Los Angeles,California

"Son,are you sure you want to go back in the Philippines?"Mom asked while I am putting my stuff inside my suitcase.

"Yes Mom,Z is okay now,and I believe mas magiging maganda ang career ko sa Pilipinas."

"You think so?there are lots of opportunity here for a licensed Architect like you,Son,and you can even have bigger,richer  clients here."

I shook my head and smile.

"I know Mom,but..ayaw mo ba nun?na from a messed up boy,ay finally may magagawa naman akong maganda,sa mismong bansa pa natin?this is somewhat my way para maibalik din yung respeto ng tao sa pamilya natin."

"But son---"

Inakbayan ko siya and I kissed her temple.

"Relax Mom,I got this!"

She sadly sighed.

Pinagpatuloy ko ang pagliligpit.

I know ayaw niya lang akong umalis,but my decision is final.kung tutuusin dapat matagal ko na 'tong ginawa,but I didnt have  the chance to do so dahil nga ayaw ni Z na malayo ako sa kanya.After all that happened to her in the Philippines and the trauma shes been through,ayoko rin naman siyang iwan.

"Kuya..talaga bang iiwan mo na ako?"

Binaling ko ang atensyon kay Z na nakakrus ang mga braso at nakahilig ngayon sa bungad ng aking pinto.

She is wiping her tears.

I bit my lower lip.

Nilapitan ko siya at niyakap.

"You're okay now Z,and I know you'll do great here.You have your modelling career starting at magiging busy ka na."

"But I want you here with me,Kuya.."

"I dont have to babysit you anymore,you're a grown up now,but remember this,hindi ka na muna mag boboyfriend or else,I will unleashed my badboy character again."

"Whatever!"she pouted."Thanks Kuya...for everything.."

"Ssshhh..you are my sister,and you will always be my number one priority."

She sniffed.

"O tama na,nasa Pilipinas lang naman ako,hindi naman ako pupuntang universe,eroplano lang ang sasakyan ko hindi spaceship."

Hinampas niya ako ng mahina sa dibdib."Whatever!"

Ginulo ko ang buhok niya.

"Ugh!Kuya!not my hair!"

"Tss!yeah right!"

Pinagpatuloy ko ang pagliligpit ng mga gamit ko,while Mom and Z is watching me.Nakayakap na ngayon si Z sa beywang ni Mom.

These two are very clingy,but I'm sure,I will miss them.

Hinatid nila ako sa airport,may part 2 na iyakan na naman na nangyari.

Inside the airplane,my mind is set,pagdating ko ng Pilipinas ay hahanapin ko agad ang taong pinangakuan kong babalikan ko.

It took me 5 years para tuparin ang pangakong yun and now i'll make sure to fight for my chance,my chance to prove to her that I am worth the risk now,na baka pwede--pwede na niya akong mahalin?at--at maging ama ng anak namin.

I tried to look for her while I'm in the states,nakikibalita ako kina Poch and Tim,pati kay Sky pero wala silang masabi sa akin,its just that,after the graduation,naglaho nalang siyang parang bula that even the advancement of technology didn't help,she is not active in social media.

I took my phone,and looked at my albums.

The only picture I got with her was our senior high school picture with my batchmates at wala ng iba.

I am holding my phone with my left hand ng matabig ito ng flight attendant kaya nahulog.

Hindi iyon napansin ng flight attendant,at nasipa pa ito papunta sa unahan.

I stood up,yumukod para pulutin ang phone,ng may naunang pumulot nun sakin.

"Is this yours?"

Nag angat ako ng tingin.

A little boy was holding my phone.He is wearing a white crochet bonnet,a white hoodie na may nakasulat na Lost&Found sa gitna.

Based on his cute appearance,he is a filipino.

"Is this yours?"ulit niya.

"Ah yeah!right!Thanks!"

"You're welcome."

"Your jacket is cool!"Sabi ko.

"Really?"Yumuko siya,sinilip ang nakasulat sa jacket niya,saka nag angat ng tingin at nagkibit balikat.

"You like it?"

"Yes!"sagot ko.

"So you think I'm cool?"

"Well you are!"

The little boy smiled and like me,my dimples din siya sa baba at gilid ng kanyang labi.

Napatitig ako sa kanya,ganun din siya sa akin.

He is blinking and waiting for what I am going to say.

My impulses is telling me to touch his dimples but he suddenly ran back to the front.

I exhaled and stood up.Bago ako bumalik sa upuan ko ay nilingon ko pa ang bata pero di ko na siya nakita.Maybe,bumalik na ito from where he is sitted.

After a long flight ay lumapag na rin ang eroplano sa NAIA.

Only lolos driver ang susundo sa akin at wala ng iba.

Pagkababa ng eroplano at paglabas ng gate ng airport ay napapikit ako at suminghap.

Finally,I'm home!

"Roxanne Fatima "Roxy" Cristobal!I'm back!and I'm coming for you!"I uttered and smiled.
