"Engr. Chinlie Jane..." I heard the one work worker glanced at me with his scare eyes.

Tiningnan ko siya at nginitian ngunit isang pilit na ngiti lang ang kaniyang ibinalik sa akin. "Why are you just standing there, you should be working right?" I asked him and pointed at the station where the medicines should be packed accordingly.

"Yes, Engineer!" he nervously utter and immediately went to his station where he should be working.

"You're scaring our workers," the pharamacist beside me uttered.

It's just my job, right? Hindi ko naman sila tinatakot dahil una ay dapat ginagawa nilang mabuti ang kanilang trabaho. And seeing the scary man seconds ago is just standing is not right, eh? Hindi ko naman siya binalaan na papatayin ang pamilya niya ng dahil lang sa hindi siya nagtatrabaho sa oras ng trabaho niya.

"I am not okay? It's just, t-in-iming niya na naman na papunta ako dito ay saka siya nagloloko sa trabaho," sambit ko sa kaniya.

I'm currently at New Jersey and I am assigned here to facilitate them. Malamang ay nandito ako para mag-bisor sa mga eqiupment at kung tama ba ang ginagawa nila. And also I'm with my partner, a pharmacist because she's the one who understands more in processing a medicine.

And yes, you read it right. I am working now in one of the famous medicine factory and working as a chemical engineer. In just a glimpse of one hand, it all happened and now I'm already a professional engineer which I never saw when I was in highschool. Nakita ko na lang basta ang sarili ko na nag-aaral bilang isang chemical engineering.

"You're spacing out again, Chin." my partner snap her hand in front of my face. She's also a filipino who work here as a pharmacist.

"I'm sorry," I softly told her.

"Kailan ka uuwi ng Pilipinas? Well, I heard that you booked a flight to Philippines," wika niya kaya napaamang ako.

In one week, I am able to see the Philippines again. After five years, I am able to go back from where I really belong. "Alam mo, sa tuwing nababanggit ko ang Pilipinas ay lagi kang napapaisip at natatahimik. Do you really miss Philippines that bad?" Faye asked me.

Do I really miss Philippines this much that I need to space out everytime I heard that country? Or it's jist the fact that I have missed a business there? Not literally a business but I missed the people I used to be with.

Damn.

"No, maybe because I live there before?" I asked her.

Napangisi siya sa sagot ko kaya binalik ko na lang ang ginagawa ko. "You know what? I think you badly need some vacation because you work too much! Limang taon ka na dito sa New Jersey at hindi man lang umuuwi ng Pilipinas. How about your loved ones there? They are surely missing you," wika niya na nagpakuyom sa kamao ko.

"Let's just go back to work," I told her but she still managed to shook her head and disappointment is visible on her face.

She didn't know about my past yet she is already judging me on how I luve here for the five years. Well, she's right after all because I'm just escaping from the painful reality about my past.

Five years has passed yet I can't still tell myself that I have already moved on. Kasi sa tuwing nababanggit ang Pilipinas, palaging siya ang inisiip ko. Palagi siyang pumapasok sa isip ko kahit hindi ko naman iniimbitahan.

After I broke up with him, we became cold the each other until I decided to transfer to another school just to avoid him. Because I know in myself that I can't move on from him knowing that I still love him when I ended our relationship.
