Jay's POV:
I am very excited today because, after 2 years, I am going to the Philippines.
I am going to meet everyone.
Me, Keifer, Kerein, Kegain, and Jeenie all reached the airport.
Our private jet arrived, and we all settled into our seats.
Kerein and Kegain sat a little far from us, playing their games.
Jeenie was sitting on Keifer's lap, pointing at everything.
"Dada, seee... this is beautiful," she said, pointing toward the table.
"Yeah, Princess," Keifer said and caressed her hair.
Just then, an air hostess came.
She was wearing a tight dress that looked like her boobs would pop out anytime.
She bent down a little and looked at Keifer.
Keifer quickly looked away.
"Sir, do you need anything?" she asked.
Before anyone could say anything, Jeenie pointed toward her chest.
"Booby... you have booby too," she said.
Keifer quickly covered her mouth.
"W-We don't want anything," I said.
She nodded and left.
"Jeenie, be quiet," I said.
"Dada, what did I do?" she asked Keifer, looking at him with puppy eyes.
"Nothing, baby..." Keifer said.
I shot him a glare, and he quickly looked away.
"Baby, do you want to eat something?" he asked me.
"Yeah," I said.
We called Kerein and Kegain too and told the air hostess our order.
As she left, Kerein whispered in Kegain's ear.
"She is hot," he said.
But unfortunately for him, Keifer heard that.
He shot him a glare, and he immediately became quiet.
"No... there is no hot..." Jeenie said.
"Yeah, you're right," Kerein said, avoiding eye contact with Keifer.
"You are growing up so fast," Keifer said as he looked down.
"Keif..." I said.
Then our order arrived.
We all started eating.
"Tito Kerein, feed me," Jeenie said and sat on his lap.
She treated Kerein like he was the same age as her.
We ate and spent time together.
Soon, we reached the Philippines.
I was so excited.
As we reached outside, I quickly saw Kuya and Aries.
As soon as they saw us, they came toward us.
"Oh my, Jeenieee!" Aries said and quickly scooped her into his arms.
"Tito Aries," she said.
"You've grown up, huh? Two years ago, you were calling me 'Ari,'" he said.
"I was small that time... now I am a big girl," she said.
Aries kissed her all over her face.
I hugged Kuya Angelo and then Aries.
"I missed you, monkey," Aries said.
"I missed you too, horoscope," I said.
"Why are you calling each other that?" Jeenie asked.
"You wouldn't understand," I said.
We all sat in the car.
Me, Keifer, Jeenie, Kuya, and Aries sat in the same car and headed toward Fredenze's house.
Kerein and Kegain left in another car toward the Watson house because Kegain was not feeling well.
As we reached, Aries pressed the doorbell while still holding Jeenie in his arms.
He didn't put her down.
The door opened, and Tita and Mama were standing there.
I quickly ran toward them and hugged them tightly.
"I missed you so much!" Tita said.
"I missed you too," I said.
Then they broke the hug, and their eyes landed on Jeenie.
"Oh my, she has grown up so fast," Tita said.
Mom scooped her into her arms.
"Say hi to Lola," I said.
She waved at them.
"Hi, Lola," she said.
Mama's tears started falling as she hugged her tightly.
Then Tita scooped her up.
We all sat down on the couch.
First, Kuya asked us about our college.
After a few hours, Keifer stood up.
"Okay, I am leaving," he said.
He hugged me and then kissed Jeenie's cheeks.
"Dada..." she said and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"I miss you," she said.
"I miss you too, baby. I will come tomorrow," he said.
She nodded and kissed him on the cheek.
"Bye, love you," she said.
"Love you too," he said.
He waved at her, said goodbye to everyone, and left.
I also felt so tired, so I went toward my room.
As I opened the room door,
Everything came rushing back to me...
My room... my safe place.
I quickly ran to my bed and jumped onto it.
"I miss you so much, my room," I said as I rolled all over my bed.
Just then, my phone buzzed.
I checked my message, and it was from Section E.
They were all calling us to meet them.
I called Keifer and told him to tell everyone that we would meet tomorrow at Eman's restaurant.
After talking with Keifer, I drifted off to sleep.
When I woke up, it was already evening.
"Jay..." a knock came.
"Yes, Mom," I said and opened the door.
"Come downstairs. Me and your Tita prepared snacks for you all," she said.
I nodded and went downstairs.
As I reached, I saw Jeenie sitting between Kuya and Aries.
Aries was feeding her, while Kuya was holding the plate and blowing on the snacks because they were hot. Then he handed them to Aries, and Aries fed her.
Wow... princess treatment.
"Mama, they are so tasty... Lola made them," she said.
I smiled and nodded.
I also sat down, and we all enjoyed our evening talking and laughing.
We didn't realize how quickly time passed.
After dinner, we all disappeared into our rooms.
Me and Jeenie went to our bed and lay down.
"Mama, I miss Dada. Can you call him?" she asked.
I nodded.
I dialed Keifer's number, and we all talked for almost an hour.
Then we ended the call and drifted off to sleep.
When I woke up, I checked the time.
It was almost 10.
I looked beside me, but Jeenie wasn't there.
I freshened up and went downstairs.
I saw Jeenie playing with Mom and Tita while Mom was feeding her.
I greeted everyone and sat down.
I finished my breakfast and went to my room to get ready.
Keifer was on his way to pick me up.
We were going to see Section E after 2 years.
After getting ready, I went downstairs.
Just then, I heard a car horn.
"Dada!" Jeenie shouted excitedly and ran outside.
I smiled and followed her.
Keifer had just parked the car.
As soon as he stepped out, Jeenie ran into his arms.
"Dada!" she giggled.
"My Princess," Keifer said, picking her up and kissing her cheeks.
"You came!"
"I told you I would," he replied with a smile.
He looked at me.
"Ready?"
I nodded.
We said goodbye to Mom, Tita, Kuya, and Aries before getting into the car.
Soon, we reached Eman's restaurant.
As we entered, everyone turned to look at us.
"JAYYY!"
"KEIFER!"
The whole restaurant echoed with their voices.
Before I could react, everyone rushed toward us.
Ci-n hugged me first.
"You disappeared for two years!" he complained.
"I missed you too," I laughed.
David, Felix, Drew, Blaster, Even, Denzel, Josh, Yuri, and Eman all hugged me one by one.
Keifer also greeted everyone with a smile.
"Bro, you still look the same," Drew laughed.
"And you still talk too much," Keifer replied.
Everyone burst into laughter.
Just then, I noticed Grace and Mica walking toward us.
"Jay!" Grace called.
I quickly hugged her.
"I missed you."
"I missed you too."
Beside her stood a cute little girl holding her father's hand.
Rakki also walked over.
"Finally, Madam remembered us."
"I was busy," I laughed.
"Excuses," Rakki said, making everyone laugh again.
We all sat around the big table.
The boys immediately started teasing each other while the girls talked about everything that had happened over the past two years.
The restaurant was filled with laughter.
Meanwhile, Jeenie was quietly standing beside Keifer.
Across from her, little Grazel was hiding behind her father's leg.
Both girls secretly looked at each other.
Jeenie gave her a small wave.
Grazel shyly waved back.
Then both of them quickly hid behind their fathers' legs.
Everyone couldn't help but smile.
"Aww... they're so shy," Grace said.
After a minute, Jeenie slowly peeked again.
Grazel peeked too.
Jeenie walked a few tiny steps toward her.
"My name is Jeenie," she said softly.
"My name is Grazel," the little girl replied.
"Wanna play?"
Grazel nodded with a bright smile.
Within seconds, both girls forgot they had been shy.
They held each other's hands and ran around the restaurant, laughing happily.
"They became friends so fast," Mica said with a smile.
"They're just like us," I laughed.
"Exactly," Grace agreed.
The boys continued talking, laughing, and teasing each other while Jeenie and Grazel played together without a care in the world.
Looking at everyone together again after two long years made my heart feel full.
It felt like nothing had changed.
It felt like home.
