Sometimes I forget that my son has been living abroad for the past four years. Sometimes I go to his room and expect that he would be there. I miss him around the house. I miss seeing him in his room.
I went to Megamall the other day. Nalimutan ko na bakit ako nagpunta…. hmmm….i went for some errands.
I went to Phoa, the one in the basement of Building B, to take home some food for my kids. I ordered my kids’ favorite and mine too –fresh spring rolls. I ordered four.
While I was waiting, parang natauhan ako. Bakit ba I ordered a lot? Supposedly one for me, one for Edmund, one for Oyen, and one for Nyke. Sobra. I couldn’t cancel one order because their cook was already preparing my orders.
Nalimutan ko talaga wala ang anak kong lalaki.
When I got home, while Edmund and I were having dinner. He asked me where the spring rolls came from. Sabi ko I went to Megamall for some errands. When I told him that I over-ordered spring rolls from Phoa because I totally forgot that my son’s away, he said “mother’s instinct”.
My heart melts
