Into YOU

CHAPTER 10

"Melody Jacey, plus rapide!" Sigaw sa 'kin ni tita

"Oui oui!" Sigaw ko pabalik at mabilis na isinuot ang aking sandals. Umpisa nang magpunta ako rito ay 'yan na ang tawag sa akin ni tita. Ewan ko pero for me ang weird pakinggan.

Natuto na rin ako ng salita nila rito. At first medyo nahihirapan pa 'ko at naguguluhan pero nung mga pang 5 months ko na ay medyo nakakapagsalita na ako ng diretso gamit ang salita nila.

I have been here in France for a year now and I live here with my aunt in the city of Bordeaux, hundred miles away from Paris.

This city posseses charm. I fit in this place, I guess.

I am happy living in here but it is still inevitable that I will not miss my friends, especially my kuya.

Last Christmas, my older brother and I made a video call, and then the six of us made a video call too. We also exchanged gifts through Xane. It was a miracle that she agreed to bring their gifts to me here in France and then, she will bring my gift for them again.

Nakakapagod 'yon pero sabi naman ni Xane noong pumunta siya rito ay ayos lang naman daw kasi nandito rin siya para bumili ng Chateau, hindi ko alam kung anong trip niya at dito talaga siya mismo naghanap noon.

Well, Bordeaux is best known for its wine related activities so, I won't be surprised why she even came here just to buy it. Balita ko rin nga ay pupunta rin pala siya sa Cité du Vin with uh I forgot who's that guy na kasama niya.

By the way, we will buy something for later because my aunt will have a visitors so now, we will go to Capucins Market.

"Que voulez-vous manger?" Tita asked me nung makababa na ako

"Coq Au Vin!" I happily said

"D'accord" sagot lang ni tita

Sumakay na kami sa kaniyang kotse at approximately, mga 10 to 15 minutes lang naman ang itatagal bago kami makapunta roon.

Nang makarating na kami ay nauna na 'kong bumaba dahil magpapark pa ng sasakyan si tita

"Allons-y Melody Jacey," sabi ni tita kaya naman ay sumunod na ako

Gaya ng request ko, magluluto si tita ng Coq Au Vin. The ingredients of Coq Au Vin are chicken, red wine of course because we're living here in Bordeaux normal na kasama ito sa mga pagkain dito, lardons, mushrooms, and garlic.

Nang matapos kaming mamili ni tita ng para sa kakainin namin ngayong tanghali ay dumiretso kami sa L Amande Douce para bumili ng macaroons. Favorite kasi ito ni tita.

Nang nasa sasakyan na kami pabalik sa bahay ay biglang nag ring ang phone ko

Chalil calling...

"Bonjour!" I greeted him

"Bonjour! Where are you?" He asked

"Uh I'm with tita, we went to Capucins, pourquoi?" I said

"Rien. Do you want to come with me later?" He asked again

"Qui c'est?" Biglang tanong ni tita

"Uh si Chalil po tita, nag-aaya" sabi ko

Si Chalil yung naging kaibigan ko paglipat ko rito sa France. Anak siya ng kaibigan ni tita Janna na si tita Charlotte.

Ni loud speaker ko yung phone ko para marinig ni tita.

"Paalam mo 'ko, naka loud speaker na yung phone" sabi ko kay Chalil

"Bonjour tante, je voudrais juste amener Jacey, nous allons juste aller nous promener." Dire diretsong sabi ni Chalil kay tita
