#BG35 : Nightmare

Chapter 35

Until now , I still don't understand.  Of all the people in this world. Bakit ako pa? Why these kinds of instances are happening to me? Is this is the meaning of the real world?
 

I was sitting at the waiting area of our school , holding my own hands , silently praying.

It was a wet day , the clouds are crying since last night. Seems like sharing their sympathy.

I glances around and the area was clear from my fellow students. Nakauwi na pala silang lahat. For sure , they are already with their  family. I look up and bit my lips to control the warning liquid in my eyes.
 

''Hija , umuwi na po tayo. Lalong lumalakas ang ulan'' Taytay Hilario said all of the sudden. Kanina nya pa paulit ulit na sinasabi  sakin ang mga salitang iyon.

I didn't responded  instead I stoop , clinching my fist on my lap. I don't want to say any words. I'll just wait.
 

Ilang minuto na ulit ang nakalipas at wala pa ring dumadating na pamilyar na sasakyan. Mas lalong bumibigat ang mga likido sa mata ko.

''He will come right?'' I asked Taytay looking at the main gate.

Narinig ko ang malalim na pagbuntong hininga nya. Napakamot sa ulo , hindi alam kung sasagutin ba ang tanong ko dahil sya mismo ay hindi alam kung may inaantay nga ba ako.

His gaze sends sympathy for me , even I , I pity my own self. The chances in me was fading little by little as minutes passes by but I still holding this small hope of mine.

 
''Tara na Hija. Siguradong nagaalala na ang Momsy mo sayo.'' He said , ending my hope.

I shook my head blatantly. Hindi ako aalis dito 'gat hindi sya dumarating.

Like what he'd always do , even how busy he was , in meeting or not. He always clear his schedule at 4pm to fetch me , then go back to his office again after securing my presence in our home.

That was him. He belong in the busiest world of business but still doing his best to spend time with me. All he ever wanted is to be the greatest Daddy every child dream for. Loving your kids wasn't enough , it's not always about the love but also about the time you shares together.  I'm not praying for him to be good cause he is already, not until last night and at this very moment.

I lean down my head again and pray silently. God , he will come right? I know he will. Maybe late but still come. I'm hoping.
 

I heard Taytay sneeze. Agad akong napatingin sa kanya. Kakagaling nya nga lang pala sa sakit and still currently suffering with that cough and cold. I sighed , kawawa naman sya. I witnesses how Naynay worries when he was sick and I can't afford na magkasakit ulit sya dahil sakin.

''5 more minutes'' I muttered , almost whispering. He nodded and seat next to me , helping me glancing around.
 

I look at my wristwatch he've given for my last year birthday , following every move of its long hand.

You still have 5 minutes Dada. Please just come. I promise I'll forget everythings happens. Just come and be with us , AGAIN.

Tay suddenly stood up and get my roller bag , the time was now up. Ayoko pang tumayo , kaya ko pang maghintay. I don't care about the weather , about my hungry tummy but then I think I need to face the reality. I stood up and followed Taytay with my heavy feet. He open the back seat door for me , for the last time I glances around but there's no trace of the one I am waiting.
