Colet's POV
I passed by the street where Jhoanna and I used to part ways whenever she'd have to go home after a short visit to my place way back in College. It was late at night, and I wasn't sure why I was heading to the same place where we said goodbye—our old condo unit.
Ten years but I still remember her even in the most empty places. Like the recurring breeze of the air as it slowly blows right through my face. I still search for her even in the middle of a thousand crowds. Just like how I saw her before, in the middle of hundreds of people. Hoping she would welcome me even if I broke her heart.
After ten years, I'm back. Manila is not the same anymore in terms of its physical structure. But it still gives me the same feeling and vibe. The traffic, busy hours, and city lights. This, this is home. I'm finally back!
I left my father's house as soon as I settled my things and decided to go for a long drive that led me to the places Jhoanna and I used to go. I stayed for about 30 minutes. Nang mapagod ako, I decided to go home.
I'm here now, love. I came back for you.

The meeting is over. Dad introduced me as the new CEO of our company pagkatapos ay iniwan niya na ako rito. After 10 years, he went to visit us and asked for mom's forgiveness. Fortunately, they worked things out and that's when I decided to come back to where I belong.
My phone beeped and saw my friends being loud again in our group chat.
Mikha: Asan kayo?
Gwen: Bahay
Maloi: Studio. @Colet, Welcome back! Aren't you going to visit the studio? Miss ka na namin kumanta.
Colet: Office pa ako eh
Mikha: Geez! Paperworks agad? Kauuwi mo lang!
Colet: All goods, pagtatanggol mo naman ako if something happened to my company, right?
Gwen: Did you slept with one of your employees? Kasi sana all!
Colet: Geez, you dry dry. Kaya hindi ka nagustuhan ni Sheena eh. Anyway, wanna come over later tonight?
Maloi: Why?
Colet: Oh, you totally forgot na.
Mikha: Ano bang meron?
Colet: Nothing. We're so busy na with our lives no?
Gwen: What are you saying? Are you drunk?
