THE MERMAID PRINCESS OF SECTION HELL (ON-GOING)

KABANATA 9

                          "He's back"

Days,weeks,months and year past by has come.Ang ma-home schooled,tulog,gising kumain,maligo,magluto,magbake at tumulong sa gawaing bahay.That became my routine for the whole year.

Umiiwas rin akong pumunta sa karagatan para maiwasan ang kung anumang unexpected visitor o isang serena na galing sa amin ang makakita sa akin.

I could still remember what happened 1 year ago....It was quite shocking but made me feel great in a way I could never forget his promise he vowed to me.

Pagkatapos ng usapan namin ni Icarus ay umuwi na siya sa kanila.We came home after 3 days and just found out that Icarus flew to the U.S to continue his bussiness at para na rin lumago.No one knows kung bakit bigla nalang itong nawala.Even kuya Ezio and Kuya Jace don't know the real reason he had to leave the Philippines...he's secretive.

Those words that he said made me clunge to it.Hindi ko alam...dapat hindi ako umasa sa taong iyon at maghintay sa kaniya ng isang taon.Hindi ko lang talaga namalayan na naghihintay pala ako sa kaniya.

I just found myself waiting for him everyday beside the window.Umaasang may biglang pumasok sa aming tahanan at kunin ang aking kamay para maging kasintahan niya.What a naughty fish am I right?

"Hezekiah? Are you alright?" I flinch as I heard Mommy's voice.

Hindi ko napansin na...pumupunta na naman ang isip ko sa malayo.

"I'm fine Mom" I said and gave her an assuring smile.

Sa isang taon ay na adapt at na sanay na ako sa buhay ng mga tao.They are very opposite to us,mermaids and mermans.Which I envy because I really never experienvce this kind of life in the underwater.

"Iha,I received a lot of compliments from your Proffesor which made me really proud of you.But then,she noticed that your really been always out of your mind in the past lessons." She sigh at hinimas ang aking mga braso.

She noticed it too? Am I really that obvious? hindi ko rin alam kung bakit hindi ako makafocus tulad nung dati.I just keept on realizing and finding myself thinking about him.

"Sorry po,Its just.I find myself missing my family," I said.

Lie!! What you just said is a lie Hezekiah! Mas mabuti sana kung sinabi ko nalang na iniisip ko yung binata.

"No,don't be sorry darling.I can't blame you for that.I hope your slowly get used to this new life you had"

Tumango ako ng marahan at ngumiti sa kaniya.

"I'll be...definetly be healed"

Our conversation made me think about my real parents.Okay lang ba kaya sila? Are they eating well? Sana hindi nagkaproblema sa kaharian.

Everyone was busy then.Busy preparing for my debut.Hindi ko man gusto pero pinagbigyan ko na sila Mommy at Daddy.They have done nothing but treating me as their daughter and giving me my needs.

"Oh dear! You're like a doll,goodness gracious!"

The dress designer that Mommy choose to make my gowns said.He also the one is assign for my hair and makeup.I choose the simple dress.It hugs my body perfectly and shows my curvy waist.Hindi ko kasi gusto yung mabigat at parang medyo nasobrahan sa design and thankfully they let me pick it.
