New Yorker in Tondo ☻

     This is a typical tale on how one is greatly influenced by the Western world that brought changes to someone through its ways, mannerism and even its attitude that made one a stranger to its native land. The story is mainly about a woman named Kikay who by fortune, was able to live in New York for almost a year. When Kikay returned to his native land in Tondo, she's already a transformed woman and everyone was greatly surprised. She isn't the way she used to be. She now has unmistakably American mannerism and attitude. Confrontations were made when her friends Nena, Totoy and Tony came to visit her. They dislike how greatly Kikay has changed. When Nena and Tony's engagement was revealed, Franchesca was gnashing her teeth out of anger and broke down. The feelings she thought that were faded suddenly made her realize that they were really not. She was just blinded by the fortune and the life she had at New York. Sooner, Kikay then recognized that she still love Tony and she wanted him back badly. However, Tony refused. She was no longer her childhood sweetheart Kikay, but Franchesca, the Americanized woman who revisits Tondo. Kikay humbled herself and explained everything to Tony. Shortly, Tony accepted her back not as Franchesca but as Kikay. And just like any other tale, they lived happily ever after by Kikay getting Tony while Nena ended up with Totoy. ♥
