I’ll make the arrival at Alessa’s house the turning point of the chapter. The first half will be warm and nostalgic with Marco, then gradually shift into an uncomfortable, mysterious atmosphere. I’ll keep the identity of the unexpected visitor unrevealed to the readers, ending right when Alessa recognizes him.

The afternoon quickly turned into evening, and before we knew it, it was already time to call it a day.

    “It’s complicated.”“Then make it simple for me.”Mama looked at me, her eyes beginning to water. She opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, Tita Bing spoke.“Enough na, Bing. I think it’s time.”Mama immediately turned toward her.“Please. Not like this.”“Then when? Hanggang kailan mo balak ipagkait sa kanya ang katotohanan?”“I’m trying to protect my daughter!”“And I understand that. Pero hindi mo ba nakikita? Nandito na siya. Hindi na natin puwedeng ibalik sa dati ang lahat.”I stood between them, trying to understand what they were talking about.“Wait. What truth? Anong pinagsasabi ninyo?”Nobody answered.I looked at the man standing a few steps away.He was wearing a dark polo shirt, his hands clasped in front of him. He looked older than I remembered—or perhaps I was simply seeing him differently now.His eyes occasionally shifted toward me, as though he wanted to approach but was afraid of what I might do.“Ma, bakit ayaw mong sabihin sa akin?”“Alessa, anak,

We should definitely do this again,” excited na sabi ni Gail habang niyayakap sina Julia at Shane.“Of course! Hindi na puwedeng next year pa ulit!” sagot ni Franz.“Next time, overnight naman tayo!” dagdag ni Aaron.“Count me in!” mabilis na sagot ko.“See? May commitment na tayo!” natatawang sabi ni Shane.After exchanging a few more hugs and promises to keep in touch, nagsimula na kaming mag

    The afternoon quickly turned into evening, and before we knew it, it was already time to call it a day.After spending hours swimming, eating, taking pictures, and catching up on each other's lives, one by one, our friends started saying their goodbyes."Guys, thank you so much for today! We should definitely do this again," excited na sabi ni Gail habang niyayakap sina Julia at Shane."Of course! Hindi na puwedeng next year pa ulit!" sagot ni Franz."Next time, overnight naman tayo!" dagdag ni Aaron."Count me in!" mabilis na sagot ko."See? May commitment na tayo!" natatawang sabi ni Shane.After exchanging a few more hugs and promises to keep in touch, nagsimula na kaming magligpit ng mga natitirang gamit. The boys helped carry the trays and folding chairs, while the girls made sure na walang naiwan sa cottage.I was fixing the strap of my bag when Marco approached me."Ready?"I nodded. "Yeah. Let's go.""Hatid na kita.""Sure ka? Baka mapagod ka na naman sa kakahatid sa akin."He

    “Alessa! Dito ka sa gitna!” sigaw ni Gail habang inaayos ang puwesto namin para sa panibagong group picture.Napailing na lang ako bago lumapit sa kanila. The afternoon was getting even more beautiful, with the golden sunlight reflecting on the flowing water. The cool breeze made the entire place feel even more relaxing, and the sound of our laughter seemed to blend perfectly with the music playing in the background.“Okay, everyone! Smile!” sigaw ni Shane habang hawak ang phone ni Franz.Nagsiksikan kaming lahat sa harap ng cottage. Marco stood beside me, casually placing his arm around my shoulder as the others started making silly faces.“One, two, three!”“Cheese!”Sunod-sunod ang kuha namin, from the usual peace signs to random candid shots. May ilan pang pictures na halos hindi na kami magkatinginan sa sobrang kakatawa.“Wait! Tingnan niyo nga ’to!” natatawang sabi ni Aaron habang tinitingnan ang mga kuha sa phone.“Ang pangit ko rito!” reklamo ni Franz.“Ikaw naman talaga ang p

    Alessa’s Point of ViewAfter just a minute of driving, nakarating na rin kami sa resort dito kami sa Mimbalot Falls Resort nag-setup ng cottage. The moment Marco parked the car, I scanned the surroundings. The cool breeze, the soothing sound of rushing water, and the lush green trees instantly made me feel at ease. Bababa na sana ako bitbit ang bag ko, pero mabilis na umikot si Marco para kuhanin 'yung gamit ko."Marco, ako na! Kaya ko naman," tanggi ko sabay hila nang kaunti sa strap ng backpack ko."Nako, Alessa, chill ka lang! Ako na rito," nakangiting giit niya, not letting go of the bag until I gave in. Napa-roll na lang ang eyes ko playfully. "Fine, thank you!"Paglakad namin papunta sa cottage, agad kaming napansin ng grupo."Woah! Dumating na ang stars of the day!" sigaw agad ni Franz habang nakataas pa ang baso."Alessa! Oh my gosh, girl! Long time no see!" tili naman ni Gail habang tumatakbo lapit sa akin para mag-hug.Agad akong pinalibutan nina Franz, Aaron, Shane, Gail,

    Alessa’s Point of ViewFor the past two days of my stay, wala akong ibang ginawa kundi matulog, kumain, at magpahinga. Matapos ang lahat ng trauma at suffocating experience ko sa Manila, pakiramdam ko ay unti-unting bumabalik ang lakas ng katawan ko rito sa probinsya.Bukod sa sarili kong pahinga, pinaglalaanan ko rin ng oras ang pag-alalay kay Mama sa kaniyang pang-araw-araw na ehersisyo. Dahil sa naranasan niyang stroke, kailangan niya ng regular na paglalakad-lakad para mag-improve ang mobility niya. Medyo nakakatayo na siya nang kusa ngayon, pero kailangan pa rin niya ng gabay at alalay para hindi ma-out of balance."Dahan-dahan lang, Ma. Isang hakbang pa," nakangiting pag-alalay ko habang hawak ang magkabila niyang kamay sa sala."K-Kaya ko na, Alessa... salamat anak," dahan-dahang sagot ni Mama, visibly trying her best."Ayan, napakahusay naman!" puri ni Tita Bing habang nagtutupis ng labada sa tabi.Nang matapos ang ehersisyo ni Mama at maipagpahinga na namin siya sa kaniyang k
