Queen Maldita meets King Cassanova

Chapter 31

"Dad?" Pumasok ako sa hospital. He was lying down in the bed. He has so much bruises and his wound in the head cause him to pass out.

"He is okay now, sweetie." It's Mom.

"Bakit hindi niyo sinabi sa amin na uuwi si Dad? Edi sana ako na sumundo sa kanya."

"You father wanted to surprise the both of you." She sat down beside dad. "It was the car lost the break. Thankful na mas pinili ng driver na ibangga sa kahoy and kotse that ten-wheeler truck."

"How's the driver?"

"He is fine. Recovering."

"Mom?"

Si Cathy, galing siya ng opisina. Pagkadating palang namin galing Mindanao dumiretso  siya sa office kase may emergency din. Perks of being a CEO.

"Cathy." Lumapit si Mom sa humihikbi kong kapatid.

"Shhh. Dad is fine already. Shhh."

"Lia?"

"Hmm?"

"You can rest now. Kami na muna ni Mom ang magbabantay. Wala ka pang tulog." Ani ate. Na akam kong siya man ay wala din tulog.

I nodded and kissed her head as my goodbye. I also kissed Mom on her cheek. "Bye Mom, Bye Cathy." Then I left.

Lumipad kami pa-Manila ng malaman namin ang balita. Mom booked our flight immediately that night. Kaya naman buong gabi akong gising.

The gals and guys were still in the Island. Gusto nila sumama pauwi pero wala pa silang fying ticket. Ako narin nagsabi na they can stay there until Saturday. Kase okay lang naman ako. I can handle things. Ako pa ba?

Brent wanted to come with me pero wala siyang ticket and I insist na he can stay there. But no, knowimg Brent. Susunod at susunod yun.

Nagising ako sa ring ng phone ko.

"Hello?"

"Good afternoon."  It was Brent. I looked at my clock. It's 2pm already. Napahaba pala ang tulog ko.

"Good afternoon. Napahaba pala ang tulog ko."

"How are you and Tito William?"

"He is recovering now."

"Good to hear that. How are you?"

I sighed.

"I'm okay. I guess."

"Nasa airport na ako ngayon. 2:30 ang departure ko. So by 3:45 andyan na ako."

"Are you alone?"

"Yeah. The others are staying, they wanted to go home  too. But I said they can stay kase kakarating lang nila dun."

"Okay."

"See you."

"Uhmmm Brent?"

"Yes?"

"Take care please."

"I will."

Our call ended.

Sinabi ko na sa inyo e, susunod yun. I feel bad na kiligin sa sitwasyon namin pero shit! Kinikilig ako e!

*Mama told me not to waste my life she said spread your wimgs my little butterfly*

That's my ringtone. Sorry. Hahaha.
