Lost Wisdom (Forgotten Trilogy #1)

CHAPTER 15

As I look around while sitting on the canopy beach chair, I admire the pulsing heart of the sea which brings perfection into my eyes.

The horizon was a line of reflecting silvers. It stretches along the entire field at this beautiful scenery of dawn.

While I enjoy the solitude I have here, Mommy approached me with her fresh buko juice.

She sat beside me, "Enjoying your vacation, are you?"

I nodded, looking at her, "Yes, Mommy. This resort refreshes me."

There was a slight breeze that keeps brushing my hair. Along with the breeze is the question that I've never hear that coming from her.

She sipped on her buko juice first before speaking, "Refreshes you, huh? Are you that hurt that much?"

"M-Mommy..." I paused. "P-Paano niyo po nalamang nasasaktan ako?"

She patted my head, gently, "Anak, as your mother alam ko ang lahat nang nararamdaman mo. You can't deny it to me, darling. 'Yang pinagdadaanan mo ngayon ay tapos ko nang napagdaanan. I know every inch of you, Aleana. Tell me, is it about Engr. Rodriguez?"

I sighed and nodded, "Ang daya naman ng mundo, Mom. Mahal ko na 'yung tao pero pilit na nilalayo sa 'kin."

"Hey, cheer up. Hindi pa 'to ang katapusan, okay? Just know that all of it has reasons. Malay mo, babalik din 'yun sa 'yo. Oh, smile na," she comforted, lifting my mood.

"Mommy, may sasabihin ako," I held her right hand. "Ang blooming mo ngayon, sana all."

She laughed, "Hay nako! Tara na nga mag gagabi na, naghihintay na sa loob ang Daddy mo."

After we ate our dinner, we're nowhere at the veranda where the three of us bond and talking about some random things.

Tanaw na tanaw pa rin dito ang kagandahan ng resort kahit gabi na.

"So far, how's your vacation here in Palawan, Aleana?" Daddy suddenly asked.

"Ah, okay naman, Dad. I'm enjoying the view here," I smiled, sipping my cookies and cream-flavored milk tea.

He nodded, looking at the view, "Good to know that."

"Mauuna na kaming matulog ng Daddy mo, okay? Sumunod ka nalang," she stood up, holding Daddy's hand.

Napatayo rin ako para mayakap silang dalawa. Napabitaw ako nang magsalita si Daddy.

Daddy scratch the back of his hair, "Make sure to sleep early. Ngayon, mag isip ka muna kung anong gagawin mong activities para makapag enjoy ka pa rito. Good night, mauna na kami, Aleana."

As they went inside, mag isa nalang ako ngayon dito sa veranda.

Napahawak ako sa railing nito habang nag iisip kung ano nga ba ang mga dapat kung gawin dito sa Palawan.

The wind greets me with a powerful passion, sending my hair into the air, flying like a bird with its freedom.

I closed my eyes as I remember some remarkable memories... with someone special.

I'm still healing but his name lingers in my system. With that, few questions started to fill up my mind.

Kumusta na kaya siya?

Ba't nakahanap agad siya ng ibang taong magpapasaya sa kaniya?

As tears in my soul agreed to what I feel right now, it became tears in my eyes.
