"Tikaaa" is the first word I utter when I meet her in her diapers. "Tikaaa" is the first word she says when she sneaks up on me at the airport.

Eight years after i leave sweet Bacolod for bustling Manila, I meet up with Menggay in the arrival area.

I take her bags and load it in my car.

"Yes, RJ?"

"Buckle up, Ms. Maine."
