Igniting Chances

Chapter 50

Chills

Wearing summer strap dress I walk downstair but mama is nowhere to be found.

I ask our househelp and she told me that mama is on her way to the shore.Excited masyado.

Tama nga ang sabi sa akin,andon na si mama at pinapanood ang nagbabangka kung paano inaayos ang bangka para mabilis kaming maka-angkas.

"Kumpleto na ba ang lahat?"

"Opo Donya."

"Mama!"I shouted to get her attention.She smiled at me and sign me to move closer to her.

"Shall we go?"she asked,I nod and excitedly look at the sun which is just rising.

With a two fisherman with us we sail,mama owns this boat and there are 10 more,this kind of boats were just for fishing,ito ang business ng average people dito sa probinsya.

We'll go to mang Pedro,my mama's long time friend.Sa kabilang isla lang ito kaya kailangan naming bangkain.

Pwede rin namang gamitin ang kalsada but since ang pinunta namin sa fishing we'll use boat.

Mama is chillin on the other side while me is on the other side so it'll balance,inilabas ko ang paa ko at pinatama ang daliri sa tubig,tumatalsik ito kaya nabasa ako ng kaunti,kita ang coral reeps mula sa ibabaw na nagsasabing malinis ang tubig dagat.

I smiled.After an hour we reach Dapo,where Mang Pedro lives,his wife died after giving birth to their child Patricia.

I was shock when I saw a huge modern mansion on the side of the mountain,its beautiful.

Nakadikit ang bahay sa bundok at may malaking swimming pool dito na nagt-tutuloy sa tubig dagat.Ang ganda.

"Iyan yung bahay na usapan sa bayan Ahonoama!Ang ganda,ano?"napatango nalang ako habang namamangha sa bahay.Habang pinapanood ko ang bahay ay may lumabas mula roon.Kumunot ang noo ko at pilit na tinitiningnan ang maaring itsura ng may ari ng bahay.

I should contact his architect and engineer kung gusto kong magpagawa ng ganoon kagandang bahay.

Ng nasa dalampasigan na kami ay napansin kong sinundan nya kami ng tingin kaya tinitigan ko rin sya,doon ko lang napansin na parang pamilyar ang features ng lalaki,modelo?

I shrugged when I heart Patricia's loud voice.

"Grasia!"I look at her.Bumaba ako at binigay ko sa kanya ang paper bag na kanina ko pa hawak,medyo nabasa ang ibaba ng dress ko dahil sa alon ng pababa na ako sa bangka."Oh!Ano to?Nagabala ka pa!"Her morena skin and long hair never failed to amuse me.

She's my classmate since I transfer here,she's been clingy and obidient so I liked her.I give her gift from dad when I dont want it and Bianca doesn't want it either.

But we've been kind to her since she's a family friend.

"Donya."nahihiyang bati nya kay mama,mama just smiled at her.

"Where's Pedro?"tanong ni mama.Tinuro ni Patricia ang mansion sa gilid ng bundok.

"Pinatawag po sya ni Mr.Romano sa bahay nila eh,kaaalis nga lang po!"

I was stunt,for the first time I heard that surname again,it gives me chills.

Nanlamig ako sa kinatatayuan ko.

Calm down Aho,ibang Romano yon,its impossible for them to find you.The world is big,they wont even bother to look for me.

"Tara po munang kumain!"I smiled at Patricia,sumunod ako sa kanila ni mama habang lumilipad ang isipan.
