Mama without knowing that her father was a Mexican gun smuggler, a man who built his own Mafia organization from scratch.

Worried na sagot ko. “Do you believe that? Filipinos are very family-oriented and loving. That is why they are saying that. I already told you, don’t listen to the people around you. Listen to your self… there’s a lot a women who can produce a child even they are in their forties.

Pero, nasa atin naman siguro kung paano maging masaya.

“Non-negotiable in so far as I am concerned, I get it.

Sinubukan ko pero ang tanging nakikita ko ay isang lalaki na umiibig, nasasabik sa wakas na ipakilala ang babaeng mahal niya sa kanyang mga kaibigan. Mayroon lamang ilang beses na ganoon siya kasaya, marahil ay hindi na kailanman naging kasing saya niyan kung isasaalang-alang ang nangyayari sa kanilang bahay noong panahong iyon… dapat alam mo ang bahaging ito.”

May isang araw na naisama namin si Hans sa trip namin at siya ang nagbantay kay Bailey dahil sobrang clingy ng isa, which is Dominic. We also had the chance to visit their Hotel at doon kumain ng lunch dahil mayroon din silang Filipino dish at namiss ko iyon! Kare-kare ang kinain namin at marami pa!

“From now on, you will be Anastasia and I will be your husband Joe. We are from the Philippines but you are not allowed to talk to anyone anything about who we are and what we are doing when we were in the Philippines.” Maraming tanong agad ang tumakbo sa isip ko matapos ang sinabi niyang ‘yon.
