BEA POV

3 months, three fucking months ako nawala sa pinas. It was the worst of times, stuck for two months inside a hospital and one month rest. Being not able to fit to travel. I have to endure that one month. Para makauwi ng Pilipinas.

As soon as I was cleared. We booked a flight to the Philippines. I'm with my family— Dad, Mom and Kuya Loel. They helped me to recover. For that one month, bawal ako magcellphone. Walang communication sa mga team mates ko. Wala rin akong update sa volleyball. Wala rin akong communication at balita sa kanya.

After my check up, umuwi agad kami to pack our things. Kasi kinabukasan flight na namin. I'm even excited, even Mom and Dad was happy and they gave my phone back. But the twist is that I will open it once I'm back sa Manila. So I didn't waste any time and pack all my things with the given time. Hindi ako makatulog sa sobrang excitement. Kaya I read a book muna, For One More Day by Mitch Albom.

It stated that, if you had the chance, just one chance to go back and fix what you did wrong in life, would you take it?

That's a tricky question actually. I still don't have answer for that question that time. Until I drove off to sleep unexpectedly.

Next thing I knew I woke up from a kiss by my dad.

"Are you ready baby? We're going home na in a bit. I know how badly you miss her. So go and prepare yourself na. Yung breakfast hinahanda na kaya bilisan mo ha? You don't want to miss our flight." Dad

Without any hesitation, I got up from my bed. Prayed that the following day will be glowing and happy as today. I took a bath with six songs which is mabilis na para sa akin kasi minsan nakakatapos ako ng album hahahaha. I dressed with my most comfy clothes at bumaba na for breakfast.

We ate breakfast together then get our things and drove to the airport. I don't know why I'm so tensed.
Is this happiness? Is this loneliness? Or what? I can't explain why I'm feeling.

Naramdaman siguro ni kuya. Kaya he hugged me.

"You're going to be okay Bei! Chill ka lang diyan! Mahaba pa yung oras ng byahe." Kuya Loel

Kaya pumunta na kami sa gate to settle our seats. We took business class seats kasi I need to be comfortable to rest din. Ayoko namang biglain yung katawan ko baka mamaya di pa ako nakakatapak sa labas ng manila, pabalik na agad kami ng US.

15 hours flight to Manila. Kaya manonood muna ako ng series/movies or read ng books.
Gusto ko sana mag-internet kaso baka magalit sina Dad sakin hehe.

AFTER 15 hours flight.

Nakaabang na pala mga drivers namin. Ewan ko kung bakit magkakahiwalay kami ng sasakyan. Kuya Loel got his own driver. Ganon din si Mom and Dad. Ako naman pinagdrive ni Kuya Mike.

Traffic sa manila is forever.

I turned on my phone, pero wala pala akong internet load. So I had to transfer pa from my card. And I'm like stuck sa traffic for 30mins already. Hay nako!

I opened my data and GOD! Notifications are the worst. Mas marami pa din sa Twitter. I opened my imessage at ang daming message ng team mates ko lalo na si Jia.

I opened it one by one, read it pampalipas ng oras. Di ko na namalayan na nasa katipunan na kami.
Sa sobrang dami kong binasa, kahit isa walang message na galing sa kanya. I guess she's doing something?
