Good Morning maaaaahhmmeeey! Good Morning daaaaadddheeeey! Mwa! Mwa!

I’m so happy that day. I woke up early and went down to greet my Mom and Dad. I really do love thm. They’re my everything, my treasure, my strength.

Good Morning Baby Love! Why’d you woke up so early? Let me guess. *hmmmn* Aha! ‘Cause you’re already hungry? – Dad

Dad! You forgot it? – Irina

Of course not baby! I was just teasing! It’s your birthday! – Dad

I thought you already forgot it *sighs* - Irina

Hahaha! Such a cry baby! Of course we won’t baby, Happy Birthday! Mwa! *kiss* - Mom

They hugged me so tight as if I’m a life-sized teddy bear. They kissed me on my cheeks and patted me like a pet. They love doing that tho, that’s why I love them both.

Uuuh…. I ca-can’t….b-b-bre-ath….m-o-m…d-a-d….. – Irina

Oh! We’re sorry baby. You’re so fat tha’s why I thought tour a cuddly teddy bear! *chuckles* - Dad

Oh my! Am I that fat dad?! *gasp* - Irina

No baby. Dad’s just kidding, you’re not fat, besides you’re skinny. Hahaha! - Mom

Hah! See dad I’m not fat! *stuck tongue out* - Irina

Fine. Fine. I give up. So, go upstairs and get ready because –

Because we’re going out to celebrate my 13th birthday! Oh yes, I knew it dad! * Jumping, shouting, chanting* – Irina

Mom! Dad’s teasing me again! *pout* - Irina

*Laughs* Cmon baby, don’t mind Dad, he’s just happy cause you’re not a little baby anymore, and you’re our princess now. – Mom

Mom’s right princess. So c’mon! Buy all the things you want. Go on. – Dad

Super Mom! Like, I want to buy all the clothes, shoes, bags, and accessories I want when I was roaming around but they’re too expensive. – Irina

Why didn’t you bought it? - Dad

*CRRRRAAAASSSSSSSSSHH*

The next thing I saw was blood. Dad’s face was covered with blood. Mom’s face too.

I tried to call for help. I keep on shouting at the top of my lungs but it seems like no one could hear me.

Gab! Gab! GAAAAB! – Tita Eris

*shocked* - Irina

My God dear! I’ve been calling for you. Pero parang wala ka na naman sa tamang wisyo. – Tita Eris

Sorry Tita, I was just……. Uhh – Irina

You’re thinking about what happened five year ago? Right? – Tita Eris

Yes tita *Nod* - Irina

C’mon, move on dear, 5 year ago na yung accidenteng yun. Nagiging cold-hearted ka na tuloy minsan. Fix your blongings. Aalis na tayo after an hour. And finally! Makakauwi na tayo ng pinas! *dreamy eyes* - Tita Eris

*Sighs* makakaya ko na bang umuwi ng pilipinas? Iwan ang lugar kung saan ako’y nagkaroon ng masasayang alala kasama ang aking namayapang magulang?

Siguro nga, heto na talaga ang nakatadhana. Kailangan kong magpakatatag para sa mga taong nasa paligid ko. Uuwi ako at bubuo ng panibagong alala.
