I’ve been very busy these past
few weeks. My mother and nieces had
their vacation in Manila. Then, a day after they went back to Naga, I was informed that my mom was admitted
to the hospital. Without a second
thought, I boarded a bus going to Naga, leaving my work to the members of the committee I was heading up. When I
arrived, I found out that my mom was transferred to the ICU while my father was
also admitted. Imagine the anxiety. But God is indeed good. Both of my parents are home now although my mom has not completely recovered
yet. The hospital bills were settled. My differential (I got promoted!) was timely
credited to my account. My superior and colleagues were very
considerate. My relatives and friends
showered us with so much love and support.
When I got back to the office, as
expected, I was bombarded with work and responsibilities. The
presentation we prepared had to be redone
in one week. My colleague in charge for video editing informed me that she had to
start from scratch. I was very anxious
since video editing is something that I don’t know. And all I could do is to
trust her assurance that she could deliver on time. Despite
the pressure, I did my best to remain composed. I tried
my best not to nag or throw a fit. I
tried hard to be graceful even under
pressure. Thank God, we were able to deliver an output
as wanted by our bosses.
After the presentation had been
finalized, I wanted to relax and see a movie.
I asked my niece and my baby’s yaya to accompany me, to which they said
yes. However, they changed their minds and
opted to go somewhere without my permission.
I was really fuming with anger especially that they brought Baby C with
them. They also lied that they just went
to the lobby. The thought that they were hiding something intensified my anger. However, I bit my tongue because I was afraid
that I might say hurtful words. Instead,
I walked out. I went to the mall alone and resolved that I will talk to
them when I get back.
When I arrived home…
This was the first time my husband surprised me. I was really clueless. I never expected it because, you know, my husband is not the ma-surprise type of guy. I was really touched.
When I asked him, "Anong nakain mo?" He said, "Sabi kasi nung pari sa kasal ni ****, dapat daw sweet pa din kahit mag-asawa na."
The reason why my niece and Ate "sneaked out" of the house because my husband asked them to
buy food and stuff.
I am glad that I remained composed. I would have ruined their sweet surprise had I not bit my tongue.
To all my ka-mother, belated Happy Mother’s Day!
Ang sweet! My hubby is not that sweet too! Though he baked lasagna on Mother's Day, ok na din kesa sa wala diba? Belated Happy Mother's Day to you sis!
ReplyDeleteAkala ko nga may nagawang masama sakin yung asawa ko kaya bumabawi. haha. Galing naman ng hubby mo, marunong sa kusina.
DeleteGood to know your parents are now okay. Hindi ko maimagine ang sarili ko kung paano magre-react kapag parents ko naman ang maysakit although I know it's inevitable. It will come sooner or later. Ako pa naman ang panganay samin.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day! Ayiieee, ang sweet naman ni hubby. Kaya dapat kalma lang madalas, hehe. :)
Kalma on the outside, kabado on the inside. Buti na din lang, nurse ang brother at sis-in-law ko. At yung mga relatives namin, all-out ang support.
