When in France

4

Goodbye England...Hello France.

"LOUISEEE!!"

Napabalikwas ako sa pagkakahiga dahil sa sigaw na iyon. Bloody hell, it's only 6 a.m!

"Hey Louise, get up!! I have a good news!!" So it was Nancy here in my bedroom. Maybe it's time to hide the spare keys in a new place.

Kahit inaantok ako ay bumangon ako at umupo sa kama ko with my eyes still close. I'm still sleepy.

"Guess what?" Sabi niya at inalog-alog yung balikat ko para magising ako. "I got a new job!!"

Kahit papano ay napangiti ako sa kaniya dahil doon. Good for her but waking me up like this is unacceptable.

"And this time, it's the BBC news!!" Biglang bumilog yung nga nata ko dahil sa narinig ko. BBC news? Blimey, she's on different level now!

"Really?! So, iyan pala ang pinag-aabalahan mo these past few days?" No wonder hindi siya nagpaparamdam sa akin netong nakaraang araw.

"Yeah!! And if there's a chance, I'll become a travel journalist too. Isn't it wonderful?! Ahhh, I feel so amazing right now..." sabi niya sabay higa sa kama ko at nakatitig lang siya sa ceiling. I have a good news for her too pero secret muna.

"You are really a great woman, Nancy. I'm proud of you just as much as you're proud of yourself."

"Thanks a lot, Mrs. Lamoreaux." She saud teasingly and I just laughed. "Come to think of it, you're going to France! You're going to meet him again!"

"I'm not going to meet him. All hell will break loose if we saw each other again."

"You're over exagerrating. It's not like he will kick you out of his house when you showed up there." I just ignored her and I stand up and I went to the kitchen to cook for breakfast. Sinundan niya ako at kumuha ng milk sa refrigerator ko. Sneaky as ever.

"It's my house too, you know? But I'm sure he will really kick my ass out of it." Sabi ko at nagsimula ng magluto and I started with the eggs.

"No, he won't."

"Yes, he will."

I've never been this excited at the same time nervous in my life. I mean it's just a plane, I've got nothing to be afraid of, right? No, it's not the plane I was afraid of. It was the destination.

I'm going home but I'm scared? I'm such a weirdo. Parang kailan lang gusto ko nang umuwi. How can my mind changed all of that?

"You look nervous as hell, Louise. Please calm yourself." Sabi ni Nancy at tumatawa lang si Niel sa tabi niya.

"Yeah right." Sabi ko at napatingin ako kay Niel."hey, remember what I told you last week?"

"Yeah, copy that." Sabi lang ni Niel at pabalik-balik ang tingin ni Nancy sa aming dalawa. She's clueless and she's making a funny face.

"What is it? Anong meron sa inyo?" Tanong ni Nancy at pinagsusuntok si Niel dahil ayaw nitong sabihin. What a nice view. Para talaga silang couple.

Calling all passengers for Air France....it is now boarding...

"I guess that's the call. Goodbye.." paalam ko at yinakap muna nila ako pero bago ako umalis tinignan ko muna sila at ngumiti...

"You should know that the two of you really looked good together." I said and they scoffed together at my remarks.

"Grossss!!!!" - Nancy

"Eewwww that's the most disgusting thing I ever heard." - Niel

After our one last laugh together, umalis na ako at hindi ko na sila liningon baka tuluyan na akong hindi makapunta sa flight ko. It's hard to leave them but it's only for awhile. This is not a goodbye though.

But I will bid a goodbye to england for now...

Goodbye England and Hello France.
