Rekindled Love

CHAPTER : ONE

Alina's POV

It is good to be back here after five years of being away from my own country due to personal reasons. Nevertheless, I am not here for that. Yanna needs my help with her firm. Years have passed, and she is finally happy with her own family, together with her twins. Argh! I badly want to see my cute pamangkins. They are such adorable little ones. Yanna might not have gotten anything from her kids, all from her Wife. Perhaps, she got some traits from her, but not very noticeable.

"How are you?" A voice behind my back asked, her intoxicating perfume lingered around. Not that strong but not that good tho. Just a combination of cinammon and mint.

I spinned around to face that someone, her signature shinchan hoodie made me laugh. Isa rin 'to na kahit ilang taon na lumipas mahal na mahal pa rin niya. Her mid-length black curvy hair freely flowing behind her back as she slowly made her way towards my direction. "Hey." I mumbled, smiling at her.

Gosh I miss this girl.

"Won't you hug me?" Her brows arched, lips pursed into thin line and those menace orbs that everyone hates to look at. She raised her arms, signalling me for a hug.

I chuckled.

"Silly, Aell." 

I pushed myself towards her and let our warmth body collide as we both feeling the longiness and like a century of not seeing each other. Naramdaman kong humigpit ang yakap niya sa akin, I can also feel a hot liquid on my shoulders and that's my cue to shed in tears too. It's my fault that I left everyone without a goodbye. Basta nalang ako umalis at iniwan silang lahat dito.

"Ang daya m-mo..." She said in between her sobs.

As a return ay mas hinigpitan ko ang yakap sa kaniya, wala na akong pake kung ano pa ang isipin ng mga tao ngayon sa labas ng airport. I want to seize this moment I have with this girl who has been there since then, the person whom I can call home, the person I can run to, the person who never invalidates my feelings and yet I left this persons behind. Kaya sobrang saya at gaan sa pakiramdam na hanggang ngayon ay walang nagbago sa kaniya at ako rin naman. We have to catch up for those years we did not get a chance to spend. 

"I know..." I replied.

Humiwalay na ito sa akin at kitang kita ko ngayon ang pamamaga ng mga mata niya at mukha niyang hilam na hilam sa luha. Gusto ko man siya pagtawanan ay hindi ko magawa dahil wala akong karapatan na tumawa kung nasaktan ko ang kaisang isang kaibigan na meron ako.

"Uh guys sorry to interrupt your moments pero hindi lang naman ikaw Aelliana 'yong kaibigan na iniwanan kaya p'wede ba kami naman?" Isang baritonong boses ang pumukaw sa amin ni Aell kaya parehas namin na nilingon ito at ganu'n na lamang ang pagtalon ng puso ko nang makita ko ang mga taong nasa harapan ko.

Oops! 

Aelliana is not the only of friend that I have.

"Marcus..." I whispered but I got his attention. He walked towards and instantly crush me with his strong and sturdy arms. 

"Gosh M-marcus... I can't b-breathe..." I said while trying to gain some air. His hug were too tight for me to handle, I'm not those guys who can paired with his strong and sturdy arms.

"I miss you Alina..." He whispered.

I smiled and pulled myself away from his grasp, looking at him with happiness radiates within me. I can see that he is so happy, I can see it through his eyes. It glistens and shines as it sees something that he longs for. 

"I miss you more, Marcus." I softly mumbled, his smile grew wider after I said those words.

"Yie!"

"Muling ibalik ang tamis ng pag-ibig~" The group sang, while they were giving us their teasing looks.
