The heartbeat of my heart was raising as it will never stop pounding. I immediately hid the paper in the pocket of my bag when I arrived at our house. I paid the man who's driving a while ago and thanked him for taking me to my house. When I enter my house, I see from the distance grandma preparing food for me. I grabbed my grandma's hand and putting it on my forehead out of respect. The same I do when I see grandpa from the outside. I went into my room first to change my clothes and hang my bag behind the door.

while I was changing clothes, I also couldn't forget what was written on the paper hidden in the pocket of my bag. It was as if my mind was taking me to the scene of the incident of my parents ’death. I ignored it again and I thought that maybe I was just hungry. I went out of the room again, I saw my grandparents teasing so I looked at them from here outside my room. They are so beautiful to look at even though this is how we live. Their relationship became stronger even as they got older. I can't ask for anything else as long as they live longer.

They are my only family and I don't know if I have any blood relatives here in the province. I had been out of my room for a long time so I didn't notice my grandmother calling me. "Hendrix, son why are you staring there for a few minutes?". "Nothing grandma, I just want to watch the two of you." "Aww, our son wants to tease too." My grandparents looked at each other and ran closer to me. My eyes widened as they tickled my armpit.

"Grandpa/ma, haha- stop- haha". "Oh my god, that was a tiring thing I'd do". Grandma said that while she was wiping her sweat. When they finish tickling me, we across to the dinner table, and I sat beside grandpa's chair.

While we're eating dinner, Grandma and Grandpa look at each other. "Hendrick, son" Grandpa called me in his worried voice. I know what they're thinking, they think about their presents for my birthday. "Grandpa-Grandma, you don't have to worry about your presents for me. It's okay, I know we don't have much money but all I want on my birthday is to visit my papa and mama's grave."

That's what I've said to them. "I know you don't ask anything you want from us but there are valuable things that your mama and papas' give to us and to give it to you as well". Grandpa said that to me. Mama and Papa have valuable things that want to give to me?

Grandma handed me a long box, heavy when I took it from her. "Hendrick, son? what did you feel?". When I opened it, I was confused maybe I didn’t know how I would feel. will I be happy because they gave me something important? or will be curious because of what they give?. "I-I don't know grandma, it feels strange for me. Why do they need to give me this?" I look at them when I said those words.

"Do you remember when we told the story about the death of your parents?". "Y-yes, Granpa, why?". I feel like I've been feeling the same way lately. I know my parents were killed by creatures I have never seen before but I don’t know why they killed them.

"Sitan, God of the Lower World". Grandpa said that with his peevish voice. "Your father agrees with Sitan to be his disciple. Your father did not agree first but suddenly weak for his offer-which is- to have a wealthy living." I can't react to what my grandpa said. I know he won't want to bring up the past but he needs it so that I know what happened before.

"At first, he doesn't give your father hard task but as it lasts is getting worse. He tried to leave Sitan's company but he couldn't leave it because your mother was already pregnant with you. A few days later he tried to seek help from Apolaki son of Bathala. He said he was a member of Sitan's group then and he wanted to leave then."

Grandpa was so disappointed in his son-in-law, my father. I know papa didn't want to be Sitan's disciple too, but the temptation of Sitan blind him so he agree with no hesitation. "I still believe that papa has a reason why he agrees to be Sitan's disciple but I also know that it was wrong to agree with that". I said that to Grandpa because I know he can't control his feelings for what my father do before.

My grandma was calming grandpa for what his reaction while saying those words to me. "For now, let's stop this story. okay. It's Saturday tomorrow and it's Hendrix's birthday" Grandma said that to Grandpa "Hendrix, do you want to go to the park after we visit your parents' grave?" She asks me before I'll go to my room. "Yes, Grandma. I'd love to, can I buy ice cream too?". "Sure, honey. for now, go to your room and sleep. I'll just clean all of these things and we will be going to sleep too. Good night Hendrix" She kissed my forehead, the same doing of grandpa. "Good night- Grandpa and Grandma".

I went to my room and lay on my bed. After grandpa told me those words, I remember what they give me earlier. I sat down again and took to the side of my bed what my grandmother had given me earlier, I opened it again and I was just staring inside the box when I saw a piece of paper besides one thing in the box.
