The Laurier Series 2: Meet Me At The Royal Opera House

07

"Is this jealousy?" I asked as I rested my face on the table.

Kausap ko ngayon ang best friend ko na si Scarlet through video call, I really did have a good time in here to the point that I almost forgot that she exist, that's kinda rude though. But hell yeah, I misses her so much.

"Jealous? Kanino? Ikaw, magseselos? Ni hindi ka nga na a-attract kahit kanino eh," Angal niya.

"Seriously? Mukha ba akong manhid?" I almost got to rolled my eyes, "One more thing, hindi naman ako sigurado kung selos yung nararamdaman ko"

"Tell me what happened."

Thinking about what happened lately made me want to sabotage someone. That girl na kumakausap pala sa kaniya ay anak ng best friend ng stepmom ni Luke, and her name was Karylle Espinoza, she's known as one of the best sop opera singer, laging number 1 siya sa ratings parang si Luke, kaya lagi silang ipinag du-duo sa bawat contest or events!

Nakaka gigil, I was expecting Luke to come up with me para samahan ako dahil wala man lang akong kilala. Plus, everyone was competitive out there! I caught the ballet master's attention. He said that I have such a perfect art of dancing. Yet, I am proud 'cause of course! I was trained with so much discipline 'no, si mother na 'yon eh.

He even told me that I have a lot of potential.

Pero 'yun nga, dikit ng dikit si ate girl kay Luke! The nerve! Sa sobrang inis ko, hindi ko siya pinansin. Kahit noong kinukulit niya ako pauwi na sasabay siya, hindi ko siya pinansin. Tapos may epal na pumigil sa kaniya sa pangungulit sa akin. I was expecting for him to reject her invitations na kumain along with her mom which is the principal of the university na pinag enroll-an ko, if only i knew, hindi sana ako ganito ka badtrip 'no?

Sa buong buhay ko, parang Wala na akong ginawa kundi ang magreklamo sa mga nangyagari sa'kin. Maski ata guardian angel ko mapapa 'punyeta' sa pabago-bagong kamalasan sa buhay ko eh.

Kung Hindi kalungkutan, galit, kung hindi naman galit, inis at sama ng loob.

"Nagseselos ka nga," She agreed. "Hey, congrats! Dalaga ka na!" Pang aasar Niya pa lalo!

But annoyance disappear when realization had hits me.

"My mother would not agree with this kind of stuff" I took a deep breath

"Hell yes, cause all she wants you to do is to put your careers and priorities first, but babe! Keep in mind that falling in love is a part of someone's life! Ilang taon ka na, my God! " Napa sapo siya sa kaniyang noo. " Sometimes in life, babe. You have to be free. Kaya, wag kang matakot ma in love kasi nasa Spain ka, okay? She won't find out. Sure Ako." She said with overflowing confidence.

" Bye na. I'm tired, I need to sleep" I wave my hand at the camera.

"Yeah, yeah, nighty night. Sleep tight," She replied before I ended the call. I sighed, feeling exhausted. I turn my laptop off before diving in my bed.

"Don't put too much pressure to yourself, Eleonor. You have to live your life to the fullest," There's a light of hope I saw into Lourese's eyes.

I was still kid back then, even if I can't remember the happiest memories we've made, her words have been stuck up in my mind forever. I miss her so much. If only I could bring back time...

I tightly hug my pillow before dozing off to sleep.

"Hi, good morning," Luke greeted. Hindi ko siya pinansin, bad mood ako hoi! Paputol-putol ang tulog ko kagabi. Ayun, wala tuloy akong gana makipag usap kahit kanino.
