Chapter 1

Summer's POV

3 years.

Nandito ulit ako sa harap ng bahay namin.

To be honest, I'm doing fine there in US for almost 3 years. When I say fine, I meant, good school, good grades, good friends, almost good in everything. Let's say US is the best way to keep mind off her.

At sa 3 years na yun, I become a different person. I'm not the Summer that used to be sweet and friendly. Ngayon, I prefer my circle of friends to be small and they said Im snob and cold.

But I think there's always an exception.

My family and of course, my friends who really knows me.

That day, napaisip ko na I'm being unfair to my parents. Hell, alam ko they can visit me there anytime they like but this time, I want things to be easier on them. They deserve it. They are great parents. They never asked me what happened kung bat bigla biglaan akong nagdesisyon na dun mag-aral ng college sa America. And I'm grateful to that. Kase ako mismo, di ko din alam sasabhin ko, kahit alam ko namang may clue sila bat ako nagkaganto.

They even tried to convince me to come back home, but everytime they ask me that, I always say"I'll think of it"

But today, is different.

I think, 3 years was enough.

I should really come back home.

So I granted their only one wish.

"Iha? Ikaw ba yan?" A man who is in late 40's  breaking  me from my thoughts.

I stared at the man, I smiled when I recognize him. It is Mang Lino, our family driver.

"Mang Lino! Lalo ka atang gumagwapo ah!" I said as I hug him tightly.

"Naku ikaw talagang bata ka, palabiro ka parin. At ang laki laki mo na at lalong gumanda."

"Mang Lino talaga oh, wala naman pong nagbago sakin, maliban nalang sa buhok ko at kulay ng balat ko."  I have paler skin kase sa climate ng US. I changed my hair color into gray. Of course di naman lahat ng buhok ko, hanggang sa kalahting parte lang. Maraming nagsabi na bagay daw sa akin, even my best friend was still look "awe" at me when we face time at that time.

She just found me really cute daw. Cmon! Is that all I've got? Cute? Gusto ko marinig sa kanya ung word na "hot" kase un naririnig ko pag pinag-uusapan ng mga classmates ko ung buhok ko.  Pinagtawanan lang nya ako nun

"Halika iha, pumasok ka na. Anong ginagawa mo dyan sa labas? Tamang tama kakauwi lang din ng Mama at Papa mo" he said as he get all my luggage and open the gate for me.

"Thank you ho. I just want to surprise them kaya di po ako nagpasabi"

"O sya iha, sasabhin ko to kay Rosing para ipagluto ka ng paborito mo, alam kong miss na miss mo na ang mga pagkaing Pinoy." sabi nya at tuluyang binuksan ang pinto ng bahay.

Tuluyan kung iniikot ang paningin ko sa loob ng bahay.

Everything is on their right place.

I smiled.

Kahit alam kung busy si Mom sa trabaho, she always has time to clean the house.

Don't get me wrong. Alam kung importante na maglinis ng bahay, pero we have maids para gawin un. 

Pero sabi lang nya "It's still her job to clean the house".

My mom always amused me.

Speaking of my mom, I started to follow the noise where I think where I can find them.
