Pa, busy ka?

For you anak, I'll always have time.
What's the matter?

Bakit mo alam?

Well, di ka naman magtetext kung wala, di ba?

Right.

So? Girl problems?

Why are you on point today?

I knew it! Hahaha!
Sabi kasi ng Mama mo, mukhang stressed ka lately.
Lagi ka daw tulala. She's worried.

Well, I need advice.

Hmm?

How did you make it up to Mama
after you guys broke up?

Well, I tried to prove her na I'm not the young Miles anymore. Iyong immature at puro sarili lang iniisip.

Ang problema kasi namin noon ng Mama mo, we didn't communicate well. Also, we failed to give each other time. So when I asked her to give me another chance, I tried my best to be always present. Hindi man ako palagi nasa tabi niya, but ma-feel ba niya na hindi na siya nag-iisa. I also learned to tell her my thoughts, my feelings. To not bottle things up para di sumabog kapag napuno na.

Hmm. But how did you know you still love her?

Not once did she ever leave my mind.
I always look for your Mama in every girl I meet.
Then I realized na wala na talaga akong ibang mamahalin. It will always be Abby.

Hmm...

You know what Aki, you like that girl.

Ha? Sino, Papa?

Whoever you're thinking while asking me these questions. I'm pretty sure you like her. 😊

Luh, wala nga eh.

Bakit ka pa nagtanong ng ganito kung wala?
Don't deny it, Aki. It will only hurt you in the end.
Wala naman masama kung may nagugustuhan ka.

I don't know, Pa.

Be honest with yourself, anak.
Ikaw lang mahihirapan kung di mo aaminin sa sarili mo yang nararamdaman mo.
Kung sino man ang naiisip mo ngayon, tell her how you feel.
