Home where the heart is

Chapter 21

YANNE

For one week, we went to five tourist spots in Ilocos Norte. What was my kuyas plan, to tour us specially ate Bella around. They want us to stay longer in Ilocos but we need to leave because daddy needs to rush some of his meetings and papers that he left in Manila for one week.

Early in the morning when we leave Ilocos since today is Monday, everyone is going to their work as usual we need to leave the house early to avoid traffic. Nauna nang lumuwas ang ang mga kuya ko kahapon dahil nga may mga aasikasuhin rin si ate Xandra.

Tumigil kami sa isang fast-food chain kasi hindi kami nakapag breakfast kanina dahil nga maaga kaming umalis.

"What do you want anak?" Mommy asked, i looked on the menu hindi na kami pumasok sa loob at nag drive-thru nalang kami.

"Burger with fries is okay for me po" I answered, mommy nodded. They ordered three pieces of burger with fries.

While we were on the road i saw how the sun raised kasi kaninang umalis kami sa Ilocos mag da-dawn palang. I was quietly eating my food here at the back while my parents are busy with each other's company not minding me here at the back.

I wrinkled my nose. My phone rang and i saw how daddy and mommy turned their gaze on me when they heard my phone rang. When it checked it, it was a call from Remz.

And what the heck came on his mind to call me early this morning? I bit my lips. I turned my phone into silent mode and swiped it to the red button. I'll just chat him.

Remz: Good morning, are you busy?

Yanne: Morning. Sorry i can't answer your call we're on our way to Manila, I'll just call you later when we're already in the house.

Remz: Oh okay. Igat!

That made me smile a bit. Hindi na ako nag reply sa chat niya at umidlip nalang.

Pagdilat ko ng mga mata ko ay naka pasok na kami sa subdivision sa Forbes, inayos ko na ang sarili ko at ang mga gamit ko dahil malapit na kami sa bahay.

Pinag bukaan kami ng gate ng guard at nang maka hinto sa tapat ng pinto ang sasakyan ay binigay na ni daddy ay susi sa isa pang guard which is kuya Jerome, the one who's in charge to park our cars.

Kuya Jerome is our mayordoma's son he's a third year college now. Any ways, isang kasambahay agad ang bumungad saamin para kunin ang mga ibang gamit na dala namin since ang iba ay nasa sasakyan pa at kukunin nalang nila mamaya.

Si mommy ang nauunang nag lakad ang sabi niya ay mauuna na siya sa taas dahil medyo hindi raw maganda ang pakiramdam niya siguro ay dahil maaga siyang nagising at kulang siya sa tulog dahil medyo late rin kami naka tulog kagabi kasi late kami naka uwi.

But to our surprise, mommy fainted when se was about to step on the stairs. Daddy immediately went to her to support her, i asked our kasambahay to tell our driver to prepare the car.

Agad na binuhat ni daddy si mommy palabas ng bahay para maisakay sa sasakyat at nag mamadaling pinaharurot ng driver ang sasakyan. My hand is shaking right now i don't know what to feel.

I texted kuya Lu and kuya Fonso and told them what happened to mommy. Kuya Lu immediately called me.

"Hello? what happened to mommy?" It was kuya Lu from the other line.

"We just arrived at the house mommy told us that she's going upstairs na because she's not feeling well daw, but when she was about to step on the stairs she fainted" I was stuttering while saying those words, I'm talking to kuya Lu when one of our kasambahay walk towards to me holding a phone telling me that kuya Fonso is on the other line.
