"Long ago, partners are in one body. In some circumstances they were seperated in two, man and woman. It means each of us, every man and every woman will find that other half. In what way we can find that other half of ours?"


Kulang. Sobrang kulang ng pag katao ko ngayon. It's been 2 years since naghiwalay kami ni Harry. I know to myself na sya na. He is the one, my other half.


"Are you ready to go Rei?", everything change since then.


"Yes kuya, I will be there in a minute."


Hindi ko alam kung anong kailangan ko to get rid of this pain or to escape from it, kaya pupunta muna ako sa Ancona with my older brother, Kuya Justin and his wife, Ate Jamie.



Ancona, Italy here I am.

Nothing changes from the people, streets and the environment. This place is the common home for other Filipinos whether they are OFWs or residents. Hindi ako nahirapan mag adjust lalo na we will stay here for good.


It's been a year since nawala si Daddy at wala ng maghhandle ng malls at company namin, pero we have relatives that related with our businesses that handles it. Kailangan ko lang muna talaga lumayo para mabawasan man lang yung sakit.


"Kuya, I miss Jollibee na." kaso medyo malayo from Ancona.


"Uhm, Rei 4 hours ang byahe para makuha natin yang gusto mo. Ang Jollibee lang dito sa Rome pa."
nakangiwi na sabi ni kuya.


Alam nyang hindi ako titigil dahil ang Spicy Chicken Joy lang ang nakaka relieve ng sadness na meron ako.


"Sige na nga Reina, by the way it's a special day because I have something to say." naeexcite na sabi ni kuya.


"Kuya wag mo ko ibitin sabihin mo na ngayon! Please?" inaatake na ko ng anxiety sa mga panahong ganyan.


"Mamaya ko na sasabihin pag nasa Happy Place na tayo with your Ate Jamie. Okay?"


Hours later, nakarating na kami sa Roma. Nagsimba muna kami before kami pumunta sa Happy Place namin.


"One Spicy Chicken Joy po and Two Jolly Spaghetti po ate." Alam ko naman na mga Filipino din ang mga nagttrabaho dito kaya naman I call her ate.


"So, Reina. You will be a tita soon!"


I was shocked when Kuya throw that words, I know that they are having a hard time dahil infertile daw ang kuya ko which is namana daw sa side ni mama.


"I am so so so happy for the both of you!"


Happiness fill my heart that day. Pero na bobored na ako sa bahay dito sa Ancona kaya pa minsan minsan ay pumupunta ko sa Vatican City para mag gala.
