Praying to the gods she will accept you wholeheartedly.

“Gla….Glaiza, kan..…..kanina ka pa ba dyan ihja?!”  Utal utal na tugon nito, di mawari nang bagong heneral ang gagawin.

“Tu….tuloy ka anak kumusta?”  Agad na salubong nang bagong heneral sa ina anak nito.

“Magandang tanghali po titonong.”  Magalang na pag bati nito, sabay mano  at pagyakap sa kinilalang pangalawang ama.

Napansin naman nang batang doctor ang balisang kinikilos nito, di mawari nang dalaga kung bakit ganoon nalang ang pag ka gulat nito kanina nang makita sya sa pintuan nang opisina ng kasalukuyang heneral.

Alam naman kasi nang titonong nya na may usapan silang sabay mananghalian ngayon.

“Maganda kapa sa tanghali ihja.”  Totoong balik sagot nito na malawak ang pagka ngiti nang masilayan ang inaanak sabay ganting yakap at halik nito sa noo.

Parang nawala sandali ang pamgamba nang bagong heneral ng masilayan nya ang magandang ngiting pag bati nito sa kanya.

Same as the old days, when the four years old Glaiza visited them in their mansion for the first time with her family, that eventually grown into a habit. 

And when the de Castro do visit every now and then…………..….the young de Castro would always greeted him with a big hug and a wide smile that always stay in her young innocent adorable face before...............and until now.

Nothing changes.

Naka limutan nyang may usapan pala sila na sabay mananghalian dito.

It came out from the mind of Chief General Ramos, as soon his only daughter came to visit him early that morning.

“Come hija sit down, what a pleasure seeing you again anak………I really forgot that we had a plan to day.”  Pag yaya nito sa inaanak na umupo at paumanhing turing din dito.

“Thank you titonong, by the way titonong………are you okay?  You seem surprised when you see me earlier and you look bland, what happened titonong?”  Worried is evident in the young doctor’s face when she notice her god father’s behavior formerly.

“It was nothing ihja, I was just surprised and overawed with your presence, nothing to worry about me.”  Pag papalubag loob nito.

“By the way ihja, kanina kapa ba sa pintuan?”  Paniniguradong tanong nang ginoo…..na may pag aalala sa kanyang mukha.

Scared that she may heard the conversation they have with her daughter………..his not ready to reveal it yet…….not yet.

“Kararating ko lang po titonong, when you saw me standing in front of your door, I was about to knock, since the door was a bit ajar but then, bigla po kayong lumabas na parang may hinahabol.”  Sagot naman nang batang doctor na may pagtataka sa bagong heneral.

“Bakit nyo po na tanong titonong?”  Curiosity strike the young surgeon……she knows that there is something wrong……she’s a psychiatrist and she knows this type of behavior.
