Broken Promises

Chapter 35

•••

It's almost two weeks since Kate arrived in Spain, she stayed in silence about what she have knew, she didn't tell anyone about that nor Imee. She's starting to be more colder and private than she was, she doesn't care, she didn't text nor ask about Irene.

She'll go back to the Philippines in surprise, she'll just finish her studies there and after she'll be going back here in Spain to live, alone. Today is her flight back to her beloved country, no one is aware about her arrival. She'll be heading straight-ly to Makati, specifically in Imee's house since she knows that today, the whole family is there to stay for the whole vacation.

Early than expected, she arrived at the NAIA wearing a black mask, black cap, a crop top black hoodie and a black leggings paired with her black and white shoes. She was fetch by one of their drivers with a van, she immediately change her clothes inside the van since she has this mini closet inside.

She carefully opened the main door of their house, hearing loud giggles from the whole family melts her heart, she knows that they're currently taking their lunch.

She first breathed-out before heading towards the kitchen, walking with a class sounding so expensive with her heels on and a black hand bag on her hand, she walks with courage, acting like nothing happened. When she reached the dining room, all eyes were caught, mouths in an owe expression, everyone stopped eating, looking at the woman infront of them with a breathtaking look.

"Kate.."

The first voice she heard, she knows that it was her aunt, her most treasure one. Kate then glance at her as she gives her a smile, Imee immediately stood up to approach her and gives her a tight hug.

"I miss you, why'd you tell us about your arrival? We should've fetch you.." Imee protest, Kate softly giggles with what her aunt has told.

"Mama, surprise nga oh, hindi na po surprise yun if I tell you." Kate reasoned out, Imee smirks and hugs her again.

"Tama nga naman, ang sweet naman ng Iya namin may pa surprise pa na nalalaman.." Aimee approached, walking towards her to greet her with a hug.

The other family member starts to approach Kate with a hug and forehead/cheek kisses, except for the two woman quietly sitting infront of the dining table, not minding the lady infront. Kate wasn't bother at all, she didn't expect for her mother's attention again and she's starting to love it, no one will tease and no one will be bothering her anymore. Mas mabuti na ang ganito, we have peace in each other.

"Come sit, join us in eating. The princess has returned!" Bongbong exclaimed, receiving a chuckle from Kate.

"So, how's Spain apo?" Imelda started the conversation, Kate settle her napkin down and looks at Imelda.

"Very good mamita, actually I'm planning to stay there after my studies here. I think it would be nice if I live there since I want to work din naman doon." Kate said straight forward, not minding her family's reaction. That somehow made Irene stopped eating, Imee and the others also put down their utensils to solemnly talk about this matter.

"What did I told you?" Imee affirms, raising her eyebrows. Kate suddenly remembered what Imee told her before she flew to Spain.

"But mama, I didn't promise naman ah. Uuwi pa din naman ako dito, not that often pero uuwi." Kate said, leaning in Imee's shoulder so that she could convince her. Irene glance at them but immediately look away, she's trying her best to look like she doesn't care but she just can't. She loves her so much and in all honesty, she don't want her to leave, she don't want to lose her, she wants to hug and tell her how much she wants to stay with her but there's something that's avoiding her to do so.
