 A/n:"CHEERS TO A NEW YEAR AND ANOTHER CHANCE FOR US TO GET IT RIGHT!"

There are times you can't really see or even feel how sweet life can be. Hopefully its mountains will be higher than its valleys are deep. I know things that are broken can be fixed. Take the punch if you have to, hit the canvas and then get up again.

And I pray somehow this pain will disappear and I'll be the new Yna. 

I went near the sea to see the children having fun. I stood up there watching them.

How lucky these children are, I wished I could turn back the time when I was still happy, not minding big problems in life.

"Ate! Para po sainyo o!" napatingin ako sa batang may inaabot saking star fish

"Para sakin?" tumango ito sa tanong ko

"Ganun ba? Salamat dito ah." kinapa ko ang bulsa. I groaned when I realized wala akong dalang wallet

"Ah, eh. Paano ba yan, wala ata akong maibibigay sayo pabalik e, kung gusto mo an..."

He stopped me by waving his hands to say 'No, It's fine'

"Hindi na po ate. Pansin ko po kasi na malungkot kayo kaya binigay ko na saiyo yang nakuha ko sa dagat para sumaya naman po kayo kahit sandali lang"

napa ngiti ako ng malaki dahil sa sinabi ng batang ito. Kaya ko napigilan ang mapayakap sakanya

"ok lang po yan ate."

Noong nakabawi na ako, Dun ko lang siya hinarap.

"Palagi ka bang nanghuhuli nito?"

"Hindi po ate, minsan lang po, sobrang lungkot ko rin po dahil kahapon lang noong sinabing nabaril daw si tatay kaya siya namatay, kaya nandito po ako para hanapin ang nagpapasaya sakin, pero parang kailangan mo din po yang star fish kaya binigay ko na po sainyo"

My eyes widened. I was very selfish, hindi ko man lang naisip na sa labas ng mundo ko ay may mas madalim pang mundo ang kinakaharap ng ibang tao.

Sobrang gulat at pagkabalot ng lungkot para sa batang itong nangungulila na sa kanyang ama ang tanging nararamdaman ko ngayon.

"Ate aalis na po ako, baka hinahanap na ko nila Ate." Wala sa sariling napatango ako

after a minute of being silent bumalik na ako sa tamang pag iisip. So rude of me na di ko man lang natanong ang pangalan niya.

I went back to my hotel room and packed my things. I need to go back to my world. I need to face my reality. I need to be strong like the child earlier. 

Kaya ko naman sigurong magbago kahit kaharap ko na ang mga kahinaan ko.

Transformation is a process, and as life happens there are tons of ups and downs. It's a journey of discovery - there are moments on mountaintops and moments in deep valleys of despair.

"Anak, are you ready?" my dad asked for the nnth time

"Dad, I was ready way back 8 years ago. I am still."

Remembering way back 8 years ago. I went to Manila only to see my father fumming mad and angry about what I did.

He booked us a flight to New york immedietely. He was worried sick that he might loose his only daughter, his only child.

I agreed. I finished my studies here and graduated, Bachelor of science in business Administration. I am now curently holding one of our hotel here in NY.

looking back then. My father sent an annnulment papers to Calvin, but the papers was not sent back to us. 

"Call me, when you arrived in the Philippines alright?"

"Ofcourse, Dad" I kissed him on his cheek and went inside the airport

One of our hotels in the Philippines got bankrupt for unknown reason, so my  father decided to send me there instead of the other branch manager.

I arrived at the Vigan's airport just on time. 

A BMW fetched me. 

"Good Afternoon, Miss Cruz" The crew greeted us I enter the hall

I just bow as a sign of greeting them back

"I'm going to work starting tomorrow for now get me a suite I need to rest"

Nagmadaling kumilos ang lahat. 

A lady dressed with a corporate attire went to me

"This way to your room Miss"

She showed me the way and I followed her quitely.
