My real parents do not own a house. A mansion. You know a movie when you see a mansion. They are technically rich. Rich to the point that they can't find me. My real father has his house inherited to me while my mother Anne disappeared and that's when my father, Ezekiel, marries my aunt and her daughters.

Nadala lang ako ng emosyon na makita yung tao sa DNA result na yun pala ang tunay ko na magulang. Akala ko kasama nila si Mama Anne. Yun pala sila lang.I am sad about that thought pero nung nakausap ko sila kahit papaano. Gumaan na rin pakiramdam ko. Kahit yung pangungulila ko bigla kong naramdaman. Akala ko wala ako nun, sa puso ko pala meron."Mahal okay ka lang?" Limmuel asked.I just noticed how Lim

Mica asked.I breathe as I answer."I don't know where she is right now. Everything that she does is real. Alam niyo yun, inaalagaan niya ako at kung paano ginagawa ng isang magulang talaga.

I said it again and she seems so confused about it.“Lim, let's talk about it when we get home.” she said. “ I am also tired from the confrontation of my parents and this one's gonna add up. I need to have the courage to accept this. So let's get back to work.” she added.I know na na bigla ko siya but I have to tell her hindi pwedeng hahayaan ko na lang. Kailangan I have this courage to tell her the truth and nothing more than it. Mahirap pag sa iba pa manggagaling.“Okay mahal.” I said and hugged her. She seems confused but she also hugged me and that's enough for me.

He asked. The anger is gone and only worry is visible in his eyes."It all started nung nilooban ang bahay." I answered."So ganun na katagal?""Oo." Sagot ko at lumagok ng soju.
