It was June 3, 2015, when mum visited my nieces. I moved to my brother's house by the way. I wrote a letter and put it in her bag. I was very nervous about it. I fought for you for more than a year. And I will fight no matter how hard it gets. I love you so much that I am willing to take risks.

It was around 8pm. My phone notification beeps. I checked it. My jaw dropped! My heart is like jumping all over. I was overwhelmed. After reading the message I run outside, I don't even know where I am going but I kept on jumping on the road side like a crazy person. I was so happy!

I came back home and told you that my dad, wants to meet you on Thursday which is on June 5, 2014.

You asked me what I wrote.

"Ma, Pa. I'm sorry kung ingon ani ko. I'm sorry if naibog ko sa babaye. All this time I tried to be the best of the best para ma proud mo nako. I've been an honor student since grade 1 until I graduated highschool. I participated in different academic contest so you'll be proud of me. I did all of those for you. I obliged all your requests and wants. I did not even think about myself. But this time, please. Ma, Pa, bata pako kabalo ko maibog nakog babaye. I tried to hide it. I tried to keep it and stop it. But I did not expect nga maabot siya. Ma, Pa, pasayloa ko pero ingon ani najud ko. D na nako makaya nga itago ni. I love her. Ma, Pa sorry. And i hope inyu kung madawat nga ingon ani ko."

I remember that time when I wrote that letter. I was crying, my heart is beating so fast. I'm wondering if they'll accept me. I don't have the courage to say it in their face that's why I wrote it down. Yup, I'm a consistent honor student, competitive, frank and has a lot of confidence because I know what I'm capable of. That's the kind of person I am.

We were so happy that my dad wants to meet you. We planned what you're going to bring on Thursday.
We are both excited!

Your heart beats so fast, you're very nervous about what will happen. We came to our house together. Then you were welcomed by my dad. I was very proud and happy that day. I was thankful to my dad because he's the one who insisted to meet you and he's the first one who accepted us.

(Writing this part makes me miss my Dad. I'm actually a daddy's girl)
