Claudette's POV

Many of us want to think of a way to make our lives right. I made a mistake of blaming myself, on what happened to my friend, I forgot that my family was there to support me through my troubles, I forgot that the only people that I can see when I turn my back against life, was my family...

I managed to pursue a career here in New York, as a nurse, my life was is in place thanks to them. I managed to move on from what happened in the past, life has taught me not to dwell on them to mold my future.

I'm on my shift opening my patient's chart, Multiple Fracture secondary to vehicular accident. I made interventions about my patient's diagnosis.

The TV here in our station just got my attention when I heard, Lea's name. They said she arrived in the Philippines and planning to pursue her board exam in the there.

That's great for her, I'm glad that she's returning back home. That news just gave me the will to go back. After all, I miss my family, I miss my friends, especially Lea, my best friend.

(Calling.... Centy)

Huh?

Centy called....

"Hello? Cent? Ba't ka tumawag? Nasa Pilipinas kana?"

"Hello Claudette? Oo andito na ako, Pwedi mo ba akong tulungan? I just want someone to support in getting my brother, legal parents na pala niya sina Tita Amalia, hindi ko alam kung papano ko siya babawiin" -Centy

"Medyo mahirap din para sa kanya na sumama sayo, all those years hindi ka na niya nakita, at possibleng hindi ka na niya makikilala, alam na ba ni Lea na yun... buhay ka."

"Ummm, hindi eh..." -Centy

"Actually I had plans in going home, hindi mo lang kinakailangan yung tulong ko, kinakailangan mo rin yung tulong ni Lea, siya na yung kinikilalang kapatid ni Mark."

"Hmmm, may point ka..." -Centy

"Kailangan ko ng magtrabaho Cent, huwag kang mag-alala, tutulungan kita, uuwi ako ng Pilipinas."

"Sige, dette, Thank you! Bye" -Centy

"Bye."

Mukhang binibigyan ako ng signs na dapat uuwi ako. I think I must go home as soon as possible.

After my shift, I went home, opened my laptop and booked a flight to Manila.

Don't worry guys, I'll be back, I'm Almost home!

Centy's POV

Seeing familiar sights... Thinking about someone every night... When I lost all of the light... I managed to bring back my might...

Inside the car... I was thinking... what if he'll see me... what if... he already forgotten about me...

?!?!?!?!

That person inside that car...

It's.....

Him....

"Manong, pwedi mo bang sundan yang sasakyan na yan, yung White Fortuner."

The driver just nodded on my request...

I'm sorry if I had to hurt myself... I just want to know how his life is going... without me... Did he moved on? Did he really married Cheska? Or.....

Did he....

Forgotten about me?

My driver got a trace on how his car is going... until the car stopped....

The same house... where my life broke... the same house... where I see him everyday...
