"That's My Girl"

World Changed By Him



 "I got money now.
 I can buy Grannie that chocolate bar." I smiled at the thought.
 Then I skipped back at the convenient store to buy the chocobar.

 I bought 2 of it and happily headed home.

 Our house is just big enough for us three.
 Living with me is my grandpa and Gongchan.
 I love them very much.
 Gongchan's younger by a year.
 Grannie had been my mom and dad ever since he found me at 'Home for lost Angels' orphanage.

 "Grannie I'm home!"
 "Apo(grandson/granddaughter)!" he greeted back.
 "Here. I bought you chocolates." I handed him the chocobars.
 He happily opened it and took a bite.
 "hmmm. Taste good.
 Where's yours?" he asked.
 "ah. I already ate it."
 I lied.
 Seeing my grannie look satisfied, makes me full and relieves my stress.
 "What do you want to eat gran?
 Do you want fried chicken or pork?" I showed him the foods I bought.
 "Oh? Where did you get those?
 It isn't your salary day yet.
 Hara! Did you-" he was suspecting.
 "Eh. Grannie.
 I didn't stole this.
 I'm a good apo so I always obey my lolo (grandpa).
 I just saw a guy drop his wallet.
 And as you always say, give back things to the owner.
 And so I gave it back to him.
 Then he gave me php5,000 as a thank you gift." I explained.
 He was eating while listening to me.
 "That's my girl." he ruffled my hair.
 I smiled at him.

 Grannie had always been a great 'lolo' for me.
 He has full Filipino blood and he married my lola (grandma) who was a Korean.
 Lola already passed away, while umma and appa have families of their own, separately.
 Grandpa and Gongchan are the only relative I have 'cause our other relatives lives in Pampanga,Philippines.
 We have an older sister, but I don't know where she is now.
 Gongchan is working too. He's a service crew. He often come home late at night.
 And yeah, speaking of Pampanga, this place is known for the best foods made by the 'Kapampangan'  [A/N: called for citizens living in Pampanga].
 Back then, when we still have money and when we still are a happy family, Umma and Grannie used to cook Kapampangan dishes and 'sisig' was one of our favorites.
 We were happy back then.
 And I miss those times.
 I miss my parents, and mostly, I miss my ate (unnie/noona).
 I wonder where she is now.
 I hope she's fine.
