A family have many children, little boys were playing inside the house, running here and there, and a daughter who was already studying in College. Their daughter was working while studying, she was a working student.

One day, her mother was so busy and worrying something. She shouted with a loud voice to her daughter who was on the other side, in the living room, "๐— ๐˜† ๐—–๐—ต๐—ถ๐—น๐—ฑ, ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ด๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ป๐˜? ๐— ๐˜† ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜† ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ป'๐˜ ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ด๐—ต..."

The daughter got angry, according to her, she had no enough money.

She walked out and ran away. She went outside without saying goodbye. Along the road, she just followed other women on the left path, and while walking, she wanted to cross to the other aside, to her right. However, she need to cross first a dangerous highway in the middle where cars, buses and large trucks were running fast.

She's about to cross the highway, when suddenly a

fast car came into view, so she hurriedly limped backward, going back to the side of the middle road.

And a background song played out of nowhere,

Anak (song by Freddie Aguilar)

No'ng isilang ka sa mundong ito

Laking tuwa ng magulang mo

At ang kamay nila ang 'yong ilaw

At ang nanay at tatay mo'y

'Di malaman ang gagawin

Minamasdan pati pagtulog mo

At sa gabi'y napupuyat ang iyong nanay

Sa pagtimpla ng gatas mo

At sa umaga nama'y kalong ka

Ng iyong amang tuwang-tuwa sa iyo

Ngayon nga ay malaki ka na

Ang nais mo'y maging malaya

'Di man sila payag, walang magagawa

Ikaw nga ay biglang nagbago

Naging matigas ang iyong ulo

At ang payo nila'y sinuway mo...

And then I woke up, it's 3am. Who was that CHILD?
