  &quot;Zaffi, Yvonne and Akhi are waiting for you. &quot;Mommy shouted from below but because of the loudness of her voice, I could hear it.
      &quot;Coming!&quot; I also shout in response.
      And I run down the stairs.
      &quot;Careful!&quot; Mommy's scolding.
      &quot;You moved too slowly. We have waited a long time.&quot; Yvonne joked when I got down.
      &quot;I am sorry!&quot; When I gasped to get down.
      &quot;Enjoy your escapade!&quot; Mommy and kissed me.
      &quot;Yes, Mom. Daddy and you will be home alone again.&quot; I am teasing my mom.
      &quot;Go ahead! Stop joking.&quot; Mommy says laughing.
      We got in Akhi's car. We are going to San Antonio. With a galore of attractions and top-shelf festivals staged througout the year. We are going at Alamo City. We will relax for a while.
      &quot;Cheers!&quot; Akhi and Yvonne said at the same time.
     

  The next day ....
      &quot;Let us eat at Las Canarias resto. We cannot miss their food.&quot; Akhi when he noticed it is almost lunch time.
      &quot;Sure!&quot; Yvonne and I answered at the same time.
      Las Canarias is an award-winning restaurant serving the best cuisines.
      I have proven it now. The best really! Super delicious foods.
      &quot;I am super full.&quot; Yvonne even caressed her tummy.
      &quot;You are always full.&quot; Akhi jokes with her because Yvonne is chubby.
      &quot;In all fairness, their foods are really super delicious! Can we just have lunch here everyday?&quot; I compliment the cuisine I tasted.
      After lunch we went back to the hotel for a spa. For some pampering.
      &quot;Let us go back to our room. I will get my coat. It is cold.&quot; Akhi as we walk into the hotel.
      Yvonne and I followed him.
      &quot;You look pasty, 

  In America....
      &quot;There is something you should tell me. You did not go out of your room all day.&quot; When Mommy visited me in my room.
      &quot;Just tired of the trip, Mom!&quot; I am lying.
      &quot;Your eyes are puffy. What happened in the Philippines?&quot; She asked again.
      I suddenly hugged him and started crying again. The tears I thought were dry, here they are again and they are flowing. I confessed my mom everything! Everything! From my reunion with Apollo to our bitter separation.
      &quot;Stop it, Zaffi! Mommy is here. As always, you will get over it. We will help you. &quot;As she stroked my back.
      &quot;I don't know if I can move on. That is my very dream. To be with Apollo again. To feel that he loves me too. Who am I to hurt him that way? &quot;If I could just beat myself up so I could sleep for a long time, I would.
      &quot;I know how

      &quot;Yeah! I will just
