The Scenery In Italia (School Series #1)

Chapter 20

"Buongiorno, gente!"

This is my third time in Italy. My daughter wasn't here. I already told Sabrina to come here early as possible. Well, not now, maybe tomorrow or next next day, but they will be here! The third summer.. In Venice.

I was wearing my chanel black culotte jumpsuit paired with my Manolo Blahnik high heels. I took off my Prada sunglasses as I waved my hand to my fellow filipinos who were here in Italy. What a pleasure to be here once again. I mean, no! I was just pleasured because of my new upcoming movie. Ganoon lang 'yon!

"I love you, Maureen Jimenez!"

I looked at the guy who shouted that. I gave him a flying kiss and waved my hand a little. The militaries had to cover me for my protection. General Vergara was just giving commands to his soldiers. I almost rolled my eyes when his gaze met mine.

"Hey, don't touch her!" Drix yelled at the guy when he was about to touch me.

"No, it's fine, General." I gave him the fakest smile ever before looking at the guy again. "Hello!"

"Wow. What a plastic," rinig kong bulong niya.

I acted like I didn't heard what he said. Photographer flocked again so I had to smile. Somehow, I felt so happy. I thought hindi na ako makikilala ng mga tao pagkatapos kong mawala sa showbiz. But look at them now.. mas lalo silang dumadami. I smirked.

I wore my shades again and went inside the car. I gave them a last hand wave before closing the door of the car. Lucas was the one who drove for me since siya lang din naman ang pinagkakatiwalaan ko. I don't trust anybody here.. even that stupid General Vergara.

"Saan pala sasakay ang mga soldiers?" I asked Lucas while he was driving.

"They were in a civilian humvees," he casually answered. "But the.. General, used his personal car which was the bugatti."

"Wow naman," I gasped dramatically. "He was on his uniform. Was that allowed?"

"Maybe," he shrugged. "But I heard pupunta pa siyang Rome. 3 hours ang byahe papunta roon, I guess. Babalik din naman siguro kaagad siya sa hotel niya."

I nodded a bit as a respond. I folded my arms across my chest. Wala namang nagbago sa Italy. Ganoon pa rin naman simula noong huling punta ko rito. Lucas stopped the car when we arrived on the hotel. I took my shades off as I looked at his hotel. It became wider kahit nasa labas pa lang ako. Maybe he renovated it. May pera naman siya para roon.

I smiled by myself when I saw my face on the big billboard beside his hotel. Kinuha ko kaagad ang phone ko at kinuhanan 'yon ng litrato. I posted it on my instagram since hinihintay pa naman namin ang ibang staffs.

'28th goal achieved'

That was my caption. Syempre mema lang 'yon! Hindi ko naman talaga binibilang ang goal ko sa buhay. I laughed when I received a comment from my friends immediately.

sabjimenez: boo! yabang may pa billboard na! bash niyo na 'yan!

aljimenez: ay sana all counted ang goals sa buhay.

joshforts: pwede na 'yan gawing bubong ni kingkong sa sobrang laki hahaha!
