Chapter 5: Hear Our Call, Brye
“Oh, anong problema mo, you look sick.” Her kuya Sheldon noticed. Eto ang panganay sa kanilang tatlong magkakapatid. Tinutulangan nito ang kanilang papa sa pag mamanage ng kanilang family business, katulad rin ng kanyang ate Siera.
“magpahinga ka nga sa kwarto mo, ang putla mo kaya. Are you sick?” “Don’t worry about me kuya, I’m fine. Napagod lang po ako. Wala kang pasok, bakit nandito ka pa?” “Pinakuha ni papa etong mga papeles.” He answered showing her a thick folder.
“Nga pala, your professor called a while ago. Pinapatong kung maipapasa mo na ba daw sa lunes yung research papers mo.” “Oh yeah, tapos ko na yun. Sige kuya akyat na ko. Ingat sa pag drive, mamaya maaksidente ka na naman.” Ginulo nito ang buhok niya.
“Opo. Ang sweet naman ng baby girl ko.” She pouted,
“I’m not a baby anymore.” But he just laughs at her, and waved goodbye. For a moment there she forgot her problems, but now that she is alone, everything come running back to her like a flood that is trying to drown her. Like a wind that is trying to suffocate her. She runs to her room before anyone could see the sadness in her face, and before could anyone ask why.
She walks toward her bed and sit. She took the pregnancy test from her bag, and gaze at it hoping that if she looked at it real hard the result would change. After a moment she stands up and walks to her cabinet; above it is a photo of her and Brye. She took it and retuned to the bed.
She touched Brye’s face,
“what did I do to deserve this Brye? All I ever did was love you, masama ba yun?”She tried so hard to keep herself from crying. She wanted to be strong for herself and for this baby, and only weak people cry.
“I need you right now Brye. Bakit mo ako iniwan kung kailan kailangang kailangan kita. Magiging tatay ka na, pero asan ka ngayon? Ayaw kung isipin napinagtataguan mo ko, pero ayun na lang yung tanging dahilang naiisip ko kung bakit wala ka sa tabi.” She said talking to Brye’s picture as if she’s talking to the real one. Even how hard she tried to pretend na matatag siya, a crybaby would always stay a crybaby. And so tears started falling on Brye’s picture. She put it above her stomach and said,
“Kung ayaw mo kong pakinggan, please listen to your child. Ayan siya Brye, mas kailangan ka niya higit sa akin. Pakinggan mo siya at sana marealize mong may mga taong umaasa sayo sa mga oras na to. Kung nasaan ka man, sana maisip mo yung responsibilidad na dapat mong panagutan.” Humiga siya sa kama na patuloy pa rin sa pag-iyak habang yakap yakap ang mga larawan nila ng dating kasintahan. She was on that state when so fall asleep.
She woke up at 6:45 pm. She yawned and looked at the clock.
“Hala grabe, nakatulog pala ako.” She took her phone and checked it for any messages. There was one and it was from Laila.
“When you welcome your emotions as teachers, every emotion brings good news, even the ones that are painful.”
So ayn frend, wg k mwln ng pgasa. Alwys be optmstc. God hs a plan 4 u, trst hm. Hey dn’t frgt 2 make an appointment wth ur dctr ok? Msyd k p nmn mkklmtin
She smiled at Laila’s message. She dialed her doctors number and wait for the answer.
“Hello, Sanisha?” “Doc. Hernandez? Yeah it’s me Sanisha. I would want an appointment with you tomorrow, mga 7 in the morning. May pasok po kasi ako ng 9 eh.” “Sure hija, may problema ba?” “Bukas ko nalang po ipapaliwanag. Sige po, Bye.” “Ok, bye.” After she ended her call she decided to leave Laila a message.
“I hve mde my appoinmnt na. Lai, I’m scared. Natatakot ako kc bka mlmn nla papa. Pero nla2ksan ko ung loob ko. Lai I miz u n tlga. Wg k n rply. Bba n me eh.”
She left her room, and went downstairs. Sa sala she saw her mom watching TV. She walks toward her and give her a kiss on the cheeks.
“Ano naman po yang pinapanood mo at namamaga na naman po yang mata mo, ma? Bakit kasi ang hilig hilig niyo po sa telenovela?” “Hay na ko hayaan mo ang matanda sa hilig niya.” She smiled, yes matanda na nga ang mommy niya pero napakabata pa rin nitong tignan. At the age of 58, she could still pass as a model. Her mom was a very beautiful woman, but like her she has never learned how to be tough. Naniniwala kasi ang mommy niya na hindi magkapantay ang lalaki at babae. Her mom believes that a wife should stay in the house to take care of the children. Hindi naman sa under ang mama niya ng kanyang papa, because her papa loves her mom so much. Kahit kasi matanda na silang dalawa ay sweet pa ri sila sa isa’t isa. Hindi yun nawala sa paglipas ng panahon, kung hindi mas hinubog pa iyon sa pagdaan ng mga araw sa kanilang buhay. She always envies her parents. She has always dream of finding a man like her dad, she had always thought it was Brye. Pero ngayon, nagdadalawang isip na siya kung si Brye nga ba talaga yun.
“Why the sad face?” her mom noticed
“Wala po, iniisip ko lang. . .makakahanap kaya ako ng lalaking tulad ni dad? Yun bang . . . tatanda akong kasama siya.” Her mom sits next to her, and touch her face.
“Don’t worry, dadating din yung lalaking yun sa buhay mo. Malay mo, na’meet mo na pala siya hindi mo lang napansin. Just be patient and wait for him. Ok?” Sanisha nodded.
