Chapter 35

Alice's Pov

"Ali Theresia mama's home!" Sigaw ko sa may pinto

A girl ran to me and hugged me

"Mama!"

My daughter, Her name is Ali Theresia Hontiveros. It's been 4 years since I left the country, ate Shiela and Wesley visits me often. Nagtagal lang Sila noong malapit na Ang due ko

It was a painful labor, I thought I couldn't make it so far it was a normal delivery. Hindi ako nag dalawang isip na ibigay Ang apelyido ni Risa sa anak namin. Besides Ali is her daughter too she deserves the Hontiveros name.

Naka move on na ako, and handa Naman akong ipakilala Ang anak ko sa kanya

Ali had Risa's hair, it was very curly. The way she talks is very Risa. The only thing that Ali got from me is my eyes, she got my chinky eyes.

She's 3 years old already and I can say that as she grows up nagiging kahawig niya na si Risa.

"How are you baby? Nag behave ka ba Kay tita Cath?" I asked

"Of course mama, tita Cath told me to behave Kase hindi daw pwede sa Pilipinas ang malikot" Sabi nito

Napatango ako at hinalikan ito sa noo
Babalik na kami sa Pilipinas Tama na siguro Ang apat na taon. It was suppose to be next year pag 4 na SI Ali kase masyado kaseng Hassel pag nag biyahe ng toddler but Wesley told me na this year na daw Ang kasal nila ni Cassy. Mga atat eh, it's actually 3 days from now.

"Mama, tita Cath and I already wrapped the gift that I bought for auntie Cassy and papa Wesley" Sabi nito

"That's very good anak your tita Cassy would love that" I said

"Mama?"

"Hmm?"

"Am I going to see mama Risa?" She said, that made my smile froze

Wala akong balak itago siya Kay Risa, but right now I'm not yet ready. Hindi ko alam Ang magiging reaction ni Risa kung sakali.

I composed myself

"We'll see about that nak" I said

My daughter knows everything but not that everything. Palagi niyang pinapanood SI Risa sa mga hearings Minsan nga edits Kay Risa social media Kasama Ang mga kaibigan ko.

My daughter idolizes politics so much. She even told me that Sen Loren is so savage when she roasted a criminal. Halos bukambibig nito ay pulitika. She's very like Risa

"You should ready your snacks na anak, mamayang Gabi na Ang flight natin pauwi. Are you ready?"

"I am mama! I can't wait to see auntie Shiela too!"

I left her sa Sala with ate Cath and I packed my things also, Ali is the only thing that was left from Risa, aside from our engagement ring. Yung engagement ring namin ginawa Kong pendant sa necklace ni Ali.

Napabuntong hininga ako

Here we go...
Naka move on na ako..
I'm ready to face what I've left behind ....

Risa's Pov

I'm busy watering my plants when I heard a doorbell from the frontyard.

When I opened it, it was Cassy and Wesley

"Sen!" Saad ni Cassy  at nakipag beso saakin

"What brings you here guys? Halika pasok kayo I'll prepare some tea" I said

"Hindi na Po sen, pumunta Po kami Dito para iabot ito sainyo" Sabi ni Wesley and handed me an envelope

When I read it napangiti ako
