EPILOGUE

Epilogue.

The End.

Standing infront to my first restaurant made me want to jump in a high cliff because of my freaking happiness. After 2 years of planning to build my dream restaurant is very very worth it. My Dad is here but my Mom isn't, well I don't mind and expect to her anymore because I know na hindi niya talaga ako susuportahan.

"Congratulations son!" my father greeted, I hugged him because he support me from building this spanish style restaurant.

"Thanks, Dad" I responded, tinapik niya ang balikat ko.

"I am so proud of you, anak" I nodded and said to my mind that I know, simula pa noong wala pa akong napapala ay alam kong proud na si Daddy sa'kin.

"Ey yow bro! Congrats! Libre naman ako dito palagi 'di bah?" I rolled my eyes as I face my friend Aidan who's wearing shades even though hindi masyadong mainit, he's with Kiel who's busy with his phone.

"Tigilan mo ako Amerikanong hilaw, mas mabuting manahimik ka nalang kagaya ni Kiel" tamad na sabi ko.

"Hey I am not quiet, sang- ayon ako sa sinabi nitong Amerikanong hilaw na 'to. Libre kami dito bro ah?"

"Stop giving shits to me the two of you, baka malugi ito nang dahil sa inyo. Diyan na nga kayo" they all laughed but I didn't care to face them because I'm too excited.

"Inoman tayo mamaya!" sigaw bigla ulit ni Saross, I gave him my dead glare and he just laughed again.

"Inomin mo nalang kaya ang buhangin sa resort mo? Magpapanggap ka pang bellboy para makakuha ng tip!" natawa si Kiel at marahan na tinapik ang balikat ni Saross dahil medyo naoffend siya.

I already cut the red ribbon and all the new customers, new waiters and waitress clapped their hands. I feel proud to myself while looking to the people who's smiling at me right now. I'm now twenty years old but not really happy living in this world. I'm used to it anyways.

I am still using my fake name 'Edrosh' and I am not proud of it but I'm already used to it. My Mom thought that she already burned my real birth certificate but she didn't, My Dad gave her the photocopy and gave me the real birth certificate. I hide it somewhere na ako lang ang nakakaalam at kapag napatayo ko na ang café ko ay doon ko na gagamitin ang totoong pangalan na ipinangalan ng ina ko.

The day after tomorrow the opening of my restaurant, Mr. Fernandez called me to be one of the special guest of their upcoming intramurals something. I hesitated but when I remembered that Kea is one of the students of that school so I decided to say yes.

All the stares of the students are all on me while walking in the hallway. Simula pa sa parking lot ay nasa akin na ang tingin ng mga estudyante, medyo naiilang na ako dahil nagbubulungan na sila. Nakasuot naman ako ng jeans at polo pero bakit parang iba ang naiisip ko?

I asked a girl and she was surprised when I asked her but still answer my question. Malapit na ako sa Dean's office pero bago pa ako makalakad ulit ay tinanong ako ng babae kung ano daw ako, I told her that I'm one of the special guest of their program. Napaawang ang bibig nila ng kasama niyang babae.

I smiled at them before walking again when someone shouted at my back. I was about to step aside but it was too late! A familiar little girl bumped into me! And I was the one who got the strong impact that made me sit on the floor! I got hurt but the hurt that I felt went away when I saw the innocent face of Kea.

"Hala! Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!" she apologized and bowed her head on the floor. A woman who looked older than me helped me to stand and I wonder how she knew my name then Mr. Fernandez joined the scene.
