Alcavar Dynasty: THE BLACK SHEEP [COMPLETE]

Fifty: Dream

L O R R A I N E

I had a dream. A wonderful dream. Kasama rito si Caitie and Rosa. Hinahabol namin ni Rosa si Caitie just to tickle her while the ocean tries to wipe our footprints behind us with its waves. Umaalingawngaw yung tawa ng dalawang taong mahal na mahal ko. Rosa's laugh that makes my heart beat fast. And Caitie's that sounds like the laugh is coming from an angel.  Yeah, she is an angel. Si Caitie yung naging dahilan kung bakit umayos ulit ang buhay ko. She's the reason why I am back on track. I kept on denying it to myself before, that she's my angel. I kept on being distant dahil hindi ko alam kung kaya ko bang maging magulang. But day by day, I wake up to the fact that I am a mother. I had a dream. A dream that's beautiful and sweet. A dream of a happy family, with Caitie, Rosa, and me.

"Are you sure? Busog ka na talaga? Ang hina mo na kumain. Sige ka pagagalitan ako ng mommy mo kapag nagising sya and napansin na you lost weight. Do you want that to happen? Aawayin ako 'nun"

Narinig ko ang boses ng isang babae pero hindi ko maisip kung sino ito. All I know is that I can see the white ceiling. I tried to say something but all I can say is a soft moan.

"No, mumzie. But, I'm full. Mamaya po kakain ako ulit."

Narinig ko ang boses ni Caitie. It made me smile.

"Hmmmmm"

Napaungol ako nang gumuhit ang sakit sa ulo ko.

"Mom!?"

Mabilis na lumapit sa akin si Caitie. Nakita ko ang lumuluha nyang mga mata.

"Mommy!!!"

Sigaw nya sa sobrang saya kahit na umiiyak ito.

"Raine? Are you okay? Tatawag ako ng doktor!"

Mabilis na lumabas si Rosa sa kwarto.

"How are you mom? Mom I was so scared. Please don't do this again. Wag ka na ulit ma oospital please"

She kissed my hand. Di ko mapigilang mapaluha sa ginawa nya. It must have been tough for Caitie.

"How long have I been out?"

Tanong ko sa doktor nang lumapit ito sa akin.

"A week"

Sagot ng doktor. He checked me pagkatapos ay nag bilin ng mga meds, food, do's and dont's. Si Rosa ang kausap nito habang nakikinig lang ako.

"Baby girl how have you been? Pumapasok ka na ba sa school?"

Tumango sya.

"Yes mom! Uh, mumz--"

Natigilan sya at ngumiti.

"--Tita Rosa helped me a lot."

Napakunot ang noo ko nang marealize kong narito si Rosa. BAKIT?

"Hey"

Sambit nya nang lumapit sya sa akin.

"Hi"

Sagot ko.

"We were so worried about you. Celine and Tatay are here too, actually papunta na sila."

Tahimik lang ako at hindi sumagot.

"Mom! Look! Nag drawing kami kanina sa school. Sabi ng teacher namin, we have to draw our favorite superhero. Look at this!"

Ipinakita nya sa akin ang papel na kinuha nya sa bag nya at ibinida ito sa akin.

"Hmm, there are cameras, lights, a dress and a woman? Who's this?"

She giggled.

"It's t-tita Rosa. She's my hero. She kept me company and inasikaso nya po ako mommy! So, she's my hero"
