Ring...Ring...Ring...
Moi: Hello. Good evening!
Adam: Good evening. May I speak with Mr. Dante Rabanera (my father)?
Moi: I'm sorry but he's in the province right now. May I know who's calling please?
Adam: Ay ganon... This is Adam. Do you happen to know when is he coming back to Manila?
Moi: I'm not sure e. Is this Adam as in the son of tito Paul Reyes?
Adam: Yes...
Moi: Hey kuya. This is Rose Lyn. We've heard the news about your dad. Condolence ha?
Adam: Alam nyo na pala... Thanks. It was actually a peaceful death. Liver failure. He said din pala na walag iiyak or else mumultuhin nya. haha
Moi: I see...
Adam: I called just to inform your dad sana. Just tell him that we're having a small gathering with dad's closest friends next saturday night here in our house but it might be a 2-day event coz some of dad's classmates in Beda are coming.
Moi: Yeah. Napanood ni mommy sa tv 'yung news... Sige, I'll just tell him.
Adam: Alright. Thanks Rose Lyn. Goodnight...
Moi: No problem. Goodnight. bye
I got the call a few minutes after I arrived home (while preparing to eat my SUPER late dinner). It was a very depressing call considering that tito paul was very close to our family. Before he died he would often call and ask how's law school and if I happen to be interested in working for GMA 7. We also shared the same interest in paranormals which others may perceive as kinda weird. Well, I have to admit that IT IS weird.Oh well, I guess good guys really die young. I'm just thankful that he died peacefully.
So there, now my tummy's really growling but eating is definitely not in my list at this point. hay...
Life is one big debate tournament. You travel for out-of-town venues, do foodtrips along the way, party during break nights, get disappointed for missed opportunities, cheer during victorious moments, cry over bad adjudication or wrong decisions, but you only need your friends and loved ones to make everything tolerable.
