"You never know what to expect and not to, cause some things that happen is really unexpected".

Hi I'm Jhoana Maraguinot a senior high school student in a university...
I have a half sister, a sister to my father side, Beatrice De Leon....
My mother die last month because of a car accident.. And because I'm still a student I can't just survive to work for my self just to live. So my father decided that I will be staying in his house together with him and his family.. And today is the day that I'm going to transfer there.. And to be honest this will be the first time na makikita ko ang family ni dad...Siya lang kasi ang palagi kong nakikita.. I remember that he always tells me stories and how sweet and caring Beatrice is.. Thats why I know a lot about my half sister. And nasasabik na akung makita siya.. Base kasi sa mga kinikuwento ni Dad sa akin my sister is some how an interesting person.

~BEEP..BEEP.. ~ (it's the beep of a car horn)
Ay! Nangdito na pala sundo ko...
Hoh.. Kinakabahan na ako.. Baka di ako tanggap ng family ni Dad...

Fast Forward

I'm now at the front of their door. Actually kanina pa ako nakatayo dito,nangangalay na nga ako eh. 😭😭
Nagdadalawang isip pa kasi ako if I will press the doorbell or not.Bakit ba kasi ako iniwan ni manong driver kaagad. Nagmumukha tuloy akong timang dito. Hahay.... 😔😔 no choice na ako nito.

~..Dingdong.. Dingdong.. ~(doorbell sounds) Yes!! finally i did it... 👏👏
An old women open the door and welcome me in.. Katulong yata to dito. Kasi she called someone "ma'am" and I guess she's referring sa asawa ni Dad, now my step Mom.

"Ma'am nangdito na po si Jho!.. ". The woman say. At, wow! seems like they really know me..
"Oh.. Hi dear!! Finally I meet you in person .. Your Dad has been talking a lot of things about you...". A 30th-40th year old women come out from the kitchen wearing her apron say to me.
"Ahh.. Hi po ma'am....".
"Tita, you can call me tita.". She cut me of.
"Ahh..tita nasan po pala
si Dad?.. Akala ko po kasi siya ang susundo sa akin. ". I asked her.. Nakakailang naman to..😟😔
"Sinundo niya si Beatrice sa bahay ng Lola n'yo, doon kasi siya natutulog pag week ends. ". She answered.. "And anyway Jho feel at home kalang ha. Wag kang mahiya bahay mo na rin to simula ngayon. Your a part of the family naman. ". She added.. I just smile at her and say thanks for welcoming me and treating me as a part of there family. Then she go to the kitchen....Subrang bait naman pala ni tita. Pero bakit kaya di pa niya pinapaakyat itong mga gamit ko. Ang weird din kasi di man lang ako pinaupo.. Huhuhu.😭😭😭
. I was about to set in the coach when tita called me.
"Jho.. ". Ay wrong timing... Naman si tita...
"Yes! Tita... ". I answered... And went to the kitchen... "Bakit po tita? ". I asked.
"Hali ka dito tulungan mo nalang ako dito sa pagbebake.. I know magaling ka magbake... Your Dad once tell me about it... ". Wow! Ang sarap naman tingnan ng binake ni tita... "Ahh.. Sige po tita. " I said and went to her side. "Ano po ba gagawin ko? ". I asked para naman kasing wala na akong gagawin.."Ahh.. Kunin mo nalang yung nasa oven tapos isunod mo yang mga yan.. ". Tita said. Sabay turo sa bbaken pa. "Okay po tita.. " Tapos kinuha ko na yung nasa oven at pinalitan na.

Habang masaya kaming nagbbake at nagkukuwentuhan ni tita. Biglang tumunog yung doorbell. Maybe sila na ni Dad yun. Binuksan naman ni manang yung pintuan at pumasok si Dad... Akala ko ba sinundo niya si Beatrice bakit parang wala naman siyang kasama.. Excited pa naman akong makita yong sister ko. Never ko pa kasi yun nakikita in person. Hindi ko nga alam ano itsura non eh. Natigilan ako sa pag-iisip ng kung ano-anu when tita talks. " Oh..Where is Beatrice ba't di mo kasama? ". Tita asked my Dad. "She's still outside calling someone in her phone. ".Dad answered.
