Chapter 18

Araw, Ulap, at Eroplano

I bit my bottom lip hard to restrain myself from letting out an excited scream. I let out a happy and nervous sigh, feeling the butterflies on my stomach.

As the thrilling excitement hits my bloodstream, I'm alive again.

This feeling was way better than when my Kylie Jenner's Send Me More Nude lipstick had arrived. I wouldn't trade this for any fucking cosmetic in the world.

"Anong oras kita babalikan, ma'am?" Tanong ni kuya Mon.

"Ite-text ko na lang kayo, kuya... Salamat." Todo ngiti kong sabi. Hindi ko mapigilan.

Kanina pa ako hindi mapakali dito sa backseat, papunta pa lang kami ay gusto ko na kaagad na makarating.

Palabas pa lang ako ng bahay ay iniisip ko na kaagad kung ano ang pwede mangyari.

Kasalukuyan ko lamang binubuksan ang pintuan ay gusto ko nang makalabas kaagad, kasalukuyan ko pa lamang pinipindot ang doorbell ay gusto kong makapasok na ako kaagad.

I didn't know how this start but I'm fascinated with things that gives me thrill in which why I prefer to be the one who does the surprise instead of being surprised. Thrill makes you wonder, it keeps your adrenaline awake, it is as if you're aching but you have no idea in which part.

Napangisi ako nang si yaya Tising ang makita kong nagbukas ng gate. She looks slightly different now. Some of her hair turned white, her face slightly wrinkled... all sign of aging.

"Sino po ang hanap nila?"

Hindi ko napigilan ang sarili ko at napangisi ako nang malapad. "Yaya Tising! Si Jess 'to! Ano ka ba?" Natatawa kong pakilala sa sarili ko.

Her jaw slacked as she examines me, her eyes filled with amusement.

"Ma'am Jess? Ikaw na ba 'yan? Alam na ba 'to nila ma'am Beatrix at sir Colton?"

I frowned after hearing the asshole's name. "Colton's not entitled to know what's going on with my life... He doesn't have anything to do with me, yaya Tising."

Ano ba naman 'yan! Ang saya-saya ko pa lang kanina habang papunta ako dito tapos bigla-bigla na lang babanggitin ni yaya Tising iyon!

His name is equivalent to the increasing pressure of the seawater in my ear canal. Masakit sa tenga at nakakasira ng araw.

Natawa siya nang bahagya at napailing. She opened the gate wider. "Pumasok ka na, ikaw nga talaga si ma'am Jess."

Ang pagkairita ko ay kaagad na napalitan ng excitement. The annoyance was suddenly replace by the thrill that I was feeling awhile ago. This is so it. I can't wait to see my best friend's flabbergasted face.

"Grabe, wala pa ring pinagbago dito..." I murmured as I roam my eyes around the place. Of course, there are some changes but the house is still the same... still feel like home.

"Aaahh! Namiss ko dito, Yaya Tising!" Mahina kong tili at niyugyog ko pa siya sa balikat. Tiningnan niya ako nang may ngiti sa mga labi.

"Hay nako, miss na miss ka na rin ni ma'am Beatrix... Ang tagal mo ring nawala, ma'am Jess."

A faint smile formed on my lips. "Oo nga, Yaya four years din..." I said with a sigh. It's been four years, I can't believe that I survived being away from here for four years.

Well, iyon ang kailangan. My life is not about the things I personally want anymore. It's about doing the things that's hard for me but I'd do it anyway because that's the right thing.
