"Okay, you guys ready?" tanong ng isang lalaki na may hawak ng camera sa grupo na nasa tapat ngayon ng carousel

"Wait, Evan you're blocking me. Will you please move your ugly head?"

"Duh, what's there to show anyway It's better to block your face with mine since I'm a better view."

"Will you two just shut up at mag-ayos nalang? It's just one damn picture and we're taking forver in taking it."

"Or will you stop cursing miss, it's irritating."

"The hell you care, Lozano."

"Kids, please, just pose and we're done."

"I agree but we're not kids so drop it."

"Whatever."

"Parang mga kindergarten ampota"

"Hoy narinig ko 'yon ah."

"So? Pinarinig ko talaga."

"Pwede po bang tawagin niyo nalang ako pag ready na kayo? Ang dami pa kasing naghihintay na kuhanan ko." The guy interrupted.

"No, no, we're ready na po. You can take it na."

"Okay, then smile for me in 3, 2, 1!"

"Anak?" Ibinalik ko ang frame sa loob ng cabinet at pinunasan ang mukha para maalis ang bakas ng luha

"Ma?" Pumasok ito sa kwarto at tumabi sakin sa pag-upo sa gilid ng kama.

"You sure you don't want to say goodbye to them?" Umiling ako at tumayo na

"Goodbye is when you don't plan on coming back again. I will, ma. Babalik ako. Babalikan ko sila. Aayusin ko lang po ang sarili ko ngayon, para bukas 'kami' naman ang maayos ko." Tumayo narin si mama at niyakap ako.

Please wait for me

I hopefully prayed. Even though I myself am not sure if they will even wait for me. Or if they still even care.
