"Are you sure you really want to go home na?" Nag aalalang tanong ni Yzabel sa asawa.
"I am. It's time to face kuya Raphael. We have the right to be there too. We're also Juarez. And I want my kids to see the place where I grew up." Sean said.
Tahimik na nakamasid sa bintana ng eroplano si Yella katabi nito ang kapatid na si Gian.
"You okay Yella?" Gian asked at inabutan ito ng pagkain.
"Yes kuya. Thanks. Iniisip ko lang kung ano mangyayari satin sa pag punta sa isla na yun. I was just a little kid back then nung pumunta tayo kaya di ko na maalala." Saad ni Yella
"Most of our properties are there. Sabihin man ni Dad na kila tito Raphael yun, hindi ako naniniwala kasi wala namang iniwang sulat ang ating ninuno na kay tito Raphael lang yung mga ari-arian ng mga Juarez. Dad is also a Juarez so it means, may pamana padin kay Dad, not just for tito Raphael na panganay." Gian explained. Well he knows everything about what happened to the properties of Juarez. Gian studied and became a lawyer for him to help his Dad. Walang nakuha ni singko sila Sean sa pamana ng mga ninuno nila. Ayaw na ayaw ni Sean na nag tatalo sila ng kapatid niya tungkol sa pamana kaya pinagpasyahan niyang lumipat sa ibang bansa. Ngayon, sila ay nagbabalik para kunin ang sa tingin nila na ay kanilang pag aari.
"I'm so excited to see Irinea again. We're good friends back then. I know you'll get along with their kids." Yzabel said and look at the two.
"I just remember, kuya Gian once told me he had a crush on a kid when we're still at that island, what's her name kuya?" Yella teasingly asked.
"Shut up, Yella."
Natatawang napailing si Yella.
"But seriously, La Cuesta family is really good. I grew up in La Isla Arcadia literally. Di mayaman ang pamilya namin. Sa isang baryo lang kami nakatira noon sa isla. But La Cuestas never failed to amaze me. Napaka consistent nila tumulong samin. And that's where I meet Irinea. She's Mikael's fiance pa nun and there's when I meet your dad din. He's helping the La Cuestas to distribute goods sa baryo namin." Yzabel said.
"That island seems so nice." Yella commented.
"We're here." Sean said and guide them as they arrive at the airport.
"SEAN!" then he heard Manuel Montevasquez's voice as he saw him waving his banner. Beside him is Felice Juarez and her daughter, Lizzy Juarez.
"Ate Yza! I'm good to see you again." Felice hugged Yzabel.
Felice and Yzabel are good friends also. Walang alitang namamagitan sa kanilang dalawa. Tanging ang mga asawa lang nila na Juarez ang problema.
"Salamat sainyo Felice. Ito na ba si Lizzy? Ang gandang bata. Ay Yella halika anak. Ito si Lizzy, pinsan mo."
Nahihiyang lumapit si Yella at tumingin kay Lizzy. This beautiful woman has an intimidating aura that she got from his dad. But she's soft and kind as her mom.
"Nice to meet you, Lizzy." Yella smiled
Surprisingly, Lizzy smiled genuinely and hugged her cousin.
Lizzy isn't comfortable among some people. She's only close to Eurisse Montevasquez. But now, she feels like secured to have a girl cousin that she thinks she could count on with aside from Eurisse.
"Does kuya Raphael knows you're here?" Sean asked Felice.
Umiling si Felice saka ngumiti. "sinabi ko lang na babalikan namin ni Liz yung damit para sa par-" she stopped as she realize that it was supposed to be surprise
"For?" Yzabel asked
"Opening of one of our hotels po." Lizzy said and smiled at her mom
"But don't worry, Raphael knew you'd come. He don't have a choice. You are Juarez afterall." Felice said and smile at them.
