ajosharaneta: Sky, kaya ko pa.

sdhuangdee: Ayoko na. Bakit ba pinaglalaban mo pa?

ajosharaneta: Hindi pa ba sapat 'yong rason na mahal kita? Kaya ko namang maghintay e.

It was already 2 years ago when we had our last conversation. I really don't know what to feel about this. 2 years have passed but the wound is still fresh, it was still hurting. I though, I'm already okay and already move-on, but I was wrong. Until now, I still encounter sleepless nights because I'm thinking of him, how is he?, how does his career goes? Hindi ko alam. Ayaw ko na lang mangielam. 

Ako 'yong umalis, hindi pwedeng ako 'yong maghabol.

"Anak.." 

I put down my phone immediately when I heard Mom knocked on my door. I was zoning out again! I already graduated with my masteral in Filming, but I felt incomplete. I'm happy but not that really happy. 

May kulang.

"Yes po, ma?" I looked at her as she sat down beside me.

"Doing good?" She asked.

"Yes, ma." I faked a smile.

"You can go home." Mama nods.

"W-What, ma? Nasa bahay naman ako." 

"You have your enough money, you can go back to the Philippines." She cleared. "Natupad mo na mga pangarap mo."

Right! I've been working for how many months in a big company right after I finished my Masteral. I have enough money for myself, for my living at natupad ko na mga pangarap ko. Pagkabalik ko naman ng Manila, paniguradong makakakuha agad ako ng trabaho. I got lots of connections now a days!

"Pero, you should take care. Patok na patok na ang pangalan mo ngayon. Hindi lang dito sa Florida, panigurado sa Pinas din. You've already Directed lots of shorts films!" Mama proudly said. "Tapos, meron ka pang 2 fim na ikaw ang assistant director. Paano na?"

"I can take care of myself, ma." I chuckled a bit and held her hand.

"I'm so proud of you. Pero, panigurado akong may mas proud pa sayo. Nasa pinas." Mama smiled at me.

Upon hearing that, parang nabigla ako. Nakaramdam ng sakit ulit.

"Sino iniisip mo? Si Kuya Dan mo. Tsk!" Mama shook her head, teasing me. 

"Ah, ma naman. San po pala ako pwedeng tumira? Pwede pong tumira kay Kuya Dan?" I asked Mom.
