Those Blurry Lines

Chapter 11

Disclaimer:

The players and the places (of the game) that will be mentioned below is fictional. However, the game is true. Fencing is part of the UAAP. The rules and regulations, mechanics, and the way how they will play is real.

I'm into this kind of game since the past months and I've been watching it. It caught my attention, so I'm happy to share this with you BUT I am not a professional.

(Also, let's support them, haha. Fencing is hard and it's an expensive game, but it's fun. I'm looking forward to play it in the future, charot.)

If there are mistakes, I am open for correction :))) However, I'm hoping that I can describe it well. Thanks.

Chapter 11

Adapt

"Tara na po, ma'am," yaya nung driver sa 'kin nang pinagbuksan ako ng pinto.

I went in without a word. Itinaas ko ang shades ko at sumandal sa upuan. The car started moving away and I saw how our big house disappeared from my sight.

Papunta kami ngayon sa Tanay para mag bakasiyon—na lagi kong ginagawa. I must spend this time properly. Sobra akong na-stress sa school year.

The past months, we spent it with endless parties and rebellion. Mom would always call me in the middle of night, mag-aaway, aalis, laging ganyan pa rin ang routine namin.

I got used it, so it doesn't bother me anymore. Ewan ko lang kay Mommy.

I held my sling bag tighter and felt the puppy keychain hanging from the end of the zipper. Napangiti ako nang maalala si Jackson.

I did not expect him to be close with me.

Alam ko naman na ako ang tipo ng tao na mahirap kausap. Pero bilib ako sa pagti-tiyaga niya.

Everytime I went to the building for yoga, he would always wait for me to have lunch at the eatery. Napapalapit na rin ako kina Manang at sa ibang mga taga-silbi roon.

"Magandang tanghali po, Ma'am," bati ni Auring, ang caretaker ng bahay namin.

I just nodded and gave her my bag as I went inside the big place. Kahit malaki rin ito, kumpara sa bahay namin sa City, mas comforting dito.

Bukod sa rito ako lumaki, alam ko rin na hindi ako mapupuntahan at makokontrol ni Mommy rito.

It's an ancestral house with a modern Spanish style. Kahit luma na ay para pa rin itong bago dahil inaalagaan ito ng maayos.

A lot of people would buy it because it's so big and it's in a nice place. May dalawang pool, lots of rooms, a backyard for archery and a garden. Attraction din ang malaking fountain nito na nasa harapan.

"Inihanda ko na po ang pananghalian niyo-"

"I'm full," pagputol ko.

Umakyat ako sa engrandeng staircase at pumasok sa kwarto ko. Since I announced about when I'll arrive here, the whole place is dust-free.

Kaagad akong naligo at natulog.

The next days, I was just contemplating to myself. I would swim at the pool, do some yoga, and archery.

The province makes me calm down. The nature, the humming birds... it really satisfy my soul.

I also decided to have a social media detox, kaya wala talaga akong ideya kung ano na ang nangyayari sa siyudad at sa mga kaibigan ko.
