BLAKE'S POV

It took me 2 years after the funeral of my son and leaving San Francisco. I make sure that I am fully healed before I go back to where my real home is.



"Dre!" Carl waved his hand and raised the signboard they prepare. My other friends are at his back.



"What's up. What's up!" si Lucas na sinalubong ako para tulungan ako sa mga dala kong bagahe.



"How are you guys!" we had a group hug.



"Muntik na kitang hindi makilala, kala ko ibang tao ka na," sabi ni Carl.



"Ako pa rin 'to Carl."



Dinaanan namin ang unang branch ng restaurant na pinagawa ko rito sa pilipinas. Silang tatlo ang pinagkatiwalaan ko, hindi ko nagkamali at maasahan talaga sila.



"We made sure na malapit ka sa kanya," sabi ni Lucas na nasa gilid ko.



"Eto rin pala yung susi mo sa bago mong condo. Saktong-sakto kasi kakaalis lang nung katabi nilang unit." Si James.



I get the keys from him, "Thanks, guys."



Nilibot ko ang buong paningin ko sa bagong tayo na restaurant. This is perfect to start again... To start to get close to her.



"Dinner tayo once na magbukas na ang restaurant. I'll invite them," Carl said.



"Sure, that would be a great idea." pabiro nila akong sinisiko.



"Shut up," I said and shooked my head.



"Kunwari ka pa!" sabi ni Carl.



Inilingan ko nalang siya at tinignan ang office ng restaurant. Sakto lang ang laki nun para sa akin, I was wondering if I should be chef here or the boss.



"Thank you ulit." Pasasalamat ko sa kanila.



I guess I have to go home first. Not my mom and dad know that I'm already here, I wanted to surprise them.



I was walking down the hallway when I heard them in the dining area. I didn't expect that Ate and her family will be here.



"Am I late for the dinner?" I get their attention.



They gaze at me and their eyes widened. I saw Miguel's jaw drop, they all looked surprised to see me.



"What? Hindi niyo ba ako sasalubungin?" I said.



Tumayo si Ate na may pagkamalaki na ang tiyan. I saw my nephew Jason sitting on his daddy's lap.
