"I arrived in Switzerland and texted Thunder that I had arrived. I took a taxi to our village, and we quickly arrived in front of our big house.
"Thank you very much," I said to the driver before paying the fare.
I pushed my suitcase inside, where our household staff was waiting.
"Mommy..." I shouted loudly to them.
They were all surprised in the living room, and Kuya was also there with his wife and child.
"Sweety..." Mommy happily said, so I ran towards her and hugged her tightly.
Daddy also hugged me.
"Kuya..." I happily greeted him, so he quickly hugged me tightly. I felt his lips touch my forehead, and he gently stroked my hair.
"You're more beautiful," he said to me, making me laugh softly at him.
"Hi, Ate," I greeted his wife, who was looking at me with a smile. She was really beautiful in person. Their daughter, whom he was carrying, was so cute.
"Hello," she shyly said, so I laughed at her and hugged her. She was surprised at first, but then she smiled sweetly at me.
"Their baby is so cute," I affectionately said to their daughter, whom he was carrying. She suddenly laughed and reached out her hands.
This made Mommy and Daddy laugh at him. I quickly put my shoulder on the sofa and lifted her up. She laughed so much, which made me more excited to carry her.
"So... how are you and Thunder?" Kuya suddenly asked.
"We're okay. He's taking care of their company," I said to him while looking at their cute daughter.
He nodded in response.
"That's good. He allowed you to come here?" he asked.
We spent the whole day at our house. Kuya and his family lived nearby, so I was even more excited. Sometimes, I would also have video calls with Thunder. Sometimes, my parents and Kuya would talk to him.

The days passed, and my vacation here was going well.
"Don't eat that, it's dirty," I said to Kuya's child because they made me her nanny. They would leave her with me when they went to work with Ate Mina. They didn't want to entrust their child to their nannies because they had a bad experience with one who almost took her away due to negligence.
I agreed to take care of her because I had nothing else to do. Besides, it wasn't difficult to watch over their child. I was already used to taking care of her. She even called me "Mama" even though I wasn't her mother.
But she just laughed at me, so I pinched her cheek and kissed her on the cheek. She giggled, and I couldn't help but laugh along with her. I just put her to sleep and made sure to move carefully when she was asleep.
Months passed, and I continued living here. Thunder would often pester me to come home because he missed me. It would also be our second anniversary on Monday. I was still undecided about whether I should go home or not.
"I'm sorry, love, but I'm not sure if I'll really come home," I said to him.
"What? Are you serious? You told me it would be easy for you there," he said to me during a video call.
"Well... love," I hesitated to say to him.
"What?" he asked.
"I'm really sorry, love," I said to him.
He quickly ended the video call. I don't know, but I felt like I didn't want to go back to the Philippines. Maybe I wanted to finish my course here. Thunder understood me, right?
-FAST FORWARD-
"The start of classes is near, aren't you going home to study?" Mommy asked suddenly. Kuya and his family weren't here anymore; they went back to their own house.
"Mom, Dad, I actually want to finish my course here," I said to both of them. Mommy smiled sweetly at me.
"Are you sure about that? What about Thunder?" Daddy asked. I didn't know either, maybe he would agree, right?
"We'll still discuss that, Dad," I said to him. He nodded in response and continued eating.
After we finished eating, I took a half bath before going out and changing clothes. Suddenly, my phone rang, and I quickly picked it up and answered.
Thunder and I were just chatting about what happened to him in the Philippines. He said he's now the CEO, along with his friends. He's also the owner of their company, which makes me proud, right?
"Why are you silent?" he asked, concerned. I was secretly crying because of what he said.
"No! Nothing, I'm just happy and proud of you," I said to him with a smile.
He looked at me, unsure. I wanted to hug him, but I couldn't.
"Love, I'm sorry, but I've decided to finish my course here," I suddenly said to him. He paused for a moment and touched his face.
"Why?" he said emotionlessly.
"Promise, when I come back, I promise you that I will have achieved my dream," I said to him. He didn't say anything about what I said.
-THE NEXT DAY-
I quickly packed my things because he would drop me off at the airport. I went downstairs, carrying my suitcase. I immediately saw him in his business attire. He quickly opened the car door for me and took my suitcase from the car's compartment. I hugged him tightly. I felt his kiss on my forehead.
"Take care of yourself here. Don't let yourself go hungry. I'll come back right away," I said to him, looking into his eyes.
"Did you understand? I'm serious, huh? Try to flirt with someone here, and you'll see," I threatened him.
He laughed and hugged me tightly.
"I will wait for you here," he said, smiling at me before nodding.
I turned away from him, carrying my suitcase. I felt like crying because I might not be able to come back here. Whether I can come back or not, I love you so much, and that won't change. You're the only man in my heart, and no one can separate us.
