Katapos ng pagbyahe ko ng mahabang oras, I arrived at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport. It's already 12:00 in the morning when I landed at the airport. Angelo said he sent me a van at diretso na ito sa hotel ni Caelum. As I exit the gate I saw someone holding a banner with my fake name on it, since I can't let them write my real name at mahirap na baka may makakita.

Habang nagbabyahe kami ay nagtext ako kay Angelo kung anong ginagawa nila at pauwi na rin sila. Natakot pa nga ako baka mauna silang makarating kesa sakin.

Karating namin sa hotel ay pumunta ako sa front desk at binigay nila sakin ang card dahil naibilin naman na ako ni Angelo sa kanila.

"Merci." Then I went to the suite. I decided to cook for me and Caelum, since I'm hungry as hell. Ang masasabi ko lang airplane foods are yucky, kahit naka first class ako ay hindi pa rin masarap ang pagkain.

Habang nagluluto ako ay kinakanta ko ang isa sa mga kanta na ilalagay ko sa album ko at nakarinig ako ng yabag ng paa.

Kala ko ay matatapos ko pa ang niluluto kong noodles bago siya dumating.

"Hi Caelum!" May sasabihin pa sana ako pero hindi ko na nagawa dahil sa biglaang pagyakap niya sakin ng mahigpit.

Habang yakap yakap ko siya ay nakaramdam ako ng namamasa ang balikat ko. When I felt that I became worried. I was struggling to get out of his hug but he keeps on tightening it.

"Don't."

"Why are you crying Caelum?" My voice was laced with concern. I can hear him sniffling and it looks like he's trying to calm himself. After a few deep breaths he let me go. I can see his tear stained face.

I cupped his face and he smiled at me. "Why are you crying hmm?" I brushed off the remaining tears on his face.

"I was so worried about you, I cannot contact you, then I can't even have a long break to look for you. Love, natakot ako baka anong nangyari sa'yo. Wala pa yung phone ko, tapos iniisip ko rin kung hinihintay mo ba yung tawag ko o galit ka ba kase hindi ako nakatawag." I couldn't help but laugh at his reason. When he heard me laugh, he instantly glared at me.

"Love it's not funny. I was really worried." He removed his face from my hands and turned away.

Caelum is too cute.

I decided to back hug him, my face was buried in his neck and I felt his hand holding my own.

"Bat mo naman naisip na magagalit ako sayo dahil hindi ka tumawag? I understand you po. Alam ko na busy ka at alam ko na may ginagawa ka. Atsaka pano mo ko makokontak eh nasa eroplano ako papunta sa'yo. Wag ka na magalit, gutom na ako at inaantok tas magagalit ka pa." I mumbled at his neck.

He faced me and hugged me again. "You really surprised me, love. Hindi mo naman kailangan pumunta dito. You should've waited for me." Then he kissed my forehead.
