CHAPTER ONE

One sweet kiss can blow away all the thought off your mind.

Flashback

I OPENED MY EYES SLOWLY as the sunlight that was passing through my uncurtained window touched my face, another typical day where I need to wake up early to study. I roamed my eyes around my room for a moment before deciding to stand up and made my way to the comfort room.

I took my clothes off and turned the shower on. I moaned as I felt the cold morning water on my body. I did my morning routine on shower and turned it off.

Right after I'm done, I went downstairs for breakfast. There I saw Mama, cooking breakfast while Papa is already sitting on his place, reading newspaper with his long sleeves and tie and coffee in front of him.

"Good Morning, Pa," I gave Papa a kiss on his left cheek; he just flashed me a smile and nodded slowly, "Good Morning, Ma." I also greeted Mama as she put the bacon and egg in front of me.

"Good Morning." Mom replied as she planted soft kiss on my right cheek.

"Hanggang kailan pa ang pasok niyo?" Papa asked as he sipped on his coffee. I helped myself get some bread before answering.

"Papa naman, siyempre hanggang March pa," I answered as I filled my own plate with egg and bacon.

"Just asking." Papa said while shrugging his shoulder.

"Oo nga naman, hon." Mama giggled.

"Sabi ko naman sa inyo na kaya ko na. Matanda na ako at kaya ko na."

Nagtinginan silang dalawa at hindi sumagot. I was just on my second year college, studying Business Management and as of them, next year we will migrate to Paris since Papa was given a chance to have a career there.

He's one of the Manager of WCS or William Construction Supply which is under William Group of Companies and as of him, that's what he really wanted since he's been working on that company for quite some times now.

Hindi kami mayaman, isa na rin siguro sa mga dahilan kaya masyadong nasasabik si Mama na makapunta sa Paris dahil kung sakali ay iyon ang magiging unang beses na makakasakay siya ng eroplano.

"P'wede naman. Pero ayaw ka naming iwanan dito, alam mo naman na tatlo lang tayo sa pamilya. Atsaka makakapag-aral ka ulit doon ng fashion designing at ang kumpanya ang sasagot, hindi ba at iyon naman talaga ang gusto mo?" Papa said.

As I heard the fashion-designing-thing, I suddenly smiled.

They're right. I have always wanted to be a fashion designer, and back when I was still a kid, I was always telling them that I'll never get that course if it's not on Paris.

"Yup. Sasama ako sa inyo at magaaral ulit sa Paris." I said with a hint of smile on my face.

"Eh bakit ipinagpapatuloy mo pa ang pagaaral mo dito?" Mama asked.

"Naumpisahan ko na kasi. Atsaka hindi ko na tatapusin ang buong apat na taon. Dalawang taon na lang kasi sayang ang diploma." That's how it goes in our university. For the first two years, we will receive a diploma that we already ended two years.

"Oo na, panalo ka na. Basta ang usapan ay aalis na tayo sa susunod na taon at buwan ng marso, maliwanag?" Papa asked. I smiled and nodded slowly.

"Sige na po, aalis na ako!" Tugon ko at agad na tumakbo pabalik ng kwarto ko para makapag-toothbrush.

I took my toothbrush and put an ample amount of toothpaste in it before brushing my teeth. I spit it on the sink, open the faucet for water, gurgle and spit it again. Right after I'm done, I get my handbag so I can finally go to school.
