"Yes, dad?" i said after placing the phone on my air, dad's calling me again.

[What time is your flight tomorrow, anak?] he ask.

"2 pm. Why dad?"

[Me and your mom can't pick you up at the airport, there's a sudden metting with my new business partner in Singapore.]

"Ow.. It's okay dad, i'll call kuya Zejie to pick me up nalang."

[No need, i already told them. Your kuyas will be the one to fetch you..]

"Talaga dad? Isn't kuya Zaydin busy?" i got excite that kuya Zaydin will pick me up together with kuya Zejie and kuya Zyler.

[He's free tomorrow, don't worry anak.]

"Okay! I'm excited to see them!" masayang ani ko. Happiness and excitement are evident in my voice that made my dad chuckle.

[Aren't you excited to see your handsome daddy and your beautiful mom?] malungkot kunwaring ani dad napahagikhik naman ako.

"Of course i miss you and mom, more!"

[We miss you too. Alright i'll hung up the call na, i have some business to finish for tomorrow.]

"Okay bye, love you dad!"

[I love you more, take care okay?]

"I will. Bye.." and then he end up the call na.

After the call, pinagptuloy ko na ang pagiimpake ng mga gamit ko para sa paguwi ko sa pilipinas. After so many years of me staying here in Canada for my study and work after, and how many years of being far with my family, well except for kuya Zaydin cuz he's always visiting me here, finally makakauwi na rin ako.

I miss them so much. I miss my family so much, and my bestfriends and friends too, Aye and Shiero and ate Eya. Miss ko na sila sobra.

Mula kasi ng dito na ako nag-aral ay wala kaming naging komunikasyon nila Aye at Shiero. Ginusto ko rin naman yon dahil ayaw ko pang mag open up ng mga bagay-bagay tungkol sa naging dahilan ng pag-alis ko, at kung bakit ako umalis.

After packing my things naisipan kong makipagkita sa mga kaibigan ko at kay Ashtan para magpaalam sa kanila.

Sa loob ng ilang taon ko rito nakahanap ako ng mga kaibigan, kasama na sina Harri, Ethan at mas lalo na si Ashtan na naging barkada ko at sobrang close kami. Dahil sa closeness namin ay napagkakamalan pa kaming magjowa ng mga tao dahil daig pa namin ang may relasyon, ang sweet at ang caring kasi ng taong yon, minsan nga sinasabi nina Mia, Calista at Aria na mag jowa daw kami pero tinatawanan lang naming dalawa.

Nagchat ako sa gc namin saying that i want to see them this night sa favorite tambayan namin sa coffe shop sa Toronto, and gladly they all agreed.

Habang nagbibihis para sa meet up namin ng mga kaibigan ko my phone suddenly rang. I smiled when i saw the caller's name. It's Ash.

"Hey, wazzup?"

[Hey. What is that your message all about?] curious niyang tanong.

"Why?" natatawang tanong ko.

[It seems that you have something to say. Is it?] alam na alam talaga ng isang to.

"Yes. And i'm not telling it to you right now." i said while smirking and busy tying my shoelaces.
