Five years. I was assigned at Africa for five years. At sa pagtagal ng panahon mas narealize ko kung gaano ko kamahal si Maine. I did not maintain a constant communication with her. But finding her is never hard. I just knew. I aged five years more, and so did she. She is on the right age to decide. I hope, that she waited for me.

In my mind I was chanting these words.

Pauwi na ako Menggay, uuwi na ako sa'yo.
