Kinain Ka Na Ng Sistema

Starting today is my vacation. So, i'm here in my mother's house.

Its so good to be here. Well, i'm 31 and still single. The trees, the unpolluted air, the house. Everything. Everything seems so perfect. Maybe i just say that because i miss the old home.

"Elise! The sinigang you love is ready!" i heard the old but soft and soothing voice of my mother. My mom is so caring after all even she's 67 years old. She never leaves her responsibility for me. And oh, sinigang? How i miss that Filipino dish! After i finished my launch and helped mother to the dishes, i rode on my bike to see the town if anything has changed.

While i'm biking, some of the houses are renovated and kinda in modern style. But most of here are old but gold. I just smiled because when i was in States, i thought that this town might be modernized. Thank God its not.

I just remember a place where i want used to be. Oh yes, i remember. I turn my bike into the right and i go to that place.

The trees, the sound of a calm wind, the birds are singing... I heard them all while i'm biking even though i'm exhausted. I reminiscing those days. I want to see it. I miss someone...

*Flashback*

While we were playing the kite, he stops and asked me, "Hey, close your eyes." I followed him because i trust him.

"Follow me while i'm guiding you, ok? Just close your eyes firmly!" i followed what he said then we start walking.

"Promise me you won't forget this." he said in a naughty but soft voice while holding my wrist.

"Huh? What is it?" i feel a trunk of the tree with a deep carved on it.

*end of flashback*

Why he leave me on that time? I just don't understand why even though i understand him that he's a mysterious person.

Its been 21 years...

I read the carve markings with a kite to it in the tree trunk, "Libere ad te volare somnis"

It means fly higher freely with your dreams.
