Chapter 10
Start

Ivan texted me during a minor class, he wants us to meet up on the garden of the school, sa ilang taong pag aaral naming, dinala niya ako roon para roon kumain  hanggang sa tumagal at nagustuhan ko ang lugar, malayo sa ingay ng mga estudyanteng dumadaan o nag aaliw. Dito rin kami nagrereview kapag may exam.

As always we will celebrate my birthday as grand as my mother's want. Siya na ang pinapili ko sa lahat dahil mas pinagtuunan ko ng pansin ang pagpaplano kong sa bahay na nila Ivan magsaya.

"Can we celebrate my birthday in your house?" I asked him getting his attention from reading. We have lots on our plate right now because it is close to the end of school year. 

"As the birthday girl wish."  It is already a week before my birthday. He kissed my forehead. Nagpatuloy kami sa pag aaral, hindi na muling nag usap pa.

Simula unang araw ko sa eskwelahan na ito  ay naging maganda ang pakikitungo sa akin ng lahat ng nasa batch ko, my classmate even treat me as thieir youngest sibling, they made me call them ate and kuya. I made some friends and Alice as my closest one, though I can not consider her as my bestfriend, I think it is enough.

Everytime there would be group project, thesis and assignments, they are inviting me to join, I did. My parents allow me only that I have guards with me, it is fine at first but I am suffocating everytime they are saying that we have to go home already. I am telling that to Ivan and he understand what am I ranting to.

Imagine you are in college and you can not go with anyone without guards, it is good that people who doesn't study here is not allowed to come. My driver are always waiting outside the school the reason why I can't have the time to meet Ivan. They are not allowing me to.

Every Sunday, good thing my parents would allow me to have a visit on the Bardon's only that Ivan would get and bring back home before 8, I don't even know what the fuck happen and they start it again, limiting me. There is a time that I felt so much anger that I asked mom about it.

I was running to the office of my mom. Anger filling the inside of me.

"What did you do?!" I shouted pagkapasok na pagkapasook pa lamang sa kaniyang opisina sa bahay.

"What?" patay malisya niyang tanong. I know what she is doing.

"Don't you dare play innocent, you are back controlling my life that even seing Ivan is not allowed!" my voice thundered in every corner of her office. She get her bag and sighed. I look at her deadly like I want to stab her right away but I knew, I am not like that, I am better than that.

"You can see him during Sundays but don't get away too much, I can track you."  Sa bigla ko sa sinabi ay hindi ko na napigilan ang pag alis niya.

It was Sunday when we decided to celebrate my birthday at the Bardon's house, they just planned a small celebration  since we are just five in the house. I already have my own slippers and even cloths here. They filled the space in my heart.

"Happy Birthday, hija" si Tita Iya. 

"Thank you po" I kissed her cheeks and hold her waist, iginiya ko siya patungo sa kusina. 

Tinuring ko na rin itong sariling bahay gaya ng gusto nila, I am more comfortable here. 

There is a cake in the table and other foods that they made me love, the carbonara and palabok na noong una ay hindi ko kilala, tiuruan din ako ni Tita Iya  sa pagluluto ng mga iyon. Kapag narito ako sa kanila pag aaral ng mga gawaing bahay lamang ang inuuna ko, I am thankful I have tita to teach me.
