The Space Between us

Chapter 23

Loren's Pov

1 year later.....

The moment I step out in the plane and inhaling the dirty air of my country(charot). God it feel so good to be home again.

I never told my friends na umuwi na ako cause I wanted to surprise them, staying 1 year in london taught me a lot. Halos mangiyak iyak ako ng magpaalam na ako sa mga estudyante ko na uuwi na ako. Even them halos pigilan na akong lumabas ng classroom.

It's time to face everything, besides nakausad na ako, at handa na ulit akong bumalik..

Alam Kong nasa Bahay Sila Ngayon nila Alice at Risa cause it's Ali's birthday. Dadaan lang ako sa Bahay to fix my things then diretso na ako Kila Risa.

I Hailed a cab Kasi Yung sasakyan ko iniwan ko Muna Kila Risa. Tinugon ko sa kanya lahat ng personal belongings ko, even the spare key of my house sa kanya ko Rin binigay para kahit papano makapagtawag siya ng lilinis sa Bahay ko kapag maalikabok na.

It was an hour drive Bago ako makarating sa Bahay ko.

"Home sweet home" ngiti ko

When I entered my house the nostalgic Smell of my furnitures linger through my nose, dali Dali akong nag ayos ng gamit at nag asikaso I bought Ali a gift, alam Kong hinahanap na ako ng batang iyon.

After fixing my things, I changed my clothes at Saka pumara ulit ng taxi para makapunta Kila Risa

Still my heart still beating faster the moment na Papunta na ako Kila Risa.

Shit Loren get it together! Nakausad kana.

20 minutes later nakarating na ako sa may gate and I pressed the doorbell thrice before it opens at sinalubong ako ni Alice.

I smiled when she looked at me, but her reaction is way more funnier.

"LOREN?!" bulalas nito

"Hey Alice" ngiti ko Dito

She didn't answer pero niyakap ako nito

"Gosh we missed you!" She said between their hugs

I tapped her back

"I missed you all also" Saad ko

Bumitaw ito sa yakap at inakay ako papasok

"Pasok ka, Ali's misses you so much kung alam mo lang" Saad nito

Dire diretso kaming pumasok, Doon ko naabutan SI Ali nag lalaro with her friends na siyang bisita Niya.

"Ali, look who's here" Saad ni Alice

Ali turn into our direction and when she saw me her eyes widened. Ang tangkad Niya na Isang Taon lang ako nawala

"Ninang Loren?" She even tilted her head as if she can't believe it.

"Hi baby" kaway ko dito

"NINANG LOREN!!" sigaw nito at tumakbo papalapit saakin

I lowered down and open my arms to welcome her hugs.

"Ninang Loren where have you been?? I missed you!" Ali said between our hugs

"I'm sorry if ninang Loren wasn't around for the past few months. Happy birthday baby" I kissed her cheeks

I handed her my gift

"Thank you ninang Loren" Saad nito at hinagkan ako sa pisngi

"Open it" I said

Ali opened the gift I bought her, and her reaction was something I cannot explain.

It's the set of Harry potter's book, knowing Ali who loves to read at a very young age. She would love this.
