Part 30: Rough times are done. It's time to reconcile.

Caillie (POV)

It's already October. And it's been almost four years since I ran away from home. I left all the pain I felt within their vicinity. It's almost three years since Colo and I became boyfriends. This is what I really feel right now. I'm happy being with Colorado. But I'm still looking inside myself. Seeking some care from my parents.

Nagpaalam ako kay Colo na aalis lang ako. Pero mapilit pa rin talaga siya. Kaya naman sumama siya sa 'kin. I'm feeling too much excitement because I will finally face my parents and my siblings after over a couple of years. This decision is not that easy to come up with. I know that this would sound blatant to all, but, just to remind you, it's been over a year.

“Caillie, saan ba tayo pupunta?” Tanong ni Colo na kaka-start pa lang ng engine ng car.

“We will go to my parents.”

I glanced onto him. Nakita ko na lang ang pagkagulat sa mukha niya. And I asked shortly, “Bakit, Colo? May problema?” Then he said, “Do you remember the time na itinanggi ko na sa 'kin ka pa nagtatrabaho dati?” And he was like 'Damn! Why?' and I mumbled, “It's going to be okay, honey.”

The whole time he's driving we're just talking, until we reached our home here in Fairview.

Kumatok na ako sa pinto. Kasama ko si Colo sa tabi ko at nakahawak pa siya sa kamay ko.

“Caillie?,” Said by a voice from our back.

We turned back at nakita ko na lang si Kuya.

“Caillie! Ikaw na nga 'yan!” Tuwang-tuwa siya na makita niya ako.

He hugged me tightly. Kahit papa'no rin naman na-miss ko si Kuya. Naiyak na lang ako. Hindi ko mapigilan ang nararamdaman ko ngayon.

“Sorry for everything, brother. Sorry.” Kahit si Kuya rin pala naiiyak na rin.

Colo was tapping my back all the time. He's comforting me. And that's sweet of him.

“By the way, Kuya, he's Colo, my boyfriend.” Pinakilala ko na rin si Colo.

“Nice, Caillie! Nasaan na nga pala 'yung dati mong manliligaw? Si Kyo?”

“Wala na siya, Kuya. Bumalik na sa Japan.”

“Pasok na tayo?” Paanyaya ni Kuya sa 'min ni Colo.

Nang makapasok na kami, pinaupo niya kami at maghahanda lang daw siya ng makakain naming dalawa.

Pinuntahan ko muna si Kuya sa kusina.

“Kuya, nasaan na nga po pala sina mama at papa?”
