Here we are right infront the place we were dreaming of. Its our home. Home. All of my childhood memories came down pusing each other struggling to be the first one to pop up.

But a lot of them were not clear.

I ignored them all. I was trying hard not to cry. But it didnt work. It was happy tears.

My Mum was already walking towards the door of the house. I got out of the car and stood like a mannequin not moving at all.

I was just too nervous.

Mum rang the door bell. My Aunt whispered good luck to me and she drove off dissappearing in a minute.

My heart was pounding faster than ever.

I was too excited to look at my Dad! My brother!

Talking about my brother, I wonder how he looks like. I wonder how puberty hit him..(?)

I was whispering to myself until I heard the main door click.

A white man with spectacles and a glass of juice in his hand. He opened the door with a smile but the smile faded away when he saw Mum.

"Jane?!" He said.

He dropped the glass he was holding without thinking that it would be mess on the floor. He quickly hugged my Mum and started crying.

I just stood at the exact spot where my Aunt left me and just stared at both of my parents.

My tears came down rolling on my cheeks and then to my chin.

It was too beatiful.

"Who is that young lady over there?" Asked Dad. "Is that?!" My dad said softly with his hand covering his mouth in shock.

"Yes. That's her. Jessica." Replied my Mum.

He ran towards me and hugged so tight that i could barely breathe.

But I was still wondering.

Where's Jonah?
Where?! I need to see him.

I talked to myself.

So we got inside and everything was totally different. But that did not affect the memories in my house.

We talked for a few minutes and then my Mum and I went to clean ourselves.

It was time dinner.

"I think we should go out for dinner. The restaurant we used to go" he smiled to Mum.

"But what about Jonah?" Asked my Mum.

I wanna see Jonah so bad!

I put on my favorite dress and went downstairs to look for my Mum.

I heard sime giggling and laughing at the living room as I went down stairs.

I was so curious to know.

It was a guy's voice. Who is it?

As i went down, I saw a tall guy sitting next to Mum, talking like they were best friends that didnt meet each other for ages.

I purposedly cleared my throat so loud that all of em ; Dad,Mum, and the guy. The guy looked so familiar. So familiar.

I was staring at him for so long.

I was waiting for my parents to explain or introduce or something but the did not do so.

"So..Um, hello there." I said awkwardly.

He was looking confusely at me.

I was confused as well.

"Dad..?" I said while raising my eyebrows.

"What?" He said.

I rolled my eyes and went to Mum and whispered, "Who is this guy? Why does he look so familiar? Why are we still here? I thought we were supposed to go out for dinner? And where's my brother? Why is he not here?".

I was so impatient.

Too curious.

Too many questions in my head.
