Hana woke up to the sound of something tapping at her second floor window. Turning her head to look at the window, as she was getting out of bed.

Pulling back the curtains just enough to see the series of pebbles hit the glass, Hana rolled her eyes and pulling on her zip up hoodie, as she ran downstairs:

Of course it's raining. Hana thought, as she steps out the patio.

Guita was standing out soaked in rainwater, streaks of tears on her face.

"You do know that if you keep that up, you're gonna wake my parents up?" Hana calls out.

Guita ran to her friend. "You were right!" Guita sobbed, "I saw him with his family at the beach and he even thanked me..." Guita started hyperventilating, "For- for put- putting hi- his fam- family back!"

Hana silently nodded and offered to get out of the rain. As they walked in the kitchen, Hana opened the fridge. "Can I get you anything?"

Guita shook her head, "I'm such a moron, how did I not think that this could backfire? I should've listened to you."

Hana shut the fridge close as she leaned against it with a plate of tiramisu cake in her hands. She cut out a piece, placed it on a saucer, and put back the cake in the fridge. "Have you talked to your lola, yet?"

"I don't know what to say..." Guita admitted, "I mean two weeks we were gone. How would I explain that? Where do I even begin?"

"How about 'Hey, I'm back'?" Hana asked with a hint of amusement in her tone, "It's nine simple letters that you can text her..."

"At pag sumagot?" Guita asked.

"Then reply back or don't..." Hana sighs, "It's up to you. As for how to explain it, just tell her. I mean its not like she won't believe you, throughout our whole life going to a different dimension was bound to happen."

"I'm not talking about that," Guita frowns, "what if she thinks I eloped?"

"With Dick?!" Hana laughed.

"His name is Richard." Guita corrected, "But yes, Richard is a married man..."

Hana swallows, "So... it's not like Lola Maria would ever think you actually fooled around with a married man..."

"I didn't sleep with him!" Guita sighs.

"I believe you..." Hana nods.

"Really?"

"Of course, I do." Hana sighs, "I've known you for more than a decade. I know that no matter how hurt you are, there are lines you wouldn't cross..."

"You think Lola would believe me?"

"Well, if she doesn't it's her loss." Hana smiles, "And you said I should apologize..."

"Well," Nico walk towards her sister and grabs the fork and eats a piece of cake, "I was wrong. But seriously, would you rather be right or the bigger person?"

"Right." Hana admitted.

Nico chuckles, "Well, that explains why mother is the one to apologize..."

"She's tiny so I just let her be the bigger person..." Hana shrugs. "So, why are you up?"

Nico shrugs, "I was texting Karolina..."

"Aww! Young love." Guita sighed.

Hana chuckles, "What do you know about young love?"

"Can I stay here, for tonight?" Guita asked.

"Depends..." Tina sighs as she and Robert walked down the stairs.

"Oh did we wake you, two?" Guita looked apologetically.

"We're sorry." Nico breathed out.

Robert looks at Hana, "She's not."

Hana smirks, "No, dad, I am."

Tina walked closer to her daughter, "You're what?"

Hana took a deep breath and crossed her arms, "I'm s- s-"

"Oh come on," Tina looks up at her daughter, "its only five letters..."

"so- so-" Hana breaths.

"Three more letters, honey." Robert encouraged.

Hana put her hands to her sides, "This is ridiculous!"

Nico laughs, "Enough! I much rather hear her say, 'I love you' to mom..." Tina turns around shocked, as Nico grins, "Aren't you a bit curious if your favorite daughter actually loves you?"

Hana looks at her parents, "I lava you."
