It's been a long year since I left the country. I was not able to continue my studies in the Philippines. We moved to another country to continue my studies there. It was a bit depressing because I really had to adjust and their environment was new to me. But thank god I was able to do it. I graduated Magna Cum Laude and was not lucky enough to be able to work in a firm because I was the one who's handling our companies now.
It was difficult at first but because I had the best ate-mommy, I was able to handle it smoothly.
But last year I really couldn't take it anymore. Handling companies is not my thing. I tried but I failed.
I always just hang around here at home so I decided to visit the Philippines to check the things I left behind.
In short, mga pagmamay-ari ko.
In a bit, lalapag na ang eroplanong sinasakyan ko. Tumayo ako para mag-CR sana when someone bumped on me.
Tumaas yung kilay ko kasi sobrang lakas ng impact ng pagkakabangga niya sa shoulders ko.
"Aw! Hindi ka ba tumiti-" Naputol ako sa sasabihin ko nang tumili siya.
"OMG! Zielle Bautista, right?" Kinikilig na sambit nito.
I looked at her weirdly.
"Uhm...yeah?" I replied confused.
Kilala niya 'ko, pero siya hindi ko kilala. Nice!
"Oh gosh! Ikaw ngaaaa!"
"Uhm, may I know who am I talking to?"
"I guess you don't know me nor recognize me but we're actually studying at the same school way back college. If you can still remember, I was the one who sent you the poem online." Kinikilig pa rin ito at tila nagiging puso na ang mga mata habang nakatingin sa akin.
"Oh, yeah. I remember now." Siya pala yung nag-send nun sa 'kin before. It's when someone left me in her office and broke my phone just because of jealousy. How crazy love can make us.
At talagang sumabay pa siya sa akin hanggang sa airport. She even approached me na sumabay na sa kanya pero umayaw ako kasi nga baka magtampo si ate-mommy, e napag-usapan naming susunduin niya ako.
So she already texted me na maghintay na muna ako a minute and she'll be here. Medyo traffic daw kasi.
I took my earpods from my bag and connected it on my phone. Then I played my comfort song that makes my heart happy.
I gently close my eyes and leans on the chair habang hinihintay ko ang sundo ko.
I blink my eyes twice when someone kissed me on my cheeks. I gently open my eyes wider for me to see who did it.
A smile formed in my lips when I recognized who did it.
"Hi, baby! I missed you!" I said and gave her a warm hug and lots of kisses on her cheeks and lips.
"Hi, mommy-ganda! I miss you so much!" She replied and hugged me back and planted lots of kisses on my cheeks and lips.
Aww, how adorable!
Dumiretso agad kami sa restaurant na pagmamay-ari ko for us to eat our lunch. Buti kilala pa rin ako ng mga old crews dito. Iilan lang ang hindi nakakakilala sa akin kasi nga mga bagong recruit ata.
It's been 3 years pero napanatili nila ang magandang ambiance nitong restaurant ng mommy ko.
Gosh, it's so good to be back again!
"Welcome back, madam. May I take your order, ladies?" The manager of this restaurant approached us. She's one of my pinagkakatiwalaan sa restaurant kong ito.
"Still the same, Ms. Marcia." Sagot ko and winked at her that made her blush.
"Right away, madams." And she bid her goodbye.
"Zielle, look for Adi muna please. I'll just go to the comfort room muna. I'll be right back." Paalam ni ate-mommy na tinanguan ko naman.
I was busy scrolling on my phone when Adi called me.
"Yes, baby!"
"I want ice cream, po."
"Okay. Wait I'll just orde-"
"No! That one!" She dramatically said at nag-puppy eyes pa. Hmp!
Sinundan ko naman kung saan nakatutok ang maliliit niyang daliri. And there, natawa ako ng matagpuan ng mga mata ko ang pino-point niya na nasa labas.
It's a dirty ice cream. Sorbetes ba.
I'm amazed dahil hindi pinalaki ni ate-mommy itong anak niyang maarte. Buti na lang.
Tumayo na ako at akmang hahawakan na siya sa kamay upang makapunta na kami sa nagbebenta ng ice cream when she pouts.
Jusko! Ang cute naman, oo.
"Carry! Carry!"
Wala akong nagawa kundi buhatin siya. Medyo may kabigatan itong batang 'to pero keri lang naman.
Habang papalapit na kami sa nagbebenta ng ice cream ay nag-uusap pa kami.
"You like dirty ice cream pala, baby?" I asked her that made her brows rise.
Wah, hindi nga maarte pero mukhang supalada naman. Sabagay, bakit pa ako magtataka kung may pinagmanahan naman talaga.
"Excuse me, it's not a "dirty ice cream", it is clean and delicious." She quoted her hands on the air. How cute!
"Okay, here's a little trivia. I am not meaning it literally, baby. The people here popularised that dirty ice cream thingy." I explained while chuckling. Ang cute naman kasi e.
"Oh." Tanging naisagot na lang niya at dumiretso na ako sa mamang nagbebenta ng ice cream.
"Ay, wala ho akong panukli, hija." Sabi ng mamang nagbebenta after I gave her one thousand.
"No, it's alright. Keep the change, po."
"Ala e, maraming salamat, ho. Pagpalain ka ng Maykapal, hija."
"You're welcome, tay. God bless you always! Ingat lagi."
After namin bumili ng ice cream niya ay kinaladkad na niya ako pabalik sa restaurant dahil walang limang minuto e naubos niya na ang ice cream niya at gutom na gutom na daw.
Gutom na gutom nga ang bata dahil ang takaw niya kumain. Nakailang rice din siya. Samantalang ako e kalatahing rice lang nakain ko, e. I'm on my diet kasi.

A/N: LOL! Sinong may sabi na ending na yun? Of course not. Hindi ako makakapayag na walang end game. Pero si Lia nga ba ang makakatuluyan ng walking red flag nating Zielle? Hmm, abangan!
