La Muerte #2: Beautiful Despair (COMPLETED)

Chapter 18

Thaliah

"Hello po!"

I greeted the staffs happily, they smiled at me.

"Hello po señorita!"

they greeted back, I pouted.

"You can just call me thaliah po."

I smiled then took a picture of the mango farm. I am using my favorite instant print camera again.

"Ang hilig niyo ho kumuha ng litrato ano, gusto mo bang maging photographer?"

Ate Dindy asked, umiling lang ako sakanila.

"No po, I want to be a fashion designer. But I like taking pictures as memories, one of my best friends, gave this to me on my birthday."

I giggled.

It's our summer vacation again so as usual, we again went to La Muerte and stays at the Hacienda Juarez. Our families are really good friends so we always go here, or if they are busy, they always send me in this place to learn some things.

I'm fine with it since I have more friends here than the city. They are more kind and sincere to me.

The surroundings is great too, plus everyday is really fun.

"Hello!"

I greeted the girl I met at the plaza today.

"Anong pangalan mo? saka ilang age ka na?"

Tanong ko, the girl smiled at me sweetly.

"My name is Trina, I'm 13, ikaw?"

She said, I smiled at her brightly.

"I'm Thaliah Magdalene, I'm 13 din! do you live near here?"

I asked, she nodded her head and smiled.

"I live at my father's bakery near this plaza."

She responded, my mouth formed an 'o'

"That's nice! I want to taste it tuloy!"

I giggled.

"Sure."

She said still smiling, she's such a sweet girl.

"Ang ganda ganda mo naman Thaliah, I like your eyes and your hair."

She smiled at me while combing my hair. We've been friends for 3 weeks now, I invited her today at the hacienda to spend time here.

"Thank you! you're maganda din Trina."

I smiled.

"Ang ganda ng mga damit mo, sana ganto rin kami kayaman para mabili nila lahat ng gusto ko."

She frowned, Napakamot ulo nalang ako.

"I don't ask for them often though, they just buy whatever they want. Pero ayokong humingi gaano, it's their money, not mine. So nag iipon ako kapag may gusto akong bilhin, tapos kapag mahal, pwede ko nalang padagdagan sakanila."

I stated, I may act like so maarte, but I don't want to act spoiled. I know that my parents love me so much and material things doesn't measure it.

"Kung ganyan lang kami kayaman, magpapabili ako ng magpapabili. Nakakaasar kasi sa bahay, gusto ko ng make up, sisigawan pa ako, buti nalang mayroon ka, nakakahiram ako kahit papaano. Hindi mo naman ginagamit diba? pwedeng saakin nalang?"
