Rhyme POV
Palabas na kami ng simbahan ni Verse nang magring yung phone ko.
It was Mom. I got excited all of the sudden. Namimiss ko na kasi sila ni Dad. They know that I've love to stay with them in the Philippines but I don't have to urge to go home. I don't have the guts and courage because I'm afraid that I might see him. Atleast here in Singapore I can live without thinking about HIM, well not totally forgetting him, but not that much anymore. And one thing for sure HE already build his own family with Hailey. Sumikip yung Dibdib ko at tumingin sa anak ko. I don't want to complicate things. Although It would be unfair for Verse to know his father but I can't stand seeing Verse hurt. Siya na lang meron ako kaya hindi ko siya hahayaang masaktan.
Verse always ask for his father but I always ended up making ways to divert the conversation. Alam kong habang lumalaki si Verse parami ng parami yung mga katanungan niya sa akin but in right time, I will tell him and I'm sure he will understand.
I answered the call quickly and I was stunned as I heard my mother's sob.
Nabitawan ko yung phone ko at parang bigla nalang ako nanghina.
Pinilit kong ihakbang yung paa ko para umupo sa bench doon habang hawak sa kanang kamay si Verse.
A tear escape from my eyes.
"Mommy are you okay" napatingin ako sa anak ko at inabot sa akin yung phone ko na nahulog kanina. Worried is written all over his face.
"Mommy why are you crying" he said tapos bigla na rin siyang umiyak.
"Hush baby, okay lang si Mommy, diba big boys don't cry? Big boy ka na diba?" Sabi ko sa kanya. Pinunasan ko yung luha ko. Whenever Verse saw me crying he always like that. He always says that he don't want me to see crying and hurting.
He nod before he spoke again.
"Okay ka lang po ba talaga Mommy, is everything alright?"
I nod.
"Diba you want to see LolaMommy and LoloDaddy?" Tanong ko sa kanya.
"Yes Mommy I miss them" his mood easily brighten. He got excited.
"Do you want to visit them in Philippines?" I ask again
"Yes, are we going to Philippines Mom?"
" Yes son ASAP"
"I thought you don't want to go to Philippines?" He ask me, he looks confused because he knows that I don't want to go back to Philippines. But this time its exemption.
"Yah but LoloDaddy is not okay so we should hurry go back to Philippines to see him."
"Okay" he simply said.
-------
Mabilis kaming umuwi ng bahay at nag-empake. I already booked for our flight today. I really need to fly home to see Dad.
Dad is being hospitalized. He got shot in chest said Mom. Hindi pa alam ni Mommy kung ano na lagay ni Daddy kasi nung tumawag siya kakasugod pa lang nila kay Daddy sa Hospital.
Hindi ko rin magawang tumawag sa phone ni Mommy dahil natatakot akong malaman kung ano ang lagay niya.
"Will LoloDaddy be alright Mommy" Verse ask on our way to airport.
"Ofcourse he will my Son, LoloDaddy is a strong person right?, so he be okay" I smiled to my son as I said that. I want to lighten the mood.
Verse cried a while ago upon hearing that to me. He is closed to my Dad ofcourse.
Upon arriving at the airport dirediretso na kaming nagcheck in ni Verse and ready na for Boarding.
Habang nasa byahe naiiyak na kinakabahan ako. I don't want to lose my Dad. Sila na lang din kasi makakapitan ko. I love them as I love Verse.
