Samantha finally pulled in front of me. I stood up and pulled the two luggage I've decided to bring with me

"Took you long enough." I uttered as I pulled the passengers' door open and swing my hand carry bag on the front seat. I then opened the second seat door and pulled my luggages inside.

Once I was settled inside Samantha's car, I pulled her into a tight hug. I've missed my cousin.

"Finally I have company!" She remarked as she drove out of the airport and on the road to her flat. 

5 Years Ago

I ignored my phone the entire time until we went out for dinner. I specifically requested a Nando's dinner because we all know how famous this restaurant is in the community.  They were hesitating but gave in anyway.  Back then I didn't know why they were hesitating, now I know why. Their food didn't go par with the Filipino food that I grew up having. Not that they were awful, it was just not our cup of tea.

But I was in the moment, eating the famous Nando's chicken. I decided to pull out my phone to share a story of the food we are having! I had Perry 2x chicken. Both Scarlet and Samantha went with carbonara. As I was about to unlock my phone, I couldn't unlock it. I tried again but my passcode didn't match for some reason. And in that moment I noticed that the lock screen was not my lock screen. I flipped the phone back and noticed that the case was matte black, polar opposite of my rainbow case.

"This is not my phone." I blurted out!

Samantha and Scarlet both tried to take the phone off my hand.  I had a strong grip around it but they didn't stop from yanking it out of my hand.  I was only able to loosen my grip to it when it finally clicked to me.

"That guy calling me so much earlier was referring to me as Liam." I said to them. "This must be his and he didn't know he lost it yet." I added and then realized something else. Where is my phone?

I calmed down and finished my meal as fast as I can so we can leave and start looking for my phone. We got to the AirBnB and searched the entire place for my phone. Every nook and cranny but to no avail, no phone was found.

Samantha decided to dial my phone, hoping that someone would pick up. It took a few more rings before it went to voice mail.

I gave up and collapsed on the couch. If it went to voice mail, there is a possibility that my phone is still alive but with someone else.

"Cous, let's just rest for the night and look for it tomorrow. Maybe the person who found it is asleep already." I said and went to my room and just went to bed without even changing my outside clothes with pajamas.

I was awaken by a loud banging on my door. I quickly stood and rushed to open the door and found my two cousins holding up the strangers phone. And on the screen was the caller Louis.

"He called again." Scarlet mouthed.

They handed me the phone and I just answered it knowing my morning voice would crack later on.

"Hello?" I said and just right there my voice cracked. I looked at Samantha and Scarlet and they both were holding back their laughter.

"Hello?" I pulled the phone away from my ear. The call was in speakers. "You might have my friend's phone." The person, Louis, added.

"I believe so. How can we return it?" I said. "And by any chance, is my phone with your friend?" I decided to ask it even if the chances may be slim.
