I am sitting beside my daughter here at Busan Train Station. I didn't hide here in South Korea, but I have to make it look like I'm here for more than a year that's why I had to travel this long just to make everything what I told them look surreal. We are waiting for my bestfriends; Sam, Claire and Marien. They will be the ones who will fetch us up here before going back to the Philippines. Finally, after 1 and a half year I finally got the courage to be home.

I still can't get over about what happened. All those memories I last had in there made me shiver. I always have nightmares everytime and woke up in the middle of the night crying while looking at my first born. She is my light on my darkest days. I got my strength in her. She just turned 10 months old a month ago.

An hour had passed and I saw my friends walking in our way. I got the bottle of milk at Selene's when I saw that she's already sleeping. Samantha looked at me with shock on her face, I just smiled at her.

"I-is that h-his?" She asked nervously. There's no point if I'll lie. I stood up and carry my baby as I looked at Sam.

"Yes love, Selene is his child." I answered and flash a smile. I can't say that I'm happy, all I know right now is that my baby is my everything. She is my world.

I kissed Claire and Marien after handing Selene to Samantha. Sam looks so happy carrying the baby. We walked our way out of the train station. Claire, Marien and I talked a lot about how I handled myself without someone with me while I was pregnant.

I didn't notice the time, I was just taken a back when I heard about our take off. Finally, I'm home. After a year and a half, finally. As we got off of the plane, I am the one who's carrying Selene because she's crying. As we got out of the airport, I saw Xynith together with Gelo walking on our way.

As they walk near us, I can see in Xy's eyes that she is mad. I didn't bid my goodbye to them when I left this country. I understand if they are mad, they deserve an explanation after all.

"Finally, you decided to show up, ate." Xy said trying to hide the excitement in her tone. She looked at me and the baby I am carrying. She covered her mouth in shock.

I told her everything when we got in the car. Xy told me that mom and dad will be home after lunch and that she's just with Gelo at home, so definitely I still have lot of time to think what should I tell Mom and Dad. I even have to say sorry to mommy Dette for not letting her explain. I sighed.

After 30mins, we finally arrive at home. The gate is slightly open that's why we all thought that mom and dad are already home. As we get inside the house, different noises welcomed us. My heart started to beat fast and Sam was tensed as well. Xynith opened the door and my mouth formed in 'O' when I saw our friends and my cousins sitting at the living room. As we enter the main door, all eyes were on us.

At first I saw excitement in their eyes, I can sense that they are happy to see me after a long time. But their eyes widened when they saw me carrying a baby. They looked at me with confusion on their faces. I was about to say something when I heard another noises going in our direction. I'm about to look at the direction when Selene cried again which made Samantha tensed more.

"Omggg! Love, your baby, the baby is crying! Omg!" She panicked while holding my hand. I just smiled at her and sang a lullaby to stop her from crying. When I look at my cousins and friends direction again, they are more shock now and before I can react, the face I don't want to see anymore just show up in front of me.

He is here. It's real. What should I do? I was lost of thoughts when I finally hear him say.

"Finally, you are back mi amore." He  said as he leaned closer on my ear.

He let me leave back then, he pushed me away in the times I needed him the most. He let me leave without hearing me out, he let me leave without him accepting our baby. He didn't believe me and chose to believe what he saw that day. Now, today is the day. I'll be now facing again the life I left for a long time and I can't do anything but just deal with it.
