Dustin:
Hey
Galing ka here sa HQ? :(

Aeri:
Hey 😂
Yes. Hindi ko na kayo sinilip kasi mukha kayong seryoso nina coach sa conference room kanina hehehe

Dustin:
Aww
You should have said hi to us pa rin.
Pero thanks ulit sa foods!

Aeri:
Dumaan lang ako kasi we're on our way for lunch with mom. Also, papa was the one who gave you those foods.

Dustin:
Thank you kamo hehe

Aeri:
Welcome! :)

Dustin:
Enioy!

Aeri:
I will.
I just hope my parents will be kind to each other this time. The last time was a mess.

Dustin:
Hmm I hope that it will be what you hoped for.

Aeri:
Yeah. Sana.
Sorry I unconsciously typed it
I feel like Inoru told you about my parents. He can be talkative. 😂

Dustin:
It's fine.
And yes haha
Na kwento niya last time na hiwalay na parents mo but they do try to give you what you deserve. Kaya rin close kayo kasi madalas ka pa rin bumisita sa Japan even when your parents got divorced and you and your mother went back here in the PH. 😅

Aeri:
Oh…

Dustin:
Sorry.

Aeri:
Huh?
Why are you apologizing? 😅

Dustin:
Idk?
Sorry kasi may nalaman ako about you?

Aeri:
Hala!
Nooo it's fine. I kinda expected it since you were in our house before. I believe you also met my mom before since you often visit Inoru.
Isa pa, it's not like I'm hiding it. People should know than assume that I have a complete family. 😂

Dustin:
Your mom is sweet and kind.
Pero madalas din siya mag travel diba?

Aeri:
She is! 🥺
And yes, madalas.
Kahit umuwi kami sa pinas ay madalas pa rin siya mag out of country 😂

Tho she waited for me to be at the legal age before she could leave without worrying about me that much plus sa amin pa tumira sila Inoru so mas napanatag siya na iwan ako ng mga ilang araw o buwan. And wfh lang naman work niya kaya mas easy sa kanya na mag travel while working ganon hahaha. It's her finally experiencing the freedom and the youth stolen from her when she had me at a young age.

Dustin:
Ohh
And you're okay with that?
Sorry you don't have to answer that.

Aeri:
It's fineeeee
come to think of it, ngayon lang ulit ako nag open about it. But yep I'm okay with her travels. I saw her at her best and worse when my parents were together and when they got separated.
My mom invested all her time and effort to pamper and take care of me.
Siguro free time niya lang ay kapag bumibisita ako ng Japan kay papa ganon. So I think she deserves those travels.

Dustin:
Tama rin naman.
Buti close ka sa both parents mo.

Aeri:
Yup!
When I was young nagtampo rin ako kasi nga naghiwalay sila.
Pero as I grew older, I think it was indeed for the better than seeing them pretend that we're a complete happy family.
I don't want them. I don't want something forced. Even when they both fell out of love, their love for me was still the same and that was enough for me. Wala rin silang partner. It's like right now, they are living the lives that they wanted despite the delay because they had to take care of the younger me. But yeah, proud ako sa magulang ko. Kaya hangga't kaya kong bigyan din sila ng oras, gagawin ko.

Dustin:
Wow.
You're a brave one, Aeri.
And I am proud of you. :)

Aeri:
Well, I am the brave one among my friends.
But not always. 😂

Dustin:
Ofc
And you don't have to be.
Minsan din naman kailangan ng tao na maging vulnerable.
Pero… hindi ba if you let yourself na maging vulnerable if you are also being brave?
Kasi it takes a lot before letting yourself accept and feel that you are not that strong.

Aeri:
Hmm…True.
Maybe there will just be things na we are scared of admitting. Siguro ganon ko masasabing I'm not always brave.
'Cause there are things that are hard to say knowing fully that you might not get the response you like.
Gtg! Tinatawag ako ni papa.
Thank you sa time and goodluck with your practice!

Dustin:
Ay nabitin ako.
Balik ka na nga rito please hahaha joke.
Thank you rin sa pag open. :)
Enjoy and see you soonest!
