When the Stars Collide

Chapter 1

I'm almost done packing my belongings when Thraia enter my room. She's pouting and sad for seeing me packinng my things.

"Are you really going tomorrow? Are you really sure?"

"Yes, Aya. I need to do some business there."

I've been living with Thraia for 5 years and I'll gonna surely miss her. We had each other's back through ups and downs. She helped me a lot lalo na nung naga adjust pa ko dito sa States. I owe her alot.

"Thraia, I'll be back to visit you. I promise."

Sobrang malulungkot siya nito. Wala ng gigising sakanya kapag maaga ang pasok niya. Wala ng sasaway sakanya kapag may mga boylet na gustong ligawan siya. Wala ng magsasabing maligo na siya. Hahaha

"I'll gonna miss you, Ja. Promised yan ah. You'll gonna visit me here."

She keeps on pouting. Ah. I'll gonna miss this baby girl. Hahaha

"I will. Basta yung mga binilin ko sayo ha. Don't be so stubborn. We'll chat and do video calls everyday. Okay? Let's keep in touch."

"Oh. You're phone's vibrating. You answer it na. I'll just go shower."

She gave me a bitter smile. Then walk towards the shower room.

"Hello?"

"Hello. Finally our babe pick her phone already." Then he chuckled.

"I'm sorry. I'm busy packing my things. I didn't notice and my phone is in vibrate mode."

Sa sobrang busy ko, I forgot to check and hold my phone. My poor friend. Hahaha

"So, about what you texted me yesterday Sure ka na ba dun?"

I've texted him yesterday tungkol sa flight at paguwi ko.

"Yes, Jahred. Sure na tomorrow morning ang flight ko. You'll gonna fetch me at the airport, right?"

He initiate to fetch me from the airport. Ah. Kaya love ko to eh. Hahaha

"Oo naman, babe. Text me If what time I should be there." He chuckled.

"What the hell, Red? I said stop calling me 'babe'."

He started calling me 'babe' way back when we were in high school. Bestfriends ko silang dalawa ni Zarrie. He's only calling me 'babe' because he keep on teasing me lalo na sa mga naging boyfriends ko noon na tawagan namen ay 'babe'.

"Did you tell Zarrie that I'll be there for tomorrow already?"

"Nope. Don't worry di ko sinabi."

"That's good then. Iiyak at magwawala talaga yun pag nakita niya ko."

We didn't tell Zarrie, para isu-surprise ko siya. Siguradong akong magwawala yun at magtatampo kunware. Hahaha

"Well then. I need to rest now, Red. You rest now too. I miss you both. See 'ya! I love you, both!"

"Yeah, have a safe flight tomorrow, our dear Jaja. I'm so excited to see you. Take a good rest. We miss you too. We love you too!"

After 5 years of being here in finally I'm coming home. I'm coming back to the Philippines. Kahit hindi alam ano o sinong daratnan ko dun pero ang importante, I am coming home.
