Nang makuha ko na ang lahat ng luggage ko at mailagay sa cart, lumabas na ako ng Tagbilaran airport. Sumakay ako sa isang van na naghihintay sa mga pasahero para ihatid sa pupuntahan nila. I waited until all the passengers were already here inside the van before we left.
Since my destination is just 15 minutes away from the airport, I was the one who got out of the van first. The driver helped me put all of my things down from the compartment before he drove away. Now, I'm left here alone in front of Grayson's house.
Is he even here . . . ?
Tumingin ako sa kalangitan. The season right now is not that sunny anymore. May araw pero hindi na mainit sa pakiramdam. Therefore, it's not summer anymore. I took a deep breath before I walked towards the door bell and pressed it.
I waited for a few minutes. Right now, my hands are cold and shaking because I wanted to surprise Grayson . . . that I am here for him now.
Pero ano bang naghihintay sa akin sa pagbukas ng gate na ito? What if he has someone else already? What if . . . he's not here anymore?
Naputol ang pag-iisip ko nang bumukas ang gate. Napapikit ako nang mariin nang maramdaman kong may tao na sa harap ko . . . at ramdam na ramdam ko kung kaninong presensiya ito.
"Summer . . ."
I slowly opened my eyes as I looked at Grayson who's now in front of me. His mustache and hair grew a lot. It's longer than the last time we saw each other. He looked a bit thinner now than the last time we met.
He also reeks of alcohol and cigarettes.
"H-Hi . . ."
He gulped as his eyes looked at the things behind me. He gulped repeatedly as his eyes turned red before he looked at me.
"Y-You're here."
I smiled as my tears pooled at the corner of my eyes. "And always will be."
He heaved a deep sigh as his tears fell immediately. "Will you really do that?"
"Of course."
He bit his lower lip. "Kahit umitim ka na ulit?"
I laughed. "Kahit maging uling pa ako."
He cried more. "Even though you need to leave your life in Manila behind?"
I stretched my arms to show him all of the bags and luggages I am with. "I already left everything behind."
He sighed once again. "Are you even sure? It's not an impulse decision, right?"
I smiled. "I've finished all of my unfinished business in Manila for two months, Grayson. Nothing is never planned here." I stepped forward. "Ako pa rin ba? Mahal mo pa rin ba ako?"
He chuckled. "Hindi naman nawala ang pagmamahal ko sa 'yo."
Lumapit ako sa kan'ya at niyakap siya. "Mahal na mahal kita."
