MACKENNA

A COMPLETE FAMILY DOES NOT need to be perfect; rather, it only needs to be united. And sadly, the word "united" is alien to my family because we've lost touch with its meaning for a long time, ever since they abandoned me one by one.

But... I'm willing to forgive and forget, as if nothing happened.

For the sake of Savanna and her child, I will choose to forgive her. Gusto kong maibalik 'yung dating pagkakaisa naming dalawa. 'Yung nagtutulungan kami sa kahit na anong problemang haharapin namin, hindi 'yung ganito. Na nagtutulukan kami palayo sa isa't isa.

She's the only family that I have. And I know what she did to me might be unforgivable to others, but she's still my sister. Siya na rin ang may sabi sa'kin noong huling beses kaming magkausap na kinakailangan niyang gawin 'yun.

And I know Savanna. She's the type of person who will go to any lengths to accomplish her goals. And unfortunately, miski sa'kin ay nagawa niyang gumawa ng masama para lang hindi sila maghiwalay ni Foster.

But then again, I'm not in her position, so I can't really judge her actions. Maybe, just maybe... she did what she had to do because she was just so desperate to have a complete family she never had.

Savanna is pregnant with Foster's baby and is in love with him. And I'm sure she's afraid of having yet another broken family. She is just scared that her kid will grow up without a father.

So, I've decided to see and talk to her kahit na ipinagtatabuyan na niya ako. Naisip ko na baka kaya niya ako pinagtatabuyan dahil nahihiya siya sa nagawa niya sa'kin. At isa rin 'yon sa mga dahilan kaya gusto ko siyang kausapin, para malaman niyang handa akong kalimutan 'yon basta maging maayos lang ulit kami.

Savanna is still my anchor. No matter how hard she pushes me away. She's still my sister, and I love her.

I miss my life before. 'Yung tipong kahit kaming dalawa lang ni Savanna ang magkasama at nagdadamayan ay masaya naman kami at kuntento ako. 'Yung sakaniya ko lang nao-open up 'yung mga problema ko nang hindi natatakot at nahihiya. 'Yung siya ang una kong nilalapitan kapag may magandang nangyari sa araw ko.

And probably that's why I became a burden to her. I became too much to handle for her.

"Sav!" I beamed as I ran towards her and gave her a big bear hug from behind. She's washing the dishes, and I just got home from work with a huge grin on my lips.

She chuckled as I snuggled her from behind. "What's up with you? Did something good happen to you today?" She asked. I nodded my head.

"My boss complimented me, said I was doing a good job, and gave me a raise!" I exclaimed. Umalis ako sa pagkakayakapmula sa likuran niya. Pinunasan niya muna 'yung kamay niya sa dishwashing cloth at saka siya humarap sa'kin para yakapin ulit ako.
