But then Leba remembers as she say "Oh, wait I remember now. Just hang in there, I'll be back in a quick as I can!" He ran in a quick speed, for a minute that they waited until Leba came back with the photo that he stumble before the party began.
"These people are unfamiliar to me, but I realize these two." Leba explained as he gave the photo to his mother and her siblings; which they look at the photo and where Leba pointed at.
"Oh my, it's ma and our pa!" Julieta gasp as Pepa and Bruno recognize them, Alma smiles as she looks at the photo. "Oh, this photo was taken on the day before you three were born." Margarita smile "Alma and Pedro were proud that they are going to be parents to the three of you." The triple felt heartwarming, but then Margarita's smile fade as she said. "But before we get a chance to meet you. Everything changes, since....." They realizes what they meant,
Margarita and her friends thought of the sound of screaming, flames burning and rumbling,
