Saying "I Love You"

Yesterday, I got up a quarter near 7AM. I was supposed to fetch Jeffrey at Pier 5 since he hardly knows the way here in Cebu (last time he went here was with me two years ago). After fetching him, we went to Chowking in Jones and then talked and talked about what happened in Iligan City, and about his applications in Western Wats.

Around 9AM, we had decided to give Pepe a visit. Before we had arrived at his dormitory, we happened to pass by a Phone Card shop. I stopped and bought myself a hundred-credit prepaid phone card, and went to Bo's Coffee and dialed a number which directs me to my home in Iligan City. Genevieve had picked up the phone, and she trasferred it to my mom.

Mom was really talkative. She always asks me if I am fine here. In our conversations, there are three things in which she never forgets to ask. First is "Have you ever had saved from your salary"?, second is "Have you ever watched over your weight?", and the other is "How's your shoulder?". We just chit-chatted for half and hour, told me about the events at home, told her of my happenings at work and in my social life, and talked about anything.

I was now about to say goodbye at mom when she uttered "Take Care .... Love You". It pounded me. When was the last time I heard her say that? That I do not know. Gosh! I was stunned! I replied "I love you too"!
