Mavis' POV
10 years later...

"Mama! Mama!" Napalingon ako sa isang batang babae bago pa man ako makalabas ng pintuan. Tumakbo siya palapit sa akin and she straight her arms to me. She pouted. "Up, Mama! Up!"

Napangiti ako at siya'y kinarga. "May, Mama will leave. She is going to her work now," sabi ko at saka hinalikan siya sa noo.

"No! Mama will stay!" pagdabog niya. Napailing-iling na lamang ako at saka siya ibinaba. Tumalikod na ako at aalis na sana nang hinatak niya ang dulo ng palda ko. "Mama, don't leave me!" sigaw niya. Napalingon ako sa kanya. May namumuo ng luha sa mata niya.

I looked at her softly and sit at her eye level. "Mayra Liane Throver, what did I say if Mama wants to leave for work?"

She sniffed. "Don't stop her on leaving," she said in a low voice.

Napangiti ako at ginulo ang kanyang buhok. "Good girl. I'll give you a present later, but behave," sabi ko sa kanya. Tumango naman siya. "Good. Now, play with your brother."

"No! Ayaw ko! I don't want to play with Mare!" sigaw niya at nagdabog muli. "I want to play with Mama!"

"Mayra, remember what I said," sabi ko sa kanya. "Or I will not going to give you a treat."

"Mama is mean. Mama won't give Mayra a present," sabi niya at naghalukipkip.

Natawa naman ako sa kanyang inasta. "Mama will give you a present. Just stay behave to your Lola Helen and Tita Ire ha?"

"Fine!" Natawa ako sa kanyang inasta at ginulo ang kanyang buhok. "Ahh~ Mama, don't make Mayra's hair messy-duchie! Mayra will not be pretty!" reklamo niya.

"Oo na po," nakangising sabi ko sa kanya. "Call Mare. I will also say goodbye to him."

"Okie po," nakangiting sabi ni Mayra at umalis. Pagkarating niya ay kasama na niya ang kanyang kapatid.

Ngumiti ako ng makita siya. He looks like Flare, a little Flare who had the same traits as his.

"Mama, if you look at me like that, I'll tell Tita Ire to give you back to Papa," Mare said coldly when he is near me.

Napangiti ako sa kanya. "You just reminded me of your Papa. Can't help it. Magkamukha kayong dalawa. Magkamukhang-magkamukha."

He rolled his eyes. "I'm in a bad mood, Mama, so don't mess up with me," sabi niya, halatang naiirita sa sinabi ko.

Natawa ako. "Fine. I'll get going now," sabi ko at hinalikan siya sa noo bago nagpaalam.

Hi. I am Mavis Sherlia Throver, 28 years old. Living in London with my 10-year-old kids, Mayra and Mare, and with Tita Helen Throver, my stepmother and Irelia-- Ire for short--my stepsister. We've been living normally for 10 years ever since I left the Furrer Mansion.

Parang kahapon lang nang umalis ako sa Furrer Mansion, nagkaroon ng anak when I was 18 years old habang patuloy ako ng pag-aaral, and now, I am a journalist in a company I am working on for the past 8 years.

Napabuntong-hininga na lamang ako at pumasok na ng building. Ang aking mga nakakasalubong ay binabati ako at ngumingiti sa akin. Napapatango ako sa kanila at nginingitian din sila pabalik.

Nang makapasok ako sa elevator ay nagsibatian rin ang lahat ng tao. Nginitian ko sila at inayos ang aking sarili. When I arrived at the 23rd floor, kaagad akong pumunta sa office ng boss ko.

Binati ko ang kanyang sekretarya nang makapunta ako roon. "Anong maipaglilingkod sa inyo, Ms. Editor-in-Chief?"nakangiting sambit ng sekretarya.
