CIRCA 2000s
Two college sweethearts who fell apart owing to their personal career choices. One migrated, one stayed. 10 years later, an unexpected invitation comes her way. All dreams of their 'destination' crumbled down before her.
Is it right to...
"Ading. Balik ka na sa Pinas." Imee's voice rang through the speaker of her phone.
"Wala na akong babalikan diyan, Manang." "Gaga ka ba? Binyag ni Matthew." "Ay... Oo nga pala..." Irene chuckled at herself as she fixed her things on her bag.
"Alam ko anong nanyari. Diba may number ka ni Milo?" Irene remembered the man and sighed, "Yeah, meron. Bakit?" "Sabay na lang kayo ni Attorney." "Sinong Attorney?" "Si Milo!"
Irene's mouth fell agape, "He's an attorney!?" She exclaimed.
"Mmhmm... Sabay na kayo umuwi dito." "Kelan ba balik niya? I already talked to the director here, he told me naman na kung gusto ko pa bumalik dito, makakabalik naman ako... He'll keep my position daw if ever my mind changes..." "Sige na, ading ko, I'll see you soon. Kayo na lang mag-usap." "Hays. Sige ate... By-" "Dad likes Milo. Anyway. Bye!"
The phone ended with Irene staring at her phone. She frowned at what Imee said before she ended the call. She rolled her eyes and grabbed her phone, texting the not-so-unknown number.

She stared at her phone before dropping it into her bag. She stood up and took a look around her clinic one last time, "Gonna miss this place..." She smiled before going out of her clinic, out of the hospital, and went straight to Rachel's house.
She's gonna miss London.

Her clothes were all packed, she left some of her things unused at Rachel's and the other to some charity organization.
Miguel tried to contact Irene as he wanted to let her know he didn't know about the wedding. That he and Lorene didn't know about it and they were just as shocked as Irene was.
But she didn't want to hear any of it. Maybe just for the sake of sanity.
"Bisita ka pa rin dito ha?" Rachel broke the silence making Irene snap back into reality. She smiled at her friend and chuckled, "Of course! Ikaw rin, bisita ka rin sa Pinas..."
