The Fourth Robredo Daughter

Chapter 4 Confrontation

When she finally calmed down, she went downstairs to her parent's bedroom carrying the little wooden box that she got from her nanay.

Upon entering the room, she asked her parents.

"Can I talk to you both?" she asked

"Oo naman. Maupo ka." Her mom answered

She then sat on their bed and quietly placed the items that were inside the little box on the bed and changed glances at her mom and dad.

"Okay. Magpapaliwanag ako." Her mom said

Her mom explained everything to her and it was the same as what was written in her nanay's diary.

"Hindi niyo ko totoong anak." She said

"Pero minahal ka naming ng totoo." Her papa said

"Mahal niyo ko pero hindi niyo sinabi sakin noong nagka-isip nako o noong tumakbo siyang vice president o kahit noong VP na siya para sana nakilala niya man lang ako o nakilala ko man lang siya." She said

"Sa tingin kasi naming anak, hindi pa yun ang tamang panahon." Her mom said

"So, kailangan umabot ng almost 20 years?" she asked

"Sasabihin na sana namin sa'yo. Papatapusin lang naming ang eleksyon. Natatakot kasi kami na baka ma-bash ka rin kagaya noong mga ate mo lalo pa ngayon na mainit sila sa mata ng kalaban ni VP Leni. Ayaw naming masaktan ka sa kung anumang sasabihin ng tao." Her mama explained

"Ngayong alam mo na ang totoo, susuportahan ka namin ng mama mo sa mga susunod na hakbang na gusto mong gawin para makilala ka ni VP Leni." Her papa told her and held her hand

"Thank you po. Nakita ko sa facebook na pupunta sila dito sa March 11 para sa grand rally nila. Pwede ko kayang kunin ang pagkakataon na yun para makilala niya ko?" she asked

"Kung mabibigyan ka anak ng pagkakataon na makalapit sa kanya, gawin mo." Her mama said

"Thank you po." She said

"Para saan na naman?" her papa asked

"Thank you kasi inalagaan ninyo ako na parang tunay niyong anak kahit na hindi kami close ni mama. Minsan naiisip ko rin kung ampon ba talaga ako lalo na kapag nag-aaway kami ni mama. Alam mo naman na para kaming aso at pusa diba?" she said and then laughed

"Maga-apply ako as volunteer sa darating na rally para makalapit ako kay VP Leni." I told them

"Paano yung duty mo?" her mama asked

"Magli-leave po ako sa araw nay un. Nasabihan ko na po ang TL ko." She answered

"Okay sure. Kung yun ang paraan para makita mo at makaharap mo ang mama mo, susuportahan ka namin." Her mama answered

"Alam ko po na kahit kailan ay hindi ko mapapalitan si baby Keisha sa puso at buhay ninyo pero nagpapasalamat po ako na kinupkop ninyo ako at itinuring na sarili ninyong anak."

"Balik na po ako sa taas, may duty pa po ako bukas." Jorge said and went to her room

As someone who has mommy issues, she finally felt a great relief and comfort in her heart since she knows that VP Leni is a great and present mother.

She went to bed to get enough rest for the next day.
