A connection that was built to be inseparable.
Lindtsey, a daughter of every mother could wish for.
Irene, a mother who loves her daughter endlessly.
And there is Beatrice.
It's been weeks since the Aranetas' left the country and there is no communication between both families.
As Lindtsey had a time of her own for the past days, she started reflecting about the events that brought her to where she is right now.
Aiah never bothered to call Irene, Greggy, or even Beatrice. She thinks, it's the perfect time for them to rebuild the family they never had for the past years.

Lindtsey
I miss them, a lot.
Dad forbid me to talk to them after what happened and I thought, maybe it's also the time where they should get back to what they've missed.
I want to visit my old home, the house in Forbes, I just also want to get something important.
Papunta na ako doon and thankfully, nakilala ako ng guard, I just don't know if there are still people in the house though.
Lumabas agad ako ng kotse when we arrived at the house, and yes, nandito parin sila nanay.
"Aiah! Diyos ko, halika.. Pumasok ka," it was nanay Yolly, the mayordoma of the house.
I smiled, "How are you, nanay?" tanong ko, agad niya naman akong niyakap.
"Ang tagal mo namang bumisita dito, alam mo bang palagi kitang inaantay. Bibisitahin na nga sana kita kaso hindi ko naman alam kung saan ka nakatira, kumusta ka? Alam mo na bang wala na sila mommy mo dito?" tanong niya, ngumiti lang ako ng bahagya at tumango.
"Okay lang po ako, may kukunin lang po sana ako sa kwarto. Open lang po yung kwarto ko?" I asked, she nodded right away, pinaupo niya muna ako.
"Nakalock yung kwarto mo pero nandito naman yung susi saakin, bilin kasi ng mommy mo tsaka kapag tumatawag na hindi hayaang pamahayan ng alikabok yung kwarto at mga gamit mo kasi magagalit ka daw. Kaya ibinilin niya sakin para ma-maintain yung linis, bilin din niya na kung sakaling bumalik ka, kunin mo daw yung mga gamit mo kasi bigay daw niya 'yan at talagang para sayo 'yan.."
Muntik nang tumulo yung luha ko nung narinig ko 'yun, she still remember, mom still remembers me.
"Gusto mo bang pumunta na sa kwarto? Halika, samahan na kita.."
Pumayag akong samahan ni nanay na pumunta sa kwarto ko, it was clean and all my things are still in place. While looking at my old room, an envelope that was placed on my vanity table caught my eyes.
It was a letter with mom's signature.
I slowly opened it and I don't understand why I'm getting nervous, nanghihina yung kamay at tuhod ko kaya I decided to sit first before I totally opened it.
I didn't expect this from mommy, I found myself crying while reading her letter.
