I sighed after I deleted my drafts and files about Wave from my documents.

Mabigat pero this is for the better, right? Mas magiging mabigat pa kapag pinagpatuloy ko 'to. Mas maraming masisira.

Umilaw ang phone ko at tumaas ang kilay nang makitang may warning ng full storage.

Scratching my brow, I connected it to my laptop to transfer my phone files. Some pictures and videos I took when I didn't have my camera with me.

Tumaas ang kilay ko nang makitang may isang file na matagal ang transfer kaya pinindot ko ang length at nagtaka.

It's almost an hour! Maybe I recorded something and forgot to turn it off?

I waited for it to transfer completely and I was about to open it when my laptop turned off.

"The fuck?" Sumimangot ako, tinanggal ang cord para hanapin ang charger nang tumunog ang phone. It was my dad requesting FaceTime, kaagad ko iyong sinagot.

"How was your day, 'nak?" Dad's light voice made me grin.

"Hi, Daddy Pogi!"

"Hi, Ganda!" Kumaway siya sa camera, kumikislap ang asul na matang nakuha ko sa kanya.

"How are you doing, Dad?"

"Good but missing you, Kuya Zion and Ate Sibyl is home. Ikaw lang ang wala bunso," aniya.

"Is Ate home?"

"Oo, ganda. May kinuha kasi kaming clearance niya from the hospital. Sumama siya pero saglit lang kami. Ikaw, bunso? When kaya?"

I chuckled.

I would really love to go home since I wasn't finishing anything anymore. I abandoned my article and probably won't get that promotion.

I was a bit disappointed but it doesn't matter.

"I'll be back soon, Dad. Will finish lang po muna ang vlog ko. I'm thinking of posting a few episodes and then writing my article."

"You've been stressing a lot about that. How is it going?"

"Okay naman, Dad. Ako pa ba?" Ngumisi ako.

"Good. You are great, princess. You can do it! Whatever the outcome might be, dito lang kami ni mommy mo." He reassured. "Basta kahit anong mangyari nandito lang kami ni misis ko. Don't stress yourself too much."

"Okay po." I smiled. "Nasaan po sina Kuya? Si Ate?"

"Kuya Zion is cooking with Mommy," aniya. "You know, 'nak. Kuya is back at the academy."

"Really?!" My eyes widened.

"Yes, he will continue his military training now,"

"That's great!" Natutuwang sabi ko. "But how about Mommy? Okay lang sa kanya?"

"Alyx won't say no. Alam n'yo namang kung anong gusto n'yo ay gusto na rin namin ng Mommy mo. It was his dream for a long time. He trained with us so he wanted to pursue. He believes this line is for him. Nakakakaba pagkatapos no'ng nangyari sa 'tin noon but I think it's better if he faced this head on. Nasa kanya naman iyan."

"How about Ate?" I asked.

"Well, she's doing great in the hospital. Currently nasa therapy." Ngumiti siya at lumambot ang tingin. "I am really proud of my children. I am happy because you're all very brave. Sobrang nakakataba ng puso na lahat kayo ay inaabot ang mga pangarap at 'di sumusuko kahit na minsan mahirap ang daan."
