[Czarinne’s POV]

            Nakatingin ako sa malayo. . . . The scenery was a vast array of a mixed society. There were buildings and different business establishments. This is my present world, the business world. . , a lot different from the environment where I grew up.

“KC, aren’t you supposed to be in bed? I know your tired. . .

            My Tita Winnie spoke. I did heared her but im kinda focussed to what Im doing and perhaps to what Im thinking. .

. . . . Thinking of something???”

I smiled and said, “Paano mo nahulaan, Tita!! Nakalimutan ko pala, your a mind reader, , “

            I’ve been living with my aunt almost 5 years here in Los Angeles, California. Ang Tita ko na ang naging pangalawang nanay ko since my family died in a car accident, very tragic noh. . .

“i just thought, Tita, its just a great relief looking at this wonderful sight. . .hahahaha, I realized I work too much pala. . .”

“hay, nako, hija!! Kaya nga bilib ako d’yan sa katawan mo, parang walang kinikilalang over fatigue. . “  we both laugh.

“tita naman. . “

“but you know, may mas marami pang magagandang views compared to that buildings. . . , I think its about time -----“

“about what, tita?”

“isn’t it the right tine for us to go back to the Philippines?? Its almost 5 years and. . . “

“Exactly!! ‘Yan nga ang iniisip ko ngayon, Tita. Your right, were going back to the Philippines, ASAP!!”

            Nakangiting sinabi ko ‘yun, well, gusto ko na naman talagang bumalik sa lupaing sinilangan ko. Anong nangyari sa concept ng nationalism kung ayaw ko naman. Pero i saw the confusion in the face of my Tita. .pero teka nga siya ‘tong may gusto ah!!

“Are you sure, hija??”

“Oh, i know that expression!!! Your thinking that im planning something evil when i go back to that place noh??!!”

“you’ve done it once, hija. . .and that time you said “i promise i’ll be out of trouble, tita”, but of course what happen then, we flew here in L.A.”

“grabe ka naman, tita. . .don’t you trust me??”

“black mailer ka talagang bata ka!! Of course, i trust you, kahit alam kung nilalagay mo palagi ang sarili mo sa kapahamakan, i still trust you. .its just, ngayon ba nakalimutan mo na ang lahat??”

“Everything in the past is left for the past. . . i don’t wanna leave any unfinished business there, tinapos ko na ang lahat- lahat ‘dun. . . babalikan ko pa ba yun, eh, ako na ‘to!! And you forgot, tita, Im Czarinne Kaye Serrano Mercado, Noone can stop me!!”

“except me!!!”

“and isn’t it romantic if dun mangyayari ang bonggang kasal ninyo ni Tito??”
