But my father missed my mother so much and in one month away from my mother, he went home back to our place without the knowledge of my mothers mother. Before my father went to Davao, my grandmother put my mother into house imprisonment. She was no longer going to school, that's why my father decided to go Davao so she could continue her study in high school. But my father worried to my mother situation.

He secretly came home and talked one of their friend and cousin of my mother to get my mother at my grandmother's house. My grandmother agreed and allowed my mother to went out with her cousin. My grandmother didn't know that my father was already in town.
