War Upon the Sunrise | HS Side Story

Chapter Forty-Five

I gaped as I looked around the field of flowers filled with tulips in different colors. I could see the mountain view looking bluish from afar and the windmills keep turning. The flowers radiate beauty even with their difference.

Just like these flowers, every girl should know that they have their own unique beauty as well. Different but beautiful.

I smiled and captured a lot of photos of the flowers, from afar and close up. I also took selfies. Then I posted it on my instagram.

Seconds later, I received a heart from my Mom and left a comment on my post.

The field is so pretty. I miss being there.

I smiled and typed a reply.

I am still standing in the middle of the field and I have no plans on leaving yet.

you should come here again with dad, mom.

the place didn't change at all! super ganda!

I then looked around me again. It is amazing how the keepers of this field can maintain the cleanliness and the health of the flowers. Gusto ko bigla manghingi ng flowers nila at dalhin sa bahay.

The air is so fresh. Maybe because the flowers are everywhere. The temperature is helping the tourists enjoy as well because even though the sky is clear, it is not hot or humid. It is a good weather to walk around the field without getting sunburned.

"Wah! I can stay here for the rest of my life if they'd let me," I whispered as I sat on the path in the middle of the flowers.

I smiled and look at the people around me. They brought their families with them and are happily taking photos of each other.

Siguro it's nicer kung nandito sina Mom and Dad. Nikoel too.

My phone suddenly rang. I immediately looked at it and saw that my Mom is calling on FaceTime.

I immediately answered it and saw my Mom's happy face on the phone.

"Hi, Mom!" I greeted here quickly.

She waved her hand on the camera. "Hello, honey! How are you there? You're still at the field?"

Her hair is on a bun and she is wearing a simple white long sleeve which I think is a dress. I also guess that she is at our house because of her background.

I nodded. "Yes po!" I held my phone higher to let her see the view of the field. "See? Wala pa akong plan umuwi. It's so pretty in here kasi. Also, they told me na the sunset is really pretty dito. I might wait."

"I'm glad you love it there. Why you're not with someone? You still haven't made friends there?" she asked.

"I made friends. But they're all in a relationship. Baka maging third wheel lang ako. I don't want that!" I said and pouted.

She laughed. "You should get a boyfriend already so that you won't be a third wheel to anybody. I am certain there are a lot of good looking boys there in Switzerland. Why not date some?"

I laughed and shook my head. I can't believe the day would come that my Mom would ask me to date someone. Dati she was so mad at me for telling her na mahal ko si Lucas.

Speaking of Lucas. Kumusta na kaya siya?

"What? You have a guy in mind?" Mom asked when I was not able to respond to her.

I quickly looked at the camera. "Oh! No, no, Mom! Walang lalaki."

Yes, there was.

"I know a cute boy in my neighborhood," I told her.
