THAT SHOULD BE ME

SIMULA

Denisse Nicole De Guzman

"Ano?! Saan ka na naman nanggaling kagabi ha?! Sa babae mo na naman?! Ha?!"

Kinuha ko yung phone at headset ko at sinuksok ito sa tenga ko. Finull ko na din ang volume nito.

I'm so tired listening and watching them fight. Kahit nakasarado na yung pinto,dinig na dinig pa rin yung mga boses nila.

I'm so sick of this. With the fights,with all the shoutings. All those endless nights of fighting. I want to escape from all of these.

But I can't. I just can't.

Nagvibrate ang phone ko. I checked it,and it was from Yvonne.

From: Dyosang Yvonne

May assignment ba?

Pinalitan na naman yung name niya. Aish!

To: Dyosang Yvonne

Wala naman. Bakit ka pala absent?

I waited for a minute before she replied.

From: Dyosang Yvonne

Sorry,di ko pala nasabi sayo. Naconfine kasi si Lola,kaya nagbantay ako. Wait,I'll call you na lang.

Magtatype pa lang sana ako nang magappear sa screen ko ang name niya.

Dyosang Yvonne calling.........

Decline Accept

I press the 'accept' button.

Hello Denisse?

How's your Lola?

Naheat stroke daw. Aish! Sinabi na kasi nila daddy na huwag na siyang pasyal ng pasyal sa garden at tirik ang araw. Ang kulit.

So,makakapasok ka na ba bukas?

Oo naman,umabsent lang naman ako dahil nag-alala talaga ako ng bonggang-bongga,pero stable naman na.

Good to hear. Oh,I suddenly remember something.

What is it?

May binigay si Nathan sa akin,it was an invitation card,for Nadine's birthday.

Oh really?! Buti di ako kinalimutan ng hubby ko.

I chuckled.

Yeah right. Ibibigay ko na lang sayo tomorrow.

Yeyy!

Ate,dinner na daw.

Ahh sige susunod na ako.

Denisse kain na kami,bukas na lang ah.

Sure. Bye.

*Toot toot toot*

I smiled bitterly.

I envy Yvonne. Her family is too perfect. I bet,Tita Daisy never fought with Tito William. They have a family day,a day made for each of them.
