One month, that's all I have. I'll take it for now and do whatever I could to make them stay longer. I followed Alyssa when she went to look for Kassy, Mom and Dad. I kept my distance, I haven't seen her so mad. It's like she bottled up all of her emotions for 5 years and then released all those pent-up feelings in less than 10 minutes. When Kassy sees her, she ran to Alyssa and they we're both smiling. I want to be part of that too, but I'll wait for the right time. Kassy saw me and called me
Come here, Tito Kiefer. she called me. Tell me the good news Nay, are we going with Tito Kiefer?
Yes, but only for a month. Alyssa said looking at me asking me to agree with her so I nod.
Yes. I'm so happy I'll be in Manila. she said.
Why are you so excited to go to Manila? Mom asked Kassy.
Kassy looked at Alyssa and said, Nay, don't be mad at Lolo Jerry but he told me my Tatay is in Manila. That's why i'm so excited. Thank you Nay for agreeing with me to go to Manila. She said that shocked Alyssa
Anything for you baby but don't expect too much, Manila is so big and crowded. You might not see your Tatay there. Alyssa said.
It hurts to know that Alyssa doesn't have any plan to tell Kassy the truth. Right now could've been the perfect moment but instead Alyssa chose not to tell Kassy about me.
Be patient anak? Everything will be okay. My mom whispered to me while hugging me.
Tito Kiefer, why are you sad? Aren't you happy we're coming with you? she asked me.
I'm not sad, I am so happy you'll come with me. I can't wait to show you around the city. I said.
She hugged me and whispered, Can you help me find my Tatay?
I look at her and said, I will.
Nay, when are we leaving? She asked Alyssa.
It's up to Tito Kiefer. She said.
Kassy looks at me asking. Anytime you want. I told her.
Can we go tomorrow? So I can spend time with my Daddy and Lolo Jerry first. She asked.
Take all the time that you need. I replied to her.

Umuwi muna kami ni Kassy at sinabi ko na lan kay Kiefer na babalik na lan kami sa resort bukas. Kararating lan namin sa bahay at nandito si Mikee at Tito Jerry sa sala. Kumandong naman si Kassy sa Lolo niya agad at niyakap ito.
Why? what's wrong apo? tanong ni tito kay Kassy
Nothing's wrong Lolo, i will just miss you because I'm going to Manila to look for my Tatay tomorrow. sabi ni Kassy sa Lolo niya.
I am your daddy. singit ni Mikee.
You still are, don't be jealous daddy. I will only look for my real Tatay, right Lolo? tanong ni Kassy kay Tito.
Apo i told you it's our secret, why did you tell everybody about it? tanong ni Tito kay Kassy.
Pa ano na naman sinabi mo kay Kassy? Kulit niyo ho talaga. inis na sabi ni Mikee.
Don't be mad at Lolo, Daddy. Sorry Lolo, i just got too excited when Nanay agreed to go to Manila. I remembered what you told me before. That my Tatay is there. sabi ni Kassy na nakangiti sa Lolo niya.
Are you excited? Lolo will be sad because you are leaving me. nagtatampong sabi ni Tito.
I'm not leaving you for good, Nanay told me we'll just stay there only for a month and you can also visit me there with Daddy because I will miss both of you. sabi ni Kassy.
