Love in Music (Fly High Series #1)

Chapter 14

"Mommy! Mommy! Are you leaving us again?"

I hugged my mom as I cried harder.

"Hussh my love. Mom will be back okay?" she said with teary eyes. Holding her two luggage.

Daddy is just standing in front of the door and looking at us.

Bago palang makalabas si Mommy ng room ay hinawakan na sya sa magkabilang braso ni Daddy.

"Why are you doing this to me?! To us?! It's not even helping!" daddy said. Nagpipigil na din sya ng luha.

"Arthur look, this is the only thing that can make me happy!"

"Then how about us?! Kami ng anak mo?! Do you really want to go in jail?!"

"Wala akong kasalanan Arthur! Paninindigan ko lahat!"

"Please Elaine, ayokong pagsisihan mo lahat, mahal kita. Mahal ka namin ng anak mo"

Nakatingin lang sa isang direksyon si Mommy at umiling.

Wala na ngang nagawa si Dad at tuluyan ng umalis si Mommy. Dad hugged me as tears pooled down his eyes.

"Miss Lianne? Ready na po lunch nyo"

Napamulat ang aking mga mata sa tawag sa akin ni Manang. Mariin kong pinikit muli ang aking mga mata at naramdaman ko ang mga luha sa aking pisngi. That dream of mine.
T-that wasn't just a dream, that happened when I was really young. Ano bang meron doon mommy?

Hindi ko alam kung bakit nga ba umalis si Mommy that time, i don't know the reason behind that. I was 6 years old back then, when I just heard them fighting with something, that's why, mom decided to leave dad, perhaps she came back one day, that time. Oh gosh, I missed the both of them.

Inayos ko ang sarili ko at lumabas na ng room ko.

Pag diretso ko ng dining ay bahagya akong nagulat sa nadatnan ko.

Nakalinya ang mga kasambahay na may hawak na mga pula at puting lobo. Ang guwardya naman naka assign sa may lobby ng condo ay may hawak na banner. Ang lamesa ay puno ng iba't ibang mga pagkain. Mas ikinagulat ko si Daddy na nanggaling sa likod ng mga kasambahay at may dala dalang cake. While tanda is beside her, smiling like my dad.

"Dad bakit i mean how- what's this?" naguguluhan kong tanong.

"Did you forget it already darling? Happy birthday dear" lumapit sya sa akin at itinapat sa akin ang cake na hawak nya na may nakasinding dila.

I genuinely smiled at him, kay tanda, at sa ibang nandoon din. Bago ko inihipan ang kandila ay mariin akong pumikit and wish something.

"Thank you dad" nilagay nya ang cake sa lamesa at agad akong niyakap.

"You're welcome anak. I may not be the best dad for you, but I assure you anak, I only want the best for you."

I nodded. Pinatong ko ang aking baba sa balikat ni daddy. This hug makes me comfortable. I miss dad, I miss my mom. I miss us.

"Sooner or later, you'll understand everything" he kissed my head as she let go off me.

"If you love me, then why wouldn't you invite Mom just this time?" I sadly asked.

Dad's face immediately changed. I can almost see anger, sadness and pain in his eyes.

He smiled at me and held my hand.

"Enjoy your day my love. I'll be leaving later on, you're free to go somewhere with your friends or it's all up to you"

My eyes widened.
