I felt so f*cked up when I got to Slovenia and found them gone, I could not decide what to do, I found my self having shots after shots of alcohol again, until I was so close to being drunk. Then all out of a sudden My phone rang, it was mama calling, I was tempted not to answer it but it's been so long since the last time I talked to mama that I can't resist the urge to answer it. Luckily I did answer it, because had I not, then I will still be stuck in Slovenia, feeling miserable. Though my flight which lasted nearly eighteen hours from Slovenia via Turkey was so miserable too, but I had to bare with it, it's the fastest flight I can get.

As soon as I landed in Manila, I did not bother to be picked up, I took a taxi, I don't remember the last time I rode a taxi in Manila but, with the right price, they can be pretty reliable naman pala. He actually manage to take me to where I want to be, faster than my driver could have take me. Kabisado kasi ng taxi driver ang mga pasikot-sikot sa kung saan-saan, and before I knew it, nasa tapat na kami ng building na sadya ko. I did not bother to go home and shower, I just have to come and see them now, I can't wait for another minute. I just miss them so much I want them in my arms.

When I went in, there are plenty of people and I started to feel ashamed, kasi pinag titinginan nila ako, because I really looked like hell, my last shower was twenty four hours ago and the only thing I manage to do on board was brush my teeth. I couldn't shave, malamang mapagkamalan na akong pirata sa haba ng buhok, bigote at balbas ko, idagdag pang gusot na ang soot kong pang itaas, but since I'm here now, so hindi na ko a attras. I easily spot Mattie's family as I walked towards the front pew and then suddenly a little girl came running out of nowhere and stopped dead on her tracks and looked up at me wide eyed.

"Charlotte." I whispered, she might have read my lips or she might have recognized me even with my beard and long messy hair because she suddenly screamed...

"Daddy!" And run to me.

"Sweetheart!" I said lifting her up and hugging her tight.

"I miss you!" She said, and I felt my chest constricted and I felt my eyes sting. I whispered I missed her too, because that's the truth, miss na miss ko na sya, sila ng kapatid nya, sila ng mommy nila, at ayoko syang bitiwan kasi baka mamaya panaginip lang to at pag gising ko, wala na sya sa mga bisig ko at mag isa nanaman ako.

"Mommy, kuya, Hugo look! Daddy found us yey!" She screamed and turned to look behind her. And as I looked past her, I saw multiple pairs of eyes looking at us. One of them is Louie's standing beside a short haired woman and when she turned around I nearly stopped breathing.

She cut her long hair short! They said when a woman cut her hair she already moved on. Did she already moved on from me? No! I hope not! It can't be, it can't possibly be, ayoko, hindi ako papayag! Sakin lang sya, akin lang!

Na surpresa sa nakitang itsura ni Mitch na napa titig ng husto sa asawa si Indie, katataka ngang nakilala pa ito ni Charlotte sa itsura nito, eh ang layo na ng itsura nito sa picture nitong kasama ang mga bata at sinadya nyang dalhin, just for the children not to forget about him, after all ito parin naman ang tatay ng mga anak nya. Malayong-malayo sa clean shaven, may neat na haircut at mukhang model ng GQ na lalaking pinakasalan nya, bukod doon, halatang-halata ang pagka hulog ng katawan nito at kahit may bigote at balbas, halata rin ang pagka humpak ng mga pisngi nito, huwag ng idagdag ang nanla lalim na mga mata. Walang gustong mag salita na kapwa naka titig na lang sa isat-isa ang dalawa hanggang sa...
