I decided not to think of Gab, Romeo or Alolino today. Siguro, it would be best kung next Tuesday night, magdasal na ko to ask for clarity. Baka naman kasi namomroblema ako about something na di ko naman dapat problemahin.

Baka kasi nangyayari lahat 'to because it leads to something that's bound to happen. Something that'd change my life for the better.

I went to practice today forcing myself to focus and remind myself of my career goals. Sineseryoso ko lahat ng plays na pinapagawa ni Coach at yung mga lectures nya for the next game. Aaminin kong madaling kalaban ang Blackwater at Mahindra but they can be surprising to the extent na magugulat ka nalang na RoS pa ang naghahabol sa scores. Malakas rin naman sila eh, sadyang naniniwala ako sa pana-panahon lang kasi kahit kami ganun din naman. May phase na sunod-sunod talo but then, once the flame has been sparked, mananalo rin ng sunod-sunod.

I'm way more concerned about our game against Global Port - kasi kahit sabihin kong ayokong isipin, hindi ko naman maiiwasan di ba?

With what I'm currently feeling, sobrang iksi lang ng pasensya ko with a lot of things. Gaya ni Hannah na hindi ko alam kung bakit kanina pa tawag ng tawag. I'm not sure if she knows I'm at practice pero sobrang nakakabato na kasi. Every time I go on break and check my phone, may tatlo or limang missed calls from her and damn it, malapit nang ma-low batt yung phone ko.

I hid my phone and went back to practice. Hindi ko na chineck ulit. Malowbatt na kung malo-lowbatt.

After our practice, I placed my stuff inside the car and checked my phone hoping na tinigilan na ko ni Hannah. This might be an urgent night out invite na naman mamaya. But to my dismay, I got 13 missed calls from her and the moment I went inside, biglang nagring yung phone ko.

I was about to take the call para makapag-decline na ko sa night out invite nya but my phone just died on me.

"Crap." I just threw the phone on the passenger's seat and drove my way home.

I was lucky enough that we were dismissed earlier than the usual and there wasn't any traffic along Greenhills.

Pag dating ko ng bahay, nagulat ako na nandun rin yung sasakyan na ginagamit nila Mommy every time they go out for some business stuff. Way far from the weekend, nakakapagtaka na nasa bahay lang sila.

I was surprised seeing our Auntie Belinda. She rarely pays us a visit since she's based in Quezon. She's Mommy's eldest sister. I excitedly hugged her since I haven't seen her for the longest time. What keeps me wondering is the vibe of everyone.

Bakit parang ang seryoso nila lahat? Aren't they happy that Auntie is here? May problema kaya sa business niya sa Quezon kaya sya napasugod dito? I hope not.

But it's really true that things come unexpectedly.

"Ahia, I already told your siblings about this and they've committed their help. Sana kahit busy ka, matulungan mo rin ang Auntie mo." Mom started.

"Kahit si Francis, nag-alok na rin ng tulong nya. Dito na sya magsstay habang kailangan ng kasama ng Auntie Belinda mo." Daddy added.

Auntie's an old maid and lives with one of our cousins who's helping out in managing her business. Since I am clueless, I cannot avoid painting the most doubtful look in my face.

"Ano po bang nangyayari?" I inquired.

"May sakit ako anak." Auntie answered.

"Dito muna ako sa Manila para mas madali ako makapagpatingin sa ospital o kaya makakuha ng magaling na doktor at humingi ng second opinion. May awa ang Dyos, pwedeng mali lang sila ng diagnosis." She explained.
