Kinabukasan, maaga akong nagising dahil na rin sa hindi ko alam kung nakatulog ba ako o hindi, e.

Sino ba naman kasi ang makakatulog nang mahimbing?

Kagabi, bahagya akong nakaramdam ng pag-aalala kay Nanay dahil na rin sa mga nangyari sa dinner na iyon! Usually, my Nanay acts so strong pero sa totoo lang, minsan, tinatago niya lang ang weakness niya at madalas, kay Tatay niya lang pinapakita and that's how Tatay too when it comes to her. Well, mediyo visible nga lang kay Tatay.

With all those worries from last night, naisipan kong makitulog dapat kay Nanay. She was with Meredith and Emith pero gusto ko lang din mayakap ang Nanay because somehow, I know she needs it from me. Madalas, Oo, mediyo Tatay's boys kaming lahat pero with Nanay-- it is different too! Nanay's boys din talaga kami! At okay lang naman sa akin! Tsaka, kahit si Eero nga, mas gugustuhin nun makitulog lagi kasama si Nanay, e! Siya iyong pinaka sa lahat kasi.

Nang papunta sana ako sa kwarto niya kagabi ay nadatnan kong kausap niya si Tatay via video call sa may terrace at sa tingin ko'y hindi niya rin naman ako napansin. Eavesdropping is wrong pero hindi ko rin napigilan lalo na't narinig kong pinag-uusapan nila ako.

Nanay and Tatay are currently in LDR kaya ganoong oras sila kung mag-usap. The adjustments and sacrifices they have to go through is piercing my heart deep but I am amazed as to how they are staying so strong amidst everything that we are going through!

And yeah, I can still clearly recall their conversations last night.

"As much as possible, let's not pressure EL, Nay! I want him to be all willing! Yes, they do have the point pero it's just may be, I am not doing all out! Kulang pa siguro ang effort ko! So don't worry! You did great, Nay! Let us always remember that their happiness and choices when it comes to their future are our main priority! Alam natin parehas ang pakiramdam na kinokontrol at hindi natin gagawin iyon sa mga bata." rinig kong tugon ni Tatay. I am deeply touched pero at the same time I feel really worried lalo na at naririnig ko siyang umuubo.

He seemed unwell.

"I know, Tay. Don't worry, okay? And, tungkol nga pala doon sa report na pinapagawa mo, I'm almost done! Isesend ko na lang sa iyo around 2 days from now! Okay? Tsaka, iniinom mo ba ang mga gamot mo? Nasabi ko na kay Rob na iremind ka from time to time! Tsaka, 'yang ubo mo, ano ba? Tulungan mo sarili mo diyan!" Nanay suddenly nags.

Hindi na surpresa.

Narinig kong bahagyang natawa si Tatay. "Ikaw naman kasi gamot nito! I miss you, Nay! I miss you a lot and the kids! Pero, mas extra sa 'yo! Ubos na kasi talaga supply ko kaya ganito nangyayari sa akin! Huhuhu!" si Tatay and doing all these pabebe crying style.

Lakas maka-bagets!

"I miss you too! I'm just trying to fix things so I can fly there with you for the mean time. EL and JM plus Mia are here and, they suggested to do such kaya I am considering! H'wag ka na mag reklamo! They'll be fine. Nandito naman sila Mommy at Nana. I just really want to make sure that you're okay! We can't risk your health, Tay! Ayaw kong maging kumpyansa. I rather lose the company than lose you! And you can't stop me, you can't make me, okay? Refill natin 'yang supply na sinasabi mo!" si Nanay at natatawa ito.

Alam na.

I sighed after.

Bitter sweet. I'm feeling it.
