Not While I'm Around

Simula

"Ma'am pinapababa na po kayo para kumain"

"I just want to fix this first."

I miss this province, we live here back five years ago and we migrated because of my dad's business. Since it was summer I convinced Mom and Dad to visit this place. So exciting if I spent my whole vacation with Lola and tito Atom.

"Ma'am baka magalit po si Sir"

Matagal akong wala dito kaya pati kasambahay ng mansyon pormal kung makitungo. Lola used to fired them wherever they surpassed the five mistakes rule.

" I can handle him Manang don't worry. "

" You never learned. How come kuya let you eat late?"

I stand immediately and hug tito. Malaki man ang pagbabago niya physically, ngunit hindi ang pagiging strikto nito pagdating sa pagkain.

" Don't think to much, by the way where's Lola?"

"Go down and we eat together "

I can't help it but to rolled my eyes. I then now wonder how was my vacation here if he's always like that.

Paulit-ulit kong pinasadahan ng tingin ang bawat sulok nitong mansyon, it has been renovated last year and everything was neatly furnished.

"I missed you so much apo, malaki na ang pinagbago mo, and can't believe your dad let you go alone."

"Kaya ko namang mag isa lola tsaka hindi narin kailangan ng body guard."

She aged alot, sinipat niya pa ako mula ulo hanggang paa bago umupo sa sariling upuan.

" After this I need to run some papers, katya you can tour arround the mansion but don't go outside without my permission..."

"Why don't you take a break??"I suggested

" No more break unless the profits are stable"

Such a workaholic man...He seems fine and don't look running dry even if he work every day....

Sabi nila kung saan ka daw ipinanganak hahanap-hanapin mo ang lugar na iyon. This province reminded me my childhood days. There are many changes happened, maging ang dating bakanteng mga lupa ay tinayuan na ng ibat ibang negosyo.
I had so many plans for my two months here at nakakatawang isipin na ilang beses ko pang kinombinsi si dad para lang dito ako magbakasyon..

Mula sa ikatlong palapag ng mansyon tanaw ang laki ng Prosperidad, this province hold a place in my heart, kahit sa Manila mi-minsan kong inisip na kamusta na ang probinsyang ito...

"I love you Prosperidad!!"

Feeling amused as I take some shots.... Kung ikukumpara ang probinsya at syudad, mas gusto kong dito nalang tumira. Pero sa hula koy imposibling mangyari yon..

kahit saan man ako lumingon ngayon gustong gusto ko kung gaano kaberde ang mga puno, for now this is the best place to unwind, at kung yayain man ako nila kuyang mag out of town ay hindi ako papayag....

The sudden noise of my phone diverted my attention..
Nang makitang si tito ang tumawag ay daglian ko itong sinagot....

" Come here" a serious tone came out the line
