I was at the front door of your condo to get some stuff I left there that I would be needing from my trip. It was the first time for me to be there since you left and it was bittersweet. I was happy that I was still welcomed here but also sad that you won't be there to open the door for me with your bright eyes and radiant smile.

Dean opened the door after a few rings of the doorbell.

"Kuya, kumusta?" He beamed.

"Okay naman. Ikaw?"

"Ayos din. Tuloy ka. Pasensiya na medyo magulo. Nag-eempake kasi ako."

"Nabanggit nga ni Meng. Asahan ko na daw." I chuckled.

"Si Menggay talaga. Sige, Kuya. Sa  kwarto lang ako kung may kailangan ka. Feel at home." He said and left.

Once alone, I looked around and sighed. Home. In a sense this was practically my home back when we were together. Can I still call it that?

I shook my head in hopes of shaking away the sadness that was once again trying to sink in and walked to your room. I just got in when my phone started ringing. It was you on FaceTime. I quickly checked myself on the mirror before answering.

"Hi!" I beamed.

"Uy! You're there na." You answered. "Nakita mo na yung stuff mo?"

"Kakadating ko lang actually. Hindi ko pa tinignan."

"May balak ka na ba mag-shave while you're there. Nasa sink lang yung gamit mo." You said then continued hesitantly. "I... I kept your things where you left them."

I didn't know what to say to that. Instead, a smile automatically drew on my face and it was useless to try to stop it. A second later, I was grinning like a fool and you were stifling a giggle with an adorable little blush on your cheek.

"Bakit naman ako magshe-shave?" I asked after a while.

"Bakit hindi? Hoy! Ang kapal na ng facial hair mo tapos wala kang balak mag-ahit?"

"Wala. Ilang araw ko tong pinatubo ah. Kailangan ko lang naman mag-shave kasi you get rashes on your face when I kiss you. Ngayon di na kailangan." I sighed. "Not for a while."

You were quiet for a while but you kept your eyes on me. "Sabagay, luma na yung pang-shave mo sa banyo ko baka masugatan ka. I'll buy you razors when I come home." You smiled.

"Kailangan ko na ba mag-shave nun?" I grinned and we both knew what I was hinting on.

"Malay mo. Baka." You smirked. "Sige na. I'll leave you to whatever you need to do. Call me pag may kailangan ka pang hanapin. We're heading out na din."

"Sige. I miss you." I blurted out before I could stop myself but I had no plans of taking it back.

I waited in nervous anticipation for your reaction.

"Miss you. Bye." You smiled and waved to your screen then ended the call.

"Ba... Meng, san... Haaay... Tignan mo to. Tinakasan na naman ako." I chuckled. "Sasagot lang naman ako ng Ingat ka diyan, hindi pa ako magpo-propose ng kasal ulit." I shook my head as I placed my phone in my pocket and looked at our pictures on your wall, froze images of our happy time together. "Hindi pa. Bukas na lang." I grinned at my own silly thoughts.
