Chapter 10

Heart

I enjoyed spending my weekend with the kids and of course kasama si Haylee. Our feeding program became successful and it always makes me happy. At least...I feel loved. I surrounded by people who's happy to be with me. Sinamahan ko pa silang bumili ng refrigerator doon sa kakilala kong may-ari ng appliances shop. Nakadiscount pa kami. Haylee's mother cook biko for me as a thanks giving kahit sinabi kong 'wag na.

" I heard nagpafeeding program na naman kayo?" Dad asked while we are eating dinner. Ilang araw na simula noong nagkasabay-sabay kaming maghaponan. I'm very happy. I always want to eat dinner with them. I cooked all the dishes with the help my our maids.

" Yes Dad. " I reply with a smile. He nodded his head. Halata sa mukha nito sa wala siya masyadong pahinga. Minsan nalang rin ito kung umuwi pati si Mom. " You look tired, Dad. You should rest. " Nag-aalalang tanong ko.

He look up at me and wipe his mouth using the tissue. " I need to work harder so I can give all you want. Malaki ang pangangailangan natin ngayon. " I keep quiet. I wanted to say na hindi na nila kailangang problemahin ang pangangailangan ko since I can work for myself. Mom continue eating at malalim ang iniisip. Nababahala narin ako sakanila.

" Don't worry about me, Dad. " I assure him. He nodded his head.

" I know you can handle yourself, Heart. Si Sunny ang inaalala ko." I felt a little pain cross my heart but I dodge it. I don't want to feel envious. I don't want to live that way.

" Dad hindi na ako bata." I heard ate Sunny said and glance at me for seconds pero agad ding umiwas nang ngumiti ako sakanya.

" Nah. You're still our baby. Diba hon? You remembered the day she was born? Ang ganda-ganda niya at para siyang isang angel na binigay ni Lord saatin." Dad happily said and Mom agreed and start to talk about ate.

I shouldn't feel sad but I can't help it. Nandito pa ako...but I feel like I don't belong here at all.

" Anyway, your birthday is next week, Heart. What's your plan? I hope you're not planning to throw a luxurious party dahil hindi pa tayo pwedeng gumastos nang gumastos ngayon." Mom said to me.

I almost forgot about my birthday. Masyado lang akong naging busy sa mga seminars at program ko.

Umiling ako ng bahagya. " I always want to have a birthday dinner with my family. That will do. " I said. Iyon naman talaga ang plano ko. Malaki naman ang ipon ko kaya lang ayokong gumastos pa. Sapat na saaking makakasama ko sila sa birthday ko.

Mom smile at me. " Good. What about gifts?" She ask.

" Don't bother, Mom. Masaya na akong makakapagdinner tayong apat." I utter and smile at them.

After the dinner ay kanya-kanyang alis na sila kaya niligpit ko ang mga pinagkainan pero nagpumilit sila Ate Judith na sila na ang bahala kaya umakyat na ako sa taas dahil may mga papers pa akong aasikasuhin. Habang busy ako sa isang document na binabasa ko ay tumawag si Reselle.

" Yes?"

" Can you come with me tomorrow afternoon?" She ask and my forehead furrowed.

" Where?"

" My cousin's wedding. Bukas na kasi ang kasal niya and I don't have company." Alam kong nakanguso na ito. I chuckles.

" Why don't you invite Riz?" I teased. I know she's rolling her eyes at me.

" Stop being a cupid, Rain. " Saway niya.

" Sinong pinsan pala? Kilala ko ba?" I ask.

" Ah anak ng kapatid ni Dad. Si Solene. She's marrying one of the Luis heirs. " Oh wow.
