I was looking intently at Wine’s test papers for the First Periodical Exams. Boy! he did bad on Filipino subject. How could he? . He didn’t study. That’s why. But Me and my Mama had made sure he answered the questionnaire I prepared for him. We made sure he answered it right and understood every bit of it more importantly. So…. How come??? Anyway, this really made me feeling bad and feeling incapable of making this job at least a bearable one on the good side.
Getting online on Skype with Woody last night felt good. I haven’t heard from him for the last 24 hours. He was flying back to KSA from our Eid break holiday. We talked about how both our flights went and He asked me how the kids were. I started telling him how the exams went good for Water and how it also went good for Wine on some subjects. As I started telling him how I feel , I just can’t stop and eventually was able to let myself show that I am worried, disappointed and somehow questioning my abilities of being a stay-home mom. I ended up telling him about the Filipino subject result. He ask me if I had talk to Wine about it and I said No ,not yet because I actually don’t know what to say. As I have written on my previous blog, Would I be mad? I don’t have the answers too.
Have you ever feel so committed to somebody in a relationship that made every single bit of it exceptionally great?Well that’s how I was feeling chatting on Skype with him. All these years I still can’t figure out how he easily can read my mind even if I just started to think of a thought.
Right there and then he was laughing just as hard as I was feeling worried. He told me, “ don’t ever make this get you down. It is just a test result. I know it is serious but it’s funny. Come to think of it!”…. Uhmm yeah! I can see myself rolling my eyeballs and raising an eyebrow! In my mind , I am screaming that I am thinking about it so much , but I can never find a tiny bit about it to consider funny ! The expression on my face must have started to show that I am getting pissed at him for real that he stop laughing. Well , he didn’t completely stop laughing but is smiling and told me “Don’t stress yourself about it, If Bisaya is your National Language, Wine wouldn’t find it so hard I guess. Too bad It’s not!” At first, I was speechless. It took some seconds more to think and digest what he just said. then I laugh. For somebody who doesn’t even speak both Filipino, much more Bisaya , how could he think of such things? I can’t think of any reason other than…. He just love somebody who happens to be Bisaya with Bisaya speaking kids. Anyone just can get so lucky , Right? I guess in this lifetime I happen to be the one at some point!
So , maybe later I will find time to talk to Wine. This time my dialogue is ready. “Bisaya – as the national language according to Daddy, but too bad it’s not! so I guess we just have to study about it more. We will, right Wine?” . I just hope this would work.
