| 46 | Roma & Julie

NAKANGIWING INABOT SA akin ni Roma ang box ng tissue na agad ko namang tinanggap. We were watching Pixar's Coco at the living room with the twins.

“Seriously, Julie?”

Pagkatapos kong magpunas ng luha at suminga sa tissue na kinuha ko ay nilingon ko siya. “What? My parents don't approve of my career plan, too. It hits close to home,” giit ko pa.

That was in the past but I can still relate to Miguel for wanting to pursue his passion for music in which his family would always disapprove.

Sunod naman kaming napatingin kay Maki na sumisinghot-singhot din sa pwesto niya sa tabi ni Roma.

“And you too?” panunukso pa ni Roma sa anak naming umiyak na talaga.

Mari and I chuckled. Hinampas ko naman nang marahan si Roma sa balikat niya para magtigil na sa kakakulit sa anak niya.

“Aw, my baby's touched...” pambawi niya sabay yakap at nanggigigil
