*Lisa's POV*

I have always slept alone my whole life. Kahit nung nagsstay ako sa bahay namin dati kasama sina mama at papa, I had my own room. Kahit kailan ata, I never woke up with another person beside me. Even Jennie and I's fake sleepovers nung mga bata palang kami, ended up with me sleeping on the floor.

Kaya naman it took me by surprise when I realized a warm body pressing against me. Jennie's hands were placed on top of my stomach, gripping on my shirt tightly as if her life depended on it. Her lips were slightly parted and her cheeks were rosy, siguro dahil na din sa dami ng nainom namin kagabi.

My left arm was spread out because Jennie used it as a pillow and her face, snuggled against my shoulder. Jennie looked  really peaceful while sleeping. I didn't have the heart to wake her up pero as I looked at my bedside clock, we should really get going unless we want to be late. Susunduin kasi namin sa Lia ngayong umaga. Hindi ko din alam kung bakit ko naisipang uminom eh alam kong maaga kami ngayon. 

I shook her gently to wake her up pero mukhang tulog na tulog siya eh.. Instead of waking up, she gripped my shirt tighter and she hugged me tighter din.

"J-Jen.." I stuttered. "We need to go, susunduin pa natin si Lia." 

Nakita kong binuksan niya yung kaliwa niyang mata habang nakasimangot siya, then she closed her eye again. "Five minutes, Lis." she whispered, her voice sounded husky.

Nagkagoosebumps tuloy ako. Jennie's voice sounded different in the morning, yes. Pero it's different this time.

I shook those those thoughts out of my head. Blame Sana and her stupid game. (I know it's Chaeng's idea but Sana...! Hay.)

Thankfully, after ilng minutes eh kusa na din siyang gumising. Nag-ready na kaming dalawa para makaalis na din at umabot sa arrival time ni Lia.

I have a love-hate relationship with airports. I love it because it symbolizes adventure and travel to me. On the other hand, I hate it because airports remind me of separation, of families and friends hugging because they won't be seeing the other for years. 

Anyway, nakatayo kaming dalawa ni Jennie sa may escalator at may hawak akong papel na nakasulat: "Lia Kim, welcome home <3"

Kahit na against si Jennie sa sinulat ko, ginamit ko pa din yun kasi para hindi naman din malungkot masyado si Lia pagdating niya dito. Hindi din kasi makakapunta yung parents ni Jennie. I tried to understand her dahil mag-isa lang siya dito, tapos wala pa siyang kakilala. On top of that, her mom's sick. That's too much for a person to handle at a young age.

Kaya naman napagdesisyunan ko na ipatupad na ang aking oplan "Kim Sisters Reunion"

Pagkatapos ng ilang minutong pagtayo, natanaw ko na si Lia. Kahit malayo pa siya eh napansin ko na medyo tumangkad siya ng onti at lalong na heighten yung features ng mukha niya. Looking at her and then looking at Jennie, hindi mapagkakaila na magkapatid talaga sila. 

I waved at Lia who responded with a shy smile. Dalawang maleta yung hawak niya kaya naman sinalubong ko na siya para tulungan.  

“Ate Lis.. Hello po.” Lia shyly greeted me. “Thank you sa pagsundo.” ngumiti siya. 

Tumingin si Lia kay Jennie, I gusess she’s hoping for some kind of acknowledgment pero pagtingin ko kay Jennie, her eyes and demeanor displayed a cold aura. 

Okay naman siya kaninang umaga saka nung iniintay namin si Lia. 

“A-ate Jennie..” mahiyang bati ni Lia kay Jennie. 

“I can’t do this.” Jennie spat sabay walk-out. 

Naiwan tuloy kami ni Lia. “A-ano.. di ko alam anong meron kay Jen okay naman siya kanina. Shet hahabulin ko ba siya shet!” Lito kong sigaw. Taena ano ba gagawin ko? 

Ayun, I ended up calling
