Chapter 11

"Oh shoot" I cursed. Ang tanga tanga, Charlotte. Sa lahat ng makakalimutan, yung bola pa. E nasa byahe na!

"Any problem?" Calvin asked

"Yeah I'm stupid. I forgot the ball" I said "You should probably turn the car around"

"May bola sa bahay" he said. Lumingon ako sa kanya "Malapit lang dito ang bahay namin. Okay lang ba sa'yo na yun nalang ang gamitin? We'll just pick it up real quick"

"Okay. Pero baka may tao, nakakahiya" The thought of it is making me anxious already. Baka kung anong tanungin sakin. Pero sa bagay, madami naman daw kaibigan si Calvin so baka hindi na sila manibago.

He smiled "No, walang tao sa bahay. There are helpers around but they won't talk naman or they won't notice you"

Helpers? More than one? They must be really rich. Yeah. I'm certain. Not that I care. It's just hard to deal with differences with the privileged people. Pero I think you wouldn't notice it with Cal. I couldn't feel nga na he's above my status or something e.

I prepared my self but my jaw dropped when I saw his house from the gate. It was a literal mansion. Modern design. There are pool around the high platform where the mansion is standing. There were a lot of glass materials. And party area. You could see their lounges immediately because of the glass materials. I was then curious of what his father do for a living. They must own a company or something.

"Sorry we have to walk from here. Dito nalang ako magp-park kasi mahirap mag park sa taas" sabi n'ya. Tumango ako at sumabay sa pag-labas niya bago n'ya pa man ako pagbuksan. Kaya ko naman kasi.

Pagkababa ko ay may lumapit na lalaki sa kan'ya.

"I-park ko po ba Sir?" He asked.

Calvin smiled "Hindi na po Kuya Felix, thank you po"

The man smiled and Calvin gestured me to follow him. I followed him, I'm still not over with how rich he might be. Baka hindi kami magkasundo sa bagay na 'yun. I used to do charity works. Some of my savings goes straight up to donations and advocacy funding.

But Calvin looks really down to earth. Maybe I could encourage him to fund some other programs I knew.

"I'm sorry if magulo sa living room. There are boxes because my things are there, I'm packing up" he says as we walk up to their house. Their house was like in a terrain platform or something kaya nakaangat. You need to walk a lot to go up there. There are farms around as we speak. Not just garden. Farm. And trees.

"Why are you packing up?" I asked

"I'm moving out. I don't like it here"

I don't know what to say. It was a really good house.. I don't know what else not to like about it. Maybe.. the people. Is he having family problems? Oh.. his dad has another family na diba? I guess.

"Can I ask why?"

"Of course you can" he said "Argument with Dad. Plus, I want to move in a smaller space. Look at it" he pointed at his house which we reached, and became bigger up close.

"It is so big yet so suffocating" he said

He argues with his Dad? How terrible could the reason be for Calvin to actually argue? He was like a golden retriever. I thought he doesn't even know how to hate.

"I'll tell you later, c'mon"

He showed me the way up. Parang nakakatakot umapak sa stairs dahil mamahalin ito. Wala ako masyadong alam sa interior design but it's very evident na mamahaling materials ang gamit. They must've hired a really good interior designer.
