Marie Lyssa Point of View

Inayos ko ang suot kong sunglasses ng makalabas ako ng NAIA. Its been two years since I left the Philippines. And I can say wala pa ring pinagbago ang Pilipinas. Magulo at mausok pa rin. Matraffic pa rin as usual.

I hail a cab and it stop right infront of me. I went inside the cab and told the driver to drive me through the hotel that my cousin owned.

I should have called him instead of hailing a cab. But where is the fun there? I would like to surprise them. Most especially him.

Kamusta na kaya siya? May pamilya na kaya siya ngayon? Hindi malabong mangyari. Almost three years din ako nawala. Who knows what happen here in the Philippines.

Iniwasan ko ng magkaroon ng balita dito sa Pilipinas. Simula ng mamatay ang matalik kong kaibigan at ng nangyari ang lahat ng iyon.

Masyado akong natrauma na pinili kong mangibang bansa.

But after all, nakapag move-on na ako. I learned my lessons. At ayoko ng bumalik sa nakaraan. It should stay in the past.

Nabalik lang ako sa realidad ng huminto ang taxi na sinasakyan ko sa harap ng hotel.

Nagbayad ako at nagpasalamat sa driver. Good thing nagpapalit ako ng pera. Hindi na ako mapupurwisyo pa.

I held my head high as I walk inside the hotel. All eyes are on me and I don't give a damn. They can look at me all they want and I don't give a damn.

I went to the reception area.

"What can I do for you maam?" The receptionist politely asked me. I raised my brow at her.

"I want the best room in here." I said.

"Do you have any reservation maam?" She asked again. I took off my sunglasses and look her in her eyes.

"I want the best room in here now. If you don't want to lose your job better do what I say." I coldly said to her.

"Maam, I am asking you if you have a reservation. You don't have to threaten me or something. I'm just following the protocol what the company stated. Kung makaasta naman akala mo kung sino ang may-ari." I smirked with what she said. This girl has guts, alright.

Akala niya siguro hindi ko narinig ang binulong niya.

"For your information miss receptionist. I have the right to demand because I am one of the owner of this hotel. I am Marie Lyssa Han Alecante by the way." And with that I flipped my hair and I turned my back on her.

Bitch as may it seem but I don't really give a damn.

I hate being nice. Pinagdaanan ko na iyon dati and it gave me no good.

So I change myself. I am not that timid girl I used to be before. I've learn my lesson a very long time ago.

I was once a martyr type of person but now that has been change.

They will never see the old Marie anymore. The timid and the nice kind of girl.

Things change and people change. Its a constant thing in the world and I am the one of it.

Once you've learn that you have no one to rely on but yourself and God. You learn how to stand up for yourself.

He gave me hope when times that I get really down and had nothing to hold on. He is my source of strength that keeps me going everyday. And with that I became stronger.

So much for that. I hailed a cab once again and told the driver to drive me to my old village.

Uuwi nalang ako sa dati kong bahay. Although maraming masasamang alaala ang nandoon pipilitin ko nalang. Kesa maghanap pa ako ng away doon sa hotel at malaman pa ng pinsan ko.

I don't want that. Walang thrill kung ganun lang din naman ang mangyayari.

And one more thing. Hindi ko naman talaga gustong umuwi ng Pilipinas. But since my work really demanded me to get home in this country. So I have no choice but to go home even if its against my will.

Almost an hour drive before I arrive in my old house. I gave the taxi driver a one thousand bill and didn't ask for any change.

Its my early christmas gift for him. Since christmas is really fast approaching.

I roam my eyes in the house right infront of me.

Its too big for a one person. What did I think before and I bought this house? Its too big for me.

I throw my inhibitions and went inside my house.

Sumalubong sa akin ang malinis na bahay. Nagtaka ako kung bakit malinis ito. Sa pagkakaalam ko wala namang ibang nakakaalam ng bahay na ito maliban sa isang tao.

Pero imposible namang pag aaksayahan niya ng panahon ang bahay na ito. Hindi naman ito mahalaga sa kaniya.

Taliwas ng pagtataka ay nagpapasalamat nalang din ako sa kung sino man ang naglinis ng bahay ko.

Hindi ko man malalaman ngayon but soon malalaman ko din. For now, I need to rest. Napagod talaga ako sa biyahe.

Imagine an sixteen to eighteen hours flight from Europe to Philippines. Nakakapagod talaga.

So I sertle my things in my old room and take a bath for a little while. Then I doze of to my bed and sleep.
