NOT A HAPPY ENDING

III

EL Salvador is an hour ride from the city proper hindi naman ganon kalaki ang pamasahe kasi hindi naman ito malayo sa syudad. As what I see while sitting here beside the window there are  lots of improvement now than before, dati kasi people used to use lampara as their light in the night but now mayroon nang kuryente dito, lampara parin naman ang ginagamit ng iilan at hindi pa masyadong marami ang nag mamay-ari ng television dito in short this place is a Literal na province still improving.

Dito lumaki ang mama ko hanggang sa naging byuda siya and married my dad they also lived here for awhile farming and not that long they decided to moved in the city kasi mas malapit sa work nila. Lumipat si kuya rodel dito when my mom died,he's here to manage the farms we had here kasi wala na si mama and he left me in dads hands which never took that long because a couple of years after my mothers death he died.

*Beeeeeep* car horn
Oh! I almost forgot malapit na pala ako.
sa dami kasi ng nagbago hindi ko na lubos ma isip kung saan lulugar🙁 chos! Hahaha diko na lubos ma familiarize ang lugar ang tanging naalala ko lang ay ang mga palayan sa tabi ng daan kapag nakita ko na sila that was it the sign na dapat mag move-on na ako chos again! Hehehe sign yun na malapit na ako sa poblacion

Farming is the number one source of income sa mga tao dito, palayan,tabacco at ibat-ibang mga gulay. Everything is also fresh here the air,plants,food. Ibang-iba sa syudad kung saan maraming toxic at feeling fresh kahit ugod na! Ooops🙊

"Oh yung mga sa elsal lang jan malapit na tayu ihanda niyo na pamasahe niyo"

Ani ng driver. I have no time left weekend naman ngayon kaya nag decide na akong lumipat I brought all my things at na-text ko na rin sina kuya na magpapasundo ako sa teminal infact their were waiting there now together with his wife.

My step brother rodel is married with salome 2 years ago,that long pero hindi pa sila nag kaka-anak sabi kasi ni kuya he want to have a child in the right time si ate naman todo supporta lang sa kuya ko hindi naman kasi madali pag nagka pamilya kana lalong-lalo na ngayon nagmamahalan narin pati mga bilihin.

Lakas ng loob magmahalan kala mo naman walang mga nasasaktan! Pwe

"Manong ito po pamasahe ko SP yan poblacion lang ho"

Pag abot ko sa pamasahe para makababa na. I look everywhere and breathe deeply.

This is it alice a new beginning.

"Alice!"

I heard a loud voice shouting my name and I knew it that familiar voice is no one but Salome. I look everywhere to find that voice and there she was at my back waving at me,I quickly go to where they are waiting.

Malayo palang ako I can see that warm welcome in their faces. Matagal narin since the last day we saw each other since I get so busy sa school and everything in the city mahirap mag laan ng oras para mag bakasyon dito.

"Salome! Kumusta?"

I ask her pagdating ko sa kanila she obviously looks great and well loved unlike me. I look very drastic and stressed

"Okay lang kami ng kuya mo Al,ikaw? Mukhang di ata kayu okay ng syudad ah? O baka binugbog ka nang koleheyo? Hahahahaa"

I raised my brows. Is that a joke? Am I suppose to laugh? Hays but i have to admit that makes sense.

"Oo LQ kami eh diko na natiis ako na ang umalis ako na ang nag paraya ako na ang dumistansya para hindi na sya mahirapan at tuluyan na syang maging masaya"
