“Goodmorning, Tita Kendra,” nakangiti kong bati sa kan'ya habang hinahanda niya ang mga pagkain sa lamesa.

“Goodmorning din, Angel,” nakangiti niyang tugon. I can't help to smile wider after hearing that endearment.

“Tita? Why do you keep calling me that? He's not here naman,” Tita Kendra smiled at me.

“Because you're really Angel especially when you're smiling. Let's eat, it's your first day in your school.”

“Aye aye! I'm so excited, Tita Ken,” she just smiled at me.

Sinimulan na naming kumain. Tita Kendra is my guardian since my Papa died. She took care of me and give her all attention and love to me. I am home-schooled since I was 5 years old. But Tita Kendra decided to enrolled me in a prestigious university few days ago. Well, sinabi niya sakin na I need to experience that.

“Tita Ken, I'll go now,” she hugged me tightly.

“Please take care of yourself, Angel. Tita Kendra is not there, I'll just visit you there. I love you, our Angel,” I hugged her back.

Vinger University or VU is a dormitory university. So, I'll live there until I graduate. Twice a month lang daw kami pwedeng lumabas ng University para umuwi. I will really miss Tita Kendra, this is ths first time na malalayo ako sa kanya. Tita Kendra is a mom for me. She treat me like her own child, love her own. Well, I never had a chance to meet my real mother but according to Tita Kendra, my mama loves me so much. She chose me than herself. Even I don't know what kind of mother she is. I know, she's kind of mother who's willing to sacrifice herself for her child. I love my mama and I know she loves me.

“I'll take care of myself, Tita Kendra. I promise. Thank you for everything, Tita Ken. I know it's hard for the both of us this knowing my condition but I'll promise that I'll take care of myself there,” she kissed my forehead at kumalas sa pagkakayakap.

Sumakay na ako sa van at kumaway bago sinarado ang pinto. I saw her wiping her tears but she just smiled at me. She'll be okay.

“Kuya Carlo? Pwede po bang gisingin niyo nalang po ako kapag nakarating na po tayo doon?”

“Sige, Angel. Matulog ka muna at malayo pa naman ang biyahe.” Tumango ako at nagpasalamat. Humiga ako at pinikit ang mga mata ko.

“Mama? Mama ko,” tawag ko sa nakikita kong babaeng nakatalikod saakin.

Humarap sa akin 'yong babae at nakita kong ngumiti siya saakin.

“Ako nga ito, Kyph. Halika, lumapit ka kay mama.” Naglakad ako papalapit kay mama at niyakap siya ng mahigpit.

“Kamusta ka naman?” Hinahaplos ni mama ang buhok ko habang nakayakap ako sa kanya.

“Okay lang po ako. Sinusunod ko po yung bilin mo at hindi din po ako nagpapasaway kay Tita Kendra,”

“Mahal na mahal ka ni mama, Kyph,” naramdaman ko ang mahigpit na yakap ni mama sa akin.
