"Sweetie, I bought you a plane ticket. You're going to South Korea"
After sabihin ni Mom 'yun, literal na lumaki ang mga mata ko. Hindi ba ako nabibingi?!
"Seryoso Mom?"
Muling tumawa si Mom sa kabilang linya, para bang pinaparating niya ang katagang "when did I ever lie?"
"Madalas mong maikuwento sa akin ang taong nagpapatibok ng puso mo diba? at alam kong gustong gusto mo na siyang makita. There's a chance na makasalubong mo siya since nasa iisang lugar na kayo" nakangiting sabi ni Mom.
Mom, I already saw him but I ran away...
"Aren't you happy?"
Marahan akong tumanggi at pinakita sa kanya ang malawak kong ngiti;
"Ofcourse not! Sobrang saya ko nga Mom because finally, I can step in South Korea. Mom, thank you so much! ㅠㅠ
"You're welcome Sweetie. Seeing that smile of yours will always be my favorite"
Lalo pang lumawak ang ngiti ko. I'm very lucky to have a mother like her. She never failed to make me smile ♡
"Annyeong-haseyo imo!"
(Hello auntie!)
Narinig kong sabi ni Jinsu mula sa likuran ko. Halos makalimutan kong nandito pala siya sa likod ㅠㅠ
"Jinsu! Ah, thank you for bringing my daughter safely hm?" sabi ni Mom, halata sa boses niya ang sincerity.
"No problem Auntie! Always at your service!"
Tignan mo 'to, marunong din naman pala magsalita ng English pero pinahirapan pa ang sarili kanina sa pagsasalita ng Tagalog.
"Napakabait talagang bata, haha! Oo nga pala Ara, si Jinsu ang mag gu-guide sayo papunta sa Seoul. You're gonna stay to their place, don't worry about it. Nakausap ko na parents niya and it's okay with them. Ikaw na lang ang kulang..."
Napakunot noo ako. I'm gonna stay with them...? yah! paano ang Universit-
"I can read your mind Missy. Just like what I've said, you're already excuse for 1 week hm? yes, you're gonna spend your 1 week in Seoul. How was that?" nakangiting tanong ni Jinsu.
Alright. What did Jinsu do? That university isn't just a university. Sobrang strict talaga doon. Did he use some spells?
"Spells? silly. This pretty face I have is always the solution"
I blinked. Okay...? bakit parehong-pareho sila ng attitude ni Chantha? ㅠㅠ
"You heard him clearly, right Sweetie?"
Tumango na lang ako. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang ire-react ko. Finally, I can see the beauty of Korea.
"Better fix yourself" Jinsu said, grinning.
-
Nandito na kami ngayon sa Airport, waiting for our turn. Hindi ko naman ine-expect na ngayon na pala kami aalis like kanina lang sa akin sinabi ni Mom. Hindi ko pa nasasabi kay Chantha about dito.
Kukunin ko pa lang sana ang phone ko para sana tawagan si Chantha pero agad na hinawakan ni Jinsu ang kamay ko;
"Our turn lady. You are not allowed to use your phone, you know that"
Bakit ba ang cold ng dating niya when speaking in English? gosh. Ganito ba mga mostly ang mga Koreans?
Si Bogum naman kasi hindi e', like he's too humble hihi.
"Ara!" I got back to my senses after snapping his fingers infront of me.
"Ah, yes!" tumayo ako mula sa pagkakaupo at hinila ang bagahe ko papasok sa loob.
