Spark Of Love (On-Hold)

Chapter 4: Arrival

WINTER'S POINT OF VIEW

"Anak, wake up. We are getting late for our flight." Oh! I almost forgot that may flight pa pala kami papuntang London.

"Coming, Dad," I said to him before I get out of my bed. Medyo okay na ang pakiramdam ko when I woke up. Pumunta ako sa harap ng salamin para tignan kung namamaga ba ang mata ko and to my surprise my eyes are both swollen and I also have my eyebags below my eyes. Buong gabi ba naman kasi akong umiiyak.

When I am finished preparing myself ay sakto namang pagbukas ng pinto at pagpasok ni daddy with his backpack on his back. Wow daddy! Mas mukha ka pang magca-camping kaysa sa pupunta sa business trip. "Are you finish anak?" dad asked and I nodded. Dad offered his hand to mine. "Shall we, baby girl?" dad said and I frowned which made him laugh. "Okay, I won't call you baby girl for today. Just for today," he said while laughing. I rolled my eyes to dad. I don't care if I'm being disrespectfulㅡ Well yeah, that's me, DISRESPECTFUL or SPOILED BRAT. Dad just pissed the hell out of me.

I just ignored my dad and continue walking along our grand staircase. When I stop to see him, he's still laughing.

Dumiretso nalang ako sa sasakyan bago ko pa matarayan ulit si daddy. When the driver opened the door of the car, nagulat ako dahil madaming dalang bagahe si dad. "Dad, why do you have so much luggage? We are just staying there for a week." Lumapit ako sa kanya as I rolled my eyes "Tell me dad are you planning to live there in London?" I asked.

Napansin kong may kotse pa sa likod ng kotse ni dad. "They are not all mine," he said while walking papunta sa kotse na nasa likod ng kotse niya.

"Then if it is not all yours, kanino dad?" I asked.

"It is ours." Bigla na lamang bumukas ang pinto ng kotseng nilapitan ni dad at iniluwal niyon ang dalawang babaeng kilalang kilala ko. "Surprise! Hi Win. Tito Jerome invited us to go to London with the two of you," Lauren said while walking to my direction.

"Dad is it true that these two will go with us or is it just another prank of yours?" I asked dahil ayokong umasang sasama sila pero malalaman ko na lamang sa huli na isa lang pala ito sa mga pranks ni dad.

"Why baby girl, don't you want them to come with us?" Dad said and I rolled my eyes on him for calling me baby girl again. AGAINㅡ Well nice dad! You just broke your promise.

"Dad how many times do I have to tell you that DON'T CALL ME BABY GIRL," I said emphasizing the word don't call me baby girl. I looked at the two girls on our side and just like dad, they are also laughing na para bang wala ng bukas. Wait, are they really laughing because dad called me baby girl in front of them orㅡ Argh! Nevermind! "WALANG NAKAKATAWA," I shouted to them at pumasok na lang ako sa loob ng sasakyan.

Sumunod naman sila sa loob. Dad is in his car while Flinn and Lauren are in the same car as me. I was about to close my eyes but to my surprise, Flinn hugged me. "Sorry Win. We just can't help but laugh. Sorry if we let the beast out of you," Flinn said and I can sense the sincerity in her voice.

I just can't help but smile. Why are my friends so sweet to me? While I am talking to myself, ipinitik ni Lauren ang kamay niya sa harap ko. "Why are you smiling there Win? You're creepy." I laugh a little and turn my gaze to them.

"Tel me Flinn and Lauren, why are you so sweet to me?" I chuckled as I said those words.

Nagsukatan naman sila ng titig at hindi alam kung sino ang sasagot sa tanong ko. Why do I feel like ayaw nila sagutin yung tanong ko? It's just a simple question and I just need a simple answer. Sa huli ay napabuntong hininga na lamang si Flinn. "It's because we love you and please no more further questions." What's with these two?
