When I was a kid, 3 or 5 years old maybe, I had this strangest dream.

A dream where fairies and mermaids exist.

Of course it was just an effect of being an addict to fairy tales and being an innocent with wide imagination kid.

I was born in a well family. Mayaman ang angkan namin pero hindi sikat.

Isa itong prinsipyo na pinaninindigan ng aming pamilya. We don't want to be famous. So we live in the simplest life as we can.

Ang hindi ko lang gusto sa pamilyang ito, they keep too many secrets na only the oldest among our clan knew.

So yung pinakamatanda sa aming angkan ngayon ay ang Lola ng Lolo ni Mama. Imagine? Ilang taon sya?

300 years old. The oldest lady I've known that still breathe. It was a family secret of course. And yet, parang magkapatid lang sila ng Lolo ni Mama.

Because of my curiosity, I sneak into that basement na pinagbabawal.

Napanganga ako sa aking nakita. Literally.

At dahil sa katigasan ng aking ulo, I have to face my consequences. . .

and I never imagined in my 20 years, na ganito ang sekretong tinatago ng angkan ng Ricafrente.
