I dropped my bag and looked at the empty room that I've missed. It's been what? Four years? Since the last time I've been here, it became unoccupied. Or not.
Bumukas ang pinto mula sa likod ko at paglingon ko ro'n, there I saw him. Standing there, with a mixed emotion flashed through his face. Even I am shock, what is he even doing here? I thought he already left.
"What are you doing here?" tanong ko pero ngumisi lang siya. Na para bang ako pa ang dapat na wala rito.
"I spent four years, looking for you. Not leaving this empty room because I believed that one day you'd come back. At ngayong nandito ka na, 'yan pa ang sasabihin mo sa akin?" inis niyang sabi. Umiwas ako ng tingin dahil wala along lakas na tingnan siya. O mas tamang sabihing wala akong mukhang ihaharap sa kaniya?
"Look, I know you're angry at me--" Bago ko pa matapos ang sasabihin ko ay naglakad na siya palapit sa akin at mahigpit akong niyakap. The kind of hug as if he's telling me he won't let go of me ever again.
"I spent half of my life chasing you..." He chuckled, bitterly. "... It won't hurt as much to chase you again. This time, I'll make sure I'm your end point."
