Chapter 1
"Stab the body and it heals, but injure the heart and the wound would last a lifetime."

"But Dad! I can't.You know I'm too busy with work. I can't leave the people I work with in here." I said

"That's final . You're coming home. Alam mo naman na miss na miss kana namin ng Mommy mo. C'mon it's been three years. I'm pretty sure you've moved on na." My dad said. Still hoping for me to say yes.

it's been three years. Three dreadful years since I flew from Philippines. Three years since i last saw him and I still can't bear it in my mind to go back there. Everything about Manila reminds me of him. Reminds me of what he have done to me and what happened to us.
My Dad's voice broke me out from thinking of him.

"So ano? Is it a yes? Kasi you're mom is really really excited to see you."

Parang nakonsensya naman ako sa 'really really excited to see you'. And I can't bear to imagine  my mom's face when my dad would tell her that I said no for the nth time.

Maybe it's finally time. Maybe it's time to go back. And I think the wounds have healed. So I finally said the three letters that I know my mom and dad would love to hear.

"Yes." I said flatly

"Yes?" My dad hesitated

"Yes Dad, I agree na. I'm coming back home."

"Yeees! That's a good news! Hindi na ako makahintay na sabinin to sa mommy mo. I'll call you back later okay? And thank you rin" my dad said happily

"Thank you? Para saan?"

"For coming back home" my dad said.
Well that made me teary. I was too busy thinking about myself that I forgot that my mom and dad also misses me.

"You don't have to thank me Dad. I did it naman because I really do miss you guys, hindi dahil you forced me to go back home." I said

"Still. So I'll call you back okay? Love you Al" dad said

"Love you too Dad. "

I ended the call with a sigh. Well its time to pack.

Packing up my things is never an easy thing to do. I always end up packing almost everything from my apartment here in New York.  I made a list about the things I'm going to bring so I don't end up packing up everything. I messaged my bestfriends on fb and updating them that i'm coming back home

Alessandra : Guys! I'm coming back home on 25th!

Ysha : What?! 25th? As in this coming 25th?!

Alessandra : Yeps! I can't wait to see you guys!

Ange : I can't wait na talaga Aly!

Ysha : Finally! May kasama na ako in watching PBA games, watching concerts and in partying na hindi palaging nagrereklamo.

I laughed because I know how much a wild party animal Ysha is. Well actually they're really opposites with Ange. Ange is really the shy type kind, pero once you get to know her she is very loud. Ange loves to read and that's one of the reasons why we really get along together. Then there's Ysha, loves to party and do all crazy things. And that's also one of the reasons why we get along. Just like what they say "I was the combination of the two". Well it's because I love to read and at the same time I also love to party.

Ysha : Oy Aly, alam mo ba, itong si Ange sinama ko lang nanood ng game ng Globalport nagkalove-life na.

Ange: Ay grabe ka! Kapag ba may nagwa-gwapohan may lovelife na?

Ysha : Eh bakit ka niya hinatid? Hahha stop denying it Ange. Hindi naman magagalit si Aly sa'yo pag nalaman niya sino crush mo eh!

Alessandra : Bakit sino ba crush niya? Hahah.

Ysha : Si Taha. Hahaha

Alessandra : Taha? As in my macho-gwapito-childhoodbff Paolo Taha?

YshaOo! Nakakaingit nga eh, ilang years na akong nanood ng PBA pero wala paring basketball player na nagkagusto sa'kin.

Ange: Oy ano ba kayo. Hinatid lang naman ako nung tao.

Tumatawa ako habang binabasa yung conversation namin. Namimiss ko na talaga sila. Maybe going back to Philippines was really a good idea. I just hope i don't run into him.

A/N : How's Chapter 1? :)
