chapter 11

"I wanted to eat somewhere.." I was inside of my father's house that he bought here in Korea. Bale rest house lang to, hindi malaki hindi rin naman sobrang liit. I also like the place, the fresh air, the ambience. Hindi malayo sa syudad pero ang ganda ng hangin na binibigay sa akin.

"What do you want?" Ate Hailey asked me, she's sitting on the other couch with her eye glasses on and looking at something on her laptop. "Mag oorder tayo o hindi kaya lulutuan na lang kita."

"I don't know but I just want to eat somewhere." My eyes landed on Raiden who just came out from the kitchen holding a strawberry juice, yan ang gusto ko kay Ate Hailey eh pero mas gusto ko yung dala ni Raiden, "Can I sip a little?"

Without any questions from him he handed me his juice and took a seat beside Ate Hailey. I cheered and got the juice from him, this is why I love him so much! Dad is in his room, taking a bath. Kaming tatlo lang ang nandito sa sala hinihintay s'yang lumabas.

Binalik ko naman kay Raiden ang baso at s'ya naman ang uminom non. We were waiting for my Father to came out kasi lalabas kami ngayon gagala sa Syudad. Literal na we were here in Seoul, South Korea but I wanted to go to Gwangju. Yun ang gustong gusto kong puntahan na lugar dito sa Korea.

While I was waiting for my father, my phone gave me notification from my messenger. It's Ian. Simula nung umalis kami sa Pilipinas nila Ate Hailey at Raiden ay hindi n'ya ako minissage which made me think of something, kasi before we takeoff I message him to let him know that we're taking off.

And it's been three days since we arrived here in Korea!

I open the chat head and reply but my eyes land on Ate Hailey and Raiden when someone clears its throat. Binigyan nila ako ng tingin but I am confused, what are they looking at? What kind of look is that?

"Kanina ang tamlay mo, ngayon may nag chat lang sayo nakikita ko na ang bituin sa palibot ng ulo mo." Puna ni Ate Hailey sa akin.

Nawala ang ngiti ko sa kanya, I glanced at my phone where the three dots showed up before looking back to them.

"Let me guess, its Ian." I nodded to Raiden, of course he will guessed it right kasi sya lang naman lagi yung kausap maliban sa pamilya ko.

"Ayan tayo, pumapag-ibig eh." Nahiya ako kay Ate Hailey, akala mo naman hindi nababaliw sa ka talking stage ngayon. "Malaki ka na, you already know what is right and what is wrong."

I pouted my lips, narinig ko rin yan kay Raiden dati when he found that I have a crush on Ian. Magkapatid nga talaga sila, halos pare-pareho sila ng sinasabi sa akin.

"Pumapag-ibig?"

We looked back in unison just to see my father walking down on the stairs, patingin-tingin s'ya sa amin habang bumaba sa hagdan. Bumalik ang tingin ko kina Ate Hailey and Raiden, they're waiting for me to say something but I have no words to say to my father.

When no one talked, my father did. Tinabihan n'ya ako. Hindi ako takot malaman n'ya na lumalandi na ako because sometimes he was the one who keep pushing me to find someone that I will love and cherish.

"Pumapag-ibig na ang anak ko? Just always remember that once you love someone, you will love only one person. I want you to be happy at kung saan ka masaya then go, I will support you and give you what you need." Saad ni Papa sa akin. "Wala akong problema kong may boyfriend ka na o kong ano man basta alam mo kung hanggang saan ang limitasyon mo."

I smiled and give Ate Hailey and Raiden a proud smile even though malayo pa yung sinasabi ni Papa sa akin. Sabi na eh! Walang problema sa kanya kung magka boyfriend na ako. Gusto na nga ata akong mag asawa eh, which is I don't want to.
