The Missing Piece Of Me

Chapter 34

Waiting for your call, I'm sick
Call, I'm angry
Call, I'm desperate for your voice
Listening to the song we used to sing in the car
Do you remember, Butterfly, Early Summer
It's playing on repeat
Just like when we would meet, like when we would meet

I was born to tell you I love you,
And I am torn to do what I have to,
To make you mine
Stay with me tonight

"I love you!", I uttered right  after answering Deanna's call.

"Miss me that much?", pang-aasar niya.

"Of course. Ikaw lang di nakakamiss sakin eh", pagpapalambing ko.

"Hindi raw? I miss you every single second of every day kaya. I super miss you. Hays", she sighed and sang the next lines.

Stripped and polished, I am new, I am fresh
I am feeling so ambitious, you and me, flesh to flesh
'Cause every breath that you will take
While you are sitting next to me
Will bring life into my deepest hopes
What's your fantasy?
What's your, what's your, what's your, what's your

I was born to tell you I love you,
And I am torn to do what I have to,
To make you mine
Stay with me tonight

"Maganda naman pala boses eh. Hiya-hiya pa", I cheerfully told her after she hit the notes.

"Thank you, Love haha atin atin lang 'to baka madiscover ako eh!", she exclaimed "Loveee, gotta go. I love you", she ended the call afterwards.

"I love you too", I whispered in the air.

And I'm tired of being all alone,
And this solitary moment
Makes me want to come back home

And I'm tired of being all alone,
And this solitary moment
Makes me want to come back home

And I'm tired of being all alone,
And this solitary moment
Makes me want to come back home

And I'm tired of being all alone,
And this solitary moment
Makes me want to come back home

I was born to tell you I love you
And I am torn to do what I have to,
And I was born to tell you I love you,
And I am torn to do what I have to,
To make you mine
Stay with me tonight

It's been a month since I left Philippines for Dad's surgery. I rejected  every means of communication on social world just to focus on dad's condition na rin and because I don't want to feel empty. Most of the time si Deanna lang ang kausap ko or kaya yung iba kong teammates na nangangamusta.

Opening na ng season and I can't catch up, uulitin ko ang pag-aaral dahil na rin sa nandito ako but it's fine w/ me as long as alam kong stable si papa.

Flashback

The next day...

"I'll wait for you my wife!", she told me while hugging me tight.

"You should", tinarayan ko siya habang nakayakap.

Lumabas na ako sa kotse at siya rin
Pumasok na kami sa airport at sinulit ang moments namin nang magkasama. We already did our promises on private dahil lowkey naman kami.

We did our last hug as I stepped foot and walked away from her.

Parting is such a sweet sorrow.

End.

"Anak", my mom tapped my shoulder.

"Ma? Gutom na kayo? What do u want po?", tanong ko  naman sa kaniya dahil medyo nabigla ako.

"I'm fine. Ikaw? Are u okay? Isang buwan na tayo dito pero wala kang kinikwento", marahan niyang sagot.

"Okay lang, Ma. I just miss home pero gusto kong umuwi don kasama kayo. Five months lang, Ma. Di ba?", I cheerfully told her and hugged quickly.

"Yes, Anak. Konti na lang. Gagaling na rin ang papa mo", she smiled a genuine one and told me her childhood stories to pave the tension and boredom we're feeling.

Let's sleep.
