The moment I stepped my feet out of the car and entered the house. Party poppers and balloons greeted my sight as loud squeals heard.

"Welcome back, Ai"

"Bebi! You're back!"

"Aiks I miss you!"

I playfully rolled my eyes and smiled at them. I laughed when they cooed seeing my reaction.

"Chaka, don't you miss us?" Stacey asked in the cutest way, I chuckled.

"I miss you so much guys!" I whinned, scooping them for a group hug, earning giggles from them.

"How's Canada?" Maloi asked while we're walking to my room.

"Good? Yeah, Jhoanna and I had some bonding, I felt home. We visited mom and dad, it's great" My voice became low while saying the last words.

I gave them a small smile while sitting on my bed.

"Ate..." Sheena called me with the hint of sadness on her voice, while the other girls is looking at me with a worried face.

"It's okay... that's a long time ago" I said with a assuring smile. They just nod and smile.

"So, kumusta naman si Jhoanna and her husband?" Stacey asked about my sister and Adie while we're walking downstairs going to the kitchen.

"They're good, actually they're heading here right now with Summer" I chuckled making their eyes widens.

"Si Summer? Uuwi sila? My god bakit hindi mo sinabi!" Maloi scowled, I just laughed.

"Well It will never be a surprise if you knew," I said taking the glass of water to drink.

"And we already knew" Sheena chuckled. I just rolled my eyes giggling, while putting the glass on the counter table.

"Kaya nga, just act that you get surprised" I answered. Earning laugh from them.

"So how's life guys, work, love?" I said to start a conversation.

"Good, It's great" Maloi chuckled and glanced at Stacey.

"Tiring, but happy because I have my baby!" Stacey said as she pinched Maloi's cheeks.

Sumama ang mukha ni Sheena kaya napatawa kami.

"Aga aga, ang babargas " She commented with a disgusted face while the couple stuck their tongue out causing her to roll her eyes.

"Tatawagan ko si Bebe mamaya, humanda kayong dalawa" Banta niya

"Kahit magsumbong ka pa" Stacey teased her pero umirap lang ulit ito bago bumaling paharap sa akin na may malawak na ngiti.

"Oh my god, I'm so happy!" Sheena squeels, I just smile seeing their reactions. "Nakaka inspire ang successful life with love" She added at yumakap sa akin.

"Pero sobrang namiss kita" She mumbled kaya ginulo ko ang buhok niya.

"I miss you too, lahat kayo" I smiled at them as they joined the hug.

They're now successful like me. Stacey became a fashion model influencer for luxurious brands, Sheena built her own dance studio to teach youth on dancing and become the most paid Philippine Entertainment here.
