OS #4: Claws of Dominance

12th Dominance

Post

Sinuyod ko ng ang pamilyar na kwarto. Walang nagbago sa loob ng dalawang taon na nawala ako pero nanatili iyong malinis.

"Inday, dito ko lang ilalagay ang bagahe mo, ha."

Napalingon ako sa kasambay at tumango. "Sige po, Ate."

"Dito ka na ba mananatili pansamantala?"

Akala ko lalabas pa siya pero pinanood niya ako na may ngiti sa labi. She looks happy that I am here.

I smiled too. "Until I graduate college po."

Mama and Papa had decided to let me study college here in exchange I will take up Business Management. I have already agreed with this before I figured out what I really wanted... which is modeling.

Although, I had already thought about joining commercials or just momentary works that others can offer to gain more experience here. Kasi baka iba ang paraan nila dito hindi kagaya sa Spain.

It's a shame though that I stopped what I started. I told the agency 2 weeks before I left that I will be leaving Spain. Camila even gave me a goodbye gift which is a summer dress that I once modeled for a small brand.

I'm thankful for her too. If she didn't approach me that time, I probably won't find this part of me.

"Mabuti naman at ganoon! Anong gusto mong pagkain? Lulutuan ba kita o baka gusto mo ng magpahinga?"

"Busog pa po ako sa pagkain sa plane, Ate. Bukas na lang po, mahaba din kasi ang naging byahe."

She nodded before heading out.

I haven't told anyone here that I have arrived, even Gabriel. I planned to tell him probably tomorrow, I don't know since he might be also busy. College na din kasi siya.

Pagod na humiga ako sa aking higaan habang nag-iisip kung ano na ang gagawin ko bukas.

I am already enrolled in a University but it has been more than 2 months since they started which is also when I started packing in Spain so yes, obviously I'm late.

I don't mind though, I'm sure my parents did something for them so I don't have to catch up with the lessons here anymore. So it will be fine if I go to school a week later since today is Tuesday.

Anyways, I will probably go shopping tomorrow for new clothes, buy a bit of make-up, and school materials. I want to be stylish on my first day of school, may uniform naman na ako but I will have to alter it to fit my style.

Sa dami ng iniisip ko muntikan pa akong makatulog habang suot pa rin ang damit na pinambyahe.

I lazily went to my walk-in closet and choose any sleeping wear I can find. Kukuha na sana ako ng tuwalya ng may mapansing paper bag sa ibaba.

Nabitawan ko ang hawak na damit sa sahig at kinuha iyon.

Agad kong naalala ang unang naramdaman ng malamang regalo niya sa akin ito.

It was the gift he gave me when he came back from Japan.

I took the box out and open it. The snowball looks just the same as the day he gave it to me.

I remembered not wanting to display it in my room after I arrived because I'm afraid it would fall and shatter by me or the maids.

Hindi ako makapaniwala na nakalimutan ko ito. This was his gift that I didn't have the chance to give something in return.

I shake the snowball and sighed. The white particles are now floating.

Gabriel said he's in college now, they're at the same university. He took up Culinary Arts and had plans in going into the same field as his parents does.
