Napagod siguro yung utak ko kakaisip ng dahilan kung bakit ayaw akong makasama ni Mommy kaya nakatulog pala ako. My eyes are puffy kaya sumingkit ang mata ko. The driver woke me up pagdating namin sa Laoag Airport. Hindi pa ako nakakababa but I already saw Axiel standing and looking on his phone.

He's all I got now.

Pagbaba ko, I immediately ran to him and gave him a hug. Hindi ko na din napigilang umiyak habang nakayakap sa kaniya.

" Hey, It's okay. I'm here now. " he hugged me back and kissed my head

" I feel so unwanted, Ax. I really hate this feeling! And It's more painful because It's my mom who make me feel that feelings again. " I rant on his shoulder

" I'm still here, Imo. I will never let you feel that way. " Axiel just let me hugged him and cry on his shoulder

I am really fortunate to have Axiel because he is constantly at my side when I am not feeling well, whether I am upset or hurt. He is my knight in shining armor when loneliness eats me up. And I can't stand it if he leaves and disappear also.

" Stop crying Imogen. Let's just go back to California. " He said while rubbing my back

" Thank you for coming Ax. You're my forever savior. " I kissed his cheeks and hugged him again

Author: Qota ka na sa yakap Axiel ha? Vidababes ko yan eh chariz

" Always, Imo. I'll do everything just for you. " he said

" Uhm, Imo? Based on the way they stare at me, it appears like I will be killed today. " Axiel said out of nowhere

" Huh? " I looked up to him with a confused look kaya. And my eye followed where he was looking.

When I realized who he was referring to, I instantly let go of Axiel's hug. I was so astounded that I pushed him and caused him to fall.

" Oh God, I'm sorry Ax. " I helped him stand

" Vida, who is he? " Papa Bong asked with his chinito eyes glazed over as they walk towards us.

He's with my brothers and cousins kasama din nila si Mommy at Tati Irene. I was desperate to find Tata Aimee since she knows Axiel and she can help me with my Kuya's sharp looks at me.

" I'm Dr. Axiel Mikhail Wolf, Senator. I'm one of Vida's colleagues. " Axiel shook hands with Papa Bong.

" And her suitor, Senator. " Axiel added that made me nervous up to my spine

" Nice to meet you Hijo. I'm Bongbong Marcos, only uncle slash Dad of Vida and I'm no longer a senator so, you can call me Tito. " Papa said

" Care to introduce us to him? " Kuya Matthew seriously asked kaya ginawa ko nalang

" Ax, they are my Kuya's. Mga Kuya he is Axiel. " I said before Axiel also shook their hands

" Teka, bakit ba kayo nandito? Don't tell me you will try to stop me again? " Nakapamewang kong tanong sa kanila kaya biglang nagliwanag ang mga mukha nila.

" Tita Imee is letting you stay na. So, we're here to fetch you and force you to come home. " Kuya Alfy said then he grabbed my suitcase

" W-what? " Kanina lang galit na galit si Mom na nandito ako tapos ngayon she's letting me stay? Weird.

" Nagbago ang isip, nak. " after Papa Bong said that napatingin ako kay Mommy na nasa tabi ni Tati Irene at tahimik na naman. But I can feel the guilt and sympathy in her eyes. I'd never seen her stare at me like that before. She's getting so weird right now.

" So, wanna come home with us? " Tati Irene asked and she held out her hand to me

" Sure, Tati. " I took her hand and walk with her papunta sa van.

" Mamaya niyo na intrigahin yang manliligaw ng bunso natin. " pahabol pang sigaw ni Tati sa mga Kuya ko na ngayong nakapalibot kay Axiel. Poor Guy.

Paguwi namin, my Kuya's never let me leave them and we all gathered in the living room to do a catch up. Hindi rin nakaligtas sa kanila si Axiel na talagang binobomba nila ng tanong para nga silang reporter galing sa iba't ibang network kung makapag tanong kay Axiel. Hindi na namin naabutang gising si Lola dahil ginabi na kami ng uwi kaya bukas ko nalang ipapakilala sa kaniya si Ax.

We're busy talking when Kuya Borgy's phone rang and after he answered it napatingin siya sa akin. The call didn't take too long and he hang up din kaagad.

" Bunso, Go to Mommy's room daw. " He suddenly said

" Isn't she's asleep already? " I asked

" Akala ko tulog na yun si Josefa? Ang KJ talga nun. " pagmamaktol ni Kuya Matthew

" Nope. She's the one who called and she wanted to talked to you. " hindi mapinta yung mga muka nila nung sabihin yun ni Kuya Borgy. Siguro they also feel na magaaway na naman kami ni Mommy. But honestly ganoon din ako.

" Vida? Ate Imee wants you in her room. " Tati Irene went from mommy's room and she approach me

I sigh.

Best luck to you, Imogen.
