A Journey Through Love and Loss

Analea's Manipulation Exposed

Avery's POV

The plane ride was uneventful, which was a relief. Tyrone and Tyler dozed off halfway through the flight, yung ulo ni Tyrone ay nakasandal sa upuan niya at nakakumot pa. Si Tyler naman ay mahimbing din na natutulog sa tabi nito.

I spent the time alternating between reading a book and stealing glances at my family, feeling a mixture of gratitude and anxiety about the journey ahead. Walang stop over ang flight namin.

Ilang oras lang ako nakatulog sa 18 hours na flight namin. Sina Tyler at Tyrone naman ay nagigising lang kapag time na ng meal. Ganun din si Secretary KC.

When we landed in New York, the airport was even more chaotic than the one we left behind. Secretary KC took charge, her efficiency cutting through the confusion as she led us to the baggage claim area.

Nakasunod lang kami sa kanya ni Tyler, keeping a close eye on Tyrone, who was wide awake now and full of questions about the new city.

Once we had our luggages, we headed to the arrivals area where a driver was waiting for us with a sign that read "Sandoval Family."

He greeted us warmly and took our luggage, leading us to a sleek black SUV parked just outside.

The drive into the city was surreal. Tall skyscrapers loomed on either side of us, and the streets were alive with honking cars and bustling pedestrians.

Tyrone pressed his face against the window, his eyes wide with wonder.

"Look, Mommy! The buildings are so tall!" he exclaimed.

I smiled, sharing his awe. "Yes, they are. This is New York City, one of the most famous places in the world."

First time ko lang din makapunta sa New York. Buti na lang talaga naayos kaagad ni Tyler ang visa namin ni Tyrone.

Napatingin ako kay Tyler at nakita kong nakatingin din ito sa akin. "You ready for this?" he asked.

"As ready as I'll ever be," I replied, trying to keep my voice steady.

Ang totoo niyan natatakot ako. Natatakot ako sa pwedeng mangyaring treatment sa akin dito.

We finally arrived at our hotel, a luxurious place with a grand lobby that took my breath away. The staff was courteous and efficient, quickly checking us in and helping us with our luggages.

Our suite was spacious and beautifully decorated, with large windows offering a stunning view of the city skyline.

Once we were settled, Tyler turned to me. "Do you want to rest for a bit or explore the city?"

"I think we should rest for a while," I said, feeling the exhaustion from the trip starting to catch up with me. "We'll have plenty of time to explore later."

Tyler nodded. "Good idea. Tyrone, let's take a nap so we can have energy for an adventure later, okay?"

Tyrone nodded reluctantly, clearly more interested in exploring right away but willing to comply.

As we settled into the plush beds, Secretary KC made a few calls to confirm our appointments and finalize details for the treatment.

Her presence was reassuring, a constant reminder that we had a strong support system in place. Thanks to Dr. Ramirez and Dr. Lao, hindi na kami nahirapan maghanap ng doctor dito sa america.

I lay down, feeling the tension slowly leave my body. Tyler lay beside me, his arm draped over my waist, and Tyrone snuggled between us.

Naninibago talaga ako kay Tyler ngayon. Bigla na lang itong naging clingy at sweet sa akin.
