Chapter Forty Three

"Oh god, what should I do?" Cley blurted out as he keep on walking back and forth inside his house. "Shall I come over to their house?" for sure she'll not going to like that. "But how the fuck can I talk to her?"

What if suddenly, she's gone again?

"Hell no. No." he bit his fingers, tensely.

Will he now follow her in London? As what he was actually planning?

"Damn. She's just too near for me not to fucking panic."

The doorbell rang.

He rushed to open the door as he found out it was France outside. Handing him over a piece of paper.

"Solicit?"

"Gago di na ako college student! Basahin mo!"

"65th Grand Alumni Homecoming" he read streching the corner of his brows.

"Ano, sasali ka? Para ma finalize na ang listahan. Alam mong madaming nag-aabang sayo"

"Sa susunod byernes na agad?"

"Syempre! Malay ko bang uuwi ka? Saka hindi mo ba ako papapasukin?" kibit balikat nitong nakangiwi.

"Hop in you brat"

Nakangising naghubad si France ng suot na sapatos at agad umupo sa pang isahang sofa na kaharap lang din sa inupuan ni Cley.

"Ganda talaga ng bahay mo, Cley. Walang ganitong bahay sa Pilar kundi sayo lang."

"By the way, did you already know?"

"Na ano?"

"That she came back?"

"Sino?"

"Emi."

"Ah..." he narrowed his eyes and tilted closer his head forward to Cley a bit. "HA? SI EMI?"

Cley nodded.

"SI EMILIA?!"

"Yes and can you stop yelling?"

"Shit" napatakip ito sa bibig at dahan dahang tumayo. "Tangina sasabihin ko kay Tita."

Cley then smirked. What an unexpected solution.

Without further ado, Maria immediately went to see Emi. She of course missed her, as the Emi is like her own daughter. Walang araw na hindi niya ito iniisip.

"Emi, you have a visitor"

Emi's heart jumped in horror to hear the word visitor, lalo pa at alam na niyang andito ngayon si Cleyou Andres.

The nervousness quickly disappeared when she saw Maria, walking towards her. Parang hinilot ang puso niya ng makita ito ulit.

"Oh my, mi hermosa. Is this really you?" ganoon parin kaganda ito ng huli niyang makita, except sa mga puting buhok na nagsitibo sa may noo nito. The woman cupped both her cheeks as she stared closely to her face. Maria's palm are as warm as it's close to comfort. Then Emi started to tear. "Look at you, I could even barely recognize you. You've grown prettier."

"Tita" she wrapped her arms around her and gave her a hug. She's always the sweetest.

Everyone who witnessed the scene could not stop from being so emotional. Lalo na't pahikbing umiiyak si Emi habang hinagod hagod ang likod nito ni Maria.

She pulled away and pinned her eyes to the guy in front of her. He looked a bit more mature and well dressed.

"Emilia, kumusta"
