Inday Sara POV

Davao City

I finally had the chance to visit Mama after a while. "Ma!" I shouted once I'm at her doorstep but no answer. I panic a bit inside but still try to look calm. "Ma?" I called again but still no response. When I entered the house, I saw her sitting in the sofa looking intently at her phone.

"Ma, tutok ka diyan ha."

"Ay Inday, andyan ka pala." She replied surprised but immediately looked back to her phone.

"Wow, anong game yan at yun lang nasabi mo sakin?" I wondered as I approach her.

"Nag-text sakin papa mo, binabasa ko lang ulit."

I forced a laugh. "Bakit mo naman need basahin ulit, akin na nga." I stretched out my hand for her to give her phone to me but she didn't.

Now I really wondered what the hell did he texted to her. I waited for her to read it out loud.

"Si Paolo ba at Sebastian puwede bukas?" instead was her reply.

"Anong meron?"

"We'll have lunch with your Papa."

"Yun yung paulit ulit mong binabasa?" I asked her incredulously.

"He's coming with the Vice President."

"Baste, busy ka bukas?"

"Oo," he replied, not looking.

"Pagpaliban mo muna, dadating si Papa." I told him.

"Anong meron?"

"Mag-lunch daw."

"Sinong may birthday?"

"Wala."

"Eh bakit may pa-lunch?"

I slapped his back. "Pag may birthday lang puwedeng mag-lunch together?"

"I mean, anong meron? We usually don't do this unless we are celebrating di ba?" He retorted.

I sighed loudly and looked at him.

"We are celebrating..

Na buhay pa si Papa. Ok na?"

--

"Mag-ayos ka bukas ha," I told Paolo over the phone.

"Inday, mahal ng flight if bukas na. Nagmamadali ba, puwede bang humabol nalang ako?" He replied.

"Gusto mo bang si January nalang ang papuntahin ko? Maghahati hati na ng mana, di ka yata interested?"

"Gaga ka." He laughed.

Silence.

"Seryoso?" He shouted over the phone.

"Pumunta ka nalang. Mag-ayos ka."

--

"Si Papa, magpapalunch tomorrow. Ikaw muna bahala sa mga bata." I told Mans. He looked at me but he nodded.

"Everything okay?"

"Oo naman, kainis lang dahil ung mga kapatid ko parang di naman interesado."

"Ikaw din e."

"Huh? E ako nga itong nagtawag sa kanila –"

"Di ka maiinis sa kanila if gusto mo makita niyo ang Papa."
