Broken Promises

Chapter 55

*Tins Pov*

We are talking in my room when i confess something.

"You know what Daddy, i sometimes wish na sana hindi na lang si Mommy napakasalan mo or sana iba na lang ang Mommy namin. Someone that would never hurt our feelings, then probably we're gonna be a happy family." I confess.

"But I'm still thankful that she's still our Mom, after all theres no perfect person. Whats important is pinagsisisihan niya ito and she's willing to make this work again right?" I add and they just nod at me. The room got pretty awkward after i said that.

"Did you hear that? I think someone's at the door." Kuya Alfy said and check if someone's at the door.

When he opened it no one was there.

"Baka naman guni-guni mo lang yun Alfy." Kuya Luis speaks.

"Maybe." He said.

"Aren't you three tired 'cause I know i am." I told them because i felt embarrassed of what i said.

"But you haven't eaten dinner yet. Don't you want to eat first before sleeping?" Daddy utter and i shake my head no.

"I'm not that hungry Daddy so alis na kayo, Goodnight." I said and push them out of the door.

I quickly close the door before they can even speak at humiga. 'Why would you say that!' I scream in my mind.

I dicided to just sleep not caring if I'm hungry at all.

Nagising ako dahil kay Mama Imee at kakain na daw kami ng tanghalian. I told her na hindi pa ako nagugutom at mauna na lang sila hindi niya ako pinayagan.

"Celestine kakain ka sa ayaw at gusto mo kaya tumayo ka na diyan." Pagalit niyang sabi kaya wala na akong nagawa.

Pagdating namin doon ay wala sila Daddy at yung dalawang kuya ko, magkatabi naman sila Mommy and Aby. May nakasave na bakanteng upuan sa isang tabi ni Mommy and it looks like doon ako uupo.

"Tin you're here, come sit here. I'm sure you're hungry at di ka pa kumain ng gabihan kagabi." Mommy said and smiled at me, i didn't say anything at umupo na lang sa tabi niya.

"What do you want? Ito gusto mo ba to?" Pag-asikaso ni Mommy sa akin and i can see everyone look at us, even Aby.

"Its okay Mommy ako na po." Mahinang sagot ko at kumain na, you can see in her eyes na nalungkot siya sa sinabi ko.

We all ate in silence and no one speaks a single thing.

"What time is our flight po mamaya?" I broke our silence.

"3:00 pm why?" Mommy ask.

"I just wanna know po para maayos ko na yung gamit ko. Excuse me po." I excuse my self kahit na hindi pa ako tapos kumain.

Pumunta ako sa room namin at nag-ayos ng gamit ko at wala din naman akong magawa.

After that ay lumabas na lang ako sa tabing dagat at nagpahangin.

Habang nagmumuni ako sa tabing dagat ay tumabi sa akin si Kuya Luis. To be honest mas close ako kay Kuya Luis compare kay Kuya Alfy, he's more protective than Kuya Alfy and he always push me to come out of my safe circle.

"Where were you earlier Kuya?" I ask him. Looking far away.

"Nauna na kaming kumain nila Dad, what are you doing here? You can get sunburn it's so hot in here, dito mo pa nakuhang magtambay." He said and i lay my head in his shoulder.

"You did not answer my question but to answer your question its just that its very peaceful hear. No noise just the sound of the waze and its helping me forget our family problem even for some minute." I mutter quietly.

We just sat their until Ate Xabdra called us at uuwi na daw kami.

"So lets go?" He stand up and offer his hands for me. I grab his hands at pumunta muna sa mga room namin to grab our luggages.

When i got in our room nandoon na din si Mama Imee grabbing her things.

"Where have you been? I've been looking for you, hindi mo pa natatapos yung kinakain mo umalis ka na." She exclaim.

"I was with Kuya Luis po. We're by the seashore." I said acting like i didn't heard what she lastly said. Kinuha lahat ng gamit ko palabas.

"Here let me help you with that Mama." I help Mama with her things then dumating sila Kuya Matt and Kuya Borgy to help us with our luggages.

"Ah Mama? Can i request something?" I speak at napatingin naman siya sa akin.

"What is it? Do you want to eat first?" She ask.

"No Mama I'm okay but c-can i stay with you for a week please Mama?" I said unsure if she'll let me stay with her.

"Tin dont you want to give your Mom a chan-" before she can finish i cut her.

"Of course i want to Mama but it'll just get awkward in the house, baka magkulong na lang din ako sa kwarto ko and i need to slowly process what's happening. So please payagan mo na ako Mama? Its just for a week, i promise uuwi na ako after that." I told her and she look unsure.

"Okay I'll let you stay with me but if both your parents agree." She said that made me sad because I'm sure na di nila ako papayagan, even my brothers.

I just walk faster than them baka maawa si Mama sa akin? Well i hope so.

"Tin." She call me pero di ko siya pinansin at pumunta kung nasaan sila Mama Meldy.

After namin mag check out sa hotel ay dumiretso na kami sa airport.

Pagkatapos ng halos higit isang oras na byahe ay dumiretso muna kami sa house nila Pops.

Hindi pa din pinapansin nila Kuya and Daddy si Mommy. So i feel bad kung sakaling aalis ako, I'm sure Mommy would get lonely.

"Ah Irene?" Mama Imee call Mommy.

"Ano yun Manang?" Mommy speak.

"Would you let Tin stay wi-" I didn't let Mama finish before i speak.

"Ah Mama I change my mind." I utter and Mama gave me a confused look. Hinila niya ako sa isang tabi and ask me why i change my mind.

"You're right Mama I'll give her a Chance." I said at iniwan siya.
