(De-Leñdrez Series #1) Chasing The Star

Chapter 37

#ChasingTheStar37

Hindi ko talaga alam paano napa-payag ni Mom si Dad na pauwiin na ako sa PH. And Kuya. Hindi ko alam how he convince mom to go here in Barcelona.

"Mom..." I call her.

"Yes, Safi?" Mom said and looking at me.

I shrugged off. "How did you convinced dad?"

She smiled at me and held my hand. "You're dad love me so much...i just talk to him, like how you're brother convinced me para puntahan ka."

Hindi ko naiintindihan. I grow up thinking na walang family sa bahay. They we're not like a family. Hindi talaga. I feel that i grow up all by myself. Hindi ko alam na mahal na mahal pala nila ang isat-isa like how i saw her eyes sparked when she said that dad love him so much.

"But how?" Naguguluhan na tanong ko.

I feel so alienated. Parang sila lang ang nagkaka-intindihan. Parang hindi ako belong. Feeling ko tuloy ampon ako. Hindi ko kamukha si kuya, si Dad... and mom? Hindi ko alam!

"I talked to him like how we talked things." Sabi niya.

Ugh! Bakit parang ganito. Parang may tinatago sila sa akin.

Should i give in? Sasabihin naman nila kung gusto talaga nila eh.

I should be thankful dahil mapapa-aga ang uwi ko sa PH. Hindi ko pa nasasabi kay Lance na uuwi ako. I wanted to surprise him.

"Did you love, Dad?" I asked and mom's lips parted.

"Of course i do. I really do love you're father." Sabi ni mama na parang kilig na kilig siya.

I nodded. "Pero bakit dati? I didn't see that you love him. Wala kang affection sa kanya? I didn't understand the set-up Mom..." I said.

Mama looked at me and smiled.

"You may never seen us having affection in each other dahil magkalayo kami. We we're at Canada and he's at Barcelona. We have differences of you're dad. We're not compatible in each term. But we really love each other. We supported each other. You may never seen kasi palagi akong nasa trip, or should i say us. He loves accompanied me when i have flights. He used to love travelling because of me. Pag kami lang ang magkasama we we're like teenagers who has crush on each other." Mama said.

Ang saya ng mga mata niya. Bakit hindi ko nakita dati to? Bakit mali ang interpretation ko sa pamilya. Bakit ganun?

"G--ganun po ba? Akala ko talaga hindi pamilya ang tawag satin dahil may sarili kayong mundo ni Papa." I said guilty of what i was thinking about them.

Mama hug me. "I'm sorry if you feel like that. I'm sorry for being away in you and your kuya. But your father and I working so hard para magkakasama na tayo sa iisang bahay. But of course it doesn't mean na wala na akong trips to other countries, I still have that because that's my work. I don't want to meddle at your father politics mind. I hate being in politics world, Safi." I smile.

Kung meron man na magkapareho kami ni mama iyon ay ang ayaw namin pareho sa mundo ng politika.

"Oh, I didn't know about being mismatched in every terms can lead to a lifetime." Sabi ko and give mom a smile.

Pwede pala yun. Kahit hindi kayo magkasundo sa ibang mga bagay, pero kayo pa rin. I liked how my parents supportive to each other.

Mama was looking at me like she wanna asks something. But she can't find the right words to starts.

"Ma, why?" I asked.

It's look like creepy na ganyan siya makatingin sa akin.

She shook her head. "Nothing. But you're such a beautiful girl." He said.
