When I woke up, it's already 11 am. I decided to go downstairs and while I am still on the stairs, I heard loud giggles coming from the living room.

They were all there, talking arbitrary topics, I guess.

"Oh the princess is awake already!" Tita Imee exclaimed as soon as she saw me approaching, everyone's gaze turned to me so I gave them a smile.

"How's your sleep, apo?" Abu asked as she tapped the unoccupied seat beside her.

"All good abu, nakatulog po ako ng mahimbing." I replied as I smiled.

"What are y'll talking? I heard loud giggles on my way here." I added as I looked at them.

"Oh we're just talking randomly, having fun on teasing each and everyone." Tita Liza said as she smiled.

"I see..." I uttered.

"Ma'am, Sir, handa na po yung pagkain.."

We nodded as we went to the kitchen, I sat in my usual spot, chair between tita Imee and mommy. I put a small amount of food in my plate after we prayed, we started eating as Abu started to ask us one by one about how our weeks went.

After we ate, we went back to the living room as everyone agreed to have a karaoke session. I was browsing through my phone when mommy showed up infront of me, she sat beside me because there is still unoccupied seat pa naman.

"you should sing love, its been awhile since we heard you sang." she said softly as she she tucked my hair behind my ears.

"Maybe later, mom." I said plainly as I smiled.

She held my hand as she gently squeeze it, "everything's good?" she asked.

"Of course, everything's fine mommy." I said as I smiled at her and leaned my head to her shoulders, she put her hand to my back so she could hug me. Our moment got interrupted when my phone rang.

"Uy, may tumatawag! Tito oh!" Kuya Matthew teased, I glared at him.

I looked at mom, "need to answer this, mommy. Excuse me" I said as she nodded, I went outside as I answered the call, it's Hannah.

"Hello, Hans?" I said as soon as I answered the call.

"T-tine, b-busy ka ba?" She asked, she sound nervous.

"I'm not, why? Teka, kinakabahan naman ako sayo. May nangyari ba?" I asked, my heart is beating fast.

"Si ano kasi, si S-sister Anabelle.." She uttered as I heard her sobbed.

I'm starting to get nervous, ano ba ang nangyari?

"What happened? Anong nangyari kay Sister?" I asked loudly.

"Nasa hospital kami ngayon dito sa Laoag, dinala namin siya dito kasi madalas yung pagsakit ng ulo niya, isang linggo nadin siya dito, yun pala may sakit siya, Brain Tumor." Hannah  replied, as my tears began to form, I wasn't able to respond right away because I was so shock, hindi ko akalaing magkakaroon ng ganong sakit si Sister.

"B-bakit ngayon mo lang sinabi sakin to?" I whispered as I sobbed.

"Kasi ayaw ni Sister, alam niyang mag-aalala ka sakanya. Ayaw niyang makaabala sa pag-aaral mo." Hannah said.
