The Heart's Cure (The Heart Series #1)

CHAPTER 5

Nakauwi kami ni mom sa bahay. I went up to my room first to wash and change my clothes before I got downstairs again to help my mom cook our dinner. My mom is the type to always be in the kitchen.

Ayaw ni mom na mga maids ang nagluluto not that she doesn't want their food but because she wants to cook for is always...nagpapatulong lamang siya kapag may mga parties na ginaganap sa bahay.

And because of that, lumaki ako na marunong maluto ng iba't-ibang putahe. While I was still young tinuturuan na ako ni mom sa mga ganitong bagay...they don't spoil me at ayaw nilang lumaki ako na walang alam na gawaing bahay para kapag dumating na ako sa kolehiyo at malayo ako sa kanila makakaya kong mamuhay mag-isa..

They don't want me to grow up like a señorita, always ordering someone to do the job for me..they wanted me to grow like normal kids and not like a spoiled brat.

My mom and I finished cooking.. I was making the table and I made sure that everything is perfect since minsan lang ito mangyari.

My dad is a doctor and the hospital he works in far away from where our house is meanwhile my mom is an architect and the company she works at is near our subdivision. Some of you may think, bakit hindi nalang kami doon tumira malapit sa pinagtratrabahuhan ng tatay ko?

Well pinag-usapan na nila ni mom yun, they decided na dito nalang kami since ayaw nilang gumastos muli para lumipat kami sa panibagong bahay... Dad visits once every two weeks, every saturday.. hindi lang siya nakadalaw nitong nakaraang dalawang linggo, isang buwan siyang hindi nakauwi kaya naman maraming niluto sa mommy, she knows that dad misses her food..

Once I was satisfied with the set-up of the table I went upstairs para makapagpalit muli dahil nadumihan na ang damit ko at saka basa na ito dahil sa pawis at tubig kanina.

I wore a simple dress that I love wearing even though nasa bahay lang kami. After I was done preparing, I went downstairs at naghintay na dumating si dad. It was almost 8pm when my dad arrived, once he opened the door tumakbo ako agad para yakapin siya.

"Dad!!" I exclaimed

I hugged my dad so tight... I miss him it's been a month... Mula pagkabata ko I was already so clingy to my parents. Ayaw na ayaw ko na maiiwan ako mag-isa since I didn't have any siblings.. I was always alone and I didn't have anyone to play with when I was a kid.

"My princess" my dad hugged me back.

"I missed you Dad" I said tears welling up in my eyes....ganoon ako kababaw pagdating sa mga magulang ko, hindi ako sanay na wala sila ng matagal na panahon..even though malaki na ako, iba pa rin talaga kapag nariyan ang mga magulang ko, I feel comfort in their arms...na pakiramdam ko walang makakapanakit sa akin kapag naririyan sila...

"I missed you too Sweetheart" my dad said kissing my forehead..

"Where's your mom?" my dad asked

"I'm here honey" my mom answered

My mom gave my dad a peck on the lips and they hugged each other.. Napangiwi na lamang ako..sanay na ako sa ganyan nila mommy, they're so sweet with each other even though years had passed already... lagi kong pinagdarasal na sana makahanap ako ng lalaking mamahalin ako katulad ng pagmamahal ni dad kay mom.

I wish that someday I'll find someone like dad..someone who will love me the way dad loves mom and someone who will look at me lovingly like the way my parents do...

Matapos ang ilang minuto, pumunta na kami sa dining area to eat dinner. Habang kumakain  hindi napigilan ni dad na magtanong kung anong mga pangyayari for the past month that he was away.

"So Fawn how's your school?" my dad asked

"It's fine dad" I answered

"Oh honey nga pala Aster and Kayden won a contest today!" my mom said excitedly

"Oh really?" my dad said

Alam ni dad na may gusto ako kay Kayden.. Of course wala akong maitatago kina mom... They always know if something was up..

"Fawn remember focus on your studies first bata ka pa at marami ka pang kailangang matutunan tsaka ka na magpaligaw or magboyfriend." seryosong sabi ni dad

"Of course dad, isa pa wala namang magkakagusto sa akin sa school no." I said

"Bakit naman wala anak? You're beautiful inside and out I'm sure maraming naga-admire sa ito from afar sa school ninyo...so don't say those kinds of nonsense." my mom said

"Thanks for that mom but still I'm an introvert and I'm not a friendly person you know that...I'm not good with talking to other people...It's uncomfortable.." I said

"Anak someday you'll realize that it's nice to have friends..so there's someone you can call kapag nahihirapan ka...when you feel so down they'll be there to help you..hindi pwedeng mabuhay ka lang ng mag-isa Fawn...remember that..." my mom said

"Okay mom... I'll try.." I said

We continued to eat and talk about random things about life and after that we went to the living room to do more catching up.. We state at the sala for about 2 hours before my parents realized that it's already so late...

"Mom, Dad I'm gonna go upstairs na goodnight." I said and gave them a goodnight's kiss on their cheeks.

"Goodnight darling go rest okay.. I know you're exhausted from earlier." my mom said

I nodded and stiffled a small anime before going upstairs to my room.. I did my evening routine and got to bed... I still wasn't that sleepy so I got my iPad and scrolled on some videos to watch... I got bored watching so I got up and got a book from my mini library at my room...

After picking a nice book bumalik na ako sa higaan ko at humiga.. I turned the bedside lamp on so I can read better.... after a few minutes naramdaman ko na ang pagod at antok... I placed the book down on my bedside table, turned on the night lamp and then I turned off my bedside table lamp.

I stared at the ceiling for a while at namalayan ko na lamang ang sarili kong unti-unting pumipikit..

"Goodnight Kayden" I managed to whisper before darkness fully consumed my world.
