Nang makarating ako sa aming bahay, sinalubong agad ako nila meya at kink – ang mga aso kong naiwan nung nagbakasyon ako sa Maynila. Katapos naman nila ay ang pamilya ko naman.

All of them have huge smiles in their faces, they were glad to have me back not knowing of what happened in Manila. I came from a broken family yes, my father is a cheater. He cheated on my mom when i was 15 years old, my world shattered. I was once a daddy's girl but not anymore.

Kumakain kami ngayon ng pansit na gawa ng mama ko.

“ Kahit ano talagang gawin ng mga chef sa Manila, walang makakapantay sa luto mo ma. ” pagpupuri ko sakanya at niyakap niya naman ako pabalik.

“ Hay nako ma, naniwala ka naman diyan kay bi.” wika naman ni kuya.

Sinapok sa ulo ni mama si kuya, bagay lang yon sa kanya.

“ Ah baby ko, inayos na pala namin higaan mo nung wala ka pa. ” my mama happily dragged me towards my room, i was shocked to see my room very organized and “aesthetic” as people say.

I didn't have to say anything, i hugged her so tight i almost cried. I am so blessed to have a mother like her, For a while my brother joined us. We are happy even though there it's just the three of us.

They left me alone in the room so i can enjoy it more, as i roam i noticed that there are posters of my favorite bands like LANY, peach tree rascals and many more.

Hinayaan ko na matumba ang katawan ko upang ang higaan ang sumalo sa'kin, and there's where i realized that i was staring in a ceiling full of stars.

I stared into it a little more, William's memories came back. I can still hear his giggle, feel his touch, his efforts. Why would he cheat on me? I started crying again, as i put my hands upward, i touched a box as i open it songs from musicals was heard.

I read the note carefully

“ I know you're crying again, not because i wasn't there I wouldn't know. I love you my baby, sleep tight.
Love, Kuya Spencer. ”  My tears came through my cheeks like a flood, he's still the best brother i could have.

He was the one who stood up as my father in our events, he's my saviour in my crazy times, he was always there for me. I wonder how I could pay him back someday.

I heard a knock from the door, i opened it and saw my brother waiting for a hug I rushed and hugged him tight. I miss the comfort that he gives me when I'm sad.

“ So how's your heart baby? Still hurting? ” he asked with a concerned but calm voice.

I nodded, he gave me a kiss in the forehead and hugged me afterwards.

“ Have you heard of what happened to this guy? ”he asked and showed my a picture of William, oh no. What did he do?!

“ W-what did you do again this time? ”

“ I heard, he has nowhere to live now. Aw pity him, pity ex. ” he said confidently.

I should've felt guilty but instead, i felt happiness and revenge. My brother, Spencer started singing me my favorite song to let me sleep. He's still the best at what he does right?
