Wish Upon A Fading Star

Chapter 29

Malia POV:

Hearing those words from mom and dad made my heart shattered into pieces. I didn't know that Eva's kind of flirtatious kay daddy. But mom was quiet the whole rime, perhaps their love within each other is not working anymore.

I sensed that they both are coming outside na, kaya I quietly went downstairs. Baka kasi mahuli ako ng mga ito and wiped my tears immediately. I don't want my kuya's witnessed what happened, just like what mom said to dad. I intend to act normal.

Saktong naman pagbaba ko ay nakalabas na rin sila mommy and daddy ng room nila. Kuya Luis want to asked me what happened ba yet the two came to us.

"Mom what happened po? Is there a problem bo ba? We saw you crying while going upstairs kanina ah. Dad?" kuya Alfy concur.

"W-wala anak, napuwing lang ang mommy that's why I'm in hurry kanina pumunta ng room ko" sagot naman ni mommy which is clearly unbelievable to me.

"Well it's look like that dad was in hurry din kanina. Hindi po ba kayo magkasama nakabalik?" kuya Luis said.

"H-hindi anak, nauna ang mommy mo. And I'm in worry din for akala ko anong nangyare" dad remarked. Liar.

"S-so what the three of you did kanina?" mom spoke and change the topic. I can literally see it, the pain she's been going through in her eyes. Nako, how can they act normal while I'm already know the truth behind this attitude that they're showing upon us nila kuya.

"We ate the cookies the we bake mom. Hala tinirhan niyo ba si mommy?" kuya Luis said at sila palang dalawa ang naka-ubos.

"Hala Alfy ate a lot mommy. Di ka tinirhan"

"Anong ako? Ikaw nga tong sarap na sarap. Si Malia nga dalawa lang nakain" kuya Alfy joked.

"Nako no worries mga anak, we'll bake again soon. Thanks for watching out sa kapatid niyo. It's getting dark na. Both of you, dito na mag dinner I'll cook lang" mom said which made my two kuya agree.

Nang papunta na sana si mommy sa kitchen ay she looked at me and sensed something. Oh God please lang naman, huwag naman sanang malaman ni mommy na umiyak ako.

"Oh anak Lia, are you okay ba? Mukhang namaga ang mata mo anak, what happened?" she said and and dad was already beside mom, concerned about me.

"I-I'm okay lang po ma, naghilamos lang. I didn't rinsed kaagad kaya naanuhan ng sabon yung mata ko. It's fine na naman po, mawawala na rin naman po ito in a minute. Tulungan ko napo kayong mag prepare and magluto" I said but mom stopped me.

"Ako na anak, there's manang naman wo can help me. I'll just call you later kapag kakain na. Nandito na si daddy mo, I want you to bond with him especially na nandito sila kuya mo" sabi nito at parang nanghina ako. I can't fathom where dad find the guts, still to act normal after what happened. I salute mom for she personally know how to handle this situation. Lalo na alam kong nasasaktan na ito.

"S-sure mom" I shortly answered and asked permission na sa garden muna lang ako. Just want to think at this moment.

I thought on my way here, I was alone. But dad followed me. Until napaupo ako, he sat beside me too.

"How are you anak?" he asked while my gaze are in the sky.

"Fine" I shortly answered.

"Daddy was sorry for I didn't make it kanina-" the I cutted him.

"It's fine"

"Is there a problem ba anak? You seems cold at the moment. If there's, you can tell it and daddy will listen and not to judge you"
