Hella's POV

Nakarating ako sa isang kilalang Filipino restaurant na pagmamay-ari ng kuya ni El. She's one of my best friends from the Philippines according to my brothers. I met them three years ago; El is a lawyer with Ken her CEO husband, Freya and according to kuya she's my model and fashion designer friend, Alexandra or Xandra, an airline owner and pilot and Blanche, our actress turned doctor friend with her fiance Steven who's a director. Also, my brothers mentioned someone from my best who was with me through thick and thin aside from my girls. Hindi naman nila nabanggit kung sino.

Nang ma meet ko sila ulit, kahit hindi ko pa man sila maalala, I felt at peace with them. I feel safe when we're together and of course I am carefree. Kaya hindi naging mahirap sa akin ang maniwala sa kanila. Sabi nga ni Blanche, the heart remembers what the mind forgets.

Minsan naman may bigla akong napapanaginipan at naaalala but they're vague. At pag sinusubukan ko namang piliting maka alala sumasakit naman ang ulo ko. So, I guess I just need to wait.

Pagkatapos kong ma park ang sasakyan ko agad na akong pumasok sa loob ng restaurant. Nakita ko naman agad ang pamilya ko sa loob. Bitbit bitbit ko ang dalawang paperbags for the reason that I chose to live from the very beginning.

"Grandpa, where's mom? Did she texted you already?" I heard my son's voice. Kahit kailan talaga tong batang to.

"Can't you just wait? You're actually getting on my nerves." Angal naman ng little angel ko, pero, minsan pumapasok sa isip ko kung tama bang little angel ang tawag ko sa kanya.

"Hey! I'm still your older brother!" Angal naman ng isa.

"Yeah by one minute! Stop rubbing it to my face! Isa pa, sabi nila tinulak lang kita papalabas. You should thank me!" She replied.

I smiled. One thing is for sure, their nicknames suits them.

"Chaos, Storm. Nag aaaway na naman kayo." Angal ko bago pa mapunta na naman kung saan ang usapan ng dalawang to.

"Mom!" Sabay nilang saad at agad na bumaba sa upuan nila at nag unahang yumakap sa akin.

"I hugged mom first!" Chaos said. Kita ko naman kung paano napairap si Storm sa sinabi niya.

"My princess, you look good. You look like your-"

"I know dad. I look like mom." Dad complimented. Memorize ko na lahat ng sinasabi nila. I always get that from the elders and the counsil. They always tell me na kamukha ko ang mom namin. My dad laughed.

"Let's go." He escorted us to the table. I held my babies hands and walked towards the table. My brothers are all smiling at me.

"It's great to see you, sis." Kuya Matthew said.

"Sorry. But it's not great to see you kuya." I smirked.

"Damn! Old habits die hard bro. Nalimutan niya ang nakaraan niya pero yan ang hindi nawala sa kanya." Kuya Sebastian mocked.

Tumayo naman sila and hugged me.

"We missed you. Kahit ganyan ka pa sa amin you know we still love you right?" Kuya Matthew said. I can't help but smile. They are just the sweetest. Lagi ko silang binibiro ng ganyan but never once did they make me feel na nainis sila sa akin. They've been missing me a lot lately dahil na rin sa busy sila sa kanya kanya nilang buhay. Kung umuuwi naman sila na'sa trabaho naman ako kaya hindi kami nagpapang abot.
