Igniting Chances

Chapter 54

Forgotten

"Aren't you going to your shops?"I rolled my eyes when Jaerik interupted my breakfast,he's wearing a longsleeves and maong pantalon with boots,Im sure he came with his horse that looks like him.

"Go away Jaerik!"I said.

I got this feeling from the very beginning,I really dont like Jaerik,lagi nya akong iniinis simula palang noong unang dating ko dito.

"Busy ang shop mo ngayon,maraming nag-early summer."dagdag nya at ininuman ang baso ko.

"Mind your own business."I said and drank my chocolate drink instead.

"Old habits die hard,indeed." Every freaking year when he sees me drinking hot chocolate in my every breakfast he always says that.

"Just go,wala dito si mama or auntie."I finished my breakfast.

"Wanna go horse riding?"That idea made my heart jump in joyness but the idea of Gadeon Romano in this small province made me reject Jaerik's fun idea."Why not?"He asked.

"I have a lot of work to do,maybe next time."I said and place the dishes on the sink and start washing it.

"I see,movie--"

"Stop acting like a boyfriend Jaeri--"

"Stop assuming,Im just trying to be a good friend lalo't na at nabalitaan kong nadito sa probinsya ang mga tinatakasan m--"

"S-stop!"Pero ako ang tumigil sa ginagawa ko,nilingon ko si Jaerik."Stop, I dont wanna hear it."I said.

"Let's just have barbeque lunch infront of your mama's mansion near the shore,papagawa na ako ng cottage."he said then left me.

That as$,can't forget huh?

Tinapos ko ang ginagawa ko at kinuha ang mga chocolate na bigay ni Jaerik,mula sa veranda ng kwarto ko ay pinapanood ko ang mga tao sa paggawa ng maliit na cottage sa ilalim ng isang puno malapit sa mansion,ang punong iyon ang unang puno bago makapasok sa gubat.Pumikit ako ng mariin bago magsimulang magtrabaho.Nagbilang lang ako ng magagastos sa buwang ito ng dalawang shop at kung ilang pera nalang ang natitira.

Papasok na ako bukas pero sa office lang ako,better be sure.

I was about to fall asleep at my seat when my phone rang,I immediately answered it when I read dad's name.

"Where are you?"He said.

"Im in my room,hindi po ako lumalabas tulad ng sinabi nyo."I said."I miss you."Habol ko.Bumuntong hininga si daddy.

"Kung pwede at kaya huwag ka munang lalabas diyan kila mama."He said.

"W-why?"I asked.

"You know what's the problem Aho--"

"Can't you clear my name already?"Naluluhang tanong ko."I've been hiding for almost a decade dad!"I shouted but not that loud."D-dont you miss me?"I asked.

"You're name can't be clear yet.You are forgotten."That word hurt me more,I've expected this,I should be glad,but hearing it from dad made me in pain."Soon,maingay pa kasi ang pangalan ng mga Romano at iyong sangkot sa kaso,baka maungkat."And I understand dad.

Its fine.

Kung ako ang papipiliin I'd choose to live here,but with dad.Kaya ko lang naman gustong bumalik doon ay dahil kay Daddy at mommy,I miss mom,

and Gad,before.
