Enclosure 1

“QUE SERA, SERA”

Chelou D. Pantaden

Zeah was a girl who grew up in a home where she

cleaned her bed after waking up, prepared foods for a meal
of the family and washed dishes after eating. On Saturdays
and Sundays, her household chores became more
compared to the days where she had to go to school.
She felt very upset every time she sees her older sister
and older brother feeling happy being with their father.
Although she had this kind of feeling, she never
complained.
One night, she asked her father if she could go with
them. “Who will be left here to stay with your mother?” her father asked.
Without a word, she nodded and went inside her room.
After few minutes, her mother asked,” Do you really want to go with your
father tonight? “. She looked at her mother with a smile. She ran fast to her
room and shouted, “Thank you mother!”.
They headed when everything was ready. To Zeah’s surprise that her
mother was going with them, she couldn’t help singing until everybody was
singing. “Que Sera, Sera… What will be, will be...” They laughed at each other.
Her father said, “We will do it always. We are very busy tending our own
chores and forget to express how important each other is in building a very
good home.”
“Yes father, I am glad you have come to sense the way I had been sensing
years ago! “, Zeah’s mother replied.
They all smiled and “Que Sera, Sera…What will be, will be.. “
They were repeating the song again and again approaching their destination.
