One Last Time

20- Finally?

" Lo, wag mo yang pansinin ., hayaan mo na sya. Uuwi din yan sa pinangilangan nya"

Ngumisi lang ito saka tinanguan ako .

" Im not leaving . Im not leaving anymore not that I have found you"

......

Its a thursday morning ,di masyadong loaded ang schedule ko ngayon kaya inisip kong dalawin ang musuleo ni Dad.

Dad's half Italian, at dito na nga sya lumaki ng Pilipinas kaya Pinoy na pinoy sya. As much as i could remember, dad works for Don Enrico. And he became an asset to the company. I always admired his vissions and his love  for his craft. But, not all good things ends right. Just like what happened to him, he never had his happe ending.

I offered a flower and lit a candle saka ako umupo upang mahawakan ko ang lapida nito.  And everytime im here, i always tell him the same thing over and over.

" dad, " i said as i traced my finger to his name .

" Dad, i know youre watching over me, over us ni mommy. I know, youre our guardian angel. Dad .. i missed you so much. Ang dami kong gustong ikwento, but you left me. You left us, but its ok Dad , i understand.  I know youre in a happy place now. I know your smiling from up there. Im sorry kung nagtanim ako ng sama ng loob, kung nagtanim ako ng galit kay Don Enrico. Alam kong di mo gugustuhing ipaghiganti ko ang kawalano. But i still did it. And now, im suffering from a severe broken heart. hehe " i even  chuckled ,pero naluluha na ako. Ive become a crying baby this past days.

" Daddy,  i know youre with Him now, can i ask you a favor, can you whisper to His ears and ask Him where Sarah is? Can you do it dad? Please help me dad, ive been missing her so badly. And i dont know what to do anymore." I sighed and stood up. I know its impossible but who knows, miracles happen anywhere and baka sa simpleng hiling ko nito ay masagot ang katanungang na aking hinahanap.

" Bye for now Dad, i better get going. And you just enjoy your vacation in heaven , dont worry about mommy, im taking care of her . I miss you dad. I love you"  then i went to my car and drove fast till i reach my office.

Habang paakyat na ako ng office ay narinig ko ang tawag ni Ivan.

" Matteo! Good news bro!!!" sigaw ni Ivan .

" Hey calm down . .anong meron?"  i asked him

" Sarah . .. Oh jeez, we know where she is" agad akong napatayo sa sinabi nito. Ang laki ng ngiti ko sa narinig ko.

" Whooa!! for real!!! Ivan!!! we're going to get her now!!!" sabi ko na sobrang ikinatibok ng puso ko. Para akong lutang. Ang bilis naman ng sagot ni daddy. Im smiling at the same time i feel like crying.

" Yes bro.. we are going to get her!!" nakangiting sabi ni Ivan

Today!! Today's the best day ever .. Finally , nahanap na din namin si Sarah!! Finally!!!

" Jenny  , " agad  kong tinawag ito, agad naman itong pumasok

" Yes?"

" Nahanap na si Sarah" nakangiti kong sabi

I saw how Jenny's  face brighten up. Teary eyed na nga ito . 

Bigla ako nitong niyakap 

" Matt!!! please promise me  na iuuwi mo sya ha.. mangako ka ha .. iuuwi mo na si Sarah dito. Tapos, mag usap kayo. Magkapatawaran para maging masaya na ang lahat" naiiyak na sabi nito .
