It's been three months since my stay in this beautiful place. My sister even visited me here and after a week balik na naman siya doon. No matter how much I moved on I'm still thinking of her. I should stand on my own. The good news is I'm starting to manage my emotions. After 3 months, I decided to go back and I'm ready check for my progress.

Nakasakay ako ngayon sa bangka para tumawid sa kabilang isla. I never told Annie that I will go back after 3 months. Nalulungkot sina Manang Rowela, Paula at Jimmy dahil daw sa bilis ng pag-uwi pero ipinaliwanag ko naman kung bakit. Nagbiro pa sila na dalhin ko daw ang girlfriend ko dito. Sana madala ko siya sa paraisong ito.

Dumaong ang sinasakyan naming bangka at tinulungan ako nila Jimmy sa gamit ko. Sabi ko sa kanila, huwag na nila akong ihatid dahil kaya ko naman. Kumaway nalang sila sa akin. Sumakay ako ng trysikel palabas ng isla.

Pagdating sa highway, pumara ako ng taxi para magpahatid sa airport. Nagbook ako ng ticket few days ago. Buti stable ang internet sa isla. Mahigit isang oras din ang biyahe papunta sa airport ng Davao.

We fall in line to show our tickets. After my turn, I immediately proceed to the boarding area. Umupo muna ako. How is she right now? Stop thinking of her! I wanted to slap myself. When they called to go inside the airplane I immediately stood up. I should ready myself. Pagkabalik ko, I will help Gwen.

I fix my bags and put it inside the baggage area. I sat down again and ask for some wine. I didn't notice that we already arrive in NAIA airport. How time really flies.

I called my sister Gwen.

"Hey!"

"Kuya!"

"Don't shout. Sunduin mo ako."

"Your already in the airport?"

"Yeah missy. So better come."

After the conversation, I hang up. She's really surprised. I patiently waited for her. It took 30 minutes, I saw her waving. She immediately walk to me.

"Kuya, I miss you." Sabay yakap sa akin. I miss her too. Ginulo ko ang buhok nito. Humiwalay ito sa akin.

"It's just 3 months Gwen and 2 weeks ago you were visiting me."

"Okay kuya. So bakit ang bilis nga?"

"Tutulungan kita sa kompanya. Halika na. Dala mo ang sasakyan?"

"Yeah kuya. Sure ka na ba?"

"Of course. I'm sure."

Binuksan ko ang passenger seat at siya naman diretso sa driver seat. Tahimik lang kami buong biyahe. Nakarating kami sa bahay at diretso agad ako sa taas. Binagsak ko ang sarili sa kama. So tiring. I didn't have the chance to change when my eyes start to close . Damn! I'm sleepy.

Nagising ako bandang 6:00 pm when I feel hungry. I go to the shower first and take a quick bath. After that I wear something comfortable and go downstairs.

Sinalubong ako ng isang maid namin.

"Sir, tamang-tama po luto na ang hapunan. Nandoon sa kusina si ma'am Gwen."

"Thanks."

Dumiretso agad ako kusina. Naabutan ko si Gwen na nag-aayos ng plato at kutsara sa table.

"Your in time kuya. Akala ko nilamon ka na ng kama mo."

"Did you cook this?"
