"Ma! Were here." Carmina calls her mom who is still staring at nowhere. The plane just landed in Manila few minutes ago, people are already busy going to and fro while the both of them stayed inside.Marian is playing her fingers then, as she look at the overview City of Manila. She's having what if's in her mind. The city change a lot---so is She?
After twelve years of escaping the place where so many-----for her bad memories and unexpected happenings to their life that came to test her faith and her love. Now she's finally back.
Back to fulfill her daughters wish.
"Mama!" This time Carmina pats her shoulder.
She turn to her daughter and heaves a sigh.
"Are you okay?" She ask worriedly.
Marian just give her a shrug and replies. "After twelve years of being away. I still can't figure out myself."
She nods. "I know Mama, but if you think that going back here is not a good idea. It's okay with me. I will not....."
"It's okay Carmz. I think I need to do this." She tries to breath in. "And I've already moved on. So no need to worry about me okay?" Marian squeeze her hand over her shoulder and speak again.
"Let's go! I'm sure somebody is waiting for us. Kung sino man siyang magsusundo sa atin."
Carmina beam a smile at her and replies. "Cassandra is waiting for us Mama! My Twin sister."
Marian just Bob her head and walk ahead as she walks outside the plane.
For the first time in no longer than she could remember, she had the perfect family.
There is sadness in Carmina's face when her Mama's expression changed. She's disappointed of how she reacted hearing her sister's name. After twelve years she'd expect that her Mom will still consider her Twin as her daughter. Since they moved in London.
Never a time that Marian ask how is Cassandra doing in the Philippines every time she caught her talking to her twinnie on the phone. Not even her Papa.
She never acknowledged their presence. After the accident happened, Marian changed a lot. She became a cold hearted woman. A strong woman who can put his man down. And even Carmina don't know her Mama anymore.
"Twinnieeeeeee." Cassie shouts and wave her hand as she welcomes her sister and of course her Mama.
She run towards them excitedly and give Carmina a tight embrace.
"Finally nagkita na tayo. I Miss you so much Twin." Cassie kiss her sister's cheek.
"Awww! I miss you so much too Twin." She replies.
When they withdraw Cassie's attention shifted to the beautiful woman beside her. She stares at her for a while from up to down. She got intimidated at first but the feeling of how she misses this woman prevails inside her and finally has the courage to hug her Mama.
"I miss you so much Mama." She speaks. "Hindi mo alam kung gaano ako kasaya na makita kang muli. I love you Mama." She hug her even more as the tears pool down her cheeks.
Marian still act discreet. She feel the same inside her, she longed for her daughter's embrace too. But she manage to be strong, fighting for her feeling. She's numb over the years.
She tries to smile and pats her back.
Cassandra noticed that she's not already comfortable from her embrace that's why she withdraw herself. "I'm sorry! Namimiss ko lang po talaga kayo."
