CHAPTER 22

FAMILY

Pumasok na ako sa loob, andon pa si mommy na for sure hinihintay ako.

"Mom magoahinga na po kayo" sabi ko sakanya.

"Baby can we talk?" si mommy.

"Of course mommy"

Pumunta kami sa taas at doon umupo sa terrace.

"Anak, may balak ka bang sagutin si Noah?" paninimula ni mommy, i sip on my juice.

"Why Mom?" tanong ko naman.

"I'm worried" aniya pa.

"I will be fine mommy"

"Lay, I don't want you to get hurt, You've already been in so much pain, so many times" aniya pa at bakas talaga sa tono nya ang pag aalala.

"Mom, that's life we need to be hurt, we all gonna felt pain, And that's the thing about pain, it demands to be felt" sabi ko naman.

"But just because it demands to be felt that doesn't mean that you can't be free from it" ani pa no mommy.

"Pain will never left us mom, just what you always say to me, Everything or everyone can left as but not pain" sabi ko pa.

Mommy always tells me that especially nung nag break kami ni Noah halos araw araw nya ng sabihin yan sa akin.

"Yeah, but Lay please take care of yourself" si mommy. hindi naman ako sumagot. "You took as care so much, pero yung sarili mo hindi" aniya pa.

"Mommy nothing's more important than family" sabi ko naman. "You, Daddy and Nico you are the most important person in my life, kaya nga pinatawad ko si daddy eh kasi mahal ko sya at importante sya sa akin"

"Yeah, your dad is important to you and you love him it just became more easier because you have a soft heart" si mommy.

"Thanks mom" sabi ko naman at niyakap sya.

"But you forgot someone to that most important people in your life" si mommy tiningala ko naman sya nakayakap parin sakanya.

"Who?" taka namang tanong ko. Mommy smirk.

"Noah!" aniya pa.

"Mommy naman eh" masyado kaming close ni mommy kaya alam nya na kung bakit ganon na kang ang naging respond ko.

"Don't worry baby he's going to be the father of my apo's" ani pa mommy.

"Mom! I still don't have plan to get married!" tumawa naman sya.

"You're already 23 Lay and I want to have some apo's" aniya pa.

"Mommy naman!"

"Noah loves you so much Lay, I can see it and I can feel it how much he loves you, so I'm good with him" ani pa mommy. Hindi naman ako sumagot. "Something's wrong Lay?" si mommy.

"Mom can you give me the numbers of your investigators?" tanong ko ki mommy, kumunot naman ang noo nya at humiwalay sa pagkakayakap.

"Why?" kunoot noong tanong nya.

"May gusto lang ako malaman and I want na tauhan natin na matagal na para sigurado ako sa mga makukuha kong info"

"Lay, sino ang pa iimbistigahan mo?" si mommy.

"Mom sasabihin ko sayo just please"

"Okay fine, pwede ba naman ako tumanggi sayo" aniya pa  "Can i come tomorrow sa coffee shop? hindi mo naman kasama si Noah eh" aniya pa.

"Sure mom!" sabi ko sabay ngiti ng napakalaki.

"Let's sleep" aniya.

"Goodnight mommy, I love you"

"I love you more baby" si mommy sabay halik sa noo ko.

"Puntahan ko lang po si Nico"

"Nass room namin sya" ani pa mommy.

Kaya naman doon na ako din dumeretso. At pagpasok namin ay nag haharutan su daddy and Nico.

"Ate! you're gonna sleep here also?" tanong ng kapatid ko na napakalaki ng ngiti.

"Why don't you sleep here also Lay?" si dad.

"Oo nga namimiss na kita baby di na din kita nakakatabi" si mommy.

Well malaki kasi ang bed ni na mommy kaya naman kasya talaga kaming apat.

"Mom! diba ako ang baby mo!" si Nico.

"Oh yes, kayong dalawa mi Ate ang baby ko" si mommy.

"But Ate is not baby anymore she even has a boyfriend kuya Noah!" ani pa ng kapatid ko na naka pout.

"You're so cute!" sabi ko pa at pinisil ang pisngi nya.

"Let's sleep!" aniya pa.

Si mommy sa kabilang gilid ako ang katabi nya at katabi ko din si Nico at sa kabila namang gilid ay si daddy.

I still remember the days I prayed for the things that I have now.....For our family to be united again as one.
