EPILOGUE

Thena's POV

"Hi!" Bati ko sa isang batang lalaking mag-isang nakaupo sa swing. I guess he's a few years older than me. "What's your name?" I can feel in my tone that I was being friendly but he doesn't seem interested to talk to me. "Are you okay?"

"Get out of my sight!" Masungit niyang turan. Napaka-straightforward niya.

I instantly feel sad. "But I'm just being friendly. I want to be friends with you."

"Go, befriend someone else! I don't like you!" He harshly said.

I pouted and tears coming out from my eyes. "Okay, sorry for bothering you." I sniffed before turning my back on him.

Ang sungit! Gusto ko lang naman siyang maging kaibigan. "Thena! Kanina ka pa hinahanap ng mommy mo!" My Yaya held my tiny hand. "What's wrong? Bakit sad ang bebegurl namin?" Yaya asked.

I immediately hid my sad face and changed it with a smile. "Nothing. Kanina lang ako sad, ngayon hindi na." Sabay kaming pumasok ni Yaya sa bahay namin.

Actually, nagbabakasyon lang kami dito ni mommy sa Pilipinas. Taga Australia talaga kami. My twin sister and daddy did not came with us because dad is busy with his business there and Amber, my twin doesn't want to leave our dad kaya kami lang dalawa ni mommy.

We have a house here and kumuha lang si mom ng tagapangalaga and it's Yaya's family. I am fluent in Tagalog too kasi yun naman ang lengguwahe namin minsan sa Australia and mom taught us how to speak it.

"Anak, where have you been? Let's eat na."

"Mom, am I a bad girl?"

"No, don't say that, baby. You're not a bad girl. Why do you ask anyway?"

I sighed. Thinking about that boy earlier. I wonder why he doesn't want to be friends with me. "Wala po hehe.." I ate my lunch and played games after.

Kinabukasan, dahil wala akong magawa, napagpasyahan kong maglakad-lakad around the village. Tight naman ang security kaya no need to worry about. Nagpaalam ako kay mommy and she said yes naman kaya lumabas akong bahay. Bitbit ang snacks na nasa plastic cellophane na kinuha ko kanina sa refrigerator.

"Hi, ganda!" Bati ng isang batang kapitbahay namin kaya kinawayan ko siya at binati pabalik.

Nang makalagpas ay ngingiti akong nagpatuloy sa paglalakad hanggang sa harangan ako ng limang mga batang babae na kaedad ko lang. "Well, well, well, look who's here?" Nakataas pa ang kilay ni Maira habang nakakibit-balikay at diretso ang tingin sakin. Isa din sila sa mga kapitbahay namin dito.
