I was only a month old when my mother abandoned me. She never said why, she never said anything. So my dad just lived with it.

Luckily, my dad is a very good man. He never made me feel incomplete. I never felt sad. And that's all thanks to him. He showered me with love, that I never thought I was missing someone.

Hindi din naman nagtagal ang pagiging family of two namin, dahil dumating din agad si mommy sa buhay namin. Ang stepmon ko na walang ibang ginawa kung hindi alagaan at mahalin kami ng daddy ko.

Masaya ang naging pamilya namin, napunan ni mommy ang space sa puso ni dad na iniwan ng biological mother ko. Our family couldn't ask for more.

But my biological mother do. I was 5 when she suddenly showed up. And she said she only want one thing, makilala ako. Hindi siya hihingi ng kahit ano, basta magkaroon lang ng connection sa'kin. At dahil mabait nga si daddy, pumayag siya.

Every summer, kukunin niya ako sa bahay at dadalhin sa bahay nila. Nila ng bago niyang pamilya. She got married to a man with a son. Noong una hindi ako kumportable, lagi kong hinahanap ang daddy ko. Pero dahil may ka-age ako na kasama sa bahay, nasanay din ako sa kanila. Naging magaan din ang buhay ko, at dahil sa kaniya 'yun.

Kay Kiro.

Kiro became a brother to me. Lagi kaming magkasama. Kahit sa pagtulog hindi kami pwede maghiwalay. We became inseparable.

And I became happier than ever. Imagine as a happy kid, you have two happy families. Every day was a happy day for me. I couldn't ask for more.

But that happiness didn't last long, because when I turned 10, I suddenly lost my memories. They didn't know what happened. No one knows what happened. It was the most devastating event that happened to our family. It left our family in puzzle, because I was never in an accident.

But if it was tragic to me and my family, it was more to Kiro. Our mom and his dad suddenly disappeared. They disappeared without a trace. They left him all alone. I left him all alone. He was all alone.

Ever since then, we never met again.

That's the story, my dad always told me. That's the story everyone knew. That's the story that they will continue to tell.

But that's not the story I know. And I don't have a plan in telling the world the story from my point of view. And for that to happen, I have to LIE FOR THE MEMORIES.
