Third Person's POV

"What time is your flight?" Gio asked her over the phone while driving.

"10 in the morning. Susunduin mo ba ko?" Mahinhing tanong ni Niña.

"I will."

"Sige. Ibababa ko na tong phone. Be careful in driving. I love you." Gio can already see her smiling.

"I'll see you tomorrow. I— *tooot*"

Kinabukasan ay maagang dumating ng airport si Gio. Habang naghihintay ay tinawagan siya ng kanyang ina at sinabing doon sa kanilang bahay patuluyin si Niña. Agad namang pumayag si Gio.

Nang marinig niyang dumating na ang flight ng nobya ay tumayo na siya. Ngumiti siya at kumaway nang makita si Niña at ang kapatid na babae nito. Agad siyang nakita ng kapatid ni Niña kaya inalalayan niya ito papalapit kay Gio.

"Nandyan na ba siya?" Niña asked her.

"Kuya!" Bati ni Narion kaya napangiti si Niña. "Ate papalapit na si Kuya Gio." Narion excitedly whispered.

Bahgyang lumayo si Narion mula sa kanyang kapatid. Hinanap naman ni Niña ito ngunit wala siyang mahawakan sa kanyang tabi.

"Nari, where are you? S-Si Gio?" Nagtatakang tanong ni Niña. Napangiti si Gio habang tinititigan siya. Nang hindi na niya matiis ay mahigpit niya itong niyakap.

"I missed you so much." Bulong niya habang yakap pa din ang girlfriend.

"I miss you more, hon." Niña replied.

Pumayag si Niña sa kagustuhan ni Gio na matulog na lamang sila sa iisang kwarto. Si Narion naman ay doon sa guest room. Hindi na bago sa kanilang dalawa ang magtabi sa iisang kama dahil kakagawian na nila ito mula pa noon.

"I'm happy you're okay now. Siguro madedepress ako kapag naghiwalay pa kayo." Gio's mom said. They're currently eating dinner while chatting.

"Yes Tita, me too!" Narion agreed.

"Right, Narion?" Narion nodded repeatedly. "Uh by the way..." Gio's mom turned to him. "Nasa casino ang daddy mo. Hindi ko siya nasabihan na may dinner tayo e. Anyway, let's ditch him enjoy na lang tayo." Biro niya.

"Do you want onions?" Gio asked Niña. Sinusubuan niya ngayon ang girlfriend dahil mahihirapan lamang ito sa kanyang pagkain.

"Yes, please." Niña chuckled sweetly.

Niña is blind, since born. She moved to the States the same time Gio did for his med school. She wanted to be stay beside him even if their schedules are conflicting but their relationship came to the point that they were like strangers.

"Don't worry, Mom. I won't let her go." Gio proudly said and pulled Niña closer to him.

"So how did the eight-year couple work it out? Huh? I still have no idea!" Tanong ni Narion.

"Good question." Gio's mom sat properly, ready to hear his son's answer.

Niña felt Gio holding her hand. She smiled and intertwined their fingers. Tumatawang bumulong sa kanya si Gio. "Sasabihin ko na ba?" Tumawa din si Niña at pinalo pa ang nobyo. "Gusto ko po sana nandito si Solana at Kuya saka si Daddy e."
