"So, when are we going to meet?" Lyra asked as we were doing a video call all together.
"Maybe next week, I will just process my things here first," I said as I lied to them.
I know I should tell them about it, but grandfather said it was better to keep it around the family only.
"That's settled then." We chatted more before we turned off the phone.
I missed my baby.
It's been months since I saw him.
I was here abroad to make people believe that I am here all the time when, in fact, I was just inside our home with my baby.
I looked at the things on my bed which I was arranging as I was going back again. I just hoped that everything would be fine for me and my baby.
--------------------
I don't know why, but the moment I stepped in the airport as I arrived, I saw many reporters who were waiting for me.
"Saskia!"
"Saskia!"
"Saskia!"
I heard people calling my name as I was walking .
"Are you back here for good again?"
"I heard the other member had returned too yesterday," one of the reporters said as he looked at me.
I just smiled at them and didn't answer.
I knew the others had returned yesterday as we were video chatting yesterday, and they told me that they were going to return first.
I looked around to look for the car that was going to fetch me here at the airport and when I saw it, I walked my way there.
When I got there, I saw my manager who was waiting for me.
"Welcome back Saski," she said as she hugged me as the bodyguards were putting all of my luggage in the car.
"Thanks, Cindy," I said, as my manager was a little bit older than us, and we treat each other like friends outside work, but she is strict when it comes to work for us.
We drove our way to my house in the city and as we arrived Jasha told me that we would have a meeting next Friday as she knew that my girls and I would spend our day together this week.
I slept that day when I arrived as I had some jetlag. I woke up when it was already five am as I'd arrived yesterday. I didn't know, but I slept again that morning. The phone was already ringing when I woke up again.
"Hello?" I said as soon as I answered the phone.
"Hey, Saski were all here." I looked at the phone and saw that I am hearing it correctly.
"Hey, Jaisha..."I said as my voice sounds groggy as I just woke up.
"Don't tell us you just woke up?" I heard Lyra said as or more like she shouts.
I put the phone away from my ears first as her voice was in a high pitch.
"I just woke up." I say as I winced as I know she will give me a one hell of nag.
"That is so you, you should get your ass off from your bed and get here." I heard Mira said as she sighed from the phone.
"Okay, Mother." I said as I chuckled and turn off the phone before the two could even react and say anything.
I took a real quick shower and just put some clothes that I could touch without putting any makeup as I know it will take a lot of time to do that and the three might drag me out from my own house.
I looked at my car and saw that it was clean, My manager might bee taking care of this place as I walked here last night I saw the house was still the same as I left it almost two years ago.
It took me almost thirty minutes before I reached the restaurant where they were at.
I look at the wrist watch that I am wearing and saw that it was already half past one in the afternoon.
As soon as I enter the place I saw people looking at my directions and some even gasped when they saw who I am.
I smiled as I looked at them while rushing my feet to where my friend were sitting.
"Saski!
"Saski!"
I saw my friends rushing at my directions and before I could even react they all jump at me as they hugged me tightly.
"We missed you!" Jaisha said as she looked at me and smiled while Lyra and Mira was also doing the same thing.
"You were out of reach for almost two years, are you that busy in your school?"Mira asked as she looked at me.
"Hey, that's a little bit exaggerating, we've been calling the whole time." I said as I looked at them as we walked our way to the table that was for us.
"But we didn't see your face, we can only hear your voice during those time." Mira said as she sit on her chair.
"Yeah, Mira was right we've been hanging out sometimes for the past two years, but you? You always rejects to go see us and even reject when we wanted to visit you." Jaisha said as she poouted.
Those were the days when my belly was bulging and I looked like a whale that time. How can I let my friends see me in that state without throwing me so many questions about how did it happned?
I was about to answer Jaisha when a sudden flashes of camera stopped me from saying anything.
"Gosh, how did they managed to be here this fast?" I said as I looked away.
"Can't blame them I think they really missed us that much." Lyra said as she winks at the reporters who were taking photo on us secretly, but the way his flash is making my eyes irritated doesn't like a secret.
"So, what do we plan?" Lyra said as she looked at us.
"I thought you already had a plan?" I asked as I looked at the menu when the waiter comes and give it to use.
"Nah, we just say it as we missed you that we wanted you to come home here." Miragette said as she smiled at me as she said our orders to waiter who was not so far from us and seems to be giving us some privacy.
"Cindy fetches me last night." I said as I look at them.
"Yeah, we know she was even asking to meet us all next friday." Jaisha said as she eats her salad.
"She also told me that last night" I said as I eat my steak.
"She texted me this morning just to say we should enjoy our day." Miragette said as she let us see the messaged that Cindy sent her this morning.
"So typical of Cindy. As we all know if one article will come out that we were having a blast in some bar she will flipped us." Jaisha said as she chuckles at what she just said.
We talked a lot of things that night and we decided to go to the private resort that Cindy has prepared for us.
--------------------
"After this I know we will be working hard more." I heard Miragette said as we were in the pool.
They all sighed as their pleasure days would end after this week, they can't just left as they were still bound in a ten year contract to the agency, but people started saying and making some rumors that they already disbanded which is not true.
Even though their group was in a break, the other members did some interviews and some shoots as they signed some contracts from the brands that they were modelling, which I didn't do as I know it would be difficult for me to do it, it's just good timing that every contracts I had with the brands that I am endorsing has ended before we decided to take an break.
They spent the whole week in a private resort that whole week, after that they all went to meet Cindy at their company.
"Glad that you were all here now." Cindy said as she looked on us while the CEO of the company was also present at that moment.
"I asked Cindy to set a meeting for all of us as we received lots of offer again from different brands that wanted to take you as a brand ambassador especially you Saski," Alejandro said as he looked on us.
We just looked at each other as we sighed.
"And by the way tomorrow you'll be appearing in one of the event that was going to happen in XCX." he said as he was dismissing us.
"By the way Cindy, their dressing room was already ready, the stylist and the makeup artist were all also there waiting there for them." he said which made us frowned at him.
"We thought that event is tomorrow?" Miragette asked as she looked on us before looking at Alejandro who seems to be confused too.
"Oh, I forgot to mention, you'll be appearing in this evening show for a pressconference." he said as he left the room and we were left with Cindy who was also surprised at what he just said.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know that he arranged a pressconference for you." Cindy said apologetically as she looked at us.
We all know that since Alejandro did it lots of times before, but he was still a good CEO as he was making sure that we were not belittle or bullied online by our bashers who keeps on slandering us.
Cindy walked with us as we make our way to our old dressing room, and I can say that the they renovated the building as it looks new.
"This is our old dressing room?" Jaisha asked as it doesn't look like as our old dressing room as it looks bigger than the usual.
"Yes, Mr. Alejandro made sure that you will be more comfortable when you came back here again, and even your dance practice room was bigger now." Cindy said as she opens the door of the dressing room, and there are some people who were waiting for us.
"Hello." We bowed as we greeted them smiling.
They were our old stylist and makeup artist that the company assigned for us as they were all working exclusively for us to avoid leaking any informations about us.
They started doing our hair and makeup while the stylist was busy choosing for our attire today.
"All done." Cindy said she looked at us as we finished preparing ourselves for the pressconference.
"I had all the schedules now, Mr. Alejandro just sent them to me while you were getting ready." she said as she was scrolling things on her ipad just like what she normally did back then.
"Tomorrow, as said a while ago you will be appearing in one of events in XCX music awards night." she said as she looked on us.
"Then next day, you will start meeting the producer for your album." Cindy said which made us look at her as it wasn't mention that we will be coming back as a performer again instantly.
"This instant?" I asked as I still haven't informed grandfather about my schedules even though he already permitted me to be an idol while doing my responsibility as his heir.
"The fans had been waiting for you all to comeback." Cindy said as we were walking our way to the conference hall where we were going to have our pressconference.
"And oh, Saski you had been offered a role in one of the novel adaptation." Cindy said as she stopped.
"A drama?" I asked as it was almost two years ago when I last did my drama with a famous actor.
"Yes." she said as she opens the door before I could answer her.
