SV -1 : Constant Waves Of Sparks

LIFE

I remove my jacket and tossed it anywhere in the room and throw my purse on the couch.

It was spectacular night with my friends ayon inabot kami ng madaling araw pinuntahan kasi namin ang bagong bukas na bar pagmamay ari iyon ng pinsan ni Tori free pa ang mga drinks kaya sinulit na namin.

I smiled and hurriedly dive on the bed afraid that Mom will come and find out that I sneaked out and just got home. Binalot ko ang sarili ng kumot at tuluyang nagpahila sa pagod at antok.

Masakit ang ulo ko pagkagising kinaumagahan pinilit kong bumangon at nag desisyong maligo agad because I'm reeking of alcohol at hindi pa man din nakapag palit ng damit kagabi.

Minutes later I'm done fixing and find myself stepping down the stairs with my hand tracing the banister mabuti na ding may mahawakan ako medyo nahihilo pa ako eh puro hard drinks pa naman ang na tripan kagabi.

Dumeretso narin ako sa dining area dahil nakaramdam na ng gutom hindi ko din alam na nandoon si Mommy it's too late to turn my back now nakita na niya ako she's eating like a queen with hawk eyes watching me

"Morning Mom!" Pinasigla ko ang boses
"What time did you went home Aimeleh?" Mom asked, I bit my tongue akala kopa naman di niya malalaman.

"Im sorry" I said in small voice humingi na agad ako ng tawad para hindi na niya ako masyadong pagalitan.
I am guilty though repeating what I am sorry for is pretty bad but I dont have a choice they over protecting me heck Im 24 turning 25 this coming October.

"You have a freedom to do whatever you want pero pinag babawalan kita sa mga bagay na maaari mong ikapahamak you've been leaving home constantly at night without my consent at uuwi ng lasing paano kung masangkot ka sa illegal na gawain?" Mom trailed of

she's overreacting!

"Mom my friends are sane and I know what I'm doing" I groaned can't help it

"I know Aimeleh, how about the others? they can't be trusted"
"Palagi nalang kitang hinahayaan sa mga gusto mo at ito ibabalik mo? I understand if you want to slowdown I understand if you haven't figure out what to do in your life right now the thing is hindi naman palaging ganyan nalang, what's your plan?"

Tuluyan na akong tumahimik dahil sa sinabi ni Mommy

I graduated last year and a half now and still don't have plans yet.

I wanted to enjoy my life first bago mag trabaho noong nag aaral pa ako pag-aaral din naman inatupag ko. I'd never get the chance to experience noon kung ano man ang ginagawa ko ngayon.

When life is good, make sure you receive it fully that's why I'm not rushing. I want to enjoy my life first at iniisip ko na kapag may trabaho na ako may mga limitasyon na.

"Ang hinihiling kong kitain mo ang anak ni Mrs. Li ay hindi mo sinipot" Mom recalled, She's playing cupid and insisting me to meet the guy named Vander Li
It's either I will work or find a husband to work for me and a husband to secure my future.

Ito pa! Problema din ito. Hindi maawat si Mommy kung sino sino nalang gustong ipa eyeball saakin.

I stalked him already on Instagram he is successful real state businessesman, luxurious, sporty, and adventurous ano naman kaya ang maipagmamalaki ko sa kanya? He's out of my reach that's why I can't meet him parang mapapahiya ako sa mga na achieve niya sa buhay. I know where I stand.

"Mom pang ilang reto muna yan sakin?" I grumbled

"So better send you to the states" she pondered napaawang naman ang labi ko.

"ayoko doon" bukod sa mapapalayo sa kaibigan, Dad and Den is more strict. "Send me anywhere in the philippines wag lang doon".

Mom eyes turned into slit wari'y may naalala.

"then manage the Luxville Resort, sakto Jemzi and Sandie will leave soon. Sa ibang bansa na muna titira naka tanggap ng offer sa isang firm ayaw mo sa America, then doon ka sa San Valentine andoon din naman ang grandparents mo".

Kaagad ko ding pinag sisihan ang sinabi. I can see amusement from her. Alam niyang hindi ako sanay doon maganda daw doon, but I couldn't see it that way sabagay I didn't get the chance to explore San Valentine.

"what about iyong resort sa Antipolo? or iyong sa Batangas?"

"Don't worry about that Aimeleh Ryzel I can handle it isa pa wala namang masyadong problema doon bukod sa Luxville na kailangan ng may mag ma-manage, convenient kung ikaw it's a small resort kaya mo yun!" ginawaran niya pa ako ng ngiti bago sumimsim sa kanyang kape.

Yeah, she's happy for this.

"Okay fine!" As if I have a choice.

"Then pupunta na tayo bukas" medyo excited pang sabi ni Mommy I just sighed.

Luxville Resort is just a small private resort before binili nila Mommy at Daddy sa isang Hapon na andoon narin nanirahan sa Japan.

With the help of my couzin who did some changes at unti unti narin itong nakilala ng binuksan sa publiko.

Jemzi is an architect at naka tanggap siya ng trabaho kaya aalis na ng bansa. Ang iba ko namang pinsan nasa Manila din nag aaral pa at ang iba ay may trabaho na din that's it when we're getting older distance is inevitable preparing for future and living the life we're supposed to.

life is what we make it.

Setting apart to my friends doesn't make our friendship less I guess. I just realized that I'm too dependent on them even my happiness. Nasanay ako na sila ang palagi kong kasama kahit sa kalokohan. Alam kong malulungkot ako nito.

Maybe it's time for me to start working diko man alam kung paano mag manage pero susubukan ko. I know I can count on Mom kahit wala siya sa tabi ko.

Maybe she's treathend on how my life would turn to be, because I didn't take life seriously as what she said. That's why kung sino-sino nalang gustong ipakilala. Ngayon lang naman ako ganito na parang nakalaya palang sa isang kulungan. Sa Totoo lang even at this age I'm still trying to figure out what to do in my life. I don't like Business Ad as my college course, but since my family is into business so yun nadin ang kinuha ko.

Wala akong ginawa sa araw na yun kundi ang mag impake ng mga gamit ko. Mom called Dad and happily informed him na ako ang mamahala sa resort sa San Valentine. Taliwas sa kasiyahan niya ang nararamdaman ko ngayon.
