After naming mag kwentuhan ni Clio ay umuwi na kami. Katabi lang kase nang bahay namin yung kanila. We're childhood best friends before.

"Dad will be happy to see you again. Wala syang kalaro mag chess e." I told him while we're walking.

Dad and him are really close. For Dad, Clio is the best man for me. Our story was a fairytale back then. I can't help but to feel sad.

Because of me nalayo si Clio sa family nya dahil mas pinili nyang sa ibang bansa magaral. His parents are here kahit nung umalis sya. I don't know if his parents knew the real reason why we broke up. But in my case, I told them the truth. My Dad talked to Clio for sure. Pero hindi sila nakialam.

My parents wants me to be responsible for every decision in my life.

"I missed them too. I hope tito can beat me now." Natatawang sabi nya. Dad never beats him at chess. Kaya bilib talaga si Dad sakanya.

"You should say Hi. Come, I know Dad is still here." I told him pagdating namin sa tapat nang bahay

"Uhmm.. Sure!"

"Oh my gosh! Clio is that you?!" Tawag ni mommy pagdating namin sa sala.

Oo nga pala, Dayoff nila today. My parents always try to take an off pag weekends. They always try to have time for me.

"Clio my man! How are you!" Sabi ni Daddy at pareho silang lumapit samin.

Natatawa nalang ako dahil halos hindi makahinga si Clio dahil sa yakap nilang dalawa.

"Mom! Dad! Ako kaya anak nyo." I said while rolling my eyes at them pero nakangiti

"We just missed this boy so much." Sabi ni Mommy pagkatapos nang group hug nila.

Napailing nalang ako.

Umupo kami sa sala at nagkwentuhan naman sila. Ang saya lang nila tingnan. Clio did steal my parents heart.

"You know what? Let's play chess! I've been waiting for my chess partner." Dad said at kinuha yung chess board sa ilalim nang table.

"Can you beat me now tito?" mayabang na sabi ni Clio.

"Of course! I've been practicing for this day."

At nag start na nga silang maglaro.

"Come baby let's cook lunch." sabi ni Mommy.

"Okay, but I'll just change clothes."

At umakyat nako.

I remember this. Ganito kami dati every dayoff nila mommy. Dito tatambay si Clio, maglalaro sila ni Dad while me and Mom will ready the food.

Then mag movie marathon kami sa movie room with my parents. Double date. Tapos pag hapon gagala kami ni Clio. I was really happy back then. Feeling ko that time kumpleto na. I'm contented.

After ko mag bihis ay bumaba nako. Nakita ko pang nagyayabangan sila Daddy habang naglalaro.

Naiiling nalang akong pumunta sa kusina para tulungan si Mommy.

"What do you think about Clio?"

"Hmmm?"

"You know.. Do you still love him?"
