Chapter 32
"Zeev, sagutin mo na yan maybe she wants to see you"
"Ay, bad" Because Zeev totally shut down his phone.
"They are so mean, I already cleared things to them"
"You changed a lot, hindi kana yong state guy nong Senior High tayo" I said while slicing this dish in front of me.
"Because I meet you, since I met you I started to realized things. You're right, I should not play girl, because they are not just an easy game. They should respect and cherish... Like this girl in front of me"
"Ang chessy mo Zeev, nasan na yung pagiging cool mo" I teasingly said.
"Irene, you know that I had a feelings inside, para sayo. Pero gusto ko lang sabihin, don't put too much pressure about it. I'll wait, and I'll accept your decision at the end of the day"
His last word before we parted ways.
Zeev, had beed a great man beside me. And I'm starting to see him for my life, lalo pa sa mga sinabi niya ngayon.
"Mama!" Agad akong sinalubong ni Thirdy ng mahigpit na yakap ng pumasok ako sa loob ng apartment.
"Let's pack your things, pupunta tayo sa cemetery para bisitahin si Lola"
I grabbed his bag, at alam na ni Thirdy kung ano ang dapat gawin, ang paglalagay ng face towel, polbos, at extra shirt niya.
We ride a bus, going to cemetery. At paulit-ulit kapag papunta kami sa cemetery, he'll going to ask me about the feature of his Lola. At walang kapagurang ko namang sinasagot ito sakanya.
Nang makarating kami sa puntod ni Mama, agad akong tinulungan ni Thirdy sa pagsisindi ng kandila. I'm really missing my mother.
"You know what Thirdy, ang sarap magluto ni Lola"
"At, he's my number supporter noon about my dreams and studies. She'll going to out all of her effort just to support Mama"
Buong oras na nasa cemetery kami, ay ginugol ko sa pagkwe-kwento kay Thirdy, about kay Mama. Miss na miss ko na nga siya.
"Anak, I know you really wanted to see Lola, and I'm also missing her too. Let just think, this cool breeze, she's hugging us" Lumapit ako kay Thirdy at niyakap ko siya.
We smiled to each other, at parang hinaplos ang puso ko ng masilayan ang napakatamis na ngiti ng anak ko.

I'm feeling a little bit sad, kasi it's another week of being busy again. But more feeling of hope again to continue this long journey of my life with my son, and the people that has been so fine in my side.
Pagkatapos kong maghatid kay Thirdy sa school niya. Ay tumakbo nako, patungo sa train station. I can't deny that it was really hard, siksikan ang lahat.
Kinakabahan nako dahil mali-late nako sa first class.
Inside the class, I'm with just myself for the entire class hour. I don't know why, why most of my classmates didn't try to be friends with me. Siguro dahil, alam nilang may anak na'ko. Pero okay lang naman, hindi ko naman sila mapipilit kung ayaw talaga nila saakin.
But now, I think I really need someone. Our professor assinged us to have a partner on the activity of his units.
Wala akong imik sa isang gilid ng classroom namin.
Halos karamihan ng mga classmates kong mga babae ay, may mga ka-partner na.
"Hi, pwede makipag-partner sayo sa activity"
