2128 Words
❝THE wind is so refreshing,❞ Angel sings while her eyes was close and raising her arms to the level of her shoulders as she spins in the wind. Angel feels the air hitting her smooth and white skin, air that is clean that she won't earn anymore but she feels that it is delicious that can only be inhaled in the province. Because in today's neighborhoods there is black smoke from factories and add the car fumes that make the air smell bad. While in the province, surrounded by green plants, it provides clean and fresh air. In the Ridge Province, where the breeze is too cold, the plants are beautiful to look at, the flowers are beautiful. The Alcantara family is the richest in Baguio .In fact, Hacienda Alcantara has the largest land in Baguio. Almost all you can see are beautiful different types of flowers that are their livelihood that reach different parts of the Philippines. It also reaches outside the country and they have many more businesses to own, they also have a business in Manila. They own buildings in Manila, these buildings are called Alcantara Condominium properties. Simply put, if flowers are their livelihood in the province. Condominium they sell their livelihood in Manila. Even if they have a good livelihood in Manila, they will never leave Baguio because the entire Alcantara family loves Baguio, where they were born, so much so that their family serves here. In fact, her grandfather, Ignacio Manuel Alcantara, was the kind and loving Governor of Baguio, while her mother, Gloria Manuella Madrigal was the helpful mayor of Baguio Town. While her father, Isidro Madrigal, is a brave General of the police. Her father and mother came from a wealthy and well-known family. Her father comes from a brave clan of police officers who serve as a public safety watchdog, while his mother comes from a prominent political family in Tagaytay. Maybe their family has a desire to serve like her twin, Heaven Madrigal who is a charitable Doctor, she studied medicine abroad but after finishing she immediately returned to the country to serve her countrymen because she wanted to cure those who are in need and sick in their Angel smiled every time she remembered that even though her twin had a greater opportunity in America, she was still loyal to her country and chose to serve her countrymen even though they had nothing to give because they were poor. Simply put---A spoon, a beak---They will certainly prioritize the daily food needs. They are twins but they also have a lot of differences, just like Heaven graduated from medicine. Whereas Agriculture is what she finished because she has a big heart for the gift of mother nature. Since Angel graduated from Agriculture, she takes care of their flower plants herself, she also often teaches the right gardening to their workers in the hacienda. Angel also taught their workers at Hacienda Alcantara, how to plant properly? In order to speed up growth, he also teaches them that the fertilizer they use should be natural without chemicals. Since childhood, she has been fond of taking care of plants, this is where she found her happiness and this is also where she found her place in the world. She also does projects that help the poor, how gardening can become a livelihood. ❝It's dizzying,❞ she laughs as she sniffs her senses. Angel squatted on the ground, she didn't care if her clothes got dirty because she had been doing this for a long time. She is the type of woman who has no art in her body. Angel focused her attention on a white rose that symbolizes simplicity and peace. At first sight you will immediately feel the calming white rose, so you are sure to immediately feel a light peaceful feeling every time you look at the white rose. And most of all its beauty is really very simple, it seems that she has a simple beauty and a peaceful life. These white roses are often given to our departed loved ones so that their souls will be at peace in the afterlife. ❝Do you know we're the same, we're both simple and beautiful,❞ like she was talking crazy about the white rose she was holding. Angel is in the part of the Hacienda where the plants that are lined up are roses, you will grow, you will be beautiful because in the care she does, she does not only give fertilizer, she also accompanies it by watering her plants with love. Isn't it? These plants are very lucky for her, because apart from caring for them with watering, she also gives them love. These plants are indeed very lucky for her. Just think, she is caring and loving towards flowers. The her future husband must be very lucky for her. Because it will not only have a good wife, because there is a bonus of caring and loving. In their Hacienda, the white rose is her favourite flower, maybe it is her favourite flower of all because it is simple but meaningful and beautiful. For her white rose's is the purest, she likes it cause she admires people who have a pure heart. Maybe when she falls in love, the one she wants to fall in love with is this same white rose. With a blessed heart and a pure soul. But is she the one to decide? They say the heart chooses and emotions love, so can she really choose what she wants. Her slightly narrow eyes gradually widened when someone answered, she felt nervous because she was the only person here in the middle of the hacienda. And she had nothing with her, but the flowers. ❝I'm the only one who's beautiful,❞ stifled laughter from whoever spoke behind her back. Suddenly, what her grandmother had said came to her came to her mind that was now at peace----according to this---the plants will also can understand. Angel was only seven years old when her grandmother passed away due to cancer, at first it was difficult for her to accept it, but Heaven was there to accompany her and understand so she was able to cope with that day. ❝Oh My God! Grandma was right when she said that the flowers can hear and understand me because they have spoken now.❞ she happily promised that she would be jumping up and down for joy. When Angel was a little, she believed in what the elders said. Because the elders have been living in the surface world for a long time, they already know everything. They have been through it all, in other words, the elderly have a lot of experience. They also said---You're on your way, I'm coming back. ❝Looks like I need to treat you too❞ jokingly replied the person behind her. The hairs on her body stood up when she heard someone speak behind her again. Oh My Ghost! What is that? There are no ghosts every noon to be honest, nor is she with anyone because she went to the middle of the Hacienda alone. Angel stood up and faced her, when she faced her, her twin was greeted with a smile, so she was a little surprised. What is she doing here? What she knows is that it is going to a place, where it provides free treatment services to people who cannot afford it. You're right there are still free ones these days, but only a few. And one of them is her twin who has a good heart who is ready to help and do good deeds. These are the people who want to help without expecting anything in return, they are happy to see the smile on the person they helped who no longer has any illness. Maybe it's hard to believe nowadays that there are still people who give help without expecting anything in return. ❝I thought you were in Manila?❞ she asked here. Can't cancel? As for the help that is going to be fixed, poor people who are going to be helped rarely have someone help cancel it. The place where this doctor is now in Manila? Where there is a greater need for its services without waiting for a replacement, seeing the patient's face brighten is sufficient reward. Angel wondered why it was still here, she thought it had already left. There was a trace of sullenness on her face, she avoided looking at her. ❝Don't say you forgot?❞ she asked her in a haughty manner. Forgotten? Did she forget something? Based on her reaction, she seems to have forgotten something. Angel is only twenty years old now but her forgetfulness is becoming more frequent. Angel placed her index finger on her sensei as if she was thinking. And then, fortunately, something suddenly entered her mind. ❝That's it!❞ Her index finger was still pointing at her senses then her eyes lit up as if something had entered her mind. Angel immediately made a peace sign here. Because she forgot her promise to her that she would accompany her to the charity work in Manila. ❝Sorry! I promised you that I would accompany you to Manila to help you❞ she remembered this promise. Her twin has a mission in Manila. In the squatter area, where the poor citizens of the country live who do not take care of their health. Her twin has a compassionate heart for people who need her help, she is a supported twin so she is by her side to show her support for them. ❝So, are you coming with me?❞ it asked. It's good that her twins are planning a lot and she who was helped in Baguio, maybe they should also help the sick and unemployed people in Manila. ❝Of course you might sulk, if I'm not going,❞ she said jokingly, she cross-armed her and scolded her. ❝It's good you know,❞ she told her angrily, she pulled her hand. ❝Come on before I change my mind,❞ she said while pulling one of her hands, she suddenly stopped walking as if she forgot something. ❝Wait! I'm just going to get something,❞ she said, then quickly ran to get what she was going to bring. Angel came out, she was carrying seeds that caused a big surprise to appear on her face. These are seeds of plants that are easy to plant, grow and use. Does she intend to teach the people of Manila how? Make money on the plant. ❝We're going to the in lacking area, they're building houses there, the houses there are also crowded, they don't have their own land, they don't have that cultivation.❞ this reminded. Angel understood the reason for this because her twin's comment had a point, the people of lacking area have no land of their own, but for all problems there is always a solution, so he thought that plastic bottles can be made into a burn. Plant plants, they can even help with society's waste problem because there is still waste that can be used. ❝I know that,❞ she replied. ❝You know, what are you going to do?❞ she asked. ❛When there's something there's always a way,❜ That's his motto in life. Angel smiled, she also smiled because she knew her well, she knew that at those times there was a good solution that ran through his resourceful mind. Because she is not the type of woman who gives up quickly. She's a typical girl that tries and tries until you succeed. She tried hard, how many times she fell, she would get up and get up again because she knew in herself that the right opportunity for her would come. They said as long as there is life there is hope, as long as a person is breathing there is still hope to succeed. A person's chance is lost only when it is no longer alive. When our life's end everything was gone. Angel always told herself----I can do it! If she doesn't believe in herself, how can he do what he wants to do. Second---I can do it! She can do it, if she takes steps to make what she wants happen. Third---I can handle it! You must be happy to shout this word, the sweet victory. Angel looked around as if looking for someone when they reached the parking lot at Hacienda Alcantara. ❝Where is the volunteer team that will be with us?❞ she asked. Why isn't the volunteer team here?
