PURSUIT OF DESTINY (OnGoing)

Pursuit of Destiny- Blessing in Disguise

5 YEARS AGO

Jaye's POV

Meet Jaye Lustre.

I'm the only child. My parents got separated because my father was a jerk. I was only 2 years old when my father left us for another family. Since then, I'd grown hatred for him and the hate goes deeper as time goes by.

I would hear my mother, Alyssa Lustre, cry at nights and that makes me hate my father even more.

"How could he do this to us? I don't know what to do without your father, Jaye. I'm dying inside. This pain is slowly killing me", my Mom would say, repeatedly. I just kept on listening to her, why, if only I have words to say to comfort her. If only I could do something just to ease the pain she has, I would. I love her so much and it pained me to see her wasting her life because of what my father did.

"Mom, come on, everything will be alright, eventually", I would always say but honestly, I don't know when it's gonna happen.

Days became months. Months became years and God knows how we hardly survived those years. We got nothing but each other, and my mom wouldn't give up. She still managed to send me to school where she works as a cook. There she met someone, someone who is not like any other guy.

Fortunately, after 7 years my Mom got married to a wealthy bachelor, the famous Joash Del Rosario. No doubt, my mom at her age is still amazingly stunning. She got a beautiful round face, a straight pointed noise, a kissable lips and a slender body any man could fall for, though she's already 45 years of age.

This man owns a lot of business enterprises. Chain of restaurants, malls, and hardwares, to name a few of his possession. I never stopped my mother about her decision to remarry, as long as she's happy then I would also be happy for her.

Our life changed in just a blink of an eye. Her man is generous. He has given us everything we needed. All the luxury. Gadgets, cars, branded clothes and bags, expensive watches, Limited Edition footwears and the like. He also hired bodyguards and maids for me. I was 9 years old then. He treated me like I was his own.

We are happy. We are contented Somehow this is life for me. This is the life I've grown to but it has to change.

I'm entering college now and I have thought about this over and over before. I want to challenge myself that I can be good of something. Something that I can call my possession. I'm moving out from this mansion, I'm moving out from this island, from my bodyguards and maids and from my family. From my mother.

"Are you insane?", my mother yelled.
"What has gotten into your mind? Jaye, son, you don't need to prove something. I can't let you go.please son, don't leave me here", she pleaded.

"Sorry mom, I've made up my mind. Please just give this up for me. I need this. It's not like I'm gonna leave you for good. I promise I will call you when I get to Spain. You can accompany me to the airport, though. Don't be sad mom. I love you so much and I'm gonna miss you."

My mom couldn't do anything to stop me from leaving.
Now, we're on our way to the airport. She didn't stopped crying and wailing, telling me to always call and if something happened to me I should come back home. I laugh. My mom is amazing!
I already have my passport, boarding pass and ticket. I'm just waiting for the flight. All is settled.

I bid goodbye.

I lined up and suddenly I realized that my passport is missing. How unfortunate of me to drop my passport just like that. One minute I'm holding it and now it's gone! How I'm gonna supposed to move on without it?
