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

08

I should be waking up around 7 or 8 but I woke up earlier than what I've expected. I guess tita and Tito is not around dahil sa pagkaka alam ko ay may pinuntahan sila kasama si dad sa Italy.

Ah damn, Italy is where Chandria live! Nakalimutan kong magpa sabi ng kahit 'hi' man lang.

I was thinking if she's finally okay now. There's a rumour spreaded, 3 years ago about her. Madaming nag sasabi na temporary muna siyang tumigil sa pag va-violin right after Tita Elaiza died.

There's also a rumour that her relationship with her father was really bad to the point na ito na ang naging rason kung bakit mentally unstable si Chance.

That's the only thing I've heard about her. She deleted all of her social media accounts that's why she's no where to be found.

Right when I'm about to sit at the dining table, I've received a new notification which is a messages from Luke, AGAIN!

"Hi, bonjour"

"Mind if I invite you for breakfast?"

"10 am naman start ng class mo, right?"

"Pumayag ka pls:>"

Tinatad niya ako ng naka puppy eyes na emoji. Tinadtad niya ang messenger ko ng isa sa pinaka nakaka diring emoji! Aga-aga, nang ga-gago na.

Nag reply na lang ako ng 'ok.' with matching period para mag mukhang galit parin ako.

He eventually sent an avatar na nag fa-flying kiss! Ka dugyot ba?! Napa make face na lang tuloy ako.

Since maaga pa naman, I change my PJs into leggings and sleeveless shirt to do simple stretching and work out na rin sa may terrace ng kwarto ko.

I watch how the sun rises up from here, a freshly new beginning of the day.

"May Saturday class ka pa?" Tanong ni Scarlet sa kabilang linya.

Katatapos ko lang maligo kanina, on going akong nagbibihis nang bigla siyang tumawag.

"Yes," I answered while I'm still getting my hair done. "But, good thing is that, 10 am naman ang start."

"10 am tapos nag bibihis ka na?" Angal niya

" Alam mo na man na girl scout ako 'di ba?" Pang ga-gaslight ko.

" Ikaw? Oo naman. Girl scout ka pag may importanteng pupuntahan." And tumpak, she got me.

Natahimik tuloy ako. I pressed my lips together knowing that she really know a lot of things about me.

"Parang may nararamdaman akong something we called kababalaghan?" Pang aasar niya. I may not seeing her face right now but I know that she's already giving me the most devilish smile.

"Omg! Look at that, tumatawag na si papa. Babye. Te amo!"

"H-Hoi—" Hindi ko na siya hinayaang makapag salita pa, agad ko na talagang in-end ang call saka tiningnan ang sarili ko sa salamin.

Ba't parang ang weird naman masyado kung pupunta ako ng restaurant, early in the morning na naka off shoulder dress?

I quickly change my outfit into an off shoulder top paired with cargo pants. Teka, ang boyish! Baka isipin ng iba kapatid lang niya ako!

Agad akong kumuha ng panibagong damit. A black flounce skirt with 3 buttons paired with dark brown turtle neck. People would definitely be looking at my hair if I cascaded it down so I just tied it in a messy bun.
