Emily’s P.O.V

“Sweetie , you don’t remember who Zach is?”

Mom tapped my shoulders and whispers as Zach sat next to me. I looked at Zach as he did the same then he smiled but I shook my head right away. I don’t want to be rude to him. it’s just that I feel some kind of awkwardness between us.

“I really don’t” I whispered to mom

“Really? You two were like best friends until Zach has to go to another country” Mom looks at me to Zach and rubs Zach’s shoulder

“I’m sorry I had to leave then tita(auntie). It’s just that my parents decide everything for themselves” Zach rolls his eyes.

“Well atleast we met you here and that’s a good thing” Dad smiles

“Oh, I should go back to work now. Or else my boss will be mad again” Zach rolls his eyes to a chef that’s preparing some kind of roasted chicken.

“Are you free later evening?” Grandpa beams

“Yeah. Why?”

“Would you like to join us for dinner later at the hotel?” Mom clasped her hands together

“Sure. That would be great. I also ask my parents if they would come” Zach nods

“We can’t wait to spend time with you again Zach, especially Emily” Dad smiles from Zach to me but i looked down instead.

I suddenly look at Harry while he gives me a “who is he” look. I shrugged my shoulders and he looks away. I looked at Gemma too and she also gave me the same look.

All I know is that Zach used to be my childhood friend.. maybe when I was baby because I can’t even remember him being my best friend then.

“So see you later” Zach smiles and nods his head to all of us.

Zach went back to work as the chef raised his arms with a panicked look while Zach apologized and got a paper and pen and went to get the customer’s orders.

“He’s a good lad” Grandpa smiles

“yeah he is” Dad chuckles

“So who is this Zach exactly?” Anne cleared her voice

“Oh his parents used to come over to our house and let Zach play with Emily here. But they suddenly want to go to London because his mother is one of those OFW (overseas Filipino workers)” Mom answers

“That’s too bad.. But it’s a good thing that we picked this place for lunch.. or else you guys wouldn’t have seen him”

“Yeah.. and thanks for bringing us here Anne” Mom smiles

“No problem” Anne smiled back

“Can Emily come with us for dinner tonight? I mean, not to be the boss or anything.. it’s just that it’ll be nice if my family’s complete later for a little reunion”

“Oh sure it’s not a problem for us. We can manage without Emily for the night” Anne smiles while Harry looks at her surprisingly but he shook his head and gets his phone instead.

“Thank you very much” Dad smiles

“No problem at all” Anne nodded

Minutes passed by as Grandpa told his stories when he used to live here in London. Anne and Gemma were really amused and I was glad to see that. I keep on looking at Harry and I don’t know why but ever since Zach came awhile ago, he keeps on looking at his phone and was quiet. He was listening to my grandpa too but he was just.. quiet.
