si daddy mo nasa hospital," sabi ni manang.
"Ano po ba nangyari? Anong nangyari kay Daddy at nahospital sya?" Tanong ni Sarah.
"Ate!" Bati sa kanya ni Gab. He hugged her so tight. "I'm glad you are here."
"I miss you Gabriel!" She hugged her brother back. "Si Mommy?"
"Nasa hospital."
"Let's go na. I want to see them," Sarah said.
"Are you sure? Ready ka na? You don't want to rest first?"
"Nope! I want to know what happened and get this over with. I only have two weeks," Sarah explained.
"Ate, don't be so insensitive! You are here because of family emergency. Why are you hurrying things? Sana hindi ka na lang umiwu kung ganyan ang attitude mo!" Gab said walking out and heading to the car.
"Gab!"
"Lets go na! I'll drive you to the hospital to get this shit over with! Nag mamadali ka diba?!"
"Watch your language Gab! Ako pa rin ang na kakatanda!" Inis na sabi ni Sarah ng sumakay sa car ng kapatid.
It was a quiet ride to the hospital. Naka tingin lang si Sarah sa window trying to remember all the city side of Manila. She can't deny na she missed her home country.
They arrived at the hospital. She already felt something really weird. She felt worried and scared at the same time. When she entered the hospital she saw a family staring at her. The mom was crying looking at her. Then she smiled at her, she felt like kilala nya ang babae. Then there was a guy consoling her also looked at her. He gave her a sad smile.
"Ate!" Sabi ni Gab. Napatingin sya sa tinitingnan ni Sarah. Gab gave a nod to Ken and Mommy Vangie. "Lets go inside?"
"Huh? Ye-yeah... Okay," she said still looking at Ken and Vangie. "Kilala mo ba yun mag ina sa labas?" Tanong nya kay Gab while they walk in the hospital.
"There's mommy," iwas na sagot ni Gab. He pointed at their mom waiting outside by the operating room.
"Mommy!" Sabi ni Sarah. She sped walk to her mom and gave her a long tight hug.
