" HELLO Tagaytay! Hello World! "
Bumaba na ako ng kotse.Kararating ko lang dito sa Tagaytay. Sinundo ako ni Mang Cassio na driver ni Papa. Nandito kami ngayon sa hotel na tinutuluyan ni Papa na pag mamay-ari daw ng kaibigan ni Papa.
" Maganda dito sa Simmons Hotel, no namong? " Nilingon ko si Manong Cassio sa gilid ko.
Ngumiti sya sakin " Tama po kayo, Ms.Ashen."
I Pout.Kanina ko pa sinasabi na 'Fierce ' nalang. Ako nga manong ang tawag kahit na ang sabi nung babae 'Mr' daw.Sumandal ako sa elevator at saka tumingin lang sa relo ko. Ang taas naman kasi. Nasa 15th floor yung kay Dad.
Nung huminto na yung elevator lumabas na kami ni ' Mr.Cassio '
Pumasok kami sa room 468.Malawak sya at malinis. I glance at the clock and it's 2:35 in the afternoon. I hear someone's speaked at my back.It was my Dad smiling at me but he's over the phone.
".....Yes,'Pa. She's here... of course... Sure,'Pa. See you,later. "
He hunged up the phone at looked back at me." Fierce, honey. "
He hugs me tightly and pats my head.
I purse my lips. I'm 22 years old now but I'm still a child in his eyes.But when he's mad.It's like his eyes are blazing into fire.
" How's the trip? "iginaya nya ko sa couch malapit sa kinatatayuan namin. Mr Cassio is not around.
" It's fine,Dad.Hindi naman eroplano yun, eh." He laugh.
" So, are you ready to go at the house? "
Parang mag-aaya lang si Dad na magpakamatay ha.Are you ready to die lang ang peg? =_=
Kinuha lang namin yung gamit nya at saka pumunta na sa parking lot kung saan nandun si Mr.Cassio, patiently waiting for us.
" Hello, Mr.Cassio. " i said politely.
He smiles and slightly vow his head.
" Hello to you, too Ms.Ashen,Mr.Ashen. "
Pumasok na kami sa kotse at saka umalis narin. Tahimik lang ako sa buong byahe.Binaba ko yung suot kong cap hanggang sa matakpan yung mukha ko. And I drifted to sleep.
" WAKE up,sweetie. "
I hear my Dad's voice. I open my eyes and my jaw dropped as i see the place.I climbs down at the car and scanned the place.We're at the forest. Hindi sya yung totally forest pero talagang mapuno sya at madaming halaman. May mga flowers din sa paligid.
We walked to a Wynter Haven's house.There, standing at the patio of the house is my grandfather whose smiling and waving at us.May katabi syang lalaki that I think 8 or 10 years old. Nang makalapit ay niyakap ako ni Lolo Fred ng mahigpit.
" I miss you,grandchild. " he pat's my shoulder.
" Miss narin kita 'Lo." inakbayan ko sya.
" Syempre, ikaw pa.Mana ata to sayo. Boy mo ako diba? "
Tumawa lang sya sakin at umiling-iling.
" You've never changed. "-Lolo.
".Glad to hear that from you." I smiles,and face the young boy.
" Hi." I waved my hand at him.
He blinks and nod slowly. Huh? O_o? Bati na yon?
" Ganun talaga sya. "-Dad.
Ipinilig ko ang ulo ko saka sumunod kila Mr.Cassio na Ipinapasok na ang mga gamit ko. Dumiretso kami sa living room.It's a large living room. that has a white and black coated/painted.
May nakaupong matanda na siguro ay kaedad lang ni Lolo Fred.He's reading a newspaper while sipping his coffee.
Nag-angat sya ng tingin. " Sya na ba si Fierce? "He asks.
" Yes."my Dad replied.
He extend his hand of me." Im Mr.Jude Montefalco.I know you might not remember me but I always pay a visit to you when you're was a kid."He says softly.
" Ohh.I'm Fierce Ashen, Sir.My pleasure is all mine."
He laughs." Why so formal? Have a sit. "
We sat at the couch. Napansin ko lang, parang ang close masyado ng family namin sa Montefalcol.Nag-usap lang sila Dad at Lolo Fred pati si Lolo Jude duon.
Ako naman Kinshasa muna dala ang Nikon camera ko. Sinuot ko lang ulit yung cap ko at saka ako lumabas. Pumunta ko sa gilid at nakakita ako dun ng Ivy, I get my camera and adjust the lens.I took a picture of the flower and smile as it goes out well.
Umupo ako sa swing na nakita ko sa gilid ng malawak na garden. Tinitingnan ko lang yung mga pictures na kuha ko. Gumagaling na talaga ako, I smile at the thought.
Napalingon ako sa veranda sa likod ko ng may nakita akong parang Tao,kanina ko pa nararamdaman na may nakatingin sakin pero binalewala ko lang.
Nagkibit-balikat lang ako at saka pumikit at inuga ang swing na inuupuan ko.
