Predicament

I had a heart-to-heart talk with my Yaya 2 days ago. I went berserk after baby-sitting my two kids for the whole day when I have expected her to at least spare me from my misery for half a day. The story goes like this:

Last All saints, she asked to go home and I let her. She went home on a Sunday afternoon after my husband got back from work(can u imagine that they required them to work on a Sunday?). She promised to return early on a Tuesday. I told her the gravity of her presence since my husband will be working on a Tuesday(darn that Company. grrrr). Half-day passed, no Yaya! Fortunately, the kids are behaving like heavenly cherubs. At 4 pm, no yaya still. So I called her. She answered my call and told me that she is not even halfway back to our place.

#*&^%&(#*&(*#%&^(&*#&^(Gosh!!! I was so pissed*&(*()))&%^$^&$%#$%#^%&@

I felt like I just had a moment of supernova! Kabboooooooooooooooom!

I texted her a hearty message:

"Jan, di ba nagsabot man ta na mobalik ka dayon? Khibaw bitaw ka na ako ra
isa. Syaro sa kadugay nimo dili jud ka mobati nako? Kung dili ka mobati nako
bisan nalang unta maluoy ka nila dodong b"


I asked help from my brothers and thank God they heeded my SOS. Everything was OK until I got another text this time from my yaya's sister:

"ate, inyo man daw gikasab an maayo ako maguwang. kung wala namo kauyon niya,
papaulia lang siya kay ako lang siya pasudlon ug tarbaho. kapoy na kuno siya
kaayo diha sa inyo. guol na kaayo siya. "

And I was like.. WTFFFFFFFFFFF?! I for one, don't consider myself as a rude and abusive amo. And now she is implying that I have caused her sister anguish, sadness.........Another bigger Supernova!!!!

When the yaya got back are 8 pm! I asked her:

"Jan, dli na diay ka malipayon diri? Ngano diay, giunsa diay ka namo. Di ba trato namo nimo mura raman gani pamilya?"

And here comes the big revelation: "Nakadungog man gud ko istorya sa Pardo ate na giata*-ata* daw ko nimo katong dugay ko nibalik. Ingon pud na ipapulis daw ko nimo kung dili ko mobalik"

I am deeply shocked. Because never in my short or long-term memory did I remember to have said something like that. I don't threaten! It is also not in my nature to curse. But somehow, why do people make up stories or even exaggerate something that I might have said?

I pondered deeply.But the truth, even if it is hard to take, i have to deal with it. There are just people that would drag you down. Even the ones that you thought are family. It's a sad realization. But even so, I shall treat them no less. They should be grateful, I am not someone who plants vengeful schemes. But I swear on my DOg's grave I shall inflict them every known pain possible to mankind if ever they trespassed on me again!

With me and the yaya. I told her that if she is no longer happy, she could leave anytime so long as she will find us a replacement. "For all times sake Jan ba, ayaw pud mi byai na walay puli. Maluoy lang ka, kung dili nako, bisan sa mga bata lang." Those were my parting remarks. She was unresponsive in most of my queries but at least I've got things clear with her. Honestly, I don't want her to leave, but I could not keep her when she is not happy with us.... We are now on healing terms after what has happened. I hope everything will end and part well.
