Still Happy Ending

 "You're dad text me." Mom casually told me yesterday morning. I stare at her hoping to see the depths of her heart.

Its more than a year (16 months to be exact) since my mom let go of my dad to be with his so called - wife, though my parents aren't not legally separated. Since then, I can see how my mom became carefree and happy. However whenever she talks about dad, she become tense and somehow, I can see the loneliness in her eyes behind her strong voice...

"He was asking if I'm doing fine" she continued.
"And?" I asked her.
"I said that Im okay." I smiled. She sounds so calm now.
"...I also told him that his wife might get jealous if she will know that he sent me messages..." I wanted to laugh and tease my mom but I don't
have the energy to do so."...he replied saying that his wife is beside him while sending me a message. His wife will give birth to their first baby by the end of June. He was also asking if you and your sister is doing fine."
 "And?" I ask her again. I'm not sure if I'm still holding  a grudge against my dad, but I'm sure that I can't still forgive him for hurting mom and leaving us, his real family.
"I told him that you're younger sister is working part time now and you're also working" she replied.

My younger sister is getting ready for her part time job.

"Ma, did you ever miss dad?" Arrrggg! I didn't think before asking that, stupid me.
"Yeah! Ma, I wanted to ask the same question!" My sister back me up perfectly (=_= ;)
"Sometimes..."

Ahhh there it goes again... Those lonely brown eyes. I'm controlling myself not to get too emotional. I can't stand looking at her knowing how much pain she'd been through because of dad.

"Did you ever thought Ma, that everything could have been perfect if only dad didn't do those things?"

"Well yes.. but things are better this way. Also there are just things that are better left the way they are." I have never seen her looked so refreshing as she is now.

Well since my dad will be having his first baby boy he have been dreaming for and my mom is fine with it, I guess I'll just let them be.

As a daughter, I can be selfish and tell them to stay together so that my family wont be labeled as broken but I'd rather see them living separately yet happy than living together with pains and sorrow, blaming and hating each other.

My parents have decided to walk ahead in different paths. They have accepted things as they are since it is the best thing that they can do.

Life isn't always perfect huh...  Anyway, they still live happily ever after, and it is the only thing that matters to me.
