CHAPTER THREE
It's a monday morning, buong linggo akong nanatili sa loob ng mansyon, hindi ko napaunlakan ang paanyayang lunch ni Livi bilang pambawi sa kanyang pag-iwan sa akin noong nakaraan.
I nicely declined the offer, dahil bukod sa ipanahayag ko kay Livi that I completely understand why she needs off from school because she was sick, kasama na rin doon ang aking pag iwas. Dahil buong linggo kong damdam pa rin ang hiya sa aking kaluob-luoban.
Nasa family room kami katabi ng garden, ngayo'y tinitipon ang mga bagong pitas na Chinese peonies ni Abuella, I learned flower arrangements since I first picked a flower when I was a little girl.
"estos son bonitos, feli" (those are pretty).
"graci', abuella"
Chinese Peonies are my Abuella's classic favorites, they are like roses, but bolder, they bloom bigger, they meant wealth, her love for these peonies came from a Chinese comrade of Abuello in his early years, one of the many reasons why the de Marco clan prospers and is leading in farming the finest flowers here in Victorias and in SouthEast Asia.

I have the whole monday morning to spare, walang prof ang papasok sa umaga kaya wala kaming mga classes, my next class will be at four in the afternoon, at dahil sa pangungulit nga ni Livi ay pumayag na akong makipag lunch, by the Ignacio's beach.
I crinkled my nose a bit as the sunlight hit my face, lumabas kami sa malawak na lupain ng mga Ignacio upang tahakin ang daan papuntang dalampasigan.
Nandoon naghihintay ang aming tanghalian, sa isang gazeebo malapit sa dagat, the sea breeze slowly brushing through my legs as it slowly sways the end of my sundress.
"i want to have an overnight!" Livi declared.
I sipped on my cold orange juice, "today is monday, livi"
Tinignan niya ako at pinaikot ang kanyang mata, she pursed her lips a bit and gazed at the shore.
"naiinis ako, i've been stuck and bored as hell last week because i was sick, besides, i've been fed by the maids a lot of gulay and fruits!" maktol nito.
She dug her salad, "i know they're healthy, but dios mio, nakakasuka din pala! I want an overnight, to relax!"
"you just want an overnight as an excuse to eat junkfoods" saad ko at tinawanan ang reaksyon niya.
"friday then, por favor"
"I encourage all of you to get your registration form from the faculty office as soon as possible, pwedeng after class, the activities for our Intrams will start soon so you need your respective organizations and clubs" our prof for our last subject announced.
