I was walking along the seashore while thinking about such things.
Malamig at masarap ang simoy ng hangin. Dinig na dinig pa ang mga malalakas na Hampas ng alon.
I wonder if there are really sea creatures? I wonder if there are real mermaids and sea dragons?
Well, what can you Expect in a 5 years old girl whose walking alone in the seashore.
"Jelianne, where have you been sweety? Your mom is freaking out again" dad said when i got back at the Casa de Amante.
"Im sorry dad, I was just looking for something" I said.
"Oh gosh baby! Youre doing it again. Can you please stop looking for that 'thing'. Your too young to walk alone. Im worried you know?" Napatingin ako kay mommy na kakadating lang. May mga kasama syang isang babae na kaedad nya lang at si Tita Camille.
"Mom, im just Wondering if sea creatures and mermaids are real" i replyed.
Narinig kong tumawa si tita Camille kaya napatingin ako sakanya.
"She's so adorable Isa. Like you, nagmana talaga sya sayo" ani nito. I smiled at her sweetly. "Well, im also wondering if the sea creatures are real too" dadag pa nito.
"See? Im not just the one whose curious here, tita Camille probably looking for them too" i pouted.
"Sea creature are not real, they are just a Myth." Napatinging ako sa batang kadarating lang.
Nag tago ako sa likod ni dad at sinilip ang batang mukhang mas nakaka tanda saakin ng ilang taon.
His eyes are so cold and his aura is so dark, and it intimidates me. He was looking at me, straight at my eyes. Mas lalao akung nagtago sa likod ni dad ngunit tumawa lang ang mga matatanda.
Binuhat naman ako ni dad kaya niyakap ko ang batok ni dad at siniksik ang mukha ko sa leeg nya.
"Whose he?" I whispered at my dad.
"He's Kalil baby, why?" He chuckled
"He's so scary" i whispered. But i think it is not really a whisper cause the elders laugh at me.
Napatingin ako sa kanila. Did i say something funny?
"Oh dear, you dont have to be scared, he's my son, Kalil" tita Camille.
Binaba ako ni dad mula sa pagka karga nya ngunit hawak ko parin ang kamay nya at pinisil pisil. Natawa naman sya saakin at umiling. Like he was saying that i should not be afraid cause he's here.
Bumaling ako ng tingin kay Kalil na ngayuy naka tingin parin saakin.
"Im Kaizer Eliot " he streched his hand for a shake hands. Tinanggap ko naman ito at ngumiti sakanya.
"U-uh, Jelianne"
And that was our first meeting. My heart beats fast that i couldn't understand why is that. That was also the first time i Saw him and hopefully the last
I'm just 5 years old and too innocent to have a crush.
I just realized it when i was 8 years old. Were Visiting again at the Casa de Amante in Initao for a Vacation
"Isa! Youre here!" Salubong ni Tita Camille kay mommy.
"Yeah, its been years when we visited here" ani ni mommy.
"Julio!" Napatingin ako sa matandang Gobernador na pababa sa kanilang grand staircase.
"Antonio!" Bati pabalik ni dad.
