This is probably the first time na nagsama kami ni Zia in one room alone after my accident. At sa totoo lang, I've been waiting for this moment to happen.

Nakakainis lang isipin na akala ko nagbago na si Zia, my little sister na madalas kong tawaging Zizi. My little sister na madalas naka-pony tail at ang kapatid kong sobrang conservative.

But here I am, laughing with her about some random story she told. And trust me, I love this. Gustong-gusto ko 'to.

"That's so mean!" I said habang natatawa as she laughed as well, drinking some water at pinunasan ang bibig niya habang nakangiti. "Well she deserved it! Dapat lang malaman niya na she just messed with the wrong person." she said in a challenging tone, referring to the girl that she hates - and unfortunately hates her back.

Mutual ang feelings...

Our laughter gradually decreased habang nakangiti kami, "Alam mo ate...I miss this." she said and smiled warmly at me. "I miss you. I miss our chikahan moments." she said honestly habang nakangiti.

I gave her a toothless smile and sighed, "I miss you too Zia. I miss our "chikahan" moments as well." I said, getting used to her new kikay side. Napatawa siya, "I can't believe I'm saying this but I miss you calling me Zizi." then she made a disgusted face.

"God it sounds so corny...but I miss it."

Napatawa ako at tumabi sa kanya and hugged her, "Then I'll start calling you Zizi again." I said habang nakangiti.

"Zizi version 2.0!" she said while snapping her fingers in a Z form.

I laughed at niyakap niya ako ng mahigpit, "Alam kong para sayo nagbago ako ate, but always remember that I'm still little Zizi. I just changed physically, pero I'm still your little sister, ate. I'm still her." she muttered habang niyakap niya ako ng mahigpit.

I never noticed that my eyes started to get teary, pero never bumagsak ang luha dahil masyado akong masaya.

"I'm sorry..nanibago lang ako. I really miss you, Zizi." sabi ko habang nakangiti as we pulled away.

"It's really getting emotional in here!" she said habang pinupunasan ang mga mata niya ng bahagya. I laughed and used both of my thumb to wipe her little tears. "We just really miss each other, that's why." I said as she giggled.

"Speaking of miss, we are missing something on mom and your boyfriend! Ano na kayang pinaguusapan nila?" Zia asked me habang pinapapak ang natitirang chicken sa plato niya.

I cleared my throat at inayos ang plato ko, "Hindi ko siya boyfriend.." I cleared my throat habang uminom pagkatapos.

Zia snorted, "Playing the denying game, huh? Ate naman, you were married once. Huwag nang um-acting na parang never kang nagka-boyfriend." Zia said as I laughed lightly at umiling ako, "No..that's not what I meant. It's just..." I trailed off pero parang nawalan ako ng mga salita na sasabihin.

Zia furrowed her brows lightly, "It's just....what?"

"It's just he never asked me." I finally said.

Napakunot lalo ang noo ni Zia, "Wait..what do you mean ate? Hindi pa kayo officially together? Medyo nalilito na ako." she said at napatawa ako ng mahina.

I let out a sigh after and bit my bottom lip, "Maybe? Maybe not. I mean..hindi niya ako tinatanong kung girlfriend niya ba ako or what, I mean yes the feelings are mutual but we are too old for that issue. MU - is that what you guys call it?" I asked her at tumango siya habang napapatawa.
