"Wachie," a man suddenly called behind my back. Pero hindi ako umimik at nanatiling nakatingin sa labas ng terrace.

The city is very alive. Punong puno ng kung anong pailaw at mga sasakyang nagsisiksikan kahit gabi na. Traffic didn't really changed huh?

"Mom and Dad wanted to see their grandch-"

"For what?" Inalog ko ng pabilog ang wine glass na hawak hawak ko at ininom ang laman non. I don't have any idea why they wanted to see my kids.

"They just wanted too, baka pwede kayong pumunta sa bahay para mag-dinner?" pamimilit niya. Nilingon ko siya at tinignan ng matalim.

I don't know why but, I just don't want them to see my kids yet. Ayoko pa. "Who exactly are they? I can't feel them in my heart, are they really my parents?"

He stiffened and lowered his head. Napa-iling ako at napatingin sa wine glass. I don't exactly know them. Ang alam ko lang we share the same name.

And Daichie told me they are my parents. Pero ang nakakapagtaka ay, hindi ko maramdaman sa loob loob ko. It's weird tho.

"I don't know them, I don't even recognize what they look like. I can't feel them as my parents, you just said that they are but I don't feel like it.

I saw how his eyes softened and walks towards me. And then he hugged me. I put my glass on the table ang hugged him back.

"I-i don't know them, h-how am I supposed to love them?"

-

"Mommy!! Look it's beautiful here!"

"Be careful Jia, you might hurt yourself!!" paalala ko sa anak kong babae. But she just smiled sweetly at me and ran away.

Napa-iling na lang ako. That kid. "Mom, I'll follow her. She's naughty as always," sabi naman ng anak kong lalake and I nodded.

He followed his sister at nang maabutan niya ito ay bigla niya itong hinampas sa tuktok. I smiled at them. Mahina lang naman yung pagkakahampas.

He always does that and nanghingi naman siya ng permiso sakin.

"Mommy? Can I hit Jia's head a little? Maybe that would soften her hard head."

Napatingin ako sa paligid. Coconut tress, flowers, sea shells, white sand, jet skis, canoes, small boats and of course tourists everywhere.

It look like a paradise here. Napangiti ako. It's peaceful here. Pero...

Wh-what?! O-ouch! "A-aray!" mahinang daing ko.

There's a two person popped in my mind running away like someone's chasing them. May naririnig din akong mga putok ng baril at mabibigat na yapak ng tao.

Napahawak ako sa aking ulo. W-what is this?! I-is this my memories? Ahhh!! Alam kong ako yung babae, pero sino yung lalake? Bakit blurred? Sino ba siya sa buhay ko?

"Are you okay?" someone asked while he holf my shoulder. Napalingon ako sa kanya at napa-iling. My head hurts like hell! Ano bang nangyayari?
