EMAIL DUOLOGY (Book 2 of 2)
As six years passed of being away, Demi finds her way back to where it all started with a will to reach the dream she's been aiming to become.
But then again, roads aren't always that smooth, because on her way to her des...

"I also want him to know that I miss him, Mommy. I miss Daddy a lot."
Arren's words kept on repeating themselves in my mind. I want to tell her na uuwi na kami, na malapit na niyang makita at makasama yung Daddy niya but I couldn't take her hopes that high yet.
Especially when Zecky's not replying or even calling me back.
I started to get worried last night and him not replying until now is making it worst.
Impossible naman kasi na hindi pa niya nahahawakan man lang yung phone niya. Impossibleng hindi pa niya nakikita yung mga messages at calls ko.
So how could he not even respond to me even just a single word?
"Demi," Mavy called.
Napatingin ako sa kanya.
"Tinatanong kita kung anong oras tayo aalis?"
"H-Ha?" tanong ko. Kunot-noo akong tinignan ni Mavy and I tried to act normal dahil nakatingin sila lahat sa'kin. "Kayo bahala," sagot ko na lang.
"Is there something wrong anak?" Mama asked.
Agad akong umiling.
"Nothing Ma," I smiled and focused on eating.
But to be honest, I couldn't focus during the breakfast dahil hinihintay ko pa rin yung reply niya. Because I couldn't deny it or not, I'm badly worried for him.
Okay naman kasi kami noong iwanan niya ako sa airport. Okay naman kami.
Kaya hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit bigla na lang nagkaganito. Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit hindi niya man lang ako maisingit sa kung ano mang ginagawa niya.
He even said he'll make time for me.
I probably wouldn't be like this if he didn't say words like that because that's the thing about his words, it always leaves a mark.
No matter how shallow or deep his words mean. It still matters. It always does.
I want to try and message him again but it's Arren's birthday — it's our daughter's birthday. I shouldn't let myself get distracted that much.
And of course, what's keeping my shit altogether was his words.
He said he'll be waiting for me.
He'll wait.
And I hope he is.

"Mommy! Let's go there!" Arren pointed at the toy store she saw not far from us. Hindi pa ako nakakasagot, tumakbo na siya palapit doon.
I was about to run after her pero biglang nag-ring yung phone ko.
"Mavy, sundan niyo naman si Arren," sabi ko bago ko sinagot yung tawag. "Hello?"
