Pagkalabas ko ng banyo dahil kaka-galing ko lang ulit sa pag-iyak, nakita ko si Wacky na may kagat-kagat na maliit na box.


In the fear of him breaking the box, I took it, at pagkabukas ko no'n, nakita ko roon ang phone na palaging ginagamit ni lola pan-text sa'min ni mama para lang malaman kung nasaan kami at kung kumain na kami.


Pero ang hindi ko inasahan, sa loob ng phone box ni lola, may nakita akong papel, at alam ko agad na sulat niya iyon dahil sa ganda ng panunulat doon sa papel.


No matter what... her handwriting never changed. It was beautiful... like my lola's heart.


Simula pa lang noong bata ka pa... alam ko nang durog ang puso mo dahil hindi mo manlang nalaman kung sino ang totoong nanay at tatay mo.


Pasensiya ka na kung naramdaman mong hindi ka parte ng pamilya. Pasensiya ka na kung kahit ang pansamantala mong tatay ay iniwan ka.


I never even got the chance to say thank you to my lola... and even to Martin.


It just shows how ungrateful I was to the people who are always there to support me, and to stay by my side.


It just shows that no matter how much I valued them, it looked like I didn't care at all.


I will never be okay.


Maybe someday... I can return the favor.


Nandito naman ako para sa'yo.


I hope you don't push away the people who did nothing else and want nothing else but to love you and stay by your side.


Hayaan mong mahalin ka namin dahil totoong ka-mahal mahal ka, Alice.


In the end, I was left alone, just like how my biological parents abandoned me. That's how the waves in my life destroyed me.


It caused me wounds I couldn't stop mourning my whole life. I didn't manage to ride along those waves... that's the reason why I drowned.
