  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;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 noise outside made me awake.
      &quot;Friend ---- Friend, wake up! It looks like someone is fighting.&quot; I shook Akhi who was on the couch.
      &quot;What is wrong?&quot; He growled and slowly opened his eyes.
      &quot;It is Mommy's voice!&quot; He also woke up.
      He immediately got up and left the room. I was next to him. To our surprise, when we came out, Apollo was accompanied by a woman. I touched my chest that suddenly tightened.
      &quot;Apollo, get that woman out of our house!&quot; Aunt Corina shouted in obvious anger.
      &quot;Pots, what is this? Why did you bring a woman here again?&quot; Akhi asked him.
      Apollo hugged the woman even more who obviously wanted to leave because of Aunt Corina's rage. Coincidentally, Uncle Art is not here tonight.
      &quot;I am just enjoying my life!&quot; Apollo was drunk.
      I want to be fascinated by the sc
