"We missed you!"
That's the first greeting i heard once i landed back from US. It's been a while indeed.
"You guys haven't changed a bit! How are you guys?" I asked my friends.
"We're always fine. Busy sa pagtatrabaho, plus the pagod of taking care of the kids. Ikaw, how are you?" Hannah asked, She's one of my friends since Junior High.
"Ah. I'm doing fine as well, medyo naging unapdated lang sa mga ganaps since super busy sa US. Ngayon naman, Mom decided to make me fly back here since she wants me to handle yung mga business niya here."
"Eh kayo, kumusta na?" Pagtatanong naman ni Yna.
"Huh?" Pagkukunwari ko pa.
"Come on, Girl! Alam naming alam mo kung sinong tinutukoy namin!" Dagdag pa ni Yna.
"Past is past. We should not talk about that in moments like this 'no! Madami pang next time, saka ko nalang sasabihin sainyo." Pag iwas ko naman sa tanong ni Yna.
"Kaso... pupunta si Sebastian dito and his friends, i heard your mom invited them to your welcome party." Ria said, i smiled at them for assurance.
"It's fine. It's not like we ended on bad terms anyways."
Yeah, it will be fine, right?
At exactly that moment, i heard the voice of the man i married 9 years ago.
"Welcome home, Janna." He greeted as soon as we faced each other.
"Uy, thank you, Basti."
"You'll be staying here for good?" He asked.
"Maybe..maybe not? It depends on how i can make the business grow. If hindi, i'll go back to US." I said.
"Are we good?" He asked all of a sudden.
"Oo naman. We're more than 'good', you don't have to worry about anything." Pagsagot ko naman sa tanong niya.
We're more than good. Truth.
I'm fine. Lies.
Hanggang kailan ko ba kakayaning magkunwari na hanggang ngayon mahal ko pa din siya? Ang hirap naman kasi ng sitwasyon na 'to.
I was the one who ended it, i shouldn't be hurting for this long, right?
