Chapter 1: The Comeback

"So how was Spain, Baby? I bet nag-enjoy ka don kaya di mo namiss si papa." I was sitting on the shotgun seat of my papa's montero sport habang pinagmamasdan ko yung paligid. Di ko akalain na babalik ako dito after 6 years. Madami nadin ang nagbago. Changes..

"Ofcourse papa, I missed you. Ikaw kaya ang nang-iwan sakin don." Nauna sa'kin si papa ng six months na bumalik dito sa Philippines. Kaya naiwan kamin ni mama at kuya Andrew sa Spain. Ngayon, si mama at kuya nalang ang nandoon. Kamusta na kaya sila?

"Alam mo namang kailangang bumalik ni papa dito eh. you know, business."

"Yeah, whatever." I said.

*Phone rings*

"Hello, ma?.. Yes.. kasama ko na po si papa."

[" Are you sure okay ka lang jan? gusto mo sumunod nadin ko jan?"]

"Ma naman, okay lang ako. No need." Okay. Here we go again. Mukhang pagtatalunan nanaman namin ni mama ang paguwi niya dito.

[" pero your Dad is a busy man. Di ka nya maaalagaan!"]

"Ma naman, malaki na po ako. You told me that I need to be independent, right? Tsaka busy kadin naman eh."

[" haay. osya sige na. Basta paguwi ninyo magpahinga ka na kaagad. Eat well, don't skip meals, okay? Be a goo-"]

"Be a good girl and don't forget to call you every day. Ma, kabisado ko na yang sasabihin mo eh." More than 10 times nya nang inulit yon sabihin sa'kin. Imposible na makalimutan ko pa yon sa dami ng beses ko 'tong narinig. Akala ata may memory gap na ako.

"Don't worry sweetheart. she's with me. she will be fine!" sigaw ni papa na parang alam nya yung pinaguusapan namin ni mama. Well, we both know how protective mom is.

"Papa's right, Mom."

["okay, fine. i give up. just call me kung may problema. i'm hanging up now. Take care, baby."]

"okay, ma. love you."

"I Miss you sweetie!" Sumigaw naman si papa para marinig siya ni mama sa phone.

[" tell your papa to shut up."]

"Pa, di ka daw namiss ni mama."

"oh really? hmmp." sabi ni papa na kunyaring nagtatampo. Hala, nag-pout pa. Chuu! Ang cute ni Papa.

["Andrea! I didn't say that! I only sai-"]

"ahh, so you missed papa?" pang-aasar ko kay mama, at biglang namatay nalang yung call. naasar ata talaga. pero ang cute kasi talaga nila papa. Para parin silang young couple.

"By the way, Andrea. Naasikaso ko na yung papers na kailangan ayusin sa papasukan mong school." Bigla namang naging seryoso si papa. "eto yung mga requirments at yung schedule mo.Since saturday ngayon, meron ka pang sunday para magprepare." Syempre kailangan ko padin asikasuhin yung iba pang kailangan. Although naayos na ni papa ung mga paper works, may mga dapat padin akong asikasuhin.
