My Destination (MY Series #3)

Travel 39

Travel 39

It's been a week since that day and I know Danna is still anxious. Hindi ko siya masisisi dahil kilala niya ako kung paano ako magalit.

Isang linggo na at hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala.

Sobrang dali lang naman na sabihin sa akin kung sino talaga si Uno at Jah. I genuinely asked them but they didn't tell me the truth. Nung nalaman ko naman na Enriquez si Uno, hindi naman ako nag-wala o hindi naman ako naging masama sa kaniya instead we even became close.

Malaki ang galit ko sa mga Enriquez at siguro mas nadagdagan ngayon dahil sa pangyayari.

"Danna?"

"S-Seah?"

"Are you hiding something to me?"

She shook her head. "None! It's just..."

"What?"

"Nakabalik na kasi si Wia, gano'n din daw sila Jah pati yung mga kasama niyo doon. In short lahat sila nakauwi and Wia wants to meet-"

"Ingat ka." I said and locked my door.

Wala akong panahon para makipag-kita sa kahit na kanino sa kanila. Alam kong walang kinalaman dito si Yvonne at Maverick pero ayoko na rin muna silang makita, the three could use them to bait me and I would hate them even more if they do that. The safest thing to do right now is not to interact to any of them.

I want a peaceful life. No traitors, no liars.

Mula nang makabalik ako ay binigyan agad ako ng trabaho ni Dad. Pinigilan pa siya nung una ni Mommy pero hinayaan ko na lang, gusto ko rin na maging busy para hindi ko gaanong maisip ang tungkol sa nangyari.

I literally distracted myself for the whole week.

I hate for being so understanding but I just can't be fooled again, wala na akong tiwala sa kanila.

I spent my time finishing these paperworks, sobrang dami nito pero bilang na lang ang natira sa akin.

I decided to get something to eat, nakakaramdam na rin kasi ako ng gutom. Downstairs I saw Mommy and Daddy.

"Hi." I greeted.

"Seah, sit down and let the maids give you a food." Mom said.

"Sit down." Dad said.

I did what I was told. Tumingin ako sa itaas para masilip si Danna pero hindi ko siya nakita doon, hindi ko alam kung nasa kwarto ba siya o umalis na.

"How was your vacation?" Mommy asked.

I looked at her. I don't know if this is the first time I will tell them how was my vacation. Dad is even here, is he also willing to listen?

"Is it okay to-"

"Go ahead, Seah." Dad said.

I sigh first. "It was nice." I answered.

Both of them laugh a little, hindi naman sila yung tipo ng parents na sobrang lapit sa akin. We're close yes but we are not close as in close. Sakto lang. Hindi ko lang inaasahan na gusto nilang malaman kung anong nangyari sa bakasyon ko at ngayon ay parehas pa silang natatawa dahil sa akin.

Maybe this is the first time I had a lightweight conversation with my parents.

Especially with Dad, after the issue, I ran away not just to hide but also to heal myself. Ngayon na lang ulit kami nag-kita at nag-usap ng ganito ka-lapit.

"You can tell us everything, Seah. We'll listen." Mom said.

Muli akong lumunok dahil doon. Hindi ako sanay sa ganito pero gusto ko rin naman na mag-kwento sa kanila.

"Well at first I did nothing but to stroll and observe the place. We were with Wia's parents then next weeks, Tita's friends came with their children. Naging close ko pa yung kambal doon and they really loved me. I also went to what they called siyudad and tuktok. I bought those gifts I gave you in siyudad, some are handmade and some aren't. After weeks everyone left except for us, then next days Wia's close friends came and we all became friends..." I said.

I lost my energy from the last sentences. Now I can't proudly say that they're my friends.

"You had fun there right?"

"Yes, Mom."

"Now I understand why you do traveling. It makes you happy." Daddy whispered.

I looked at him but his gaze are still on his plate.

"I didn't know you're this happy on your traveling. I'm glad you know how to have fun, Seah. Work on our company for three months and I will give you another months to travel or do whatever you want. Finish your food." He said and left us here.

Mom smiled to me and left me here too.

Nangilid agad ang luha ko nang hindi ko na sila makita. Hindi ko man nasabi sa kanila ang issue, masaya ako na nakita nila ang pinakadahilan kung bakit palagi akong umaalis.

Kung bakit gusto ko palaging magpakalayo-layo.

Experience? Fun? Healing? Yes, those are my reasons and those reasons are so important to my life.

Malaking bagay na sa akin kapag nakapunta ako sa isang lugar at alam ko sa sarili ko na babalikan ko 'yon dahil doon pa lang sigurado na akong naging masaya ako sa lugar na iyon at naging successful ako sa pag-heal sa sarili ko.

Just like the beach, siyudad and tuktok.

But now I don't know if I can go back there with a smile on my face.

Kinabukasan ay ipinatawag ako ni Daddy sa office. I'm wearing a formal attire.

The guards and employees greets me, wala akong pinansin sa kahit na sino. Dumire-diretso lang ako papuntang elevator.

The elevator opens and no one is there, this is a good start I guess. Wala akong kasama sa elevator.

After reaching ten floors, the elevator door's open. I walk backwards to give more space to whom it was, I am not even looking since I am busy to my phone.

I heard the elevator door's close. Nang mag-bukas ulit ito ay tinignan ko na ang floor at nasa floor na ako kung saan ang office ni Daddy.

Lalabas na sana ako pero nalaglag naman ang bracelet ko. Kukuhanin ko pa lang sana 'yon pero mabilis niyang iniabot sa akin.

Hindi nawala ang tingin ko sa kaniya, nasa kamay ko na ang bracelet ko pero sa kaniya pa rin nakatuon ang atensyon ko.

"Good day Ma'am and Sir you can now go to Director's office."

Bumalik ang tingin ko sa kaniya. How dare he put his feet here? Ang kapal naman niya.

"Miss Yang? Sir Rodriguez?"

"I'll go." I said and leave him there.

Alam ko na nasa likuran ko lang siya ngayon, hindi ko alam kung bakit ako nagkakaganito pero sobrang bigat sa puso na makita siya ngayon.

After a week I see him again. I could say this is a different Jah to Jah that I used to know.

Oh right. He's still an Enriquez, he's good at deceiving people.

"Dad- I mean Director Yang." I said.

"Take a seat." He said.

"Good morning, director." Jah greeted.

Dad smiled to him. "Seah you can wait here for a while." Dad said and they went to the next room.

Jah took a glance of me but I looked away. Despite of his cold expression his eyes looks so worried. Wala na dapat akong pakialam sa kaniya pero 'yon agad ang napansin ko sa kaniya.

I'll never trust him again, either his words or his acts.
