Chapter 27: Home
A tight smile broke into Samantha’s lips as soon as she heard the pre-landing announcement of the plane she was in. There was a bittersweet feeling stirring inside of her—a thing she had never felt for the past four years. Maybe that’s what you really get when you are going back to a place that broke you.
At least now you’re home, anang isip niya.
Home.
Again, she smiled bitterly. Home is supposed to be a place of comfort, of joy, of beautiful memories. But for the last few years she had spent in the country was far from comfortable, joyous and beautiful.
So, paano niya naisip na tahanan niya ang Pilipinas?
Marahan siyang nagbuga ng hininga bago bumaling sa bintana. The morning rays of the sun was greeting her-- shifting her thoughts to the positive side of things.

Maingat na isinara ni Samantha ang laptop niya bago pagod na sumandal sa kanyang upuan. She just finished interviewing the last applicant for Charlize Elizabeth Events, her new company named after her daughter.Isang linggo na halos mula nang makabalik siya sa Pilipinas. And she hadn’t stopped working since. Mabuti na lang tinulungan siya ni Lucas na maghanap ng space for her to set-up her new office kahit noong nasa California pa siya. Of course, her brother used his connections to get the best deal on the best spot in the city. Ito na rin ang kumuha ng construction company to get her new space ready. It was almost done now. She just needed to set up her new office with couches and a few display cases to get her office up and running.She leaned on her chair some more before staring at the ceiling of her office. The white walls and ceiling instantly relaxed her. Hindi siya talaga nagkamali sa piniling minimalist design ng office niya. His bro

Aaron was driving furiously. He received a call from Kiel. Itinakbo raw sa ospital ang Mommy nila dahil bahagyang nahilo at napaupo sa banyo. And though his youngest brother assured him that their mother is fine, he wants to see for himself that she is really fine. He doesn’t want to take chances. The last time he did, someone dear to him died. He quickly shook his head and concentrated on driving. He knew being distracted at this of emergency will not do him any good. He needs to get to the hospital fast. But the damn traffic was not letting him! He cussed under his breath and tried dialing Joshua’s number. Nang tawagan niya ito kanina bago siya umalis sa penthouse niya, ang sabi nito susunod ito sa kanya sa ospital. But that was 20 minutes ago. Baka nga nauna na ito sa kanya roon. “Josh, are you already at the hospital?” mabilis na tanong niya sa kapatid nang sagutin nito ang tawag. “Aaron,” said the familiar voice of a woman on the other line. “Ana, where is Josh?” he hurrie

“You go and sleep, Aaron. I’ll be fine, son. Besides, we’re already in the hospital. What could go wrong?”anang Mommy ni Aaron nang sila na lang dalawa sa hospital suite na kinuha niya para sa ina. He was sitting on the couch while his mother was on the bed.“I will wait for you to fall asleep, Mom. You heard what the doctors said, you need rest,” he declared before fishing out his phone from his pocket. Alam niyang hindi rin siya makakatulog agad ngayon. So he better check his emails now.Maya-maya pa, naramdaman niyang natahimik ang Mommy niya. That’s when he lifted his gaze on her and found his mother intently looking at her.“Mom?” tawag niya rito.His mother forced a smile and gently patted the space beside her bed. Agad siyang lumapit sa kama at umupo sa mismong espasyo na sinabi nito. His mother immediately gathered his hands on hers before looking at him again.“You h

Samantha flashed her satisfied grin as she looked at the event styling of the party about to be held country club located inside the subdivision. Her styling team decorated the bare walls and makeshift stage with flowers, balloons and a single seater swing framed with pink poenies just like what Tita Elaine had requested. She had learned that the soon-to-be-mother, Charlotte, loves pink poenies. And though the event is really to celebrate the upcoming birth the grandchild of Mrs. Cobarrubias, she made sure that the mother would also be happy for the event.

The party was going well. The host Samantha booked for the event was very professional and knows how to entertain the crowd. Hindi lang din iisang beses siyang nilapitan ni Tita Elaine at pinasalamatan. Sabi nito, irerekomenda siya nito sa mga kakilala nito. And she’s really looking forward to it.“Sam,” tawag ni Mandy sa likuran niya. She quickly turned and saw the familiar face of a woman that was with Mandy. She was wearing a lavender dainty dress that perfectly suits the occasion. Her hair was down, revealing the highlights on her soft curls.“Nicole?” aniya, natutop pa ang bibig.“Hi, Sam!” anito bago walang sabi-sabing yumakap sa kanya. Nang pakawalan siya nito, pinaglipat-lipat nito ang tingin sa kanya at kay Mandy. “Oh my god! I never thought I’d see you two again!” anito bago mabilis na hinawakan ang kamay nila ni Mandy.“E bigla ka naman kasing naglaho rin noon. Kayo

“Sam, anak, ikaw na ba talaga ‘yan?” ani Aling Ness bago siya mahigpit na niyakap.“Opo. Kumusta po kayo?” aniya bago gumanti ng yakap sa matanda na itinuring na rin niyang pangalawang ina.Sinadya niya talaga ang matanda sa Brgy.
