Two days pa lang ako sa Cebu pero mukhang makakabalik na agad ako sa Manila. As I expected sobrang warm ng pagwelcome nila sa akin though there's still an obvious gap between me at kay dad. I know excited din ang mga kapatid ko especially my ates for my kwentos kaso alam kong nakikiramdam lang din sila kay dad just like me. But last night while having dinner doon na kami nagkaroon ng awkwardness.
"We're really sorry sachi if di kami nakanood ng live while you play" ate nicole told me
"It's fine alam ko naman na busy din kayo dito and di biro ang magpabalik balik from Cebu to Manila. Besides meron pa namang UAAP" I answered.
"you really did great sa game against Creamline konti na lang talaga" my ate Cyrielle commended.
"Thanks ate" I sincerely replied.
"You improved lalo na sa blocking sachi I saw how you blocked ate Jema then the crowd cheered" my brother is smiling while telling the story not sensing the tension that his comment caused " you're really famous na"
I smiled back at him and di na nagreply pa tiningnan ko si Dad na tahimik pa rin kumakain then to mom who mouthed 'pabayaan mo na muna'
"What are you thinking?" I got startled when I saw may mom leaning on my doorframe. I just heaved a sigh and that's her signal to sit beside me on my bed. "Tell me anak."
"Last night" I know I don't have to explain.
"Is it about your relationship with her?"
"Partly yes, but it's my relationship with you and dad I feel like sobrang nagbago na" I lower my head I can't look at her in the eyes.
"Anak, I'm not gonna lie when I learned about your relationship with her nalungkot ako kasi akala ko.. akala ko mababago pa. I'm your mother and kahit nung bata ka pa lang ramdam ko na that you're different from your sisters alam ko yun anak" she held my chin and made me look at her "but that doesn't mean na pipigilan kita sa kung ano ang gusto mo o sa kung sino ang mahal mo, yes I'm still hoping na magbabago ka pero I'm still here para suportahan ka" she gave me a genuine smile and I post it, I cried.
"Thanks ma" I hug her tight.
"Sshh tahan na Sachi. Let's just wait for your dad na tanggapin ka kilala ko yun he sees himself in you kaya nga malaki ang expectations n'ya sa'yo. Just give him time okay?"
"But I miss him mom pakiramdam ko he's not proud of me anymore di na tulad nung magstart ako magplay for the school." I sob.
"It's okay we'll take things slow okay di ka matitiis ng daddy mo"
After that talk with mom gumaan kahit papano yung loob ko. Sinulit ko ang vacation ko sa Cebu sama sama kami every time na kakain sa labas or magsisimba we do all the things na ginagawa na namin bago ako mag aral sa Ateneo and although malaki yung pinagbago sa amin ni dad he's still joining us whenever we go out for the sake of the family I guess. Di ko maiwasan isipin na sobrang laki ng pinagbago nya dati kasi iba talaga yung bond namin kami daw kasi talaga yung magkaugali sabi nga ng mga kapatid ko. I grew up na s'ya talaga ina idolize ko sa sports, career and of course as a family man. That's why gusto ko talaga makuha approval nya on this, sa'min ni Jessica just like what my mom said, I'll wait.
I'm currently laying in bed napagod ako sa pagbe-babysit sa pamangkin ko kanina. I checked my phone to see kung may nagmessage si Jessica and I smiled upon reading one.
BB? I really miss you na :(
Instead of replying I decided to just make a call. It was not long before she answered it.
"Hello?" I miss her voice
"I miss you too" I honest said.
"Wala ng intro intro ah ang breezy naman talaga ng love ko." I can already imagine her face na nakasmile.
"That 's what I feel ano magagawa ko?" I continued.
"Oo na po master Wong. Btw, have you eaten?"
"Not yet but my mom' s already preparing sa baba. Ikaw? " I explained as I mindlessly roll on my bed.
"That's good. Andito ulit sa bahay sila Cy papadeliver na lang daw kami."
Sakto naman na narinig kong may kumatok sa pinto. It's my mom telling me to go downstairs.
"Hmm. Bi my mom called me na kain na daw kami sa baba" gusto ko pa sana s'ya makausap
"Okay. Sige baba ko na p-" she said
"Wait" I interrupted "Di ka pa nag I love you" Nagpout ako then immediately smiled upon realizing na di n'ya nga pala ako nakikita. Napakamot na lang ako sa ulo.
"Ang clingy naman. Uwi ka na po kasi, I love you too" and just like that she made my heart skip a beat.
