Nathania Jane Life's Journey

Chapter 22

REGINA'S POV:

Hi baby! Pwede bang gumising ka na? I missed you so much! You don't know how happy am I after hearing those from Doc! And seeing you na wala nang tubo at kung ano-anong mga kinabit sa'yo! Please wake baby! Promise ni Mommy hinding hindi ka na masasaktan ulit?! Gumising ka lang please!

*Unti-unting idinilat ni Thania ang kaniyang mga mata at inilibot sa buong sulok ng kwarto*

REGINA: Hi baby! *Masayang sambit nito kasabay ng pagpatak ng kaniyang mga luha*

THANIA: Why are you crying?............ Mom?

REGINA: I-I-I thought you lost your memories again?! Are you alright baby? Don't worry Mommy is okay *sabay ngiti*

THANIA: If you're happy then why are you crying? Is there something wrong again?

REGINA: Masaya lang ang Mommy baby *sabay ngiti*

THANIA: Could you please stop it Mom? *Tumulo na rin mga luha*

REGINA: *Pinunas ang mga luha at ngumiti pagkatapos* Oh ayan na oh ngumingiti na ang Mommy. Are you hungry baby?

THANIA: Mom where is Daddy? Did he still go to Italy? Did he still leaves us?

REGINA: Uhm...

*Dumating si Herminio*

HERMINIO: No! I didn't leave! *Lumapit sa kinaroroonan ng kaniyang mag-ina* Hi Hon! *Sabay halik* Hi baby! *Sabay halik kay Thania*

THANIA: Are you staying for good? You're not going to leave us anymore? *Mas bumuhos pa ang mga luha*

REGINA: Yes! He's not going to leave us! He's been so excited to tell you the day na nag-away tayo? The day you left? The day na pinaalis kita nang bahay.

THANIA: Then why you didn't texted me nor called me?

REGINA: I called you, many times! I tried to reach you out but you're not picking up your phone?!

THANIA: You called me? I didn't know it?! My phone is on my bag because I thought you're not going to look for me anymore?!

REGINA: Yes! Many times. Nong nawala ka na sa paningin ko, nong hindi na kita mahagilap, pumasok agas ako ng bahay, sa kwarto at triny kitang tawagan but I failed? Ni isang tawag ko wala kang sinagot. Alam ko namang mali ako anak eh and pinagsisisihan na ni Mommy ang nagawa niya? Sana mapatawad mo ang Mommy?

HERMINIO: May pagkain pa ba Hon? *Singit nito*

REGINA: Wala na Hon. Sorry akala ko kase di ka uuwi ehh? Bili ka nalang ha? *Sabay ngisi*

THANIA: Can I eat fries and fried chicken? I'm hungry too? Can we order Jollibee?

HERMINIO: Of course! *Sabay tingin kay Regina*

REGINA: *Sinamaan ng tingin si Herminio*

HERMINIO: If?...

THANIA: *Nakita ang pagsama ng tingin ni Regina* Just buy me food that I can eat Dad! *Sabay pilit na ngiti*

HERMINIO: How about you Hon?

REGINA: Sasama na ako at kung ano pa bilhin mo!! *Sabay tayo at lapag ng kaniyang phone sa may desk malapit sa kama ni Thania*

HERMINIO: Sinong titingin sa anak mo? Tsaka pagkain lang naman nayin bibilhin ko ehh. Bakit kailangan pa sumama?

REGINA: Sige na tara na! Wala nang madaming satsat diyan!

HERMINIO: Naninigurado ka ba Hon? Kung aakalain mo na namang may babae ako nagkakamali ka? Hahaha! Umiiral na naman pagkaselosa mo eh!

REGINA: Naman! May pagkatarantado ka pa naman! Tara na? You'll be fine right Thania? Babalik din kami agad ha?
