Just Too Sick To Function

Emma's POV

The air is playing with my hair as I witness the beautiful day

Finally, I'm out of the hospital

It's been 7 years since my dad died

"I miss him"

"Me too honey, me too", my mom responded

"Emma!" , narinig ko ang boses ni Clent sa hindi kalayuan

"Oy Clent!", agad naglalagay ng ngiti sa labi ko

Nagmano ako kay Tita, "Kamusta kana iha?"

I smiled at her, "okay lang tita, ikaw po?"

"Okay lang din naman", she smiled

Brought a warm feeling

"Oh kamusta mission mo?", tanong ni Clent

"Anong mission?"

"Yung kay.. kay Marcus", sabi niya

I smiled at him, not answering him

"Oh kay ano nalang, kay.. sino pala yon? Yung bagong kaibigan mo?"

"Si Meryl", I gave him a weird look

"Oo si Meryl"

"Wala lang, okay lang naman, ang komportable nga niyang makasama"

"Edi okay yan, may bff kanang babae"

"Yeah right, kala ko si Margarette lang yung choice ko"

We laughed

Narinig na naming tinawag kami sa mga mama namin

"Let's go, let's have lunch together"

Nagtinginan kami ni Clent, we smiled at each other

"Alright"

-----------------------------

We had a great lunch and great conversations ofcourse

"I was wondering if I could visit the house before going back to the hospital"

My mom looked at me, " oh sige, sure", I hear hesitation,"kung yan gusto mo, ba't naman hindi?", she smiled

I looked at her and smiled, "Thanks ma"

When we arrived infront of the house, inilagay ko ang shopping bag sa likod na naglalaman ng tatlong cute blouses, ibinili ni tita Mary para sa'kin, gift niya daw

Excited akong pumasok sa bahay

The smell of home

I miss this baby

The house is still clean like how I left it

"Magpalit lang ako", sabi ng mama ko at dumiretso siya sa kwarto niya

I went into my room also

It kinda feel empty as some of my stuffs are at the hospital

I miss staying here, thinking about what Meryl said yesterday, instantly made me think I should go back here

Mom went inside my room, nakita ko siyang may dalang regalo.

"What's that?", I asked

"Maliit na surpresa lang", she paused

It shaped rectangle, it's covered with color brown gift wrapper

"Been hiding this for years", dugtong niya
