[Sydney Paralejo's POV]
I walked back as fast as I can papuntang bahay. Kahit na inaya ako ni Cairo na sumabay sa kanila, I can't seem to think of anything else other than my Mom. Right now, I want to see her, I want to hug her, I want to be in her arms. Kaya agad akong umiling sa kanyang alok at tumalikod para maglakad bago ko pa ma marinig ang sumunod niyang mga salita.
I can see people looking at me weirdly because they might've seen what happened earlier on the road but I need to go home to my Mom because she's probably worried about me right now. I can feel my legs trembling sa kada hakbang ko ngunit kailangan kong makaabot ng bahay bago pa man bibigay and mga paa ko. The wind was violent against my face habang tinatakbo ko ang daan patungo sa aming bahay.
When I arrived home, Mom
