Every Sunset was Once a Sunrise

Epilogue part 1

“Rafiele, your mom called.”

“Something happened?” kuryoso kong tanong nang sandaling matigilan sa ginagawang paghihiwa ng gulay.

My parents stayed in touch with each other after parting ways, but my father rarely talked about my mother, unlike now. And surely, having a broken family is kind of complicated in many aspects. But the years slowly made me understand why things had to end in a certain way between them.

My father looked carefully at me with a sigh, then he drawled, “Your sister just got married.”

Balewala akong tumango bilang kumpirmasyon.

“At bumukod siya mula sa puder ng mom mo.”

Ipinagpatuloy ko ang ginagawa habang dinidinig si Dad. “She did.”

Naaninag ko ang pagtango niya. “Listen, son. If you understand, then I need you to move in with your mother for the mean time.”
