"Sabi sa'yo maganda!"

"Yeah she is."

"Magaling din siya mag english Erah."

"Really?"

"Oo siguro dapat ako den mag sanay na dahil kayo na yatang dalawa ang palagi kong makakasama."

A blurry image of two girls watching me was the first thing I saw when I woke up this day.

"Hala!"

"You wake her up Aya!"

Nilakihan ko ang mga mata ko at tuluyan na ngang naaninag ang dalawang batang babae na mukhang ka edad ko lang. When they realized that I'm awake, they quickly run away.

"Inang gising na po siya!"

"I'm not the one who wake her up! It's Mariah!" mula sa kwarto ay rinig na rinig ko ang boses nila. Maliit nga lang kasi ang bahay.

Tumayo na ako at kumuha ng mga damit para maka deretso sa bathroom at maligo na.

"Allen hija?" I heard Inang Sela's soft voice as she knocked on the bathroom door.

"Yes po?" I continued applying shampoo on my hair.

"Akala ko ba'y manonood ka ng balita?" oo nga! I almost forgot!

Agad akong nabuhayan ng loob at dinalian ang pagligo!

"Did you see my father in T.V?" I asked her immediately as I stormed out of the bathroom.

"Uh, wala e." sadness crept in me.

Paano na to? I don't have any contact number of my father even my mother. Ugh. I really hate her for betraying me.

"H-hey." a girl with a long hair approached me. She's the one with Aya a while ago.

"What?" mataray kong baling bago pinalis ang mga luhang lumalandas sa aking pisngi.

"W-why are you c-crying?" I can sense her nervousness. I felt guilty.

I sighed and face her. "I'm lost. M-my father d-didn't find m-me at all."

"You know what, Inang Sela is a kind woman. I bet she'll take good care of you." she smiled as her eyes twinkled.

"But it's quite embarrassing to be here. I didn't even know them and they don't know me. I want to go home." nakita ko ang paglapit ni Inang Sela sa akin at umupo siya sa tabi ko habang ang mga braso'y nasa balikat ko.

"Allen, hindi kita pababayaan. Hihintayin natin ang pag hahanap sayo ng Dad mo. Pero para maalagaan ka, pansamantala ka muna dito ha. Kung awayin ka man ni Erah at Aya sabihin mo lang saken ha." she assured me and smiled. I felt relieved.

"Inang! I'm not a bad girl!" Erah pouted.

"Alam ko hija."

Hinanda ang umagahan at doon din nakikain si Erah.

"What's that?" I asked pointing at the thin fish beside their scrambled egg.

"It's called tuyo! You should try it it's delicious!" si Erah ang sumagot para sa akin.

Kinuha ko naman iyon at pinag tatakhan kung pano ba yon kinakain. Hindi ba ako matitinik dito?

I saw Papang glanced at me and smiled. Kinuha niya ang tuyo ko at hinimay iyon. Ang maliliit na parte ay binigay niya sa akin.

"Thank you." I politely said.

"Walang problema hija." he smiled genuinely.

I ate the tuyo and it's surprisingly delicious! I haven't taste food like that! Ngayon lang!
