Once Again (PG story Series #2)

~14~

"tita?"

I call her when i saw her in the mini bar sa bahay nila and she's drinking alcohol.

"What's wrong?" I ask, but she continuously drinking

"Tita?" Bigla syang humikbi

"I miss them so much" sabi nya while crying

"I miss my husband and son" umupo ako sa tabi nya. "That's enough tita"hinaplos ko ang braso nya

"I want them to go back! I need them i love them! I miss them so bad!" She started to cry and scream.

Ayos pa to kanina ah

"You know darling, i always drink at night this is my medicine to ease the pain inside of me." She cried like a baby. Sobrang grabe yung iyak nya.

"And today? This is my happy day since the day they passed away. Because God hears my prayer to see my son once more" nagtaka ako sa sinabi nya

"Thank you for bringing my son again" sabi nya ulit

Maya maya biglang napadaan si coen sa tapat namin "migz son! Where have you been? Im looking for you, mommy wants to hug you" nagulat ako nang tawagin nyang anak si Coen

"Tita, he's not migz"

"Darling? C'mon his my son" tumayo si tita pero dahil lasing na sya natutumba tumba na. Buti nalang at andun si coen para tulungan ako. Inakyat na namin si Tita sa kwarto nya dahil lasing na lasing sya.

"Migz, please don't go" hinawakan nya sa kamay si coen at napansin ko ang luha sa paligid ng mata nya.

"I won't mom" napatingin ako kay coen

"Thank you son" ngumiti si tita, "go, rest for tonight" sabi ni coen "ok i will and tomorrow i will cook breakfast for you and for your cousins .I love you" sabi ni tita, " i love you too, mom" sagot ni coen. Kinumutan nya si tita kaya nahimbing na ang tulog.

"Lets sleep" sabi ni coen,lumabas kami at naka titig parin ako sa kanya

"Kailangan lang sakyan ang mga ganun"

"Do you miss her?, Your mom?" Napatingin sya sakin

"Yes" sagot nya

"Bakit di mo sila puntahan"

"They're busy"

"But they are responsible to you"

"Me? Wala akong silbi sa kanila"

"Bakit?"

"They only care for money"

"Did you ask them? Nakipag usap kana ba sa pamilya mo? Naka bonding mo na ba sila?"

"You don't know my family, they only talk for their business partner. Puro nalang pera ang iniisip nila, di nga nila alam kung anong nangyayari samin ngayon eh" napa buntong hininga ako

"Tita lost her family, and you, you lost your family too I hope one day maging maayos na ang lahat"

"Flight ko na bukas" pag iiba nya ng usapan.

"Yes, ingat ka ay bukas pag hinatid ka namin sa airport pasalubungan mo sila Cookie"

"Sure"

"Goodnight" i say

"Goodnight"

Tomorrow morning, nagising ako bigla nang maramdaman kong halos manigas ako sa lamig, i turn off the aircon and sleep again, bigla akong napatingin sa labas ng bahay. "May snow?" napatayo ako agad at tumakbo sa labas ng bahay! Nag laro ako ng snow at sinasalo ang mga snow na bumagsak.
