The Purpose Of Change

Chapter 3

👑 3 👑

Time flies so fast. Today is our ABC Day and we're now going to Tagaytay City 😍😍😍

We are all excited for this day, my friends always asked me if everything was set and of course all our plans were all set last week. We'll be staying there for 3 days, 3 days and 2 nights to be exact and we'll be staying in La Ledesma, obviously the name says whose the owner. The property was owned by Tito Harris, the father of Harvey that he inherited from his parents. They're rich guys, richer than my family.

After less than an hour of travel we arrived at our destination known for it's cool breezes and tourist attractions; Tagaytay City.

The fresh air was so relaxing. I really missed this place, I went last year but I didn't slept here, I rented a room in  Olivares. I decided to do ukay-ukay, I'm fanned of it. I'm not alone, I'm with My brother's girlfriend, Sophia. Remember? I can't go out alone. Sucks right?

"Guys It's only 10 am. We can still rest before lunch." Harvey said

"Where are we going to eat lunch by the way?" Crish asked

"We can go to the nearest restau in town." Harvey replied

"Or we can go to Bulalohan in Mahogany." Fiona excitingly suggested

"Do you want to eat bulalo?" Harvey asked while looking at me and then to others

They answered "Yes", I just smiled. I don't want to talk too much actually, I'm reserving my energy later.

Did I tell you that the great suitor of mine, Vince Oliver Cruz was missing in action? If not? Now I'm telling you, he is! I never expect to celebrate our ABC Day alone with these couples. But then I'm thankful I'm not literally alone just lonely, no pair, no Vince.

"Are you okay?" Bella asked without me noticing she was there.

We're in the veranda of La Ledesma, the others went to their rooms to rest. Only the two of us stayed.

"Yeah! I'm just having some time to think." I answered her while looking at the beautiful view

"Girl, there's a lot of fish in the ocean. Why limiting yourself to one?" she said while looking in the same direction as me

I just keep quiet.

"I'm telling you this because we're friends. I know you ever since high school, even we're not close back then, I always admire you for everything. For your beauty, kindness,  your personality, you're also smart. There's a lot out there wanting to be part of your life, someone who's more deserving than Vince."

This time I look at her and so is she. She smiled at me, looking into my eyes and said...

" If only there's no Fiona in Harvey's life Ash. I'll do everything for the both of you to find your way to each other. But then our baby Harvey is taken so we'll find someone for you, but not Vince okay?"

I laughed at her. I never know she doesn't like Vince that much. We both end up laughing. She hugged me and I hugged her back but then there's more to it.

"Ash, I hate that no label thingy. But also I have things to tell you later. This is just a warm up."

"Did you investigate that much Bel? You know I'm not that attached right?" I asked

"It's better to know early right?" 

"Thank you!"

We let go of the hugged and decided to go to our rooms. It is not new to me actually, my friends are overprotective. To be honest, I never had a boyfriend but I have suitors and I never thought that a person can break someone's heart even they're not together. It's my second heartache, my first one? That's a secret.

We decided to have lunch in Mahogany Beef Market and Bulalohan. Bulalo in Tagaytay is the best guys. Don't miss to taste if you go here in Tagaytay City.

We're all full and satisfied. We consumed all the food infront of us, none left. After lunch, we all agreed to tour around the place. We don't have plans for today but we have tomorrow ofcourse.

I'm touring around alone, the others are left looking to other bulalo menu. They want to buy for dinner, they can't get over of the taste, delicioso!
All I can see were bulalo, bulalo and bulalo ha ha ha. I told them that we should go to Puzzle Mansion because it wasn't part of our tomorrow's attraction visit. We have our own van, so we don't have any hassle with transportation going there and all the three boys know how to drive.

Upon arriving in the Mansion, I hurriedly entered. I want to make my self busy and because I really love arts.

"Wow!" It is all I could said

"I thought you forgot to list this place in our getaway." he said

"Of course not. You know me, I would love to be here everytime." I replied

"Did you give it to her?" I asked him about the bracelet

"She loves it. But why? Of all the gift you can give, why is it the bracelet you really want to have?" he asked confused

"It will be the best give to someone I owed a lot."

"Ash, you don't owed anything to her. It is my willingness to stay." he said while looking at my eyes

"I know but still." I smiled at him

"Oh, good thing you're both here. Let's tour around, you have no right to say NO Ashley." who can truly said NO to Fiona's invitation

"Let's go!" I said while smiling at her.

We tour around amazed. This museum of puzzles was on Guinness Book of Records, awesome! It's nice to be here, it is my first time knowing it. Maybe I don't really pay attention when we went here before. My eyes and my heart is happy. There are many attractions here in Tagaytay but this one was one of my favorite.

It's quite dark when we decided to went back to the Villa. We also eat in a restaurant, we even requested to preheated the bulalo, we're so brave for this one haha.

I hope this day will end good, even after Bella story to tell about Vince.
