She's sitting comfortably at  Trevor's Resto Café, one of the famous and glamorous Resto Café here in US. Sipping her frappe when a loud voice disturbed her reverie.





"Hey! Clarion Evans!"





She sighed. That's her best friend. Blair Johnson. Two years na nya itong kaibigan dito sa ibang bansa at masasabi niyang she's something. Mayaman 'din ito at nasa business ang ama at ina. She's a Fil-Am so nagkakaintindihan sila, nag-aral kasi ito ng tagalog ng magbakasyon ito sa Pilipinas ilang taon na ang nakakaraan, ika nito.






“Why are you late? It's already 10:30 AM. Lagpas sa usapan.”





Lumapit ito sa kanya na nakabusangot ang mukha.







“Im sorry, may lalaki kasing bwesit don sa kalsada eh, kala mo model don pa talaga sa gitna nag e-emo. Sorry na, I'll just treat you. Shopping.”






She smiled, a devilish on. “Okay. Treat me later, then. Uubusin ko yang laman ng cards mo.”






Blair pout. "What? You can't do that."





She rolled her eyes and murmured.





“Ba't nga ba di pa ko nasanay?”





She smirked playfully. “I can really do that.”






“You're so hostile to me. Mayaman ka naman a. Mas mayaman nga ata sa min.”






“My family is, not me.”




“You belong to this 'family', then you're filthy rich too.”





She tsk-ed. “I meant, my mother.”





“Whatever. Nga pala, alam mo bang kilala ko ang may-ari nitong cafe?”






May hambog sa tuno nito. She must be. Kung kilala nga nito ang may-ari ay talagang nakakahanga, this cafe is very known and have lot's of branches around the world. She heard that the owner is from the Philippines.




"We should hangout today. Deal?"



“Of course! ”



"Ma, I really don't want to go back yet. You know that, right? Alam mo ang kondisyon ko, di ko pa kaya. Don't force me to do things I don't want to do, please."





Kalaunan ay tumawag ang Ina. Pinapauwi siya na ayaw niya naman. To the Philippines, her hometown, where everything started.






"Clarion baby, I already explained the reason. And wether you like it or not, uuwi ka dito sa Pilipinas, understand? And don't you miss me? Your sisters?"






"Nagkikita naman tayo sa video call, nakikita ko ang mga ate ko 'pag bumibisita sila. Okay na yun."







“Pero, baby! I need you here.”




“Bakit?”




“Kailangan ba may rason? I need you simple because you're my daughter and I miss you!”





“Ma, kung gugustuhin mo pwede ka namang bumisita dito. I'm still recovering. I think....I can't travel.”





“You can. Sige na please, baby! Miss na miss na kita.”
