In a province of Manila. There is a prosperous and peaceful town. It is hidden and at the very end where the ocean galaxy can be seen. Where the beauty of the mountains can be seen.

Here I grew up and saw the gradual growth of Hacienda Montenegro. I am one of those who help make organic mats, backpacks, chairs made of solid wood from the mountains of our town.

I can say I am content with provincial life here. Abundant in living and natural resources. my grandparents raised me when my father and mother died in a forest fire. Because our house was in the middle of the forest it did not survive the relentless fire.

I was eleven years old when I was orphaned and adopted by my grandmother and grandfather and brought here to the plains from the mountains. They had no one with them, especially since their only child was Father. I help my grandfather harvest rice. I help make a backpack and a mat for grandma once in a while. that helped my studies because of the money raised from there.

Many of us are still leaving Manila. I don't know why they have to go out when this town is rich. Based on what I heard in my class. the buildings in Manila seem to be erected. There are many opportunities to work together, others I know went to college there.

I once had a curiosity about what Manila really is. What do they call a building with lots of light and lots of drinks?

I looked up at the lofty sun. I close my eyes to the excessive glare then. I bent down and wiped the sweat off my forehead. I grabbed the backpacks and went to the barn of my grandmother and others her age.

"I'm done, grandma." I am proud of my work again. they looked at me and smiled.

"Tessa, you're a nice girl, Kim, why don't you send her to Manila?" A friend of grandma's said. I put the bag and others on the table and listened to them. This is not new to me. I always hear praise.

"Yes, Tessa, she's big and young, doesn't she have a boyfriend yet? Alas, this girl is being taken care of. Look at that! Her nose is piercing. Her eyelashes are long! Her eyes are like dolls! Her body has no panama. toothpaste models !I immediately remembered my girlhood. "added another. I just smiled at what I heard.

Grandma shuddered and laughed. "You know, Kim is the only one with us so I'll take care of her. That's why I'm so desperate for her to go to collegeThe tuition is high now. You can't just be a high school graduate even if it's just our success when his grandfather. "

I rested deeply. Hopefully we can get together for the entrance. I want to give back all the help my grandparents gave me. I don’t want to disappoint them.

"Don't worry grandma! I'm going to take a part-time job so that I can add something to my school expenses."

"You're really smart Kim! I hope my daughter is like that but she's stubborn! That's why she's pregnant!"

The conversation continued as they worked on another project. despite producing organic things, her grandmother was also one of the land managers of Montenegro. He was the leader when he harvested and cared for the rice fields of the Montenegrins as well as Grandpa.

Entering our house made of nipa and wood. I saw grandpa listing and counting to be paid.

"Wow! How much money do we have grandpa ah!" I said this and stepped aside I saw my grandmother preparing a bag and a bracelet that we once made out of sea shells that I had picked up.

"For this in your college we will keep it the rest of the light and food we have."

I lost the smile on my face when I felt so much pity for the family I have now. We are not rich but we are rich in love. we don’t even have money but nothing equals our appreciation. I was very lucky with them.

"Thank you grandpa! Let me go! When I graduate from college, we will leave Manila! I will work there for a company in Montenegro and I will always take you around!"

"Well! Grandson !so it's just so hard! We're even stronger than the buffalo! "

Grandpa and grandma and I laughed together. "There ... we'll take that!" Grandma put the baggy backpack and bracelets on the table. "There will be a party later for our hacienderas and hacienderos of Senyora Patricia and Senyor Juanito. We will give that. They are still very sensible."

I once met a Montenegro couple at a gathering. every Christmas we were all invited to their mansion and we celebrated Christmas together. Montenegrins care about their people. I also heard that Senyor Juanito would give me a scholarship but that has not been confirmed. but I hope it's true that we will pay only for books and other expenses.

We no longer had dinner at home because that was where we would eat at the mansion. I feel like it's still the same as before. It was still behind their mansion where there was a lot of land and lots of flowers. I'm just thinking about your food, I'm already hungry.

I wore my old white dress. When I put it on ... I rested deeply. I pulled it down because a few years later it had shrunk to me. It's offshoulder and only up to my thigh ..

"Grandma !he doesn't fit anymore. "I said to my grandmother and she looked at me.

"My grandson's sexy is really mine! That's okay! Come on! I'll comb your hair!"

It combed my hair and left it loose and untidy. Its waves are more intense. I also wore sandals that were still tied. My grandfather gave it to me just a year ago so it still fits. Except for my sandal that fits me.

Just as I expected there was the truss truss again. the table was long with people sitting who were also Montenegrin people we also knew. The flower leaves glow because of the decorations. The people were already making noise and he was already talking about her. Just like before there is also a drink.

we immediately mingled with the group of grandma’s peers. Grandpa went to his friends at the other table.

"Oh! You brought Kim! You're really beautiful!" there I noticed that many people were looking at me, especially men, including Bryan. my lover that I can’t reciprocate what he says looking at me.

"Of course it's mine!" Grandma Tessa was proud of me.

Everyone was having fun when the truss truss started. I saw Senyora Patricia come out with her husband Senyor Juanito. the applause of all stands. The girls shuddered when they saw the couple's pregnant son.

Their two young children are very serious. Some came there as a family and socialized.

I only focus on the siblings that I only really see once, especially since they only come home once.

"There's Kim Aurora there first huh ?! I'll just give it to the lady!" Show the bag and bracelet in the bag at the same time.

"Yes lola!"

I distracted myself with food when I felt like urinating. I politely left our table and went to the bathroom here at the back of the mansion because you had been there once.

even though the night was cold but I felt hot so I combed my hair with my hairpin that was always in my hand even if it was loose when I pinched it I let it go.

I made a turn toward the bathroom when I heard a growl that seemed to hurt.

my eyes widened and my mouth closed. I was so nervous and out of nervousness I picked up the dustpan seen on the side and prepared myself. In the TV movies that I saw like this, the growl of a woman in pain is like this.

I was even more nervous when the woman almost cried and it seemed like afternoon. My tears are welling up, especially since there is no light on this side.

"Uhh! You like it?" I stopped when I heard the man's voice. Then the woman started shouting again.

when I reached the source of that voice I didn't hesitate to strike the man behind the woman? huh? woman in a maid uniform and on the chin .... the panty?

"H-Hala ..." I almost blushed when I realized what they were doing. It was too late but I closed my eyes. the more I get to know the man who it is ..

I turned around. With great nervousness my face heats up. I do not know why. First time I really see that. Hala!

I could not leave the stand when I heard his voice behind me.

"Who are you." asked the son of a Montenegrin couple.

I didn't bother to look at him. "Ah..one of the hacienderas." I stammered in response.

I heard his footsteps approaching.

"What are you doing here? Trying to peep a look?" his voice was sarcastic and I heard his strange accent in englis.

"I-I didn't really mean to. I'm going to the bathroom."

"Show me your face .." he commanded me as if he was very good at commanding. "Don't make me repeat myself little girl." he added that my chest was pounding so I immediately turned around but bowed.

"P-I'm sorry ..." I said but it didn't speak. I looked up and saw him looking at me seriously. I, on the other hand, seem to be mesmerized by its beauty. Your maid didn't even get upset earlier. Oops!

I felt even more guilty when I saw that his eyebrow was bloody. I think I was hit by a dustpan.

"Sorry .." I said immediately ..

My breath caught as it quickly approached me. I immediately backed away as I leaned against the cold wall.

This is the first time a man has approached me that you are so intimite. He especially put his hand over my head and touched my waist ..

I think I would lose my breath when his lips landed on my ear

"What's your name?" he whispered.

"K-Kim Aurora ..." I stammered.

It gave space at last. "You were a child when I last saw you."

I swallowed at what he said and nodded as well. the conversation was cut short when someone called this man.

"Stop fucking around Ezekiel. Mom's wants you." I bowed when I heard the voice of his older brother.

Ezekiel closed his eyes tightly and cursed.

"Damn Manuel! The kj!"

"Leave the girl Ezekiel." Manuel added that seemed threatening.
