Definitely the Best!

Before we go to my Papa, we should have a text message or call from him that he would be free on the following weekends. So last Thursday my mother received a text from him that if we can go to him this weekend, because he will be very busy on the next weekends.  My Mama said yes to him, and booked four tickets right away. Of course the plane tickets cost a lot of money because our departure is too soon. But it’s okay for we know that it’s just nothing in the name of our love for our Papa.

This morning was our flight to Cebu to visit Papa. I was very excited to see him and boast all the things that happened to us here in Iloilo.  I can’t sleep last night with all of the thoughts in my mind. Instead of sleeping I just watched movies until the time my sleepiness brought me to the bed.  I woke up at five in the morning and help Madame Bracken, our helper to prepare all the food that we are going to bring for Papa.

Time moves so fast and it was already seven. I took a bath and prepare myself for our lunch at Cebu. Our flight was at 10:05 and we arrived at the airport at 9: 45. \m/ We are the last ones to check-in then we ran upstairs and directly board our aircraft. OHMIGOSH! The plane was waiting for us. And it feels awesome!

And finally the four of us arrived at Cebu by 11:00 a.m. Upon arrival we directly went to my Papa’s place. There, we waited for 30 minutes or so… then one of his staff told us that my father can’t go eat lunch with us, because there was an accident at the site.  I feel so bad about it. I thought to myself he prioritizes more his  staff than  his own  family. I can’t explain how/what I felt that time all I know is that we came for nothing!

The plans that I have when I see my Papa faded.  And it makes me want to cry, but I thought to myself that crying will do no good at all. So we just ate the lunch that we prepared for him and went to the mall to cool down.

While roaming around the mall, Papa called and says his sorry. Hearing his voice made me cry like there’s no tomorrow. I told him I was very mad at him and doesn’t want to talk to him anymore! (Yikes! I really sounded like brat!) For him to make up on what he did, he came to the mall and buy us clothes that we wanted  and treat us a cup of gelato which is very yummy!

After an hour or two, we need to say goodbye to my father, because my Mama has to work tomorrow. I cried once again to him and say my sorry for the things I told him. He was very understanding and just hugged me and kissed me. That time I realize to myself how I’m deeply loved by my father. And I realized to myself, I don’t have any reason to be mad at him because he’s doing all the sacrifices just to make our lives better. I can say my Papa is not a perfect one, but he is definitely the best!
