Against The Destiny

Chapter 6

#GrizaldeSix

I moan in satisfaction as I rolled my whole body on my fluffy bed. If only I still have more days to rest! My body is craving for more vacations!

We spent our vacations doing a lot of activities which didn't gave us enough rest dahil sinulit namin ang araw na mag kakasama, specially Lola who seems so happy to see all of us.

I sigh and grabbed a pillow to embrace it, I was about to let myself sleep again despite of knowing that I have class when a knock snap me out of my plan.

"Miss Hellary? Nasa hapag na po si Madame."

I rolled my eyes and had no choice but to leave the bed and prepare for my class. The moment I reach the dining room, I noticed that there is only me and Mom for todays breakfast.

I kissed her cheeks and she annoyingly rolled her eyes.

"Bakit niyo naman iniwan mag isa ang Lola niyo?" Hindi pa man ako nakakaupo ay may ibinato ng tanong, so that explains why she looks annoyed.

I slowly settled down myself, her eyes not leaving me. God! I am so tired getting interrogated in every meals I share with Mom! This freaking dining hall witnessed a lot of my interrogation!

"Uhm... Tanner's plan."

I simply answered which only made her well-drawn-eyebrow to flipped. I sigh, knowing that she isn't satisfied with my answer, and annoyed still. So, I had to save Tanner's ass because he's the one I mentioned though Xanthus has something to do with the plan.

"Well... nag paalam naman kami kay Lola, and she let us. And it happened for just three days Mom, we spent the rest of the weeks with Lola."

Her eyes sharpened, no words can change her mind to scold me for leaving Lola.

"She asked all of you to be there so at least she could talk to someone! You only see often yet you left her alone?!"

I close my eyes tightly, too early for this. I wonder if the rest are in the same situation like me. Hindi tama na ako lang ang pinapagalitan. I hope Kuya did not left early for work, at least I could use him to shield me.

"Nag paalam naman kami, at pumayag siya." I repeated with controlled voice. Sumasakit ulo ko, umagang umaga.

Although I was guilty for leaving Lola that time, but I won't deny the truth that the travel with my fucked up cousins somehow help me to get a peace of mind. My extrovert side got waken.

"Still! Dapat hindi kayo tumuloy! You're a woman Hellary, you know what she felt! Ano inaasahan niyo, pigilan niya kayo? Are you that stupid?"

Humaba ang nguso ko, pinili nalang manahimik because she's right. Always right. I am the woman, I'm the one who should adjust in any moment. Right.

I went to school after a long long talk with Mom.

Sinalubong ako ng dalawa kong kaibigan na agad na nanghingi ng pasalubong, hindi pa nag iisang oras ay nag ungkat na sila ng issue patungkol kay Zion at sa rumored girlfriend, fiancee or whatever niya.

"I think it's only rumor." Kenea commented while she's scrolling her instagram.

"I think no, I mean may kuhang picture nadin si Ivy sa mama ni Zion and they seems fond of each other."

They started to exchange their own perceptions, which only made me feel more stress. Galing bakasyon, tapos mamamatay lang pala sa sakit ng ulo!

Rumor or not, pake ko ba?

They kept on talking about it kaya kahit anong pilit kong huwag isipin ay pilit pading pumapasok sa utak ko. Paanong hindi? Minsan ang sarap din nila makitang mabura sa mundo.
