After lunch, Arnie sleep upstairs, they are not going to their farm, Only Jr went to their farm with Kamukamo ( your lookalike ) their dog to feed their chickens this morning.

When they woke up Arnie heated the rice and beef tripe gruel and the rice noodle dish they bought for a snack with the robusta coffee and calamay buna ( sugar and rice confection made in the barrio of Buna ) that her mother bought at the market.

Betty: You better sleep early Arnie, we’re going to our farm early tomorrow morning for the palm fruit picking, your brother filled the containers with water he’s going to load it later in the cart to take it to our farm and fill the water jug and the drum so that we can fill it again with water to take to our farm tomorrow.

It is important that we are already finished cooking breakfast and be in our hut even before the sun rises. Don’t bother to listen to the radio later so that you can sleep early. I soaked the mongo beans, boiled it early so that it would soften fast. Loida will cook it in our hut tomorrow.

Arnie: yes mom…

Arnie’s family went to their farm early the next morning riding in a cart pulled by their carabao. Goryo is done cutting the palm fruit from its branch, they are just going to slabbed it to boil, and pick it.

The family works together to finish picking the palm fruit faster. Goryo cut down two palm fruits, the rest of the palm fruits will be ready for next week.

Arnie: Mom… there’s only a few palm fruits left to be picked I’m going to get some firewood so that, that two cans of palm fruits will be cooked much faster. I’m also going to fetch some cold water in our hut. Arnie said to her mother.

Betty: oh, sure daughter.

Arnie got a few branches of made cacao and dry coconut flowers and coconut branches, she’s walking back to the west part of their farm with two bottles of cold water on her arm when she heard a voice calling her.

Arnieeeee…. Arnieeeeee….. the voice call that’s my mom’s voice??? what is she doing in aunt Orya’s farm??? and why is she calling me???

Arnie put down the branches of made cacao dried coconut flowers and branches and try to follow the voice going to the upper part of their farm where the voice she heard coming from.

mom…… Arnie called her mother, how come she’s not here? I just heard her voice calling me. Arnieeeee after a while she heard the voice of her mother calling at the most upper part of their farm.

She continued following the voice of her mother calling her, she didn’t notice that she is already far away from their farm.

She keeps following the voice until she felt thirsty and tired, she decided to sit on the root of a tree to rest and drink some water. She kept looking around wondering and thinking at the same time where she’s at, and whose farm it is that she is in at the moment while listening if her mother would call her again, when she caught sight of someone just a bit farther away from her.
