Love Game 3: To be or not to be? (√)

Episode 30

Set-up

--

Just landed in Germany and now we're on our way to our 'house', a place that will never be a home for me.

"Anak, okay ka lang ba?" si Mommy, "Ang tahimik mo naman, hayaan mo, lilipas lang din naman ang mga araw, makakasama mo na ulit si Monique at ang apo ko. Okay?" she said and I nodded, apo talaga! tss natawa na lang ako ng kaunti.

I smiled a bit, "To that, I'm certain. It's just that hindi ko lang din talaga maiwasan na maisip na kung ano na naman mangyayari sa'kin dito. I only have bad memories to recall here." I said hoestly

I sighed again because I'm missing everyone back in Manila. Hindi na ako nagpahatid kay Monika kanina sa airport as we agreed dahil na rin sa hindi ko rin ata kaya. Hindi ko alam kung ano ba mas okay tuloy eh, nagpahatid na lang ba dapat ako? Confused.

"After Laura's wedding, you'll go home. You can count on me Eli, okay?" she smiled and I smiled in return. Gusto ko rin talaga kumapit sa sinabi niya.

Dumating kami sa bahay. This huge house annoys me so much and I don't really know why, siguro dahil this reminds me of dad? Maybe.

"Elijha!" si Grandma, "I'm so happy you're home!" she's currently on her wheelchair and yeah, she looks sick.

Sinenyasan ako ni Mommy na puntahan si Grandma at syempre naman pumunta ako. Damn, ineexpect ko na itong drama na 'to kaya nga hindi ako nadadala. Why? A year ago, I was begging for my freedom na halos lumuhod na ako sa kanila pero ano? Wala naman nangyari, they heard but they never really listened, buti na lang talaga nag change of hearts ang Mommy ko noon. Pero, damn, move on na ako sa bagay na 'yon.

Niyakap ko si grandma and now here she is, she's crying legit tears.

"Thank you for choosing home." she said again, "Thank you Cathy for bringing him home." sabi niya kay Mommy and I sighed

"It was Elijha's decision to come here mother, he said he wanted to pay you a visit and attend Laura's wedding!" si Mommy at tumango na lang ako to agree

"But you are going to stay here again right? I heard you're doing fine with your illness and I'm glad you're well now, you can start your training taking over our companies!" the old lady said at napaangat tingin ako sa kanya

Gusto kong umismid pero hindi ko na lang ginawa, "I'm going back to the Philippines after Laura's wedding. I'm only here to visit you,--"

Kumunot ang noo niya at hindi niya na ako pinatapos mag salita, "W-what do you mean?"

Nakita ko kung paano nag iba ang ekspresyon ng kanyang mukha and for sure, hindi niya ito nagustuhan.

I looked at her, "I'm going back home and you know exactly which home I am referring to, grandma." I said clearly

"Elijha needs to have a rest from the long trip mother," si Mommy at tumango na lang ang matanda.

"I'll see you around, grandma." sabi ko na lang at nagkiss na lang ako sa kanya pakunswelo sa nalaman niya sa'kin. I smirked in silence.

Hinatid ako ni Mommy sa kwarto ko and damn brings back the old feels. Ito ang naging kulungan ko noon, a year ago!

"Anak, mag pahinga kana muna ha? H'wag kana mag-alala, ako na ang bahala sa'yo dito at ang importanteng gamit mo, ikaw na magtago ha? Gigisingin na lang kita pag kakain na." sabi nito

Feeling a little weird right now seeing her this concern, I think I really can count on her!

"Ma," I called

Napatingin siya sa'kin, at wait lang naman, anong sasabihin ko? "Yes anak?" she asked

I shook my head, "Ah--w-wala naman, matulog kana rin. You're tired." I said at agad higa sa kama ko at hindi ko na siya nilingon pa.
