Safe Haven

"What the fuck sollen!"

What a morning.

Napabalikwas agad ako sa aking higaan nang marinig si kuya. Oh, add to cart nyo na girls, gwapo e. Still in lawschool, single but i don't know if ready to mingle hehehe.

"Woah good morning kuya! Anong what the fuck ka dyan? Aga aga potek" habang kinukusot ko pa ang aking mga mata.

"Bakit medtech ang kinuha mong course? Tangina naman sollen napag usapan na natin to!"

"Kuya please, I want to take a different path! Ano you'll force me to choose what i really don't want? Joke lang yung napag usapan natin gago umasa naman kayo"

"What? Joke lang yun? Patay ka kila mommy pag nalaman nila to, and I won't help you this time, bahala ka sa buhay mo" sabay alis sa room ko.

I scoffed, duh? As if I care.

Bumangon na ako at naghilamos and then I went downstairs to eat breakfast.

"Good morning anak, alis muna kami ng dad mo, bibisitahin namin ang hacienda," si mommy.

And yes, we're a family of lawyers but we also own a plantation, a palm oil plantation to be exact. Comprising almost half of the country's supply on palm oil. This plantation is from our grandfather pa but since among the siblings of my dad, si dad lang interested sa farming and such. Siya na din ang nagpalago making it one of the biggest supplier in the palm oil industry not just in the Philippines but also abroad.

I kissed my mom's cheek

"Okay mom, may sasabihin ako mamaya sa dinner"

My mom's brows furrowed.

"Buntis ka?"

Napahagalpak ako ng tawa.

"Wow may sasabihin lang buntis na agad? You're crazy mom"

"Anyway we'll go na, be good to your brothers"

I rolled my eyes.

"K fine whatever"

Tatlo pala kaming magkakapatid, I have 2 older brothers and i'm the youngest.

I was eating my cereal when Kuya Alfonso came, our eldest. May katawagan sa phone.

"I'll fly to Manila later Kiefer wag kang mag alala pupunta ako"

Aba

"No i'm serious, it's literally your birthday, I won't miss it"

My brows furrowed. Sino ba yang Kiefer na yan at napaka importante nya naman sigurong tao.

Binaba na ni kuya ang tawag.

"Who's Kiefer?"

Kuya's brow shot up. "Why?"

"Just asking. He seems like a close friend of yours or something"

"Oh he's a close friend of mine also from La Salle, 3rd year engineering student."

Oooh, an engineering student. Bet.

"Bat kayo nagkakilala? You're ahead of him for years"

"Basta, why are asking all of these?"

"Wala lang"

"Anyway i'll fly to Manila later, tatawagan ko lang si mommy. Kayo lang ni Ck ang matitira rito."

"I'll go shopping later"

"K"

"Gwapo ba yang kiefer na yan?"

"What?"

I rolled my eyes.

"Is Kiefer gwapo?"

Nagkibit siya ng balikat.

"Well, habulin ng girls e."

"Duh kuya you can just answer it in yes or no"

"He's gwapo alright and why are you asking me these little girl?"

Hinampas ko siya sa braso.

"Little girl ampota. Hoy i'm turning 18 na kaya in 2 months"

"You can search him on instagram @kiefersavatier"

"What? I did not ask for his instagram"

"Whatever sollen, I know deep down in your heart that you wanna ask so you're welcome"

"Ugh kuya nakakainis ka, umalis ka na nga"

He chuckled.

I just went upstairs to go to my room.

When I closed the door dali dali akong umupo sa bed ko. Opening my instagram full of excitement.

I was about to search his name but I stopped when I realized of something. Shit nakalimutan ko yung name niya.

Napasabunot ako sa buhok ko and I stopped again. Why am I doing this?

Wait, what the fuck am I doing?
