War Upon the Sunrise | HS Side Story

Chapter Fifty-Eight

Another delightful Saturday came, the ray of sunshine passing through my bedroom's window makes me feel alive. I suddenly miss the sunrise in Trivino. I never get to see bright sunrises in Switzerland also because of the climate there. And here in our house, I could only get to see the sun rays, not the sunrise itself.

Kailan kaya ako makakabalik sa Trivino? Even though my memories there were not that good, there were still beauty upon the pain I had there. And I must not forget the part that I found comfort in that place.

I pursed my lips and went in front of my mirror as I wiped my wet hair. I am still wearing my bathrobe.

I looked at the mirror and checked my cheek. The cut left a scar but somehow it is not that obvious. I just kept on putting ointment on it for the scar to totally fade.

After wiping my hair, I plugged the blower and dried my hair. Then I changed my clothes into a white spaghetti strapped top and a denim short shorts.

I quickly went down stairs to help Mom cook for breakfast.

My Mom is always early every morning and Dad is always with her annoying her when he gets the chance.

Before I could even reach the living room, I heard some people talking. I wonder who's their visitor?

I then walked towards the living room but froze when I recognized the back of the man my parents are talking to. He is sitting on the long sofa across my parents. His back is on me.

Ano na namang ginagawa ni Lucas here sa bahay?!

My eyes widened a bit. Then my Mom's eyes lifted to look at me. I froze even more.

"Oh, Lucy's here. Honey, come here! You have a visitor," Mom called me in a cheerful way.

Somehow it made me feel relieved because at least my Mom is no longer hating on Lucas. She is also being respectful towards Lucas which I appreciate a lot.

Dad looked at me as well. "Come here, young lady. We need to talk to your visitor."

I bit my lower lip. Kinakabahan ako. I don't know what to do if Lucas would turn his head towards me. Parang I'm melting.

I slowly walked towards my Mom and Dad. I could feel how stiff I am and tried so hard not to look at Lucas' direction.

I smiled a bit at my parents as they waited for me to sit in between them.

Once I was seated, I glanced at Lucas in front of us.

He is wearing a simple black t-shirt and a jeans paired with white shoes. My heart went wild with his look today. It makes me remember the past Lucas.

This is him. This is what my Lucas looks like.

Not the one who wears expensive long sleeved polos.

But I love him in both.

"So, he asked us to bring you to Trivino again, honey. I was actually a bit hesitant kasi the two of you will be alone there. I told him na I will let you go if sasama si Nikoel. Would you agree with me, honey?" Mom started.

I looked at her. "Uhm..." I don't know what to say.

Kasi bakit need na nandoon si Nikoel?

"It is better if Nikoel would be there, young lady. Kasi I don't think I can sleep tight at night knowing that you're with a man," Dad spoke.

I turned my head towards him. "But you would let me be with Nikoel?" I asked him in a soft and slow manner.

Dad blinked and quickly nodded. "Oo. Yes."
