I was just a kid when my parents got divorced  at the beginning it affected me a lot  

Bata pa lang ako noong naghiwalay ang mga magulang ko sa simula ay sobrang apektado ako

I was sad all day every day I missed my father  so much but then then I understood why my  

buong araw araw-araw kong nami-miss ang tatay ko but then I understand why my

mom had decided to get divorced my parents  used to fight a lot when they were together  

mom had decided to hiwalayan ang mga magulang ko madalas mag-away kapag magkasama sila

and all I remember was them fighting every day my  mom used to be angry all the time and sometimes  

at ang natatandaan ko lang ay araw-araw silang nag-aaway ang mama ko laging galit at minsan

she cried at nights I couldn't understand  why back then but now I get it they didn't  

umiiyak siya sa gabi hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit noon pero ngayon naiintindihan ko na. hindi na sila

get along anymore I suppose they didn't love  each other anymore so after they got divorced  

magkasundo I suppose hindi na nila mahal ang isa't isa kaya after nilang mag hiwalay

I greeted the man and then I went to the  school I liked my mom was happy again

at least for a moment she told us he was just her  friend and we were fine with that we believed her  

kahit saglit lang sinabi niya. sa amin kaibigan niya lang siya at ayos lang kami na naniwala kami sa kanya

he went to see her more than one time the days  passed and he kept going to my mother's store  

nagpunta siya sa kanya higit sa isang beses lumipas ang mga araw at pumunta siya sa tindahan ng nanay ko

they had lunch together and they went to  the church together I thought he was only  

sabay silang nagtanghalian at sabay silang pumunta sa simbahan akala ko siya na. best friend lang

she told us he was her boyfriend and  that she felt very happy with him  

sinabi niya sa amin na siya ang kanyang kasintahan at na nakaramdam siya ng labis na kasiyahan sa kanya

she tried to explain that she had felt alone and  that his friend had been always there for her
