the moment i stare at her eyes naalala ko kung sino siya.

flashback

mom just died when i was 9 after a year hindi pa rin ako nakarecover.

i stop playing and seeing with my friends, sila kevin(deluxe)

one day my father decided that we go out on a vacation. its december

' what are you doing here?' kuya ask.

' sitting of course'
' oh come on gino better get up and go out, were here on a province to breath some fresh air away from home.'

'i dont want. i want to be here alone--
'and what? isolating yourself from people?
little brother, its been almost a year and your still mourning-i mean yeah we cannot deny that but we must let it go and live.
do you think we were not hurting also?
think about it, dad is left alone'
why will dad be alone i am here and nathan?'dad is left alone raising us, the company, and moms mother our grandmother.
you know mrs president dont like dad, but mom just left us.
dad is turn into pieces he loves mom so much and hes blaming himself for moms death.'

'mom died because of cancer.'

'and she live long enough to show us how she loves us, but left dad all the difficulties in facing the great grandmother we had and you just add on his anxiety.
dad is affected also by your behavior-'
'what behavior?'
' you lossing your appetite and the confidence to live and face the world.
tayo na lang tatlo ang natira gino, tulungan naman natin si dad para makabangon at di na mahirapan.'

'i am not ready to forget mom'

'i dont mean to forget mom, i mean to start living and embracing the fact'

'what do you want me to do?'

'get up!go out, have friends and enjoy for once make the memories of mom makes you laugh not to reminisce it and cry. make it a happy memory not the sad one.'

yeah kuyas right.

i started to go out.

im outside the door when i see a child in front of the gate carrying a slide.
hes wearing a pants and a white poloshirt.

he saw me and waves.

'hi!'
' lo'

'come'
he said and runs directly crossing the road which leaves the motorcycles beep in despair.

he go inside on an old two storey antic house. its quite old theyre designs are the times of spanish people era.

he waves his hands and motion me to follow.

i followed.

in the table were full of delicious native foods.
the smells of it makes my mouth water.

'my grandmother cooks them for me, come eat, theyre really delicious' and he giggles, emphasizing how delicious those prepared food are.

i tasted them and grows to like them in fact i got fond of them that i always visit his house just to eat.

his grandmother is so nice which i never felt my grandmother would be.

the foods are delicious and warmth just how her love is poured onto her grandchild.

later on i know hes a girl but it doesnt matter, her aunt makes her look like one and she look good on them which makes me more comfortable.

the vacation finished and i started to feel just like before moving on with the death of my mother, i thank her a lot.

a schools vacation came and we decided to go back in the province.

we become more close, we eat together, bathe together in the river and sleeps together in her house.

but its all gone when her grandmother died.
its over i cannot bear to see her cry and i cannot bear to see a coffin the memories which happened before of her(my mother) abandoning me are all coming back flowing like a spring rushing out from the ground.
the fears i felt when mom is in the hospital till i see her vomits blood and finally draws her last breath in my arms and dad.

i cannot face it so i leave first, go back in my real world facing the fears alone and faking my feelings making me strong.
