4 years later...

PAGOD na umupo sa mahabang sofa si Zianna at tamad na itinabi ang bag sa tabi nito at mariin na pinikit ang mata at marahan na hinilot ang sentido. Today was very tiring and exhausting, kaka-launch lang ng bagong make-up products nila, nakakapagod dahil ang daming customer and important guests ang dumalo sa launching, ang daming inasikaso. But those sleepless nights and the exhausting launching preparation paid off, dahil naging successful naman iyun. Pero talagang nakakapagod parin.

It's been four years since she arrived in Seattle, and lived a peaceful life in the beautiful country, hindi siya nagsisising umalis siya sa Pilipinas, she left because she wanted to find peace and comfort in her heart, and indeed, she finally found it. Sa haban ng panahon, unti-unting gumagaan ang pakiramdam niya, until she woke up one day, she felt motivated and ready to start her new beginning in this country with a smile on her face.

Imbis na pasukin ang mundo ng modeling in Seattle, she started a small business, she wanted to make make-ups and other beauty products, iyun talaga ang gusto niyang gawin. Make-up is a powerful tool for a woman, like her, make-up brings women confidence and face their fears with fierce. At first, hindi naging madali sa kaniya, umabot pa siya sa punto na nanghingi siya ng pera sa mom niya at sa kaniyang Tita Arielle para makapagsimula, at hindi naging madali iyun, dahil ilang beses din siyang nalugi, she can't even afford paying her employees because her business was sinking down. But that doesn't stop her from making beauty products, mas naging pursigido pa siya na magpatuloy. And now, "Mystique Beauty" is now successful make-up brand, kilala na ito lalo na sa Seattle, in the Philippines, and other parts in Europe and Southeast Asia.

But there's also one reason why she remained tough and she never gave up despite her thousands failure in life and business, may isang taong nagbibigay sa kaniya ng lakas para magpatuloy sa buhay at maabot ang tagumpay na tinatamasa niya ngayon.

"Mama!"

A handsome cute little kid, wearing a huge smile on his face while ran towards her. Agad na nawala ang pagod niya nang makita ang kasiyahan sa mata ng bata habang patakbong itong lumapit sa kaniya. She hugged him and kissed his hair.

"Looks like my baby is having fun with her Mommy ninang, huh?" bahagya niyang kiniliti ang tagiliran ng anak at pinugpog ng halik ang pisngi nito dahilan para matawa ito.

Hinapit niya ang anak at patagilid na pinaupo sa kaniyang kandungan, mahigpit niya itong niyakap at hinilig niya ang kaniyang ulo sa balikat nito. This is heaven, parang bula na agad nawala ang kaniyang pagod. Her son, Marcos, is her stress reliever and her happy pill. The only one reason why she keep going in her life, because of her son.

"It was fun mama, Mommy ninang bought me lots of toys." kwento nito habang may ngiti sa labi.

She smiled as she comb his long hair.

"Yeah?"

"Yes, po."

"That's great. Next time, sasama na si mama, we'll bond together with your Mommy ninang, Mommy La, and Tita Mommy. You want that, baby?" Marcos's eyes sparkled and smiled.

"I want that mama, tapos isama din natin si Pikachu and si Stitch... They'll be sad if they will left behind, mama." nangingiting tumango siya sa anak. He loves Pikachu and Stitch so much. "Tsaka, papa Dan will be here tomorrow mama, right? We'll bond with papa Dan."

"Of course, baby..." she said and peck a kiss on her son's lips.

"Gosh, so tiring..."

Nadatnan niya si Sheena na may dalang mga shopping bags, she's with Marcos nanny, at may dala-dala rin itong mga box ng laruan. Sheena went shopping with her son, isang linggo ng namalagi si Sheenasa Seattle, binibisita siya at ng inaanak nitong si Marcos. Sinama nito ang anak niya para bilhin ng laruan dahil babalik na ang kaibigan sa Pilipinas dahil may malaking proyekto pa itong gagawin sa Pilipinas. Her mother visited them last month, dito nila ipinagdiriwang ang kaarawan ng kaniyang ina. Pagkatapos ng isang buwan ay bumalik narin ito sa Pilipinas, and then sumunod naman si Sheena.
