Claire Serafin felt half dizzy and half annoyed because of the burning heat and the chatty woman who talked endlessly about her upcoming trip.
"So here's the deal honey, you see this roulette?" she motioned her to look at the Russian roulette
"All you have to do is drop this tiny ball while I spin it and wherever it stop, you'll have the chance to travel the whole country!"
"So it's just one country?" Claire's mom interrupted
"Ah! About that, since the company has a bit of a problem with multiple destinations regarding Ms. Claire's visa and other things they decided it would be less of a hassle to tour one country but also in full extent meaning, she can roam anywhere within that country and her living expenses is in our care!"
The two women kept talking while Claire just stared at the slots in the roulette. Italy, France, Netherlands, Brazil and lots of other places was indicated but nothing seemed interesting to her, to her it was just a waste of money the only reason she accepted it was because her family kept bickering that it was a waste not to use it and that her family need not to spent a penny on this trip, it was almost as if God wanted her to take it and left her without options not to do so.
"Honey! It's time! Here take the ball" the woman gave her the ball "now I'll spin it and think carefully when you want to drop it" As she said this, she began to spin the roulette and to her mother's and the chatty woman's disappointment she quickly let the ball drop without any second thought.
"Okay, I see Ms. Claire's in a bit of a hurry!" she said while giggling. After a few moment the roulette have come to a halt and the destination that the steel ball went is a bit surprising even for Claire
"Oh my oh my! This is rather unique! Who would have thought that your..... ah, luck was quite eh, peculiar?"
"Yes I must admit I agree with you" her mother said with a raised eyebrow.
"Philippines huh? Well my co-workers said that it's full of natural scenery! Maybe you'll enjoy there! now, if you could just feel this up Mrs. Serafin, then we're all on our merry way!"
"sweetie, when would you like to go?"
She thought for a minute before answering. Her thoughts was racing. confusion filled her mind.
Where the fuck is Philippines she quietly pondered but her mother nudge her still waiting for her question to be answered.
"Next week is okay for me" Claire said with a fake enthusiastic smile. Her mother exhaled, seemingly relieved that her daughter was excited
"Okay then, you'll fly to Philippines first thing next week."
