Chapter 22

"Yna, huwag kang magpadalos-dalos sa mga desisyon mo." the moment we stepped inside our house, Mommy already confronted me. Pagod akong humarap sa kanya at pagod na ngumiti.

"I can do it, Mama." I assured. Her lips parted.

"Our business is already doing well, thanks to Kian's family."

Pagod akong nahiga sa kama ko at nakatingin lang sa puting ceiling. Is it worth it? Iyan ang paulit-ulit na tumatakbo sa isipan ko. Maybe it is. After all, I am just doing it for my family... for our business.

Suddenly, my phone rang.

Josh is calling....

My brows furrowed but I immediately answered the call.

"Hey..." bati ko. 

"Hey..." his voice were husky, maybe he's now in bed.

"Why?" I asked.

He chuckled. "Ayaw mo ba na tinatawagan?"

My eyes widened and shook my head. Marahan na lang din akong natawa.

"It's not like that 'no! Baka ano... baka may sasabihin ka?"

I heard him chuckled again.

"I'm bored." aniya. 

I sighed. Me too.

"Matulog ka na lang." natatawa ko ring sabi. 

"Hindi rin ako makatulog eh,"

"Hmmm...."

"Hmmm?" he said. My face heated.

"Saan kayo this Christmas vacation?" he asked. 

Nag-isip pa ako kahit alam ko naman na ang sagot sa tanong niya.

"Dito lang sa bahay."

"Oh? No any other plans?" 

"Wala naman na, Josh. Kayo ba?"

"Well, my family is planning to celebrate our Christmas in Cebu." he enthusiastically said. He's so full of energy... and happy. 

"Sana all?" ngisi ko na parang nakikita naman niya.
