Jema.
🎶🎶
Is my love too much?
Is it just enough for you, for you?
'Cause it's getting late, would you like to stay, ah
'Cause I'm bad at reading signs.
Mmm, mmm, mmm
'Cause feelings are hard to find
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Feelings are hard, yeah.
🎶🎶
I'm singing while cooking, inspired lang. May kasama pang sayaw yan. Sway, sway, ganern.
Nag text si Deanna that she's on the way home na. Sakto lang kasi patapos na akong magluto.
Misis na misis talaga ang peg, ha Jema?
Since ready naman na yung dinner, pumunta muna ako sa entertainment room namin para tignan si Chelsea.
Hindi ko pa sila nakakausap ni Manang about sa nangyari sa school kanina. Hinayaan ko muna silang magpahinga bago usisain sa incident. Parang pinapalamig muna yung issue.
She's watching Adventure Time with Manang nung pumasok ako ng room. Tumabi ako sa kanya at ipinatong ko ang ulo ko sa lap nya.
"Hey, Mummy. I miss you." she said while kissing me sa cheek.
She gave me loads of kisses. Nakayakap na agad sa leeg ko yung arms nya. Nawala na rin sa TV screen ang attention nya.
Ang extra sweet ng baby Chelsea ko ah. Dati isa o dalawang kiss, enough na sa kanya dahil hindi na raw sya baby, big girl na daw.
Mukhang may atraso sa Mummy nya, kaya ganyan.
"I miss you too, sweetie. How's your day? How's school today?" I asked.
"It's fine, Mum. Same old routine." she timidly replied.
"Anything special you did today? Or maybe you can tell me something. Come on." I said to her encouragingly.
She didn't reply, parang nag iisip pa kung magkekwento sa akin.
"Ma'am Jema, labas na po ako." sabi ni Manang.
Ay salamat, lakas ng pakiramdam ni Manang.
"Sige po, Manang. I-ready nyo na yung table at malapit na rin naman na si Deanna. Para pagdating nya, kakain na tayo." sagot ko.
Pagkalabas ni Manang, umayos ako ng upo at humarap kay Chelsea. Hinawakan ko ang mga kamay nya bago ko sya tinanong uli.
"What happened to you today? Teacher Vanessa told me that you had a fight with your classmate. Why? Tell me what happened. I won't get mad, promise." I said.
Naku Chelsea, mas kabahan ka lalo pag may promise promise na ganyan.
She looked at me then bowed her head. Kaya I hold her chin and itinaas ko ito.
"It's Michael, Mum. He was so mean to me. He pushed me that's why I pushed him too." she started.
"Okay. What did he do to you? And why would he push you? Did he do it first, or you?" I asked.
She was quiet again, tapos parang iiyak na. She's like pouting, kaya pinisil pisil ko kamay nya.
Mukhang mahihirapan tayo paaminin ah. Super daldal ng anak ko tapos ngayon hindi makapagsalita. I need to reassure her na hindi ako magagalit nga.
"I'm waiting, Chelsea. I will listen to whatever you'll gonna tell me. I love you." sabi ko pa.
She took a long, deep breath.
"He said that I'm a putok sa buho kid. At first I'm ignoring him because I don't know what it means. Then he pushed me and shouted, bastard, while laughing. So I pushed him away from me." she explained.
