“Taru, Blow your candle baby and make a wish..” I heard my mom said. Ang saya pa ng mukha niya. Ayun napatingin lang ako sa cake.. I don’t wanna wish.
So I just blew it and then the end!
“You didn’t wish?” My mom asked. Omo, she’s so annoying.
I just shook my head at bumalik na ako sa room. Naririnig kong kumatok si mom pero di ko nalang pinansin.
“Anak, may problema ba?” sabi niya. Haist. Si mom ay isang single mom. Namatay dad ko, 2 years ago. Si mom nagtatrabaho bilang isang secretarya ng isang kompanya dito sa Iloilo. Yeah, taga Iloilo ako. Im turning 17 na. Im a senior student na at nag---
“cge anak. Kainin mo ang cake ha? Bake ko yan para sayo.” At ayun umalis na cguro. Wala na akong narinig eh..
Anyways, nag-aaral ako sa isang pribadong eskuwelahan.
Napataingin lang ako sa labas ng bintana at nakita ko si Mom na lumabas ng bahay.
Im not so close to my mom. Just a little bit. Im a weird sometimes but Im just a normal kid here in town.
“Mom, Im sorry.. Its my day and you prepared something to me at hindi ko man lang pinakita na na.appreciate ko yun.” Sabi ko habang pinagmamasdan ko yung mama ko. Bumuntong ako ng hininga at lumabas ng kwarto.
Then I saw the guitar and started to play.
*Where are you? When are you coming?
Again today, it’s me who is waiting.
No, It’s alright, I’m sorry for tactlessly push you.
I wasn’t strong enough so I couldn’t let you go.
I know it’s my foolish greed.
But Im erasing my tears and swallowing my words, I can’t watchmyself anymore,
I can’t watch*
