"Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We are about to land on Terminal 3, Ninoy Aquino International Airport. Kindly fasten your seatbelts and wait for further instruction from the crew. In behalf of every crew, I would like to thank each and one of you for trusting us. Have a happy holiday everyone! Godbless!"

"I'm finally back...after several years of staying in the United States." You thought as you watch the plane descend.

"We're home Jill!" Tricia playfully squish Jill's arms. Clearly excited to be home and see their mom.

"Kalma lang naman ate." Jill tried to shake your hands away. "Masyado naman to excited. Talo mo pa ako kakauwi lang." She playfully rolled her eyes at her ate Trish.

"Huy. Ano ba. Parang mga bata to." Ate Aika scolded the both of you.

"Sorry, excited lang ako makita si mama. Ano ba." You replied.

"Si mama or si ano...?" Ate Aika teased.

"Sino na naman yan? Unless si Y/N yan. Why not? Pero baka ikaw may namimiss Ate Aiks" You sassily replied.

"Burn" Jill quipped.

"Excuse me Robredo sisters. Please fasten your seatbelts, we are about to land." A cabin crew gently instructed. "Also, please try to lower your voice, the passenger seating in front of you requested it. Thank you." She quietly whispered.

"Sorry. Thank you" You said.

---------------------------------

After 30 mins, the Robredo sisters are finally out and currently waiting at the backage belt counter, looking for their bags. Ate Aika was trying to contact their mom while Jill and Tricia are waiting for their bags.

"Na-contact mo na ba ate si mama?" Jill asked ate Aika.

"Not yet. Pero nagsend na ako message na hinihintay na lang natin ang bags natin" Ate Aika replied.

"Baka naghihintay na si mama sa labas. Alam naman ni mama flight details natin." You said. "Besides, kasama kaya naming ang paborito anak ni mama. For sure andyan na yan." You playfully add.

"Mabuti na lang pala andito ako" Jill grinned.

The Robredo sisters burst out laughing while patiently waits for their bags.

Suddenly, someone bumped Jill's shoulder while trying to reach for their bag on the conveyor. Jill lost her balanced but the stranger was able to catch her while holding their bag.

"Sorry miss" The stranger said while helping her stand up.

"Umm..." Jill stammered. "It's okay po. Be careful next time" Jill said.

The stranger flashed a smile before walking away.

"Huy!" Ate Aika tried to get Jill's attention. "Ano? Disney movie ang peg?" Ate Aika teased.

"Hindi. Familiar yung feeling ate." Jill simply said.

"What do you mean ba?" Ate Aika further probe.

"Di ko fully ma-explain ate, basta familiar. Alam mo yun. Yung para nawawala ate or close mo tapos bigla mo nafeel yung presence?" Jill said.

"It's the one one I saw earlier" Tricia quickly supplied. "Siya yung tinititigan ko kanina ate Aika sa plane. Yung may baby."

"Y/n?" Ate Aika asked.

"We don't know" Jill glumly replied. "Siguro?"

"Tanungin na lang natin mamaya si mama kung may balita siya?" Ate Aika reassured her sisters. "Okay?"

Both Jill and Tricia nodded.
