Heartbeat

"How's your flight?" Mom asked as soon as I greeted her with a long hug and kiss from her cheek.

"It's fine, Mom."

Then I turned to faced my Dad beside her. Tipid akong ngumiti nang mapansin ang pag aalangan nitong dahulan ako. I teared up just by looking at how nervous he is. Kahit kakaunting buwan lamang ang itinagal ng pag layo ko, pakiramdam ko ay labis ang ikinatanda niya mula noon.

"Daddy, don't you missed me too?" I chuckled.

Daddy released a warm smile before he embraced me. It was a tight and long hug. Pinalis ko ang luhang kumawala sa mata ko, kasabay ng pag kirot ng kung ano sa dibdib ko.

I've been wanting to feel this for so long. Since I was a kid, I never experienced this kind of sweetness from my Parents. Nakakatawang isipin na ngayon ko pa iyon mararanasan, kung kailan matanda na ako.

"I'm so sorry anak," Daddy whispered. My heart hurts when I heard his soft yet heavy sobs.

I caressed his back. Naramdaman ko ang pagdalo ni Mommy sa amin, pagilid kaming niyayakap. I smiled sweetly as I closed my eyes.

"It's okay Dad. It's all in the past now.." sagot ko nang makawala sa pagkakayakap nila.

Kish was just standing behind us with Brix. Pinakilala niya ang boyfriend kina Mommy. Mabuti na lang at pumayag na dito kami manatili kasama ang boyfriend niya.

"Ayos na ang guestrooms, you can now assist them Exzerie.."

Iyon ang ginawa namin sa araw na 'yon. I've been very busy by arranging our things. We also rest the whole day, kaya nang magising ako ay halos madaling araw na. Tulog na ang lahat, kaya't minabuti kong kumain muna. The last time that I ate was early in the afternoon.

I cooked a pasta, toasted some bread and make a cup of coffee. I ate alone at the dining area. I suddenly thought about Seymour and their concert yesterday. Kumusta kaya sila?

I suddenly remembered what happened on their last concert that I knew. It didn't went well because of the incident. Napabuga ako nang malakas na hininga nang mag play sa utak ko ang nangyari noon.

I immediately grabbed my phone to distract myself. I tried browsing through my Instagram account. Iyon pa lang ang nagagawa ko na account, tingin ko naman ay ayos lang iyon?

My heart started to thundered again when I saw a lot of message request from Seymour again.

snxeln: Hi.

snxeln: Manager Ryle just confirmed it to me. This is your new account right?

Napapikit ako sa nabasa. Shit! Bakit ba hindi ko 'to naisip?

snxeln: You're not responding. You're not even reading my messages. :(

snxeln: Am I bothering you? I'm sorry, I just want us to talk. I'll wait for your response, don't worry. I'm not in a hurry, I can damn wait for you.

Bakit ang kulit niya? Hindi ba't may concert sila kahapon? Bakit parang hindi naman siya naging busy?

snxeln: Before this night ended, I just want to greet you again..

snxeln: Happy Anniversary. I miss you so much. Thank you for coming home.

My heart ached, thinking about how good our relationship was when we were just starting, it makes me want to cry in pain and frustration.

Our anniversary is just officially started. It was actually not the same day of their Band's anniversary. It was the next day, after theirs. Mali lang siguro siya ng akala, dahil madaling araw na nang maging kami noon.
