LOVING A NIGHTMARE

CHAPTER 5

Chapter Five

Grandma, did you hear the news? " I hurriedly went downstairs, after answering the call.

"Yes. " She said while looking away. Pansin ko ay nakatingin siya sa malayo mula kanina pa, gamit ang isang eleganting racking chair. She's holding now a cup of tea.

"Uhm... I just wanna visit Eris po, He is a good friend din to me. " I said calmly. Dalawa lang ang masasabi kung matalik kung mga kaibigan at isa sa Eris doon.

Kahit naman... Palagi akong binubwesit noong mokong... eh, Natatawa naman at natutuwa ako sa kanya.

"I'm sorry, Carol. Pero hindi puwede. " after saying that she immediately went to the study where her office is placed.

Hindi ko maintindihan.

She was eager for my wedding with Eris. Pero bakit hindi niya ako pinayagang bisitahin ito?

I sighed and dialed Eris' number.

"Uhh... " I was hesitant to call sapagkat nahihiya ako dahil hindi nga ako pinayagang bumisita.

"Y-yes, Hija. " This is his' mother's voice.

"Tita kasi--"

"I understand. " kalmado at agaran nito ani

"Huh? " I was clearly damn confuse.

"It's really okay if you could not come to visit Hija. I understand. " Paano naman niya nalamang hindi ako pinayagan?

"Oh-okay. Sorry again. " She ended then a call after a couple of second.

Napaupo ako sa aking kama. Inaala ang mga nangyayari.

Zed is one of my suitors. Hindi ko ito gusto lalo na nga sa pagiging sobrang agresibo nito.

Charlie, He is someone na puwede kong ipakilala kay Grandma. The three M and G is in him. Matalino, Mayaman, Mabait, at Gwapo. Pero kaibigan lang o tropa ang gusto ko sa kanya.

While Lance is not my suitor, but my first crush. Pero that's past. Hindi ko na ito tipo. Ayaw ko sa babaero.

And Eris is a dear friend. Sa ilang araw naming pakikipagsalamuha sa isa't isa ay napatunayan ko ang kabaitan at mabuting intensyon niya sa akin.

I sighed again, worried of what is happening.

Iniisip ko kung bakit ang dahilan ng mga nangyayari ay konektado sa pagtulog.

I look down to my feet and naaalala ko ang mga panaginip ko. I am always barefooted there. I can feel the bermuda grasses tickling my feet. My heartbeat beating damn fast and paused as he do something gentleman.

I can't help but to be suspicious sa mga nangyayari.

Hindi ko tuloy maiwasang mapaisip. Tungkol sa buhay ko na parang konektado sa mga nanganganib na buhay.

Mayroon akong masaganang buhay. All of my caprices are bought. I can even buy an IPhone with my everyday allowance. A future owner of multibillion earning international companies. I can study where ever I want.

But we people where not perfect and we always lack in something. People who's happy with their family sometimes lack in case of monetary. Some where happy and rich but with disabilities. Some husband and wife, rich. Lacks faithfulness. I'm rich but I lack parents.

Palaging may mga gwardiyang nakaantabay sa aking mga kilos. Hindi ako pwedeng lumabas ng ako lang. Kung tutuusin ay nakakaalis lang ako sa mansion tuwing pupunta ng eskwelahang pagmamay ari din namin. Ang saya hindi ba?
