Learning How To Love Again

Mansion Tour

“You need to appreciate and thank every little good things happened in your life.”

"Hi Mom, Dad." Louis greeted his parents.
"Good morning po." Nahihiya kong sabi.

"Hi anak and iha. Take your seat." Sabi ni Tita Lemery. She's beautiful as always.

"So.. how's your sleep iha? Did you sleep well, did you feel comfortable in your room?" Your room? Ah.. okay..

"Okay naman po Tito. Sa sobrang komportable ko nga eh hindi ako nagising at di namalayan na nasa ibang bahay pala ako." Ani ko at medyo natatawa.

"Well, that's very nice to hear." Sabi niya kaya napa-smile nalang ako pati kay Tita and Louis.

Nasa hapag-kainan kami and we're just talking about things that we tend to share. Funny, shocking and amazing stories we share.

When we're all done eating, pinalinis nila Tita ang dining table then kami naman ay lumipat sa 2nd floor, in the round balcony. May maliit na glass table na may thick white flower vase at syempre may red and white roses ito that were arranged into bouquet.
May tatlong upuan that were made of steel, so doon kami umupo ni Tita while Louis and Tito were standing up.

"Okay, so I have something to tell you and alam na ito nila Mommy." Louis bursted out and he look at me worried.

So.. I'm right, parang may sasabihin talaga sila and it made my heart pound a little faster.
Tumingin ako kina Tita and tumango siya sa akin. Worried too.

"Last night, when you fell asleep in my car, I decided that I'm not going to wake you up para iuwi ka nalang sa bahay mo dahil sabi mo you're fine. But I'm not convinced so I decided to stay in your house for the whole night. But.." He stopped and his face expression turned into mad, confused and something na di ko maintindihan.

"When we got there, your house was robbed or basta hindi ko alam kung anong pakay ng taong yun but he turned your house into messed and sadly hindi ko siya nahuli nang nakita ko siyang patakas na." He explained.

"Wh-what?" Iyan nalang ang nasabi ko.

"And I jumped into conclusion that it's Jasmine, who sent that man to do something stupid." I can see his fingers bent down into fist.

Takot.

Iyan na naman ang naramdaman ko. It's true that she's not going to stop until she get what she want.

Wala akong ibang masabi sa kanila. Para bang namimilipit ang mga dila ko.

"So Iha, I've told Louis that you're so free to live here in the mansion." Tita smiled but I can still see in her eyes that she's worried.

"It's for your safety iha and we're not letting you to decline." Dugtong naman ni Tito.

Pilit akong ngumiti to let them know that I'm taking their offer.

"Thanks po. It means a lot to me and I really do appreciate your concern." Sawakas nakapagsalita na ako.

"Don't worry iha we'll fixed the security of the subdivision. Para wala ng mga bad guys na makakapasok doon." I gave them a confused face.

"Ah. Hindi mo pa pala alam?" She asked. So I shake my head slowly.

"That subdivision is ours but, kami ng Tito mo, napagkasunduan namin na si Lily na ang magmamanage non." She explained.

"Whoa." Yan lang nasabi ko. Namangha ako dahil ang liit lang pala ng mundo.
Siguro kaya nandoon si Louis sa park ng subdivision dahil sila may-ari.

Coincidence? Or Fate?

"Oh sige na. We're heading out. May lalakarin pa kami ni Leonard. Feel at home iha and Louis, please accompany this lovely girl."  She smiled at me then she stood up.
