Wish Upon A Fading Star

Chapter 24

"Apo ko" all she said at hinigpitan ang yakap nito sa akin sabay himas ng buhok ko.

"Hello mama Meldy, I'm already home" I said pero mas lumala pa ang iyak nito.

"Gagaling na gagaling ka, akala ko hindi ka na pauuwiin ng doctor mo pero hindi nga natutulog ang Diyos at narito ka" she quote and some of the people here, hindi napigilang maluha.

"Thanks to God nga rin naman po. And guys! Why are you crying? I'm here pa oh, pinaaga niyo naman ang magaganap sa burial ko-"

"Malia!" immediately mama Imee went inside the house. She's true on her words, she's not going to leave me.

"Hi mama-"

"Ikaw talagang bata ka, the words you said earlier is not significant ha! Maka ilang ulit mo talagang sinasabi yan, stop it. It's not funny anymore" banggit nito.

"O-okay" at biglang iniba ang usapan nito.

"Mukhang naghanda ah, sino may birthday?" mama Imee said.

All of them nila mommy, looked her seriously and I guess they didn't get the joke.

"Ano ba naman tong mga to makatitig parang mangangain. Nagtatanong lang, tara na nga lang and let's take a dinner na lang"

"But ate, we'll wait for Malia's friends muna" daig naman ni mommy.

"Oh uhm it's okay lang po we'll eat first na lang po. They're not responding naman sa akin maybe they're busy, mama Imee's right tara na po"

"Are you sure honey?" daddy asked me.

"Opo"

I wonder why Jessan, Keirt and Oliver are not responding upon my message on them. Baka mga busy lang, so hindi ko na lang sila pinilit pa at kahit tawagan ko naman ay ring lang ng ring sa kabilang linya.

Mama Meldy lead the prayer at nang kumakain na kami ay it's look like they're having a conversation upon politics na hindi naman ako gaano ka relate and just continue on what I'm eating, I'm gald that ate Jamie made a vegetable salad. Kaya yun na lang ang kinain for the doctor said that I'm not allowed on dairy, juices and fatty foods.

I'm on the middle of mom and dad nakaupo, and in front of me was ate Jamie and signaled me if I was okay lang ba, which I responded with a nod.

"Balita ko, there's someone na nanliligaw sayo mommy part of the senate" kuya Borgy stated.

"YIEEE" all of us said and can't deny that mama Imee blushed.

"Naks, parang kamatis ang pisngi oh" tito Bonget added.

"Akala ko ba tingang ka mommy" Kuya Michael remarked.

"Nako, nako! tigil-tigilan niyo ako and yes, I'm already certified tigang. There's no one courting me right now-"

"Eh in the future?" mommy added and all laugh.

"Ano ba! hinding-hindi na nga" it looks like mama Imee already looked pikon upon what the other had said.

"Ang sa akin naman Imee, kung mabuting tao naman. Huwag mo nang pakawalan, age doesn't matter rin naman" all of us were shocked when suddenly mama Meldy spoke.

"Mommy pati ikaw pa naman, tama na" sagot naman ni mama kaya nagsitigalan na ang iba and other stuff na lang ang pinag usapan hanggang matapos kami.

It's been an hour, and the others already left. Nauna na rin sila tito Bonget for tomorrow is already monday and tita Liza does have a class to teach pa, same as to kuya Borgy, Matt and Michael. They will travel quiet far pa kasi. Kaya hinatid na namin sila sa labas ng bahay together with mama Meldy and mama Imee.
