It's been three years since I last set foot in the Philippines. I haven't seen Aiah or Miya in all that time, and the ache in my heart has only grown stronger.
Life in New York has been a whirlwind. For the past seven months, I've been trying to stabilize things here-working tirelessly, hoping that someday I could return home.
Now, with Christmas just around the corner, the streets are alive with twinkling lights and carolers.
The cold air bites at my skin, but it doesn't compare to the chill of being apart from my family. My mind constantly drifts to Aiah and Miya. How are they doing? Does Miya even remember me?
I glance at the small, wrapped gift sitting on the desk beside me-a tiny snow globe with a miniature New York skyline inside. It's not much, but it's a piece of my life here that I want to share with Miya.
"Makakauwi kaya ako bago mag-Pasko?" I murmur to myself, leaning back on the chair. The thought of seeing their faces again fills me with a mix of hope and anxiety.
I've written letters, sent gifts, but nothing could replace being there in person. Yet, every time I pick up the phone to call Aiah, I freeze. What if she's moved on? What if she's happier without me?
But no-this time, I won't let my doubts hold me back. I grab my phone and open the airline app. It's time to book that ticket.
I know the journey home won't be easy. There will be questions, tears, and perhaps even anger. But I have to try. For Aiah. For Miya. And for the family I left behind.
As the snow begins to fall outside my window, I whisper a silent prayer. Pasko na sa wakas. Sana matanggap nila ako uli.
