CHAPTER 29

Rod's POV
I got up at exactly 5:30 in the morning. Naligo na ako agad at nagbibis. I didn't eat breakfast na dahil ayokong maabutan ng traffic palabas ng Manila. Around 6:30am, I go downstairs and there, I saw Dad reading some newspaper while drinking some coffee.

Lucas: You're too early, Roderick.

Rod: Well, it's better to be early than late, Dad (chuckled)

Dad was about to speak but someone called my name so I turned para tignan kung sino ito and it's mom so I walk towards her then gave her a tight hug.

Emilia: Sobrang aga mo naman ata anak (then pulled from the hug)

Rod: Baka kasi ma-traffic ako mom eh.

Emilia: Oh okay. Nasa'n na yung mga gamit or luggage mo?Nasa sasakyan mo na ba?

Rod: Ahm, nasa taas pa po mom.

Emilia: Bakit hindi mo pa dinala? Teka, ipakuha ko lang kay manong.

I just nod then pinuntahan ko ulit si Dad.

Lucas: Mag-ingat ka Roderick ha? Pagdating mo sa bayan nila, may sasalubong sayo doon. Dumiretso ka muna sa resort where you'll stay, bukas ka na pumunta sa mismong site.

Rod: Okay Dad.

Lucas: Susunod din pala sayo bukas sina Angelo at Franchesca.

Rod: Huh? Akala ko ba ako lang ang pupunta doon, Dad?

Lucas: Sinabihan ko sila kahapon para naman may kasama.

Rod: Ah okay.

Lucas: Sige na, go.

Rod: Sige po, Dad.

I came closer to Dad then tapped his shoulder. After a second, mom walk towards us so nagpaalam na din ako. While walking palabas ng bahay, mom handed me 3 roses. I got confused so I ask.

Rod: Para saan to mom?

Emilia: Sus! Maang-maangan lang anak?! (Then laugh)

Rod: Nah, seriously mom para saan po ito?

Emilia: Anong para saan? Para kanino dapat noh! (Then rolled her eyes)

Rod: Ah okay (then laugh)

Emilia: Oh magpaalam ka muna sa kanya bago ka umalis ha? Puntahan mo na muna sa bahay niya o sa hospital.

Rod: Nagpaalam na po ako kagabi mom and these roses? Hindi ko po ito mabibigay sa kanya.

Emilia: Huh? Bakit?

Rod: 1pm pa daw siya uuwi sa bahay niya eh.

Emilia: So, you mean she's with her mom and dad right now?

Rod: Yah.

Emilia: Oh edi doon mo puntahan! Jusko Roderick! (Then shook her head)

Rod: Huh?

Emilia: Anong Huh? Go!
