Read a Tagalog Novel

"Gustong-gusto niya kapag nanggagaling sa Nasuli ang kanyang Auntie at Uncle. Marami silang dalang prutas at gulay. Kung tag-kaimito, tag-kamunsil, tag-bayabas, tag-sinigwelas, tag-makopa. Doon din nanggagaling ang mga bulaklak na birds of paradise na tumutubo sa likuran ng kanilang bahay at ang come down my love na umaabot sa banggerahan mula sa pagkakakapit nito sa santol sa gilid ng bintana. Naalala rin niya ang mga dahon ng lagundi na pinapakuluan ng kanyang Auntie. Ito ang pinapainom sa kanila sa umaga bago sila pumasok sa klase." from the novel Lumbay ng Dila by Genevieve Asenjo
