I cleared my throat
before answering my mom’s call.
“Hello?”
“Smile. I heard from your tita Arlyn that you’re still acting on stage? I told you to quit, didn’t I?”
“Hindi na po ako umaarte, Mama. Hindi na po ako sumasali.”
“That’s good. You shouldn’t pursue it. You’re not good at it. Bye.”
Call ended.
Nanginginig ang kamay na ibinalik
ang telepono sa study table ko.
I also cleared my throat for the second time para mawala ang bara do’n.
Smile:
She’s right. I shouldn't pursue it.
Because I will never good at it.
