Chapter 21

No matter where you're from, your dream's are valid.

Kumaway ako kila Ryan at Jacob na sabay na sumakay sa isang sasakyan. Nagtungo kami sa mga bata, nagulat pa nga ako dahil close na sila Ryan at Jacob sa mga bata, doon ko lang nalaman na palaging dumadaan ang dalawa kong kaibigan doon. Our perspective as friends has changed unlike before when we were always the beginning of trouble. Because of the children, we learned to be humane and respectful.

Naligaw man kami ng landas, that is still no reason for us not to change. Everything can change as long as you want, there are many ways for us to succeed. If we failed before, now we know how to win.

I caught up with Dad who was talking on the phone, seeing in his emotions that something bad had happened. He shook the side of his head before glancing at me. I continued walking until I got to my room. I turned on the light and placed the bag on my swivel chair.

The night has come but I still can’t get my sleep, maybe because I slept in the classroom earlier so I can’t sleep now?

I leaned over and made a pillow with one arm, my eyes still wide open. I woke up in my bed when I felt intense nervousness, nervousness that I had only once experienced in my past.

My chest throbbed faster like something unpleasant was happening. I put my hand on my left chest, I wasn't mistaken.

Tumayo ako mula sa aking hinihigaan at lumabas sa aking kwarto, naka ilang hakbang pa lang ako patungo sa baba ng marinig ko ang nagpapanic na boses ni manang, mabilis akong naalerto. Bumaba ako para malaman kung ano bang nangyari.

Hindi pa ako nakakababa ng tuluyan ng when my eyes went to Dad who was unconscious lying on the sofa, my knees suddenly weakened because of what I saw.

Hindi ko namalayan kusa na lamang na nagtungo ang aking mga paa doon kahit nanghihina ito. Suddenly my chest tightened, manang approached me. I can see the intense concern on manang's face.

"Ilang araw ng sumasakit ang dibdib ng daddy mo, hindi naman namin alam na mangyayari sa kanya ito." I slowly looked back at Dad. Deep remorse formed in my chest, I knew I was the reason why that happened to dad. Maybe if I hadn’t answered him that day it wouldn’t have happened.

Manong and his companions arrived, and they immediately picked dad. Manang and I just followed them. We got in the car until we got to the hospital. The nurses quickly took dad, taking him immediately to the emergency room.

Manang and I just sat in the chair, even though we were outside I still couldn't help but to worry about dad's condition now. I bent down and rubbed my face, I felt Manang patting my back.

"Kung sinisisi mo ang sarili mo sa nangyari sa daddy mo, nagkakamali ka hindi mo kasalanan."

I thought that when I confessed to Dad my life would be better but I didn't know it would get worse. Maybe the thing I want isn't really for me, maybe destiny isn't right for me.

The operation lasted a few hour, parang nabunutan kami ng tinik sa aming lalamunan ng nabalitaan naming stable na ang kalagayan ni Dad. "The patient can't be stressed first, it won't be good for his health." Manang nodded so the doctor left immediately.

I was locked in my room, Manang was in the hospital, she was taking care of dad now. Until now I have been stuck with what happened, how many times have I asked myself why this is happening in my life, is this what they call karma?
