Epilogue
"Zad, anak, Dianarra keeps on calling me the whole day. Tinatanong kung nasaan ka. Hindi mo ba siya tinatawagan?"
I can't help but to release a frustrated sigh after hearing those words from my mother. I massaged my temples as I looked at the pile of documents over my table.
It's a usual busy day for me. Nakakapagod pero normal na lang naman iyon lalo pa at ako lang ang maaasahan ni Papa sa pamamahala ng negosyo namin. My twin is not that hands on when it comes to our own empire. Zephania is the one who's in charge of my mother's family business. Hati sila ng pinsan kong si Dashiel.
I drummed the endpoint of my sign pen against the wooden table and leaned the back of my head against the back rest.
"Let her, Ma. Don't answer her phone calls. Tatawagan ko na lang siya pagkatapos nitong paguusap natin." sagot ko hindi kalaunan, wala sa usapan ang atensyon.
"Do you have a problem, Zad?"
"Wala, Mama. I was just busy the whole day. Ngayon ko lang rin nahawakan ang cellphone ko. Don't worry."
Her soft breathing echoed across the line. "Fine. Don't exhaust yourself too much, anak. Kailan ka bibisita rito sa bahay natin?"
"I'll try tomorrow night. Diyan na lang ako kakain ng hapunan."
"I'll wait for you then. I love you, Zadriel."
My lips couldn't help but to stretch for a smile whenever I hear those words from her. She never fails to tell my sister and I how much she loves us. Madalas man sabihin ni Mama ang salitang iyon sa akin, pakiramdam ko ay hindi kailanman ako magsasawa. She's the main reason why I strive harder to become the person she wants me to become. Making her proud is my only goal. I always want to make her feel loved. Mapunan ko man lang ang puwang sa puso niya dahil sa maagang pagkawala ni Kuya Reon dito sa mundo.
My eyes bore into the round wall clock beside my family's portrait. I still have an hour left before I can call this a day. May ilang dokumento pa ako na kailangan pirmahan at aralin, sa tingin ko naman ay matatapos ko rin ito sa loob ng isang oras.
As soon as that phone call with my mother put into end, I concentrated back on my work and continued signing the papers. Muling tumunog ang cellphone ko. Thinking that it's Mama again and that she forgets to tell me something, I picked my phone up and accepted the call without even taking a peek at the screen.
"Yeah?" I answered lazily.
"That's what you are going to say after of not picking up my calls the whole day?"
My pen was suddenly put on hold as my eyes shut tightly the moment I recognized that voice. Mariin akong huminga ng malalim.
"Dianarra..." My voice was restrained as I leaned my back against the swivel chair again. This time, I literally feel the exhaustion that comes out of my body.
