I'm Jaslene Bernardez, I once had a crush on my bestfriend named Al Raphael Garcia. He's charming and all that friendly, and he's always there when I need him through tough times. I thought of following him to the same school would make me see more of him and much better, having a love relationship with him.

Until this man came, named Zacharias Coleman to mess up with my life. He's serious, blunt, and grumpy but never fails to make me happy. I never expected that the time would come when I realize that I was already falling inlove with him.

But then, everything changes...

"Flight 534 to Spain is now boarding."

I walked across the airport and strolled with my luggage. I'm now an International Marketing Manager. I've been traveling to several countries all over the world to do promotion and marketing campaigns. I am happy and contented of what I have right now, despite of all the hardships in the past. Yet, I still managed to climb up the social ladder and made it up through where I am today.

"Jas!" Raph called at sinalubong ako ng yakap.

"Raph," I said between our hugs. He came here para sunduin ako. Kakarating ko lang ulit sa Pililinas matapos ang business trip ko.

He cupped my face. "I missed you."

I smiled at him. "I missed you too."

"Mami!" 

I looked down and noticed Rafaella, holding the hem of my shirt. Aw, she's such a cute little girl.

"Baby, did you miss mami?"

"Yes, mami and dad too!"

I crinkled my nose as I pinch her rosy red cheeks.

"Mami, do you have pasalubong for me?"

"Of course baby, I'll give them to you when we get back home, okay?

"Yehey! Let's go home!" she jumped in excitement holding my hand and Raph's.

Raph carried her and took a look at me, we smiled back at each other. We continued walking para pumunta na sa parking lot, until something caught my eyes.

I stopped and looked at him, standing meters away from me. He has changed a lot. From his hair down to his feet. It's been years. We were staring at each others eyes, reminiscing of what we had in the past.

It's Zacharias Coleman, my ex-boyfriend.

Napansin ni Raph ang paghinto ko. Nakita niya rin ata siya. What is he doing here? I thought 'di na siya babalik pa? O baka naman namamalik mata lang ako?

"Jas, are we going or not?" lingon sakin ni Raph.

Iniwas ko ang tingin ko sa kanya at tumigin kay Raph. "Let's go."

I've only loved two guys in my life. But who do I choose, when they left me in the first place?
