After-letter 1 : Hometown

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to X airport, Local date is November 19, 20XX, Local time is 10:00 AM"

"For your safety and comfort, please remain seated..."

The plane would be landing soon and I can't wait to see Unc... ehem ehem... Rei again. Wait, Isn't that too casual?

------------------------

"Taxi!"

*Opens Door*

"To this address please, thank you"

*closes door and buckles the seatbelt*

The moment I left the airport, I immediately went to look for a taxi. I just can't wait to meet him once again. What the hell is he talking about. I grew up thinking he was my father, my brother and my best friend. But if he was enduring this 12 years over a guilt that he shouldn't feel because he doesn't even know how I would actually feel. He really is a coward, he probably cried a lot since he is really a cry baby.

Little does he know that I look at him as everything... and a lover isn't far from what I'd look at him. He was the one who was always there for me. He was the one who taught me a lot of things. He didn't raise me up to be his lover, he raised me up to be human.

And the guilt he felt is because of the judgement this society makes. He wasn't my father, He didn't take care of me because he wanted to be a father. He took care of me because we were family. My mom had no one but him. That's why I don't think there is something wrong with his feelings.

How I wish I could tell this to his face 12 years ago. But I would make sure to tell it straight to him right now. I'm 30 years old. I have my own mind right now. And if I were to ask myself, is this a fleeting emotion after reading those letters... I don't think so, I might also have felt this way since before. But I brushed it off as a feeling of admiration to the strongest person I ever met in my life. Of course, aside from my mom.

The pictures he pasted on the scrapbook. I remember each of them, very clearly. And I wish to go back to 12 years ago and I should have noticed how he stared at me so much. I could have caught him off guard. He would probably blush and he would have looked so cute despite his age. Just thinking about it makes me feel butterflies in my stomach.

"Sir..."

"Sir..."

"Excuse me Sir, we have arrived"

"Ohhh, Sorry. I was spacing out"

*Goes out of the Taxi*

Here I come Rei.
