Chapter 2: My Arrival

|My Arrival|

Arriving at the airport in the Philippines made me so happy but meeting my dad made my day.

_____

Umawang yung aking mga mata nung nakarating nako sa pinas, they were someone waiting for me, with a board that says my name.

I don't know who the person is pero daddy called me last night and said that someone will be waiting for me when I arrived, i figured that he'll be very busy to get me kaya i was okay with it.

Nevertheless I waved at the guy who was holding the board with a single yellow rose in his hands.

"Ophelia" he smiled and get my stuff handing me the flower.

Napangiti ako "what does a yellow rose mean?" I asked.

We walked out sa airport at pumunta sa sasakyan nya "it means I'm giving you a warm welcome, phel" he answered and put the luggage in the back, tinignan nya ako at ngumiti.

I stared at him dahil kanina nya pa ako tinatawag sa aking pangalan na parang close kami kaya napatangon nako.

"Who are you, by the way?" I asked him at pumunta sya sakin and  opened the car door for me.

Pumasok na rin sya at mahinang tumawa, "oh right, I'm your cousin" he said and then starts the car engine, "Oliver Velasquez, tito is still busy and he asked me to get you" he looked at me and drive away.

Mahina akong tumango "it's my first time meeting a relative sa dad side ko" sabi ko naman at napalingon sya sakin.

His eyebrow shot up "Nice meeting you then Ophelia" he replied smiling a little.

I was looking at the window in silence, enjoying what I'm seeing, the feeling I'm experiencing right now is overwhelming i feel so happy and excited, pero nag salita ulit si Oliver kaya napatingin ako sa kanya.

"I know you're tired so we're going straight at tito's house" he continued kaya tumango nalang ako, also feeling jetlagged.

So this is what jetlagg feels..sakit ng ulo ko.

I keep quiet and rest my head to rest a little hanggang naka tulog nalang ako.

Naramdaman ko na may tumatawag sakin kaya napadilat ako at Naka ramdam ng pagod.

Pag mulat ko nakita ako agad si Oliver sa tabi ko calling my name, when he saw na i was awake he smiled and left the car, tumawid sya sa harapan ng sasakyan at binuksan na rin yung pinto para sakin.

Leaving the car, i stretched my body and felt excited again, nakita ko yung bahay ni daddy ay napangiti na agad ako.

It was very comfy, a two floor house with a small front yard and a big garage.

The house was enough for a family to live in, three bedrooms and four bathrooms. It's very spacious.

The decorations was so minimalist, it was very daddy, kaya napatawa ako.

Mom and dad is very different but they really compliment each other.

Oliver lead the way sa kwarto ko at pag bukas ng pinto ay bigla akong napatingin sa buong kwarto it was painted in white with a whole length window, kaya napangiti ako dahil alam ni papa na ayaw ko sa madilim na mga lugar.
