Mamahalin Kita ng Malayo

CHAPTER 45

EMILIA'S POV
It's been several days since my son assigned at the province. Nakakalungkot ang nangyari cuz he finally decided to give what Lizzy wants, lalayo na siya. He admit, it's really hard for him to do that but he don't a choice. Hindi na din ako kumontra pa dahil baka nga hindi talaga sila para sa isat-isa at syempre, para hindi na ulit umasa ang anak ko.

I'm here at the secret room wherein he keep all the marterpiece he made for Lizzy, mostly portraits. He made all of these nung nasa Barcelona pa siya. Everytime pupunta kami ng Dad niya para bisitahin siya, pinapasabay niya ang mga ito.

*******************Flashback*********************

*Barcelona
It took us another 30 minutes to finish our dinner. Natagalan kami dahil sa dami ng kwento ni Tracy. Well, we're indeed close. In fact parang kapatid ko na nga eh.

While heading to our room, I've decided to check my son and para na din makipag-kwentuhan muna. As I open the door, he's nowhere to be found. I was about to close it but he speak up then walk towards me. Nagtaka ako but he told me na sundan ko daw siya cuz there's something he wants to show so I did, sinundan ko na. As he turn the bookshelf, I was shock cuz meron palang pintuan doon. I was surprise din dahil sa mga nakatago dito.

Emilia: Oh my god! Si Lizzy ba lahat toh?

Rod: Yes mom (then smile)

Emilia: Ang gaganda anak

After telling those words, I walk closer to the masterpieces he made and I must say, my son is indeed an artist. Hindi talaga maikakailang kay Lucas siya nagmana. Buti nalang hindi sa akin HAHAHAHAH.

Rod: Mom?

Emilia: Hmm?

Rod: We have 4 guest room naman po sa bahay diba?

Emilia: Yes, why? (Confused)

Rod: Pwede po bang gawin kong Art Room yung isa? Kasi gusto kong iuwi sa Pilipinas ang mga ito eh.

Emilia: Oo naman anak (then smile) Ikaw ang daya mo ha! Bakit puro si Lizzy lang ang subject mo? Pwede ako naman?

Rod: WIP palang po yung sayo, mom (then laugh)

Emilia: Sus! Siguraduhin mo lang dahil kung hindi, magtatampo talaga ako sayo (Tampo face)

Rod: Promise mom, pag natapos ko po ipapadala ko agad (then smile)

Emilia: Promise ha?

Rod: Promise (then raised his right hand)

Habang tinitignan ko ang mga gawa niya, dito ko mas lalong napatunayan na mahal niya talaga si Lizzy. It's been 7 years and yet he still love her. Akala ko nung pumunta siya dito sa Barcelona, there's a big chance makalimutan niya si Lizzy but I was wrong.

Rod: Mom?

Emilia: Yes?

Rod: Sa tingin mo naaalala pa din kaya ako ni Lizzy?
