All about Joseph

Home

Journal,

Considering the days that has gone by, it 's been days since I heard things about Lamarte and my dad. Well, dad still does his regular phone call to my mom and Claude but not to me. And Lamarte is still nowhere to be found. I asked Richard if they have any news about him but there was nothing. Is it good news? I asked mom to tell that he should be back here or the other way around, that we should go back to Manila but he refuses it, maybe it's because he not competent that Lamarte just stop ruining our lives and he just carried on with his. If I were dad, I wouldn't believe it too but it's days already. And mom is already frustrated here, wait, she likes it here but she wants to go home now and she wants to go back to work. Federico and Rebecca already went back to Manila after the day that Federico brought her the news that her mom, Andrea is declared free of cancer and Darren was so happy about it especially my dear so she left us here. But she promised that she would be back here after they have settled their bills in the hospital. Her siblings also made an urgent flight back here from abroad just to see their mother. That is touching and I'm glad that she's fine but how about us? HAHAHAHA. 

Mamita was displeased of what Rebeca did because they made a trip home without informing us right away. She also pointed out that if it was not for me Federico would not be found and these "bad" events won't happen. Mamita has her point but the whole family, our family joined me in my decision in doing this, they supported me with this so, I guess, there's no turning back now? 

"Don't be mad, honey, we're the ones who supported Joseph in his decision and I think that decision was for the good." papito said.

"For the good? Look at what happened! Our family is a t stake now because of Rebecca." I want to argue but I don't want to make the conversation even worse. It's a fight between papito and mamita.

"Come to think of it, honey, our family became closer! See! we're here altogether!"

"No! Were not! Stephen is not here! And his still mad at our Joseph." She has point too.

"Just let God do His thing." I think papito can't argue anymore because he already exclaimed God's name. HAHAHA.

"Are you putting my faith here in question?" Now mamita's mad.

"No, no, no, you don't understand." Papito said calmly.

"You're the one who can't understand, Javert!" she said on top of her lungs.

"You better go out now, Jo. I'll take it from here." I'm not doing anything, I'm just watching. HAHA. Come to think of it, mamita's right, it's all my fault and there's really no turning back now. The best thing I could do is cope up? No, not cope up but to live my life.

"Hey, I'm talking to you!" mamita is in rage now.

"Okay, papito, sorry I couldn't help you."

"Good, just go to Geoff or something, play with Claude?"

"Okay, pop. Good luck with mamita, by the way."

I left the room and texted Richard for any updates.

J: Anything about Lamarte?

R: There's nothing new. The report said the he's still here in Manila but there's no sight of him or anything. I've been with your father for many days now and nothing suspicious is happening.

J: Okay. Is my dad fine? 

R: Yeah, he's fine.

J: How about you?

R: What do you mean how about me?

J: You've been working hard for us so I think I have some responsibility asking you if you're okay.
