Goodbye is Forever (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 6

After 7 hours of travelling.....

Nagising ako sa tapik ni mommy. I'm resting my head on her shoulder.

"Sorry mommy. Mabigat ba ako?" Alala kong tanong.

"It's okay darling. Anyway, nasa Ilocos Norte na tayo! After 30 minutes siguro nasa Batac na tayo" nakangiti niyang sabi.

I just smiled. Tinignan ko si Daddy sa harapan at tulog siya. Humihilik pa. He's really tired.

Tumingin ako sa labas. It's almost 6 in the morning. The deeper album of Julie Anne is still playing. The song Right Where You Belong is rollicking.

Nagsisimula nang magliwanag. I automatically smiled when I saw the signage telling 'Welcome to Ilocos Norte'

In time, I will start to love this place. I want to keep all the memories that I would build here.

Habang nasa biyahe kami sa labas lang ako nakatingin, reading all the signages that we we're passing.

Napangiti ako ng makita ko ang maliwanag na rebulto ni Juan Luna at Antonio Luna here at Badoc. Nasa Ilocos na nga kami!

Palabas ng Badoc, I saw a signage of 'Welcome To Pinili'. I'm not familiar to this town pero sabi ni mommy maayos daw  dito. Yung asawa daw ni Tita Sandy na si Tito Brend ay maraming relatives sa Pinili. I wonder what this town look likes.

Sunod naman na nakita ko yung signage ng 'Currimao, Ilocos Norte'

"Anak, if you want to go to beaches. Punta lang kayo dito sa Currimao. Maraming dagat dito, just tell it to your Tita Sandy" napatingin ako kay mommy. Si daddy tulog pa rin.

"Yes mom. Sana may mga bagong friends ako dun" I smiled to her telling that I'm so excited. She just nod her head.

After we passed in a bridge, we stop in a gasoline station named Shell. I think we need to fill our tank.

"Ma'am saan po tayo dadaan? Diretso na po ba sa Batac or dadaan tayo ng Paoay?" Tanong ng driver kay mommy. Agad may lumapit na gasoline boy when we stop. Sinenyas naman ng driver kung ilan yung ikakarga.

"Daan na lang tayo sa Paoay. I really miss that place" sagot ni mommy. I wonder how many times they went here in Ilocos.

Mukhang kabisado na kasi lahat ni mommy yung mga places dito. I don't know. Nasa baguio ako last 4 years kaya I really don't know.

Isang beses lang akong pumunta sa bahay nila Tita Sandy. But we went here I think 2 years ago for my Fieldtrip 1 subject. Pagpipiliin ka kung saan mo gustong magfieldtrip. Sa amin noon, Ilocos or Davao ang choices. When I told it to Mom, she automatically suggested Ilocos para daw makita ko si Tita at ang anak niyang si Saffron. Pero dahil sa higpit ng security ng SLU hindi na ako nakapunta sa bahay nila Saff.

So it turned out, na walang silbi. Sana nag-Davao na lang ako.

When we are already in Paoay, I notice the famous Paoay Church. Ang ganda niya talaga! It's almost perfect. Sabi nila, this is the strongest church in the Philippines. Kasi kahit ang lakas na ng lindol hindi pa rin siya natitibag. Sana ganyan din sa love, kahit anong problema ang dumating walang relasyong masisira. But, it looks like that's impossible.
