Kinabukasan, i did nothing but stretch around the room. Just lying on the bed and waiting for yza to call but im just waiting for nothing..

Not longer my phone rang and i suddenly get it. I thought it was yza.. it was mom. I answer the call.

"Nǐ hǎo?" I answer disappointed.

"Niel, bukas na ang flight namin jan sa pilipinas" she said and i immediately stand up.

"What? I thought sa isang araw pa? Napa-aga ata uwi nyo?"

"Yeah supposed to be but our works here is already done. So, maaga kami makakauwi jan. Anyway, i would like to celebrate our return to the Philippines.... Kahit nauna ka samin ng dad mo"

"O-ofcourse for the business agreement"

"Ssh ssh ssh ssh enough" pag tigil nya "get ready. We are about to board a plane"

"Already?"

"Ow yes, actually nandito na kami sa airport. So, any hours nanjan na kami.  See you later honey. muahh"

"Mom-" and she hang up the phone. My mom is really hype.

I decided to go out and relax myself somehow. I buy some milktea and walk around para hindi rin ako naka tengga sa bahay. Lolo is playing golf somewhere and hobby nya rin talaga yun pag alam nyang boring sa loob ng bahay.  He didn't even take me and left me alone at home.

Ilang oras ang nakalipas at pagabi na rin. I decided to go home and rest. When i get home i saw lolo watching a soccer game on a tv.

"Hey lolo" i greet and looks at me.

"Ow where you have been?" He ask.

"I was at the mall naglilibang libang lang. Anyway, mama are going home tonight"

"Really? Well that's good i need to prepared something to eat before they get home"

We supposed to go to kitchen when someone rang the doorbell I think they are here.

"Open the door niel" and we go to the front door. When i open it i saw mom and dad. Their smile greeted and hug us.

I'm happy that they arive safely. They must be tired.

"Hi lolo" mom greeted lolo sweetly and hug him

"Kumusta na?" He ask with a warm-hearted.

"Were fine, what about you? I really miss you lolo. Buti nalang at nakauwi kami"

"Na miss ko ang anak ko" he said and i melt when he said he miss her daughter.

"Awww" and she hugs again.

"Hi lolo, were brought something for you" dad said and gave the pasalubong for lolo from china.

"Salamat, hindi na kayo dapat nag abala pa" he received.

"Ano ka ba lolo minsan na nga lang kami makabisita dito so accept it na. Balaka mag tatampo ako"

"Sandali? Ako dapat ang mag tatampo dahil ilang years bago kayo umuwi" lolo said.

"Ehh, pag retired na kami lolo kahit dito na kami tumira ok lang sakin at least makakasama na kita"

"Ehh, kailan ba kayo mag re-retired?" Looks like lolo wanted to be with us ha.

"Soon lolo, malapit na" and she blink.

"Hay sha sige na mag pahinga na kayo at mag hahanda lang kami ng apo ng makakain ngayong ganihan"

"I call yaya to take care of the luggages" i said at isinantabi ang mga gamit.

"Thank you honey" and they sit on the couch.

I was preparing our dinner when yza suddenly came to my mind. Probably hinatid na sya ng pinsan kong si Aaron. Shit, what's come to her mind? I really don't understand her. Nandito naman ako. Kaya ba sya hiniwalayan it's because of her works?

But i wouldn't change a thing. She's still the one i love. She gave her dignity for me. Besides, i want to know her most.

After i cook I prepared it on the table. Magkakasama na ulit kami kumain. I really love the filipino tradition. Wala talagang kakain hanggat hindi kumpleto.

I was just eating when mom eyes widened at the food I cooked.

"Hmmm. This is so good" she praises and i look to her "sabihin mo nga nak san ka natuto mag luto?" She ask.

"Hmm, natuto ako magluto ng sarili ko lang because you and dad are often not in home"

"Oww sorry honey. We're always busy at work eh"

"Apology accepted mom. Malaki na rin naman ako nung mga panahon na yun" i said even tho i was 10 years old that time. Nakahiligan ko mag luto it's because of my sweet yaya. She's a filipino too but suddenly she went home when i was 12. She said his son had an accident so he had to go and take care of him.

I said she have to came back because she became my second mother when the times i need a hand of my mom. She's always there when i need someones attention and she promise me that she would come back.

Pero 24 years old na ko at hindi pa rin sya nakakabalik. I wonder where she is right now. I didn't even know her address.. Does mom know about it?

"Mom, Where does yaya live?" I ask.

"Who's yaya?"

"Our filipina helper when i was a kid"

"Why? Do you want to visit her?"

"I would like to"

"Do you want to visit her grave?" Agad akong napanoot sa aking narinig. Is it clear what i hear?

"Grave? W-what do you mean grave?"

"Hindi pa ba namin nasasabi sayo?"

"I don't know anything"

"She has been dead for ten years niel" i was shock by what i heard. Para akong sinampal ng kawalan dahil sa sinabi ni mom.

Dead? Dead!!??

"Why didn't you tell me!? I was waiting her to come back in china"

"Calm down niel" pag papakalma sakin ni dad.

"Dapat sinabi nyo sakin ng hindi ako umasa"

"We actually don't know na hindi pa pala namin nasasabi sayo. She also told me na hindi na sya makakabalik because of her lungs condition. She needs to go home para huling pagkakataon ay makita ang kanyang mga anak bago ito pumanaw"

"So, hindi totoo na aksidente ang kanyang anak?" She nodded as yes.

"Palusot nya lang yun nak. You're so too young to told it that your beloved yaya is dead. So we wait until you get matured. But suddenly we forgot to tell it" i speechless and I don't know what to say.

I don't even know what to do cause yaya is dead. I thought makikita ko pa sya but it's too late.

After a dinner i was with my room lying on a bed. I couldn’t sleep because of what I found out. I shouldn't have asked about her. It hurts.
