"Kaya ko to" I said as I return to our hotel cr here in cebu. Nagsalamin lang ako.

6am ang flight namin and its already 4:45 am. Baka kasi traffic pa, and para makapag check in ng mas maaga.

"Ready ka na Ji?" Sabi ni Karen saakin.

"Yeah, sunod na ako sa lobby. Check ko ulit kung may nakalimutan tayo" sabi ko naman sakanya.

"Okay, dalian mo lang. Hahaha baka magdrama ka pa" she blurted as she closed the door.

Mag popost sana ako ng view ng hotel kasi nasa 13th floor kami,

perfect sunset sana, kaso isang notification ang bumungad saakin.

@beadel_: liked your photo 16minutes ago.

And yung picture na ni-like niya is our last lunch date, before yung gabi na nagpa-bago sa lahat.

I mean, hindi kasi ako ung taong showy pagdating sa social media accts.

Napaisip naman ako, like lang naman to diba? Tsaka she has a girlfriend no, I mean with that kind of attitude of her's, it's impossible na manloloko lang siya.

Bat ba ang defensive ko?

Napatigil naman ako ng makita ko ang oras.

-ting

Pagbukas na pagbukas ng elevator,
Napatingin sila saakin.

"Ay Mich, ilike mo nga yung picture ko"

"Oo nga ako nga din Jesy"

"Mga sira kayo, baka nag-hang lang yung phone nun"

"Wow, apple naghahang?" Banat ni Doms.

Nagtawanan nanaman ang loko.

Dumating na ang van nasasakyan namin papuntang airport.

As I closed the sliding door ng van, napatingin ako sa hotel,

I surely miss this place, marami akong natutunan at itre-treasure ko to forever.

Bea's

I woke up around 5:40 am. Napasarap yung tulog ko kagabi dahil na siguro sa excitement. Nag-ayos naman ako ng condo. Kasi mga 1 week pa magstay dito si Jho before going sa Batangas; which is her hometown.

I received her call around 7:45 na naglanding na daw yung plane. At hinihintay na lang daw yung mga baggage nila.

As I touch yung button ng end call, biglang nag-hang yung phone and diba nasa Ig acct ni Jia kagabi yun? I accidentally touch it many times. So na-like yung picture naming dalawa.

"Oh shit!"

Narealize ko kasi na baka makita ni Jho.

Once in a blue moon lang kasi nagpopost si Jia. Hindi siya masyafong showy. Pero mas mararamdaman mo siya personally.

I fight the urge to unlike it, baka kasi may masabi siyang, gusto ko ulit siya ganun and baka may balak pa akong bumalik, and if that happens. Malaking gulo ang dala nito.

On the other side, mamaya may masabi pa siya na, masyadong guilty kaya pinabayaan ko na lang.

I came back to my senses when, my phone vibrated. Nandito na ako sa may airport. Yep, sa sasakyan ako nag-iisip. But don't worry I can manage to drive safe naman.

"Babe, I see you" she told me on messenger. Nagmadali akong tanggalin yung sunglasses ko.

And in that moment, as she flip her hair, I already​ know who she is.

Nagslow-motion ang lahat, pumunta na ako kaagad sakanya and niyakap ko siya. We took minutes in that position.

"Hmm" I smelled her hair.

"I miss this" I kissed her forehead

"And this" I kissed her nose

"This" I kissed her left cheek

"Also this" I kissed her right cheek.

"And siyempre, I miss you babe" and I kissed her lips.

Siyempre bumawi ba naman para sa isang taon na wala yung mahal mo diba?

After that, we stayed at the waiting area, hinihintay namin yung sasakyan ng mga kasama niya. Well, siyempre Jho will be joining be already.

"Ah..babe si Maddie" turo niya sa matangkad na babae, pero parang ka-height ko lang  na maputi.

"Si Deanna" normal na height ng babaeng athlete. Maputi din

"Si Kuya Mac" lalaking medj maitim na chubby.

"Ah..eh. Hello, Bea de Leon guys" sabi ko sakanila at isa isang nag shake hands and beso.

After minutes of waiting, nagkwento muna si Jho about their stay their.

"..alam mo ba, muntik ng naiwan ako ng golf cart, kasi yung parang hotel namon is, villa siya. Sobrang kabado ako nun"

"..tapos, Deanna ate a raw food! Hahaha, masyadong nagutom sa buffet, and yun"

"Looks like, you enjoyed Japan huh. Di mo man lang yata ako namiss" I said in reply.

"Ano kaba, everyday, walang day na hindi kita inisip no. Lalo na yung size ng tshirt mo, sapatos at iba pa." Kwento niya

"Nung first month ko nga don, I immediately bought yung New Era Cap mo na may "B" kahit di yon original para di lang ako ma-home sick sayo" sabi naman niya.

"Your so sweet naman, Oh ayan na pala yung sasakyan" sabi ko and tinulungan yung iba.

"Okay,guys text niyo na lang ako okay?" Sabi naman ni Jho.

"Okay.." sabi naman nila.

"Wait for me here, I'm going to get the car. Dyan ka lang" I told her.

Immidiately I ran as fast​ as I can.

"Give me the bags"

"Oh, this is heavy"

"There you go, as I close the trunk of my car".

"Lets go?" I asked her.

"Yeah" she said and yawn.

"Haba naman nun babe" I laughed.

"Yeah, I missed you so much eh, and longing for a all day rest. What do ya think?" She asked me, with wiggling eyes.

"Yeah, sure. Nandito ka na. Why not" I said.

We stayed that way almost of the drive.

Then I saw her silently sleeping.

I know she's tired.

I sighed as I saw the traffic ahead us.




I know too to myself that, there's only one person came running in my mind.

"Babe we're here"
