บท 85: She Who Will Face the Past

"Mabuhay, Welcome to The Philippines."

Those words echoed on the overhead speaker. The sense of foreboding enveloped me. This was the first time I set foot in my home country after five years. 

I never wanted to return in the first place. If it wasn't for Grandma Ai. 

The kids clung to either side of me. Duncan was behind me while Colin and Fujin were in front. Both of them were carrying boxes of chocolate from Belgium. Since we do not have any luggage, and we were on a private plane our exit from the terminal was quicker. 

It was the heat that hit me the moment we stepped out of the terminal, then the nest was the number of people waiting for a cab. Duncan was dragging me to one of the cars that were parked on the side. 

It was one of those big cars that celebrities used. The kids were already settled. The two young gods with us were sitting in the front while I and Duncan were at the back.
