Thirteen

Chapter 13
Disappointment

I'M finally home.

Napangiti agad ako ng pagpasok pa lang ng kotse ko sa gate ay sinalubong na agad ako ni Mom at ng kapatid kong si Victoria.

They are cheerfully embraced both of my arms. As if they don't saw me for a year, pero ang totoo two months lang naman ang huli ko pang uwi dito sa bahay namin.

"Anak. I'm glad you finally visit us here." Mom said. Puno ng kagalakan ang kanyang mga mata at boses.

"Ate, I miss you. Ang daya mo talaga. Hindi naman kalayuan ang Makati sa Quezon e, pero hindi ka pa rin makauwi, often." My sister Victoria frown.

"Sorry na nga. I'm just so very busy. Napaka hectic rin ng mga schedules ko. You know that guys." Mommy nodded, but my sister rolled her eyes. "Anyway, mom kumusta na ho ang kalagayan mo ngayon?"

"I'm fine Ija, lalo at nandito ka na." I'm so worried and hurriedly go home when I received Victoria's message na nahilo raw bigla si mom kanina.

"What is the doctor's finding mom? May sakit ka ba?" I still bothered.

"Its a normal for a low blood person cases like me Ija, kaya ako biglang nahilo. Don't worry, wala akong sakit. OA lang talaga itong kapatid mo at sobrang nag-alala agad sakin." Nakahinga ako ng maluwang. "But thanks God, because that leads you home and visit us today."

"Mommy, don't say that. Nag-aalala ako sa'yo but then parang mas okay lang sa'yo magkasakit. Makakauwi naman ako even you're not sick e." Umakap ako dito ng mahigpit. "You go to consult your doctor mom?"

"Hindi na kailangan. Ininum ko nalang yung reseta ng doctor ko nung nakaraang buwan na ganito rin ang nararamdaman ko."

"What?"

"Talaga yang si Mommy ate. Ang tigas ng ulo, mana ka talaga diyan dad said. She doesn't want to visit her doctor, pinipilit ko nga siya e. Ayaw talaga. Pag malaman ni daddy 'yan. Tiyak malalagot siya because of her hardheaded." Sumbong sakin ni Vitoria.

"Mom naman. You want me to go with you? Sasamahan kita ngayon." Umiling si mommy.

"Looks, my two lovely daughters are really worried for me." Ngumiti pa ito ng abot hanggang mata. She's so glad I'm home.

"Because we are." Magkasabay pa namin ni Victoria. Then our mom hugs us. Nagdrama na naman.

"Red. Namiss ka ni mommy nak. Hugged me tight my baby." At niyakap ko naman ito at pinaghahalikan sa noo.

"I love you, mom. I miss you so much."

"What surprised. Look who's here today huh." My heart is pumping when I heard my dad's voice in my back. "My ever hardheaded and rebellious eldest daughter." Dagdag niya ng humarap na ako sa kanya.

"Victor!" Mom warns dad. Ganito lagi ang eksena sa tuwing umuuwi ako at nasa bahay na si daddy.

"What Rosela? Totoo naman diba?"

"Victor naman, please kakauwi lang ng Anak natin. Will you please nice to her?"

"Mom. It's okay." Pinigilan ko si mom magsalita at lumapit kay daddy. "H-Hi dad." Then I kissed his cheek. "Good afternoon. Sorry, I-I'm not here to fight you." Yun lang sinabi ko at tinalikuran na ito.
