"Avery, anak how are you? May masakit ba sayo?" After ilang hours ay nagising narin si Avery.
"I'm fine" maiksing sagot nito bakas sa mukha nya ang lungkot at malaki narin ang eyebags nya ang laki ng pinagbago nya.
"Avery kung may problema ka man pwede mo kaming kausapin ng Papa mo anak please mag open ka sa amin hindi ko na kakayanin pa kung mauulit ito."
Napaiyak naman si Avery at maging ako ay umiyak narin napakasakit makita syang umiiyak kung pwede ko lang akuin lahat ay ginawa ko na.
"Ma ayoko na"
"Shh kaya mo yan anak nandito kami ng papa mo"
"Ma gusto ko ng makita ang mga anak ko gusto ko na silang makausap gusto ko na silang mayakap miss na miss ko na sila."
"Konting tiis nalang anak gumagawa ng paraan ang tito mo at ang papa mo tumutulong din ang Mama Lucy mo."
"Avery matagal na naming napag isipan ito ng Mama mo at ang approval mo nalang ang kailangan namin, gusto sana namin na palitan na ang apelyido mo pero wag kang magalala dahil yung mga mahahalagang papeles mo ay ipapabago din namin pero anak kapag nabago na ang apelyido mo ay wala ng bisa ang kasal nyo ni Grayson malaki ang magiging epekto nito sa kaso mo laban sa kanila."
"S-sige po pumapayag na po akong palitan ang apelyido ko pero may hihilingin lang po sana ako gusto ko pong pati ang mga apelyido ng mga anak ko ay mabago din."
"Susubukan namin anak"
"Thanks Pa"
"Pero anak nakapag isip isip ka na ba tungkol sa muli mong pag aaral?"
"Yes Ma may desisyonan na po ako and I decided na ituloy ang pag aaral ko gusto ko po pagkalabas na pagkalabas ko dito sa ospital ay sisimulan ko na ang pag aaral ko."
"Salamat anak"
Matapos ang ilang araw na pananatili namin sa ospital ay sa wakas pinayagan na sya ng doktor na lumabas pagkalabas ay dumiretso na kami agad sa manila sinalubong naman kami nila anton, lucy, julianna, ayisha at jacobo nagkaroon lang ng maliit na salo salo sa bahay namin dahil bukas na ang flight ni Avery papuntang America ilang taon din syang mamamalagi doon. Matapos ang salo salo ay umakyat na si Avery sa kanyang kwarto para makapag ayos na daw sya ng mga gamit nya sumama naman sa kaniya sina Lucy at Julianna.

"Ate I'll miss you"
"I will miss you too Julianna promise me you'll keep an eye on Mama and Papa ok?"
"Yah I promise but you must also promise that you will call me every month"
"Yup I promise"
"Oh I still have another request, Avery I hope you have time to visit us here whenever its someone's birthday like my birthday or dad's or maybe mom or tita Dawn, tito Anton, Ayisha and Jacobo and of course you should visit us when its your birthday so to sum it up, in a year you can go here for like 8 times."
"Julianna that's too much to ask to your ate"
"But mom I don't want her to missed those important days in our lives"
"Julianna your ate can decide on her own besides she'll go there to study and after that she will go back here and live with us for good. Am I right Avery? "
"Of course, Ma. Julianna I cannot promise that I can fulfill your wishes because I may be busy but I will surely call you and that's a promise that I'll never break. "
"I'm gonna miss you so much because your my ate and you're always there when I need you, you know I'm not like those kids because I'm always shy and I can only express myself whenever I'm with you or with mom or dad and now you won't be there so I'm gonna be alone again and I hate being alone. "
"You can always call me whenever you're feeling blue, Julianna. "
"I love you ate"
"I love you too my beautiful sister" Julianna gave me a hug and Mama Lucy also joined us. I know that I'll be gone for a year or two and I will miss them so much but this is for the better.
"Call me when you need anything ok sweetheart? And don't skip meals understand? "
"Yes Ma I'll keep that in mind."
"I love you Avery you're like my own daughter and it's heartbreaking that you need to live us. Be careful living there I know it will be tough because you'll be staying there by yourself just call me when you need because you're also my baby, you and Julianna are my babies always remember that. "
"Thank you for accepting me as your own daughter, I love you Ma. "
A knock on the door interrupted us, it was papa.
"Oh no the pipes are broken. "
"Dad stop it" julianna groaned
"My babies are crying but they still look lovely."
"Oh no here we go again. " It was always like that whenever Julianna and I cries Papa always makes a joke out of it oh come on we don't look lovely when we cry the last time that Julianna and I cried was when were watching a movie and Papa suddenly came and started filming us gosh we are so embarrassed and he showed it to Mama Dawn and Mama Lucy and they came up with a name calling us drama queens they even made a joke that we should be actresses.
"Dad don't you dare film us"
"I won't, Julianna. Hey its 11 in the evening and we need to go home. "
"Dad can I sleep in here? "
"You should ask your ate if she wants to sleep with you and of course your tita Dawn because it's their house. "
"Ate can I sleep in here? "
"Of course "
"Yes! Now I'm gonna ask tita Dawn I'll be right back. "
In the end Ayisha, Jacobo and Julianna sleep beside me.
When the sun started to shine we all did our routines because my flight is early so Papa and Mama Lucy came at exactly 6 in the morning and at 7 we finished eating breakfast and we ride the van and at 9 we are now here in the airport.
"Avery call me when you get there and please send me an update about you everday. "
"Ok Ma. Take care of yourself and of course take care of my little siblings. "
"I will miss you darling"
"I will miss you too Mama. Pa please take care of them. "
"I will"
"I love you guys" I bid my goodbye and I headed inside the airport this is it this is the start where our lives will change.
