"Dad, I want to go home."
It's my 3rd month here in Florida. Still, feeling empty and incomplete. I can't imagine how hard life is without Ashanti. I'm still living with the guilt of leaving her behind. Kailangan kong bumawi, kahit man lang grumaduate ako sa Flight School dito, It's for her.
Halos araw-araw ata kaming nagtatalo ng tatay ko dahil sa kagustuhan kong bumalik ng Pinas. But, he wouldn't allow me. Para niya 'kong kinukulong dito.
Para kay Ashanti.
Life here is not happy as my life there in Philippines. But I'm doing this for our future together. Sana nga tanggapin mo 'ko ulit.

"I'm finally back."
I let out a heavy sigh while looking at the cars here in the 'bays' of the airport. Some are already with their families, some are going home alone and here's me, with my bestfriends.
"Bro, wala pa rin akong balita sa kaniya," Atlas tapped my shoulder. Miguel helped me with my luggages. Nilagay na namin 'to sa compartment ng sasakyan ni Atlas. "Last thing I knew, nasa Pampanga. Currently working sa El Air." Ani Atlas.
"Thank you, bro. Sigurado ba 'yan? El Air is familiar." I looked at Atlas who's driving the car.
Paalis na kami ng airport at pauwi na rin. I decided to stay at my condo for a while.
"Do you know Captain Garcia-Diaz?" Miguel looked at me. "Nabanggit ka niya sakin once. Nag-aapply ako sa El Air."
"I guess, that's my uncle. Kaya pala familiar ang El Air. Madali na lang 'to. Babalik ako ng Pampanga." Sagot ko sa kanila.
"Pano kapag ayaw ka niya don? If she's completely moved-on already?" Miguel asked. Nakikita ko lang si Atlas na tumitingin sakin through the rearview mirror.
"There's nothing wrong about trying and winning her again, dude." Sagot ko kay Miguel. "I want her and her only." I sighed.
"Palaban, ano kaya pinakain sayo ng kapatid ko kaya ka ganyan kabaliw? Himala, wala kang bangas sa mukha ngayon?" Atlas chuckled, still driving.
"Ewan ko. I just love your sister the way it is and yeah, wala. Sinigurado kong pogi ako pagbalik ko dito." I chuckled. "Dad is already calmed down." I shook my head.

"I'm glad you arrived safe, Garcia.."
Finally, I'm here at El Air. Finally, nakita ulit kita.
"Thanks, tito." I greeted Captain Diaz.
"Sanchez, ayos ka lang?" My uncle asked Ashanti who's stunned because I'm back. Still processing in her mind that I'm already here.
