Sabi nung iba, maging mayaman lang daw sila, magiging masaya na ang buhay nila pero hindi rin masaya ang buhay mayaman. Oo, nagagawa mo ang gusto mo pero ang daming matang nakatingin sayo para husgahan ka.
Bumalik ako dito sa Pilipinas para sa nanay ko. I am a part of a broken family at sa kasamaang palad, only child ako. 8 years ago, pumunta ako sa States para sa grand father ko sa side ni daddy but he died 2 weeks ago. My dad needed my help sa business nila kaya ako ang mag mamanage ng branch sa Philippines. We own a company that imports wine all around the world.
Daddy calling...
"Yes dad?"
"Nasa Pinas ka na ba?"
"Uh-huh why?"
"Punta ka sa adress na ibibigay ko at kunin mo yung papeles na kakailanganin mo. Understood?"
"Yes dad"
"Okay sweety, I need to hang up. Bye"
Call ended...
Wala pang 5 minutes, nasend na ni dad yung adress. Nasa labas na din ng airport yung driver namin so dumiretso na kami sa adress na binigay ni dad.
I rang the door bell and an old woman opened the door.
"Good afternoon po. Im Marion Frizé Sanchez. Pinapunta po ako ni Mr. Joseph Sanchez."
"Ah, you must be his daughter. Come in."
Pumasok na ako sa loob.
"Please sit down. Kukunin ko lang yung papeles."
Pinaupo nya ako sa living room at umakyat sya.
"Curse you ugly peice of shit!"
What the?
Ugly piece of what!?
"Are you referring to me mister?" Tanong ko sa lalaking naka tayo sa may staircase na naka...
"Holy shit! Who are you? Why are you here? Don't you know how to knock?"
"Im sorry but I rang your doorbell thrice and a woman let me in. And I find it rude for you to stand in front of me wearing only your boxer shorts."
"I didn't force you to look at my oh-so-sexy body." And what the? Did he just smirked?
"Oh-so-sexy your face."
"Miss Sanchez, here are the- why are you here Jayden?"
"Because Rebecca is bothering me! Imagine, she climbed our terrace just to annoy me!? Mom! Get rid of that ugly retarded monkey!"
"Go to your room. I'll fix that later. Marion, hija, pag pasensyahan mo na yung bunso ko ah. Spoiled kasi eh. Eto nga pala yung papeles."
"It's okay ma'am. I understand. I need to go. Thank you mrs?"
"Mrs. Rivera." And she smiled.
After kong umalis dun, dumiretso ako sa kfc.
"Welcome to kfc ma'am. What's your order?"
"Uhm ate isang duo meal b tapos pa up-crush ng Krushers tapos extra mashed potato tsaka large fries."
"Ano pong flavor ng krushers?"
"Rocky road."
"Is that all po?"
"Ayy wait ate, dagdagan mo pa ng coleslaw tsaka brownies tapos korean bibimbap"
"Dine in po or take out?"
"Take out."
Then binayadan ko na. Grabe ang takaw ko noh? Galing kasi sa byahe eh
"Marion? Is that you?"
"Uhm yeah but do I know you?"
"Dale Tan? Dont you remember me?"
"Ate Dale? Waaaah!! Di kita namukaan! Anong pinag gagawa mo? Musta na?"
"Eto, maganda padin! Hahaha! May asawa at anak nako. Actually kasama ko sila ngayon. Hon! Come here!"
"Grabe! Ang gwapo ng hubby mo ah!"
"Haha syempre. Babe, meet Marion Sanchez. My little sister hahaha. Marion, this is my husband, Blake Smith. These are my sons. Ice and Dylan. Meet your tita Marion."
"Hi tita Marion!"
"Hello! You guys are so cute! Give me a kiss." At nilahad ko ang pisngi ko sa kanila and they kissed me.
"We already know that tita! But I'm cuter than Dylan."
"You're just cute! Im handsome! right tita?"
"Ma'am here's your order have a nice day!"
"Haha i almost forgot my food haha. Wait, before i leave, let's take a selfieee!"
Naka 24 shots kami sa phone ko haha. Ang cute ng anak ni ate Dale. Sana mameet ko ulit sila.
Dahil maaga pa, pumunta ako sa isang lugar na wala masyadong tao. Dun ako kumain. Hindi ko alam kung anong tawag dito sa lugar na to basta may upuan sya tapos may tables pero walang tao. Malinis pa naman sya kaya masarap tumambay dito pag gusto mong mapag isa.
" They say bad things happen for a reason...But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding... Cause he's moved on while I'm still grieving... And when a heart breaks no it don't break even.."
Andaming nangyari sa isang buwan. Namatay si Lolo, iniwan ako ng best friend ko, nag break kami ni Tyler. Ano naman kayang sunod?
Iniyak ko nalang lahat ng dinadala ko.
"Am I not enough? Am I too irresponsible? Ano pa bang kulang sakin?"
"Kulang sayo, appreciation. Appreciate yourself kasi, kung sino man yang iniiyakan mo, he's not worth your tears."
Napalingon ako sa nag salita.
"Ikaw?"
"Oo, ako. May problema ka?"
"Wala."
"Im Jayden. Jayden Rivera. You are?"
"Marion. Marion Sanchez."
"Nice to meet you."
"Why are you here? Pano mo nalaman tong lugar na to?"
"This is my hiding place actually. Ang galing nga eh nakita mo."
"I gotta go."
Umalis agad ako sa lugar na yun. Bakit? Nakita ko lang naman si Ryan sa may entrance nung lugar.
Hindi naman ako ganito dati eh. Sana, nanatili nalang ako sa estado ng buhay ko noon...
