Chasing Agonies (Scam Series #1)

Chapter 5

I know it's an urgent decision and my friends were asking me a lot of questions. They said, I have to think about it many times before making a decisions.

Hindi naman sa paraan na pinipigilan nila akong umalis ngunit gusto nila akong mag-ingat lalo na dahil hindi ko kabisado ang lugar na aking pupuntahan.

I will to somewhere in Tarlac. I've been there pero hindi pa ako nakakapasyal roon. Tarlac are known para daanan papunta sa magagandang lugar, kagaya ng Pampanga, Pangasinan, Ilocos, Baguio, Zambales. Kahit na ganoon, dala ko parin ang pag-asa na magkaroon ng magandang bakasyon sa lugar na iyon.

Lalayo ako upang sa pagbalik ko ay hindi na ako muling makaabala sa mga nagmamahal sa akin at kailangan kong lumayo sa mga bagay bagay upang pansamantalang makalimot sa aking nakaraan, kailangan kong umiwas sa mga bagay na maaring maging sagabal upang maibalik ko sa dati ang dapat na akin, isa na ang mga naiwang ari-arian ng aking pamilya at ang paghahanap sa narararapat na hustisya para sa mga namayapa kong pamilya.

Kailangan ko itong simulan sa lalong madaling panahon, kaya kailangan kong simulang ang nararapat kong gawin, ang makalimot.

I already packed my things and some essentials like money and some papers. I have a few cash and some are cards, I can't just carry a cash, that is so hassle.

It will be maybe hard for me, I've never been in a vacation before since I lost my family, it will be all new to me, and I hope it will be good for myself mentally and emotionally, I hope that Tarlac will be my healing place and will be my comfort.

Maaaring abutin ako ng tanghali bukas upang lumuwas, it takes me two in the morning when we finished the movie we watched together with my friends.

It was already eight in the morning when I heard some laughs in my room and I noticed that it was my friends doing chitchats, they were still wearing their pajamas with the coffee in the coffee table.

My room was big, it contains one bathroom, a king size bed, a book shelves, a coffee table, an entertainment area, and a veranda. It was a classy room with a vintage aura that never been upgrade since that day happened but I'm still making it sure that it's clean, but today I'm going to leave this room, this mansion, and the helpers here, and also my friends for me to move on from my past.

My friends' bit stopped from laughing when they see me awaked and trying to stand up, their eyes were all on me, trying to observe my movements, they were so awkward and creepy.
I just shook my head and I fix my shirt before standing.

"My God Girl! Mukha ka palang lion pagkagising." Nika said when she saw me. I saw her mouth turned O.

I chuckled.

"Nika..." Pagsasaway ni Sam.

"Are you excited Cecilla? How's your feeling?" Jules with his concerns again.

I made a forced smile from Jules question and I started to question myself.

Am I really excited? Am I feeling good?

I deeply sighed.

"I'm okay Jules, and I'm just a little bit nervous, because I don't know what to expect." I said controlling my reaction.

"And it's a little bit challenging and excited I guess?" I added for them not to confuse.

"Anong oras ang alis mo mamaya?" Sam said.

It will take me three to four hours, and I need to be there maybe two or three in the afternoon for me to find a hotel or somewhere where I can spend the night.

So when I get there in two o'clock in the afternoon, minus three hours of traveling it will be two minus three is negative one so the perfect time for me to start traveling is eleven in the morning. So it's eleven.
