"Yeheyyyy! We're going on vacation again."
I giggled as I was inside my room.
I just heard a while ago, Mommy and Daddy talking about vacation again at my grandma's place. Waaah! I'm super excited. I have really liked the province since day one.
Btw. My grandma is my Mommy's mom.
Kinagabihan. Mommy, daddy and I, had dinner together.
"Clara..." tawag ni mommy.
Tumingin muna ako sa kanila ni daddy bago sumagot.
"Y-Yes mom!?" gosh! can't hide my excitement.
"Have you finished your school clearance?" she asked me.
"Yes mommy... kanina lang po." nakangiting sagot ko. Pilit kong kinakalma ang sarili ko.
"Okay. We're going to visit your grandma tomorrow. Inatake na naman daw ng sakit n'ya, and by the way she's looking for you." mommy said without looking at me.
"W-What hap--."
"Shhh... Baby stop asking. Just continue your food." daddy said in a soft voice.
Napatingin naman ako kay mommy. Then I saw sadness in her face. Hindi na rin ako nagsalita. I know how's sad mommy is. Until we finished eating dinner hindi na ulit kami nakapag usap nila mommy.
"Are you ready baby?" tanong ni daddy. Nasa airport na kami at naghihintay ng oras ng flight namin.
"Yes dad!" I answered immediately.
"You will stay there for the mean time ha? Habang bakasyon." nakangiting sabi n'ya.
"Yes dad." nakangiting sagot ko.
I always stay with grandma every time we go on vacation. So I'm used to it. Masaya naman sa lugar nila grandma kaya it's ok for me to stay there habang bakasyon. And I already have friends there and I am excited to see them all.
Nasa labas na kami ng bahay ni grandma ng sinalubong kami ni tito ricky. Kapatid ni mommy.
"Ciara... buti nakadalaw kayo?" tanong ni tito kay mommy. And they hugged each other.
Ngumiti lang si mommy at tumango. Ganun din ang ginawa ni daddy. Hanggang ngayon ramdam ko pa rin ang lungkot ni mommy.
"Oh! Eto na ba si clara?" tanong n'ya sabay hawak sa ulo ko.
"Opo tito...ako na po 'to." nahihiyang sagot ko. Sabay mano.
"Dalagang dalaga ka na at ang ganda ganda mo pa. Parang kailan lang ang liit mo pa." saad n'ya
"Thank you po tito." sagot ko na lamang.
"Pasok na kayo. Nasa kwarto si Mama nagpapahinga." sabi ni tito.
"Ciara... anak ikaw ba 'yan?" tanong ni lola habang nakahiga, halata sa boses n'ya ang panghihina.
"O-Opo mama...k-kamusta ka na po?" sabay upo ni mommy sa gilid ng kama ni grandma.
