           Prologue

"Are we really gonna visit mamita in the province?" Luis—my older brother asked our parents.

Napaangat ako ng tingin sa kanila at bahagya ko ring naibaba ang kubyertos ko at para ibigay ang atensyon ko sa kanila. Tahimik kasi kaming kumakain at bigla nalang iyon natanong ni Kuya Luis sa kanila mommy at syempre na-curious ako at gusto kong malaman ang isasagot nila mommy. Its been a years since we last visit the province and of course mamita—mom's mother. And I missed her so much.

"Yes," dad answered.

"When?"

"On Saturday morning. So, please, settle your schedules tomorrow so that you both have time to pack your things." Mommy said after chewing her food and drunk her glass of water.

Tumango lang ako sa sinabi nila mommy at bumalik ako sa pagkain ko, kapagkuwan ay narinig kong magsalita si kuya Luis.

"May meeting pa ako sa Saturday with this important client, mom, dad," kuya Luis uttered.

Napatingin ako sa kay kuya Luis. "Can't you cancel it for mamita?" I asked him.

He shooked his head. "No, I can't."

Tumikhim si daddy kaya nabaling ang tingin ko sa kaniya, nakita ko naman uminom siya ng tubig bago tumingin sa akin at kay kuya Luis.

"Well, then, finish all you need to finish at sumunod ka nalang sa province. Nasabi namin ng mamita niyo na sa sabado ang byahe natin kaya i-expect tayo ng mamita niyo na sa sabado din mismo ay naroon na tayo." ani dad na tinanguan ni mommy.

"Its been a year since we last visited her there, your mamita's misses the both of you and your cousins too. Don't you miss them?" mommy asked using her soothing and very motherly voice.

"Basta ako, okay ako sa Saturday ang byahe natin. And beside I really missed mamita and cousins as well." Nakangiti kong sabi.

"Fine! I'll try to come with you on that day." Kuya Luis said.

Natapos ang dinner namin sa usapang iyon. Siguradong sigurado na sila daddy at mommy na uuwi kami ng probinsiya nila mommy ang tagal narin kasi talaga naming hindi nakakapasyal at nakakabakasyon doon dahil nadin sa sobrang busy at hectic ng mga schedule namin lalo na sila daddy at kuya Luis. Sa tuwing nagyayaya kasi silang magbakasyon sa kanila mommy sa province hindi kami lagi natutuloy at puro plano lang kami kaya ayun hindi kami nakakasama sa tuwing may family gatherings sila mommy laging hindi kumpleto dahil nga wala kami roon at hindi lingid sa kaalaman namin na nagtatampo na sa amin si mamita. Kaya ngayon, ang saya saya ko dahil sa matutuloy na kami and I will make sure I'll make it up to mamita at sa ibang relatives namin na naroon.

I closed my eyes as I remembered the last memory I have to the province when we last visited there and it was so very peaceful and I can't wait to be there again. Can't wait!

The next, I wake up with a smile that plastered on my lips. I yawned as I lifted my both arms in the air.

"Good morning!" I greeted using my bedroom voice as I climbed out of the bed and went inside my bathroom to do my morning routines.
