TO LOVE AGAIN

We are now in the middle of our way home. I just kept quiet while looking up at the sky. There are so many stars that light up the whole sky. Among those stars, a bright one caught my eyes. It shines in the extra light it has. It made me smile as I gazed at it, thinking, it was Nathan, my dad. Based on the movie I had watched on when they miss their dead loved ones, they simply look up at the night sky to find the brightest star, because it is a symbol of their dead loved one. That's only a theory I think, and it's not bad for us to believe that. But in my current situation, I believe that.'I missed you, dad. So much.' my mind whispered as I watched the brightest star.Maybe if things hadn't been so bitter and bad I would have been with my dad now. We would have been together now, and we would have been happier today. But

"It's been a long time." Nicoli released a big smile when we were finally here in our former country, the Philippines. Our feet were already on the Philippine road, and the air we breathed in is owned by the Philippines. Yeh. I'm not dreaming. We're already here. Welcome back, to me. 'Welcome back, Elisha' I whisper to myself. "Let's go?" Nicoli said as a signal for us to enter our house. Gary, an old man, our housekeeper, took our suitcase and carried it outside the front door. Nicoli and I followed.As we entered the gate of this house, I was amazed at how nice and spacious the veranda of this house was. It's like a mansion. Well, this is not the home we used to live before here in the Philippines, because our house before was once sold by mommy bef

I released a giant smile when I left my office. I know they just don't want to let me know that the two are in a relationship. Hmm, I wonder when and how did they start. Well, later I'm going to asks my brother. I know he's as easy as it can be unlike Aime, my best friend? Even though we're friends, when she doesn't really want to say it, she won't."Where is my client?" I ask my secretary. "He's in the meeting room, Miss President.""Meeting room?" My eyebrows raised. Why he is in there? I mean. He has to set an appointment with me first before proceeding there. "Okay, thank you. Ahm gets us a coffee. Thank you." I instructed my secretary before heading to the meeting room. While I am head

HOME. When I got home, I parked my car and went inside. I'm looking forward to Nicoli's presence but I found nothing. The whole house is empty, the lights are off, deafening silence dominated the whole house so I immediately turned on the light. Where is that man? Why is he still not here? It's already 7:20 PM in the evening. I get my phone in my pocket and dialed Nicoli's number. It rang right away. "Nics? Where are you?" I ask straightforward as he answers my call. I didn't even hear what he was saying because of the loud noise that had wrapped my ear across the line. He's in the bar. "I couldn't hear you!" I scream. "I'm in my bar, just in a second I'm on my way out here. So, do you hear me now!?" He replies with a little bit of shout. "Yeah. I can hear you now. Wait-- aren't you going home? It's late!." I exclaimed. "Are you home??

ELISHA's POVMORNING. I woke up to the sunlight that had stamped on my face. I feel so refreshed. I slept well without having a bad dream. I stretch my body and check the time. It's 7:00 AM to be exact. Just then, suddenly I remember Brent, and again I thought about what he had said to me last night. He's a doctor now? How come? Why? I shake my head realizing that I have a lot to know about him. For the past 8 years that we haven't seen each other, I bet there are so many things that had changed in his self. It's surprising that he change his career now. I got up from my bed, washed my
