Circle of Love

The Home Coming

Finally! After 4 years and 3 months eh makaka uwi n ko. Excited na ko grabeh. Buti na lang at maganda pwesto ko, tabi ng bintana. Kasalukuyan nga palang lulan ako ng eroplanong magdadala sa akin pabalik sa aking lupang sinilangan. Seat belt on! Hoods on! I'm ready to sleep. Mahaba habang tulugan from L.A to Pinas.

Zzzzz..

"Haaaay! Sarap matulog" nakabawi bawi ako ng tulog ah. Masyado kasi akong excited kaya nagising ako ng 1 am kahit 5 am pa ang flight ko. Ako nga pala si Alicia Loraine Pascual 25 years old. Nagtapos sa kursong Accountancy, isang Certified Public Accountant. Nagpunta ko sa L.A for my continuing education at the same time eh nagwork ako sa isang malaking kumpanya. Pero pinili kong bumalik sa Pinas dahil sobrang hirap ng mag isa tapos sobrang lamig pa pag winter. Hahaa

"Pinoy ka pala?" Napalingon ako sa kanan at di ko namalayang lalaki pala katabi ko.

"Ah oo" maikling sagot ko dahil mejo di ko ineexpect na kakausapin ako nito. Pero infairness may itsura si kuya.

"Siguro sanay ka nang matulog pag may byahe ka? Ang haba kasi ng tulog mo. 20 mins. na lang siguro lalapag na tong eroplano."

"Sobrang inaantok lang talaga ko." Sabay tingin sa wrist watch ko. Mejo matanong ata tong katabi ko.

"Do you know the story about the circle?" Tanong nya ulit

"Well, I guess, I never heard about it" pero mejo nacurious ako sa kung anong meron sa circle.

"There is a circle na may missing part. To find it, the circle keep on rolling and running. The circle run and run until the circle met the first triangle. They tried if they will fit together.but the triangle was too big to fit the missing part. Then they go separate ways. The circle kept on running. It then met the second triangle. The second triangle was too small to fit the missing part. So the two part ways. The circle keep on running as it hopes to find the missing part. It then met the third triangle. They fit perfectly together. The two decided to live together. But as time goes by, as they roll and run, some part of the circle chipped away. The third triangle no longer fits the missing part. They part ways. The circle continuously run. And again it met the first triangle. The two tried if they will fit. This time the first triangle that was too big, perfectly matched the missing part of the circle. The two lived together and stayed together forever."

"Wow! I hope I'll meet my perfect match just like that circle." His story was quite interesting.

"I got that story from watching "Hormones". Isang Thai drama series."

"Haha kala ko naman based from experience. Pero ganda nung story. Thanks for sharing!"

"Mabuhay! Welcome to the Philippines!" Sabi nung mga flight stewards. Di ko namalayan na nasa Pinas na pala ko.

Nagsimula nang magsitayuan yung iba pang passengers. Pati na yung katabi ko. He smiled and waved his hands.

"Bye!" I also my good bye with a smile.

"Ateee! Ate Alicia!" Sigaw sabay kaway ni Janice. Pinsan kong sobrang luka.

"Kita na kita nung nasa eroplano pa lang ako. Para ka namang tagabundok eh." Asar ko sa kanya.

"Haha atee namiss kita." At niyakap nia ako hanggang sa malagutan ako ng hininga.

"Namiss din kita. Sina mommy and daddy asan?" Tanong ko

"Busy sila pati si kuya James nasa bussiness trip. Andito naman ako no."

"At sino naman to. Jowa-ers?"

"Oo ate mainggit ka. Si Micco nga pala."

"Hi! Hiwalayan mo na lang pinsan ko pag sawa ka na haha. Joke lang" at nagtawanan kami.

Habang sakay sa sasakyan. Naalala ko yung lalaki sa eroplano. Di ko pala natanong pangalan niya. Sayang

"Para kaming yung circle at triangle." Kaya nga lang di namin natry kung we will both fit. Haha

"Anong pinagsasasabi mo jan ha ate?" Tanong ni Alicia

"Wala!"

"Andito na tayo ate." Sabi ni Janice

"May nakatira pa ba sa bahay na to? Bahay ba namin to? Naputulan ba kami ng kuryente at wala man lang nakabukas na ilaw sa bahay?"

"Hahaa ate pumasok na lang tayo sa loob para makuha ko na pasalubong ko." Janice.

Pagbukas ko ng pinto. Biglang nagbukas ang ilaw. And I'm so surprised na they prepared a surprise homecoming party. My mom, dad and kuya James are all here. Pati na yung mga friends at kamag anak namin.

"Welcome back Alicia! We missed you!" Sabay sabay nilang sinigaw

"Thanks sa inyong lahat." They all hugged me tightly. And I burst into tears.

I'm so glad to be back!
