RUNAWAY (Completed)

'Til Death

"Hi baby! I know you're growing everyday. I may not be by your side today, physically, but I'm inside your heart. I'm just here to remind you that I love you very much! Always remember that God is always by your side and me too. Be good ha. Laging makinig kay papa. Make him happy. Always remind him that I love him so much. Nasa malayo kasi si Mama but I'm always by your side, guiding you. If ever na malungkot ka, just play this video. Always remember that trials are part of life. Find friends but never ever give up with your studies. Don't think that you're alone. Magtatampo ako. Don't worry about me. I'm fine. Papa will explain to you everything when the right time comes. Always remember baby that me and your Papa loves you so much! Have a good day Thea! Mama loves you. Mag-iingat ka lagi ha! Say I love you to papa for me."

This was the video that was playing when I entered the room of our daughter. Lagi niya nalang to pinapanood.

The video was made by Ara 5 years ago. She didn't told me about this not until she was in the hospital bed September 28 five years ago.

"Baby. Why are you still awake?"

"I'm just playing the video that mama recorded."

"I see. Go to sleep na. You still have classes tomorrow."

"I know. Please let me sleep first before you go back into your room."

"Okay. Let me sit beside you."

"What happened to her 5 years ago?"

"We'll be telling you soon not just today."

"When is it?"

"Soon."

"Ow. Okay, can i ask you something?"

"Okay. Anything baby."

"Do you love mama? And by the way she wants me to say I love you for you."

"Of course. I will always love her."

"How much do you love her?"

"Priceless, baby."

"Did she loved you too?"

"She always loved me."

"Awwwe. You know what papa?"

"What is it?"

"Someday, I want to have that kind of love story. I admire both of you."

Manang mana talaga to sa nanay niya.

"Someday baby. You're still young. Things will fall on it's right places at the right time"

"Yes. I will first prioritize my studies. That's what mama told me."

"You should. Mana ka talaga sa akin."

"Psh. No I'm not!"

"Eh kanino naman?"

"Syempre kay mama."

"Ouch baby! Ouch!"

"But I love you both!"

"That's it!" Then she started to kiss my whole face.

Our daughter is so bubbly. Nagmana talaga sa mama niya.

"Okay enough." I grabbed her and kissed her forehead and laid her down on her bed.

"Sleep tight anak. You still have classes tomorrow."

"Yeah. I love you Papa."

"Good night." I said as I turned off the lights.

"Good night too papa!"
