"According to Greek mythology, humans were originally created with four arms, four legs and a head with two faces. Fearing their power, Zeus split them into two separate parts, condemning them to spend their lives in search of their other halves."

"LOUISA! Stop running, madadapa ka na naman," saway ni Patience sa anak.
Hindi siya pinansin ni Louisa at patuloy lamang sa paglalaro ng habulan kasama ang mga kaibigan "Bayaan mo na Patty. Birthday niya naman." Komento ni Tina.
"Louisa, come here I have your gift" tawag nito at lumapit naman ang bata "Happy 5th birthday Baby" at binigay ang regalo.
Tinanggap ito ni Louisa at binigay sa Ina. "Thank you Ninang and I'm not a baby anymore," sagot nito at bumalik din sa paglalaro.
Tinulungan ni Tina si Patience mag-ayos ng mga souvenir. "I don't know how you do it," wika ni Tina.
"Do what?" tanong ni Patience na naka focus sa ginagawa.
"Raise a child, all by yourself." sagot nito na nasa mukha ang paghanga.
Ngumiti si Patience sa kaibigan "It's hard but mahirap na masaya. Kahit wala na si Louis, I always think na she is a gift from him. Ayaw niya akong mag-isa." Malungkot niyang sagot.
"Ang emo mo naman sana hindi na ako nagtanong," ani Tina.
Pagkatapos ng insidente, Patience was forced to find a job kahit na buntis. She needs to work para mabuhay sila mag-ina. She has no parents anymore and all she has was her friends and her baby. Nang makaipon ng konting pera she stopped working for two months hanggang sa manganak. Luckily, Tina was always by her side para alaagaan ang anak tuwing nagtatrabaho siya.
"Hey did you see the news? Engaged na daw si Blaze." excited na wika ni Tina.
"Who's Blaze?"
"I forgot, you live in a cave. 'Yong millionaryong may ari ng Quartz Resorts and Hotels." sagot ni Tina.
"Hindi ko siya kilala. Ano naman ngayon?"
"He's on my three list and magpapatayo daw siya ng another chain of his resorts dito sa La Union."
"Three list?" ani Patience.
"Hindi mo alam 'yon? Three list of people you wanna cheat on even though you're married. Alam mo, you need a day off. Workaholic ka talaga. Labas tayo this weekend. Mag unwind," yaya ni Tina.
"I can't--"
"No! Lalabas tayo sa ayaw sa gusto mo. Ano'ng use ng nanny mo kung lagi ka naman nandito," putol nito sa sinasabi.
Walang magawa si Patience kundi tumango sa kaibigan. She's so persuasive that she can't refuse. Maybe she needed a day off. Masyado na siyang nakafocus sa trabaho niya. Work and bahay lang ang routine niya araw-araw, she rarely have fun simula nang magkaanak siya. And she looks like she really needed it.
