Got to Believe in Magic

Chapter 13 : Two Years

Sachii came back from Italy 11 days after... It was a fun day sunday when she arrived at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. With her far sighted eyes, she already saw her family waving their hands as thay saw her.

Go... I really miss them so much!

She didn't waste time standing there ---- she eagerly ran into them and hug them.. For her, her 11 days are like 11 years.. Everytime she remember the happenings, it always makes her cry.

Heading home, one by one.... detail by detail, she share her experiences from the first day up to the time that she is walking on the hallway heading back. But, there are two happenings that she remained secret. The moment when she met Riku and Kento. Most especially Kento -- her parents might kill her if they found out what happened.

Her parents got angry at her ---

"Why you didn't told us that your baggage was left? What if something really happened to you there? What if you were scammed and you do not have money?" Over worried Marilyn asked.

"Mom, stop being so overreacting!" Marco said.

"I--- I heard some news about Dad's health so I decided not to tell you since I found my ways..." Sachii explained feeling that her tongue is moving backwards.

"You shouldn't worry about me... What if those abusive gals do something bad to you?" Renato entered. He also feels bad and frustrated about his daughter's decision. "It is really different now...."

But, for her what she did is right. She believes on it.. Didn't everyone tell her that she must enjoy her stay? She really want to go home but its them who forced her to stay longer --- to be an adventurer of themselves. But, instead of explaining to them, she just shut herself up and apologize to them.

She made her homecoming secret to more people. She doesn't want them to know the reason why she came back too early. 

When they arrived at home, Tita Lita, their house chef prepared Sachii's favorite dish --karekare..

"Tita Lita! I miss your dish! So much!" She said even though her mouth is full of food.

"You look thin.." Tita Lita responsed. "Did you eat well when you're there?" She added.

Sachii looked at her family, who also realized that she got thin. Everybody looks at her. And their faces are like saying what happened? Is there something that we must know?

While her spoon is on her mouth, she just laughed at them. Reconstructing the question of Tita Lita. "Tita.. How can I eat well?? It is made of rocks and it doesn't taste so good."

(Sachii refers to the well that is used to store water.)

It seems like she shifted her family's thoughts about her to the idea of well. Everybody just laughed and praised her for saying that.

After resting for hours, she checked her phone and view the pictures there... On her pictures with Nero, she always keep on laughing on their wacky pictures. While reminiscing their moments together.

Sister!!

How I wish I can see you once again, sisterly. She told herself. When she saw the next photo, she eagerly changed the photo. It was only millisecond.. But, why did it made her breathe really hard? She want to return to the photo that she saw less than a blink of her eye. But, at the same time she's afraid too. Thinking........... Thinking....... if she touch the screen to the left, it means that she wants to see the photo back. But, if at the right side, she wants to see more photos and probably, the next would be that person's photo too.
