Intelligence series 1: Mi hermosa amante

Kabanata 2

Belle's POV

I'm here inside my room packing some crucial stuff that I need. After naming mag usap ng papa ko sa library, few days later ay pinag Impake na niya ako. He told me that later on opening na ng school year sa Pilipinas. Like Seriously? kakagraduate ko lang tapos mag aaral ulit ako?

Are they heartless or what? But nevermind, I don't have plans naman so why not go to school instead. It's an advantage for me though mauuna akong makapagtapos kesa sa mga kaklase ko.

"Hmm... Should I bring my books?" Kukunin ko na sana yung paborito kong libro nang biglang may narinig akong natumba. It turns out na isa sa mga maleta ko ang natumba. I guess it's a sign na hindi ko na dadalhin mga libro ko. That's a pity.

"Belle?" Napatingin ako kaagad sa nagsalita mula sa pintuan ko.

"Oh yes, Mama?" Nagpatuloy lang ako sa pag iimpake.

"You ready? Kailangan na nating pumunta sa airport." She sweetly said and smile at me. I smile back and nod telling her that I'm ready. Okay na siguro tung mga dadalhin ko.

Tinignan niya yung mga bagahe ko saka natawa. I respond an awkward smile, bakit ba kasi ang dami nila.

"Let Manong carry your baggage okay?"

"As if I can carry all of these Mama" I said rolling my eyes which made her chuckle a bit.

Nakasakay na kami ng eroplano, of course Mama will accompany me, It's my first time stepping my foot in the philippines after all, I'm not a kid who cannot travel on her own but this time, I need a slight guidance from my Mom.

I wonder how will my life change after getting out to my comfort zone, will it really change? I bet Not, just go with the flow of life. I just need to be resilient para di mahirapan.

"By the way, Mom. That school..."

"hmm..."

"Is it really worth it for me to study there? I haven't done any research regarding that school."

Bakit di ko naisip alamin ang background ng paaralang iyon? All I know is Maganda siya at mostly mga elite ang mga nakakapasok. I forgot to do search for the school's background, I was too engrossed packing my stuff.

"Of course, your Papa will never enroll you to a school that isn't worth it for you " My Mom replied. Somehow, that made me reassured.

"That's a relief then" I sighed out of relief.

Nginitian lang ako ni Mom and then hold my hand. She really is the sweetest.

After long hours of travel. We have finally made it here, in the Philippines.

Gabi na nang maka landing kami dito sa Pilipinas and currently inside our car. Hindi ko kilala yung nagda-drive but my mother said na matagal na raw itong nagtatrabao sa amin. He's in his early 40's i guess? It doesn't matter anyway.

"Mom Ilang oras bago tayo makarating sa bahay?" I asked.

I'm planning to take a nap baka kasi malayo pa.

"Approximately 2 hours travel, Sweety." She answered while texting someone, probably Dad.

"Alright, I want to take a nap Mom, just wake me up when we arrive" Tango lang ang naging tugon ni Mama sa akin.

I close my eyes and feel the moment of silence, only the sound of aircondition of this car can be heard. I'm so exhausted and a bit famished. I didn't do anything but sitting for long hours exhaust me. I really need to take a nap. Medyo masakit na rin yung likod ko.

Ilang minuto akong nakapikit bago tuluyang nakatulog.
