Airport



Chad rolls down the car window as soon as he pulled the car over. Iya who's standing by the exit of the airport lowered her sunglasses to see a familiar face.

"Seriously? Why would they send you huh?" Iya asked, giggling as she walked towards Chad who's running to hug her. Iya hugged him back, messing his hair as she moves away.

"I would've dressed better if I knew that I'm meeting a barbie doll," Chad said. He then helped Iya carry her luggage and load them into the car's trunk.


Chad stated a fact when he said that Iya looks like a barbie doll. She's wearing a mini skirt and a fitted silver top along with a six-inch stiletto. Her curly hair is in a messy bun but she looks prettier with it.


"Stop staring. Baka ma-inlove ka ulit niyan," Iya said when he felt Chad looking at her.

"Oh come on," Chad said and groaned.

"I'm so over you," He added and chuckled.

"Am I supposed to feel offended or relieved?" She asked.

"But seriously Iya, you look so beautiful. Let me guess, taken ka na 'no?" Chad assumed.

"No one is good for me, Chad. Guys keep disappointing me nowadays," She said and Chad can't help but laugh at her complaint.

"Thanks for coming for me though. Third-wheeling Elisse and Matthew are the least I wanna do," Iya said, referring to Elisse who was fetched by Matthew an hour ago. Iya chose not to tag along and ruin the lovers' atmosphere.

"No problem. Wala rin naman akong gagawin,"

"How long have they been dating tho?"

"Four years,"

"They're unstoppable," He added and laughed.

"How's everyone doing? I expected everyone would come for me but I'm disappointed na ikaw lang ang dumating. I guess they're not that excited to see me again,"

"Nah, that's so not true, Iya. In fact, they're scrambling over and preparing for Leo and Cheska's second engagement party,"

"Second?"

"Yup. They had the first one a month ago but Cheska decided to celebrated again. It's a double celebration anyway, for her pregnancy and for you and Elli's come back," He said which brought disgust and uneasiness to Iya's face by the mention of her ex.

"I mean come back not comeback. Those two words are completely different from each other," Chad said with emphasis.

"Thanks for the clarification,"

"But it's good that he's coming back," Sabi niya kaya naman natahimik si Chad.

"He acted like a ghost for the past five years. It's manly of him to come back and face us,"

"But you acted like a ghost too just like him," Sabi niya kaya naman tiningnan siya ni Iya ng masama.

"Are you taking his side?" She asked, crossing his arms.

"I'm taking no one's side, Iya. But are you still mad at him though?"

"Not really. I just don't care anymore,"

"But don't hate him too much, Iya. He's still Elli and until now, no one knew the reason why he broke up with you,"

"That's the worst," She said sharply.
