Summer to Forget ✔️

24

The next day came and as I opened my eyes, the first thing that came up unto my mind is the property title. Good thing that they're all in the dining table, eating their breakfast. They greeted their good mornings as I sat on my usual chair.

"Uh. I saw an important paper on my desk, thank you by the way." I said as they are looking at me.

Namiel choked then I saw Dad glaring at him so he immediately drink his water.

"Oh that." Rawl cleared his throat then said. "Matagal na sana naming balak sabihin sayo kaso busy ka pa sa pag-aaral mo at ayaw naman naming magambala ka pa sa pag-aaral mo."

"You should have told me earlier so I could start the construction but it's fine. Thank you. I appreciate it like super a lot!" I thanked them again for the gift and we all went silent.

"So what are your plan on that land? It's pretty big. It is good for two establishments." Dad asked.

Matagal tagal ko pa naisipan ang isasagot sa kaniya dahil hindi pa rin naman talaga ako sigurado sa plano ko pero gusto ko talagang bumalik sa pagpi-pinta at sining. I want to have a mini library and a shooting studio there too for vlogging!

"Just a big space and a four rooms space. I am still still thinking about it Dad. Any suggestions?" I asked for their ideas too.

Since they were kinda know what's happening here, I have to asked for their suggestions and ideas too. I am just listening on their suggestions until I smell coffee around.

"What about a coffee shop or a milktea shop?"

"It's fine but it will take you long. How about a rental space? Paniguradong maraming rerenta dahil magandang space iyon." Namiel suggested.

"Oh! That's nice!" I commented happily.

"What about your own idea Tam?" I stared nervously at Daddy as he asked me the question.

Kabado ako dahil baka hindi nila magustuhan ang ideya ko. Ni hindi ko nga alam kung may alam ba sila tungkol sa pagpipinta ko noon. I stayed alone and silent most of the time before. My plans that I kept are for myself. Hindi naman sa gusto kong mas pribado pero mas takot ako sa mga maaaring husga nila.

"How about an art studio? We saw your arts in your room Tam." Rawl stated.

I quickly looked at him, surprised. Leaving my mouth hung open.

"Your arts are good. We are not saying these because you are our little sister but you have the opportunity Tam. You can use your connection as an online influencer. We saw you vlogs and even read your stories." Namiel followed Rawl's statement.

I feel really nervous. I feel like they were invading my privacy as a person. I don't like it when someone reads my works with me knowing it.

Nakakahiya.

Malay mo rin hindi nila nagustuhan tapos sinabi pa nila sa iba. Gusto ko lang naman na malaman na nila na nagsusulat ako kapag successful na ako dahil paniguradong hahatakin nila ako pababa. Hindi naman sa sinasabi kong lahat ay ganoon pero kadalasan sa utak nang mga tao ngayon ay ganito na, sasabihing wala kang mararating dahil hindi iyong isang propesyon na nasasakop ng gobyerno. Kadalasan pa sa nagsasabi nito ay iyong mga edukadong akala nila ay mayayaman at mataas na ang mararating porket may mga trabaho na.

Sa panahon ngayon kadalasan pa ay iyong mga edukado ang humahatak sa atin pababa.

"Oh, that. I guess my passion for that is nowhere to be found." I said it out of nowhere.

"It will eventually return. Trust the process Tam, it will take time. But for now, think about the construction." It is Rawl's advice, I nodded and thanked them for their suggestions.
