The dreams

Reality strikes hard right now. This is so shameful, how unfortunate of me to meet my long-time crush while I am in this dirt… Aaaaaarghhhh!!!! Why now…!!!

My heart was stomping so hard because of my situation. Jaina was staring at me like I am such a loser. I was bumped by a big man who didn't even bother picking me up or even said sorry. And now my dear Jaina whom I've been dreaming of just saw me like I'm a pig in a barn.

I rushed standing up trying to run from this shameful event, I was running like someone was chasing me. As I got home, my mom stared at me with eyes shocked. I quickly explained what happened to me and I even shared with her that Jaina saw me while I was on that dirt.

I never expected what my mom's reaction was. She laughed so hard like there is no tomorrow. I was expecting her to be angry but instead, she thought it was so cute of me to be so shy of the girl I was dreaming for.

Yes! She knew!

She knew that Jaina was my childhood crush since we were in grade school. I always tell my mom that I want to marry Jaina when I get older. I am now a Senior High student, but I am still so into her like nothing ever changed at all.

That was my first time seeing her again for more than 6 years now because she enrolled in a Private institution located in the neighboring city of Lansville, but that's what happened. It is more than embarrassing. I just want to dig a hole and bury my head in it.

As my mom was laughing, someone rang the bell of our house. We have a visitor, so I rushed to the bathroom so that they won't see how messy I was, and I peeked.

My mom opened the door and to her surprise, she hugged the person that had just come to our house. I don't recognize the person. He is a tall person with fair skin and dark hair.

I felt intrigued by how my mom reacted.

I heard her whispering "How did you find us? I've missed you so much, I am so happy to see you again" then the man replied "I missed you too" while asking "Where are they?".

I was confused about who is he looking for. My mom was already crying while hugging him. Something isn't right here and that's what I was thinking. I have decided to take a bath already, for me to get cleaned.

I was still confused about how my mom reacted when she saw the stranger, and those conversations I've heard just don't feel right to me.

After a few minutes of showering, I rushed to my room to get changed planning to greet our visitor.

I was still thinking about what I heard, it is like digging in my mind. And it is digging deeper and deeper. Maybe because I have some kind of idea that I am not yet sure and it's making me nervous. I was thinking that I might be the one he is talking about… What the... I'm so nervous facing that man...

As I was walking toward them the man was smiling, and he stood up and said "Is he my son? Amanda?" he had some tears in his eyes.

I was not shocked anymore by what he was saying, I was just confused. I thought my father passed away when my youngest sister was born. That's what I was told by my mom.

I don't know how to react, I was cold and could not say anything. I want to hug him, however, I am so confused about the situation. It has been my dream to have a complete set of the family since I was little. I am stunned in confusion.

I am looking at him and mom called to me "Toni! Toni! Don't just stand there, he's your father!". I haven't noticed that I was already standing there staring at him for a while now, maybe because of confusion.

I rushed to him, hugging him with so much excitement. He hugged me so tight while he was crying saying "I'm so sorry Toni" I felt his embrace become tighter. "I've searched for you but didn't have any clue where you are," he told me.

My tears were rushing down my eyes. I have never felt so complete, and I don't want it to end. It feels so good to have a father.

My mom was also crying while calling my younger sister May. My mom and younger sister were already crying and hugged my dad. She felt so happy and overjoyed because we felt the same void in our hearts longing for a father.

While we are feeling our reunion with tears and smiles, someone knocked saying "Dad!? Mom called me just now, she was looking for us, we should leave now".

I was shocked that my father had another son. Did he forget to say it to us? I turned my head to the door and saw a young man looking at us with some kind of sadness. Could he be my half-brother?

My father did not have a chance to introduce him to us, because he left after we saw his sad face. My father followed him and left us again.

There have been a lot of things happening right now that I could not even imagine would happen. I never thought that my Father is still alive, and now I have a brother? What the... What the heck is this...

Should I be accepting these things in just a day? Because to be honest I am not prepared for this. My confusion just got to another level this time. Would my sister understand these? I am so sure she is just confused as I am right now. What the... How confusing! What is happening!

I bet my mother would have a lot of explaining to do. I am just full of questions in my mind now. I honestly need to take a break from these...
