4th of Part 1

the other people. 


Nene. Not so much. She just threatens to leave us (She's been practically our taga-alaga alongside Nanay). She would padlock the house so that we would sleep during the afternoons. And as if it weren't enough, she would chain the bike as well. The bike---the main reason why we want to go out. It had been so for almost 4 years.

Nene: "Baya-an ta kamo da karon." [emphasis on baya-an.]

[note: my Tita Nene. Most of us , her siblings, nephews and nieces, call her that way. Nene which might either mean a little girl/boy had been her nickname ever since; up until now that she's on her mid 60's.]
