CHAPTER 19
Useless
I woke up early in the morning. It's 3am, and imagine I only have 2 hours of sleep. I can't sleep properly. I don't know why. I get up and wear my jacket before I went directly in my room's terrace.
The cold breeze of air blown in my face. It shivers me, so I hugged my body. The strands of my hair we're messy because of the wind. It's already month of August. I wonder what changes I have made?
I sat on the chair, looking upon the towers, buildings and other establishment nearby, you can all see the reflecting lights of the city. I felt lonely today. I don't know why? I wanted to cry deep inside but I can't cry. I don't know. I'm not happy lately. Siguro stress lang 'to.
I keep on looking up the stars. It shines brightly and it is so refreshing to see this kind of scenery. I closed my eyes for seconds and took a deep breath. Maya pa ay may kumatok. Kaya pumasok na ako sa aking kwarto at binuksan ang pinto.
"Mom," I was shocked because Mom's seems so active! 'Yung tipong hindi pa siya nakatulog. Or sadyang naninibago lang siya?
"I got you a glass of milk." I closed the door and saw Mom's putting the glass of milk in my side table.
Umupo si Mommy sa kama at tumingin-tingin.
"Ang aga pa Ziya para lumabas sa veranda. You might get sick." She smiled half worried.
"Hindi po ako makatulog." I sat beside Mom. Ilang minutong walang nagsasalita.
I know I'm too harsh. But you know, I lived alone. Even Mommy and Kuya Dell knows that I don't get easily attach to Mom. It hurts me that I somewhat lost my sense of being a daughter, but to tell you honestly, I am craving for my parents' attention. It's just that I don't want to cause them to hate me more. Especially what happened years ago.
Suddenly Mom held my hand.
"Can you do me a favor?"
I was shock with Mom's sentence. Kaya kumunot ang noo ko.
"What do you mean, Mom?" I asked back.
Trying to figure out what Mom's going to say.
"Please talk to your company CEO to lay down the issue slush fund of your Dad."
My eyes opened as well as my mouth.
"Huh? Anong ibigsabihin-" Mom cut me off.
"They released the article regarding to your Dad's slush fund. Ziya, please do something. Hindi mo alam 'to?"
Umiling ako.
"I didn't know what happened, I'm busy with the magazines interview yesterday."
