Chapter 2 ♥ Secret Love

CHAPTER 2 ♥ Secret Love

SEIRAN’s POV

(GREENHOUSE— Hang-Yun University)

Hang-Yun University is an exclusive and a well-known largest school in Tagaytay. It is owned by my grandfather, Lee Jeong Kim. Hang-Yun is not just exclusive for Koreans but also for anyone who can afford, as well. Sa katunayan nga, lahat ng kilalang tao sa lipunan at mga taong galing sa mayayamang pamilya ay dito nag-aaral. Hang-Yun University was titled to be the most luxurious school in the Philippines.

        It is the legacy of my grandfather to his beloved wife. And that is my Grandma, Lola Beatrice.  Their love story was like a You-And-Me-Against-The-World. More than like Romeo and Juliet. A love that set no rules, no boundaries.

        

        Since Grandpa was a pure-blooded Korean and my Grandma was a Filipina, naging malaking issue sa kanilang dalawa ang nationality ng bawat isa. It became their biggest problem and hindered their relationships. Tutol ang pamilya ni Lolo sa pag-iibigan nilang dalawa. They didn’t want my grandfather to marry a woman that is out of their nationality. Ayaw nila kay Lola para kay Lolo dahil lang sa iba ang lahi niya. Wala siyang dugong-Korean. But Grandpa didn’t let go of my Grandma. Kinontra niya ang tradisyon ng lahi niya at ipinaglaban ang pag-iibigan nila. It is true that love can change everything, even your own belief in life. Love conquers all. Love is powerful and no one can defeat nor run away with it. And my grandparents prove it.

           

       “Hey, Seiran. What’s up?” Naramdaman ko ang pagtapik ng pinsan kong si Gray sa balikat ko. He’s also my co-band member and the guitarist of Jiggzer. “Gusto mo bang sumama sa hangout namin after ng album launching mamaya?”

       

        “I don’t know. Wala ako sa mood.” wala ganang sagot ko kay Gray.

      

        Hindi ako nag-angat ng tingin habang abala ako sa pagtugtog sa gitarang hawak ko. Gray just sits on the other couch in front of me while sipping on his brandy. 

      

       We are at the Greenhouse. Sakop pa rin ito ng Hang-Yun University ngunit nasa malayong parte lang ito. Dito ang tambayan namin kapag gusto naming mag-relax o hindi kaya ay mag-stay kapag walang klase. Since bakasyon ngayon, we are here just to relax ourselves para sa album launching namin mamaya.

       

        This place was named Greenhouse because of its breath-taking view of lake from afar. Marami ring mga halaman at bulaklak ang nakatanim sa paligid ng Greenhouse. It was a glass house dahil gawa sa salamin ang bawat paligid ng bahay. Kaya kahit nasa loob ay kitang-kita pa rin ang magandang tanawin mula sa labas. And with the cold breeze of Tagaytay plus the perfect scenery of the Lake, Greenhouse was really a relaxing place. Kaya naman nandito na rin ang composing studio ko para sa paggawa ko ng mga kanta. The whole place motivates and inspires me when I’m writing a song.

      “Oh man, masyado ka nang nami-miss ng mga chicks mo. Aren’t you come over to visit them? Matagal-tagal ka na ring hindi sumasama sa mga hangout namin.”

        Boses ni Shaun ang narinig kong nagsalita. Kasama nito si Rui habang naglalaro ng dart. They’re both grinning at me. This two were my other co-band member and my cousins, as well. Shaun the drummer and Rui the bassist.
