My mom is panicking. Bakit siya biglaang nandito? Nakarating na bas a kaniya ang tutngkol sa amin ni Xander? Paano na?
I am just here at the door. Looking at her in distraught while she's packing my clothes. She suddenly stops, raising a piece of cloth on her hand. She glanced at me and back to the cloth she's holding. I immediately went to her and stole that cloth that happens to be my son's shirt.
"Mom, stop it. What are you doing?"
"Whose shirt was that?"
"Nasama sa na-shop ko kahapon. Napulot ko 'di ko napansin."
Mahina akong nagmura. What a dumb excuse!
Binalik ko ang damit na iyon sa pinakailalim na parte ng cabinet. Binuksan ko ang pangalawa at sinubukang ibalik rin ang iba ko pang damit ngunit pinigil niya ang mga kamay ko.
"Mama, ano ba!"
"We'll go back to Cebu," she said.
