Exactly five years before Emerald returned to the Philippines, she did not return immediately after four years of studying fashion design at the Instituto Marangoni, a well -known fashion school in Paris France.
She had to stay a year in France for personal reasons, even herself has no idea what she wants to avoid in the Philippines. Its good thing after I received my certificate degree in fashion and Design I was lucky to be hired as junior fashion designer in one of the prestigious fashion company in France.
Emerald sighed as he walked dragging his luggage towards apart of NAIA where a private helicopter owned by her family was waiting to take her to their hacienda in Quezon province.
She felt mixed emotions when she got off the huge plane. She will admit that she missed the Philippines. Especially the man who caused her to leave and study far away.
The helicopter pilot met her immediately.
"Where's Daddy uncle Jun? Emerald asked in astonishment as soon as he reached her luggage. She expects that he was with her father who would pick her up.
"I'm the only one he sent, señorita," somehow older pilot avoided looking at hee, who was obviously hiding something.
She was still in elementary school when he became the pilot on their hacienda so they consider him a family member he is good at operating a helicopter.
"Welcome home señorita" said uncle Jun after the helicopter landed on the ground not far from the mansion of the Buensucesos. It will be four o'clock in the afternoon when they reached the hacienda.
There was a warm caress in Emerald's heart, Has she been selfish to the people with her for not coming home for five years? Emerald felt the warmth in its words.
She really missed her father and her yaya Lorie. The trees, the sea, the cattles and horses inside the hacienda. Emerald was full of emotion when she set hee feet on the ground.
"Dad ..." he ran to her father as she saw him standing at the spacious door of the mansion and waiting for hee.
Sideways the tears that Don Enrico hugged the youngest child, God knows how much he missed her princess.
"You're finally here my sunshine?" The girl nodded in tears, she felt how much her father missed her, he only called her sunshine when his father was tender and when he wanted to make her feel that he missed her.
"I home dad, I miss you dad"
"Is that why you put up with me not even visiting my son for five years?" There is a melody of his father's sullenness.
"Soo sorry dad" she said with a bow and wiped away the tears.
She was ashamed of her father, if her father hadn't visited her in France two years ago they wouldn't have meet her father. And his body changed a lot unlike when he visited her abroad last year.
"Yaya" she turned to nanny Lorie who was quietly crying next to her father.
Aling Lorie was very happy with her pet, which she has taken care off since she was born, is now already back home, which is also the day of the death of Doña Corazon, her mother who died in childbirth with her.
"My child is so beautiful" she cried as she hugged her tightly by Aling Lorie whom she considered her real child so she couldn't get married.
"I miss you so much nanny" cried Emerald.
"Rest in your room first child, her father said "I know you have jetlag, I'll just wake you up with Aling Lorie for dinner" said Don Enrico as he entered the mansion.
Mang Jun smiled as he watched the three enter the mansion, finally the princess of the hacienda is already home.The mansion and the hacienda will come to life again in return by señorita.
Upon entering her room, Emerald immediately closed the door.
She feels the nostalgia, she briefly recalled the happy memories during her childhood, abruptly tears roll from her eyes as she walks toward familiar cabinet. ~
~ She carefully pulls the drawer and sits on the bedside and puts it on her lap.
~ She tried to forget the man in her mind while she was in another country, but the more she tried to forget him the more she realized that the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life is the same man she adored when she was on her teens.
And she didn't know herself how to deal with it, but it was too late, here she was she had no choice but to pretend not to be hurt.
Now he misses her mommy so much, "Mommy, she whispered to herself while looking at the ceiling as if she could see her mommy there"
Tok, tok, tok, when Emerald heard a faint knock at the door of her room.
"My child ..." her nanny Lorie.
"Come in yaya, it's open" she muttered while wiping away the tears.
Her nanny Lorie came in and was sad and gloomy when she saw what on her lap, it was the drawer containing various gifts that she knew were came from her child's first love.
"Do you still love him?" At the same time, she sat next to Emerald and at the same time caressed her long hair.
Instead of answering, she hugged her nanny and cried. She couldn't keep it a secret because she had an open book with her nanny that the man she loved was she still loves him so much until now.
Aling Lorie felt sorry for Emerald, if only Doña Corazon was still alive, her youngest child would somehow be able to ease what she was dealt with.
Emwrald calmed down for a while from crying.
"Please rest first, child, I will just call you at dinner time, your daddy just sent this your favorite fresh mango juice harvested by the hacienda "
" Thank you nanny "And yaya lorie handed the glass with fresh mango juice .
