She Thought

Chapter 15

Here we are in the Amaya View and it’s very peaceful here.

“Zia, akala ko mas masaya pag tayo lang pero mas masaya pala talaga pag madami noh?” Axe whisper to me.

“Sana nga ininvite mo yung parents Mo! Hay nako!” I replied.

“Zia, after nito hindi kaba bibisita sa Antipolo?” he asked.

“Baka pupunta ako pero ang tanong, saan ako matutulog?” tanong ko habang kumakain kami ng ice cream.

“Sa bahay niyo malamang diba? Hindi ba puwedeng bumisita sa Dad mo?” he asked.

“Hay nako Axell! Willing naman ako bumisita pero hindi muna ngayon, masyado pang mahirap.” sabi ko tapos tumakbo na papunta kila Reniella.

“Oh Zia! Picture tayo!” Reniella suggested.

“Sige po madam.” Hay nako si Ella talaga.

Si Reniella ay parang hindi magsawa magpicture! Mga 100+ talaga yung napicture niya sa camera ko. Puno na ng pagmumukha niya, nakakasawa.

Okay, it’s been 1 week and 3 days after all the travel sa Cebu at Cagayan tapos yan lang yung napuntahan namin.

“Zia! Mabuting tao pala si Nath no?” Axe said.

“Oo, Sure na sure nga ako na magkakasundo talaga kayo.” I replied.

“Zia? Saan daw tayo? Sure ako si Mommy excited nanaman makipagchika.” sabi ni Axe habang tumitingin sa mga pictures niya.

“Sa Iligan City daw, malapit lang naman dito yun.” sagot ko.

Natulog na naman ako sa byahe dahil nakakapagod talaga mag travel. Si Nath ay nanood lang ng anime at busy sila lahat sa phone pero sila Mom at Tita Cristal ay parang hindi nauubosan ng topic.

Nath woke me up kasi we’re in the Iligan na. We stayed here at the Plaza Alemania hotel and we will stay here for 3 days. Nasa iisang room lang kami ni Ella, tapos si Axe naman at Nath and lastly si Mom at si Tita Cristal.

“Hoy Zia! Gumala ka parin sa Antipolo ha? Napakalayo kasi sa inyo tapos nakakahiya sa Lola mo.” request ni Reniella.

“Yes po madam!” sagot ko nalang para makatulog na ako.

Napakasarap ng tulog ko kasi hindi kami maaga ngayun. Mga 1 nadaw kami gagala kasi pagod na si Mom at Tita mag drive. Puwede naman ako ang magdrive kaso lang wala pa naman akong lisensya kaya hindi pwede.

“Nath? Why? Napatawag ka?” I asked.

“Do you have any plans today?” he said.

“Wala naman, gusto mo gumala? Wag mona ngayon Nath, laro nalang tayo online games.” I suggested.

“Sige, tulog pa naman si Axell.” he said then end the call.

I just waited for him but I got bored so I open my f*******: and I got a message from Edriell.

Edriell: Zia? How are you na?

Edriell: Why aren’t you visiting to the church?

Edriell: Did you guys move out?

Edriell: Saan na kayo nakatira?

Ed is worried pala and I think I also have an another reason to go in the Antipolo…

“Nath, why do you want to go gala?” I asked kasi kanina pa pala siya nag doorbell.

“Why you didn’t talked about it?” He suddenly asked.

“What do you mean?” I asked then I distract myself to my phone.

“I know you live in this world that you wanted to meet your expectations and to have a perfect life Zia but I want you to be aware that everything isn’t perfect, everything here is temporary that’s why change that’s perspective because you’re the one who will suffer. Zia I am not telling you to hate life but do not expect anything to be perfect. Expectations will remain expectations. What happened now? You expect that you’ll gonna have a perfect family but what happened now? You’ve just easily letting go of the person whom you value the most.” Nath added.

“Hay nako Draken. What do you want me to do? To cry? To be depressed? To resent my dad? I don’t want to live like that Nath. I don’t want to be miserable like others. I am happy that Dad finally felt what true love means and he finally get the happiness that he want. I’m thankful that he made me as who I am today. I am thankful for him because he finally end it because I think I won’t be able to carry in the future or if he stay still and he would tell us we are the biggest mistake he have ever done.” I answered. “ Let’s prepared na for later.” I added.

“I’m sorry Zyle and remember that I’m always here Zylezia!” he said then he leave.

I wake up Reniella and told her it’s 10 A.M. na and she immediately hurriedly stand up.

“Zia! Ba’t hindi mo ako ginising ako ng maaga?” sumimangot na sabi niya.

“Hoy ako pa kasalanan, sisisihin mo yang mata mo!” sagot ko sa kanya.

“Hay nako! Napakaganda kasi ng panaginip ko tapos paepal lang yung oras!” reklamo niya.

“Maligo ka na nga Ella! Ang baho mo na.” sabi ko sa kanya kaya ayun nainis.

We just went to Tinago Falls and Maria Cristina Falls. We had fun there at feel ko nga ayaw ko nang umalis sa Tinago pero ayaw ko din naman umitim. Pagod na kaming lahat kaya diretso na tulog.

Today is the last day of the travel kasi bukas uuwi na kami. I love this chapter very much because I met Nath, Mom finally met her bestfriend, I spent this travel with my very true friends and especially I found some pieces.

We decided to go the Paseo De Santiago cause I heard that it is one of the popular tourist spot here and internet is really not wrong. It’s very beautiful here and this is my favorite place of all time. Imagine all of my favorites places; sea, some lights,fountain, benches and music and the most important is I have with the people who help me through this battle.

“Napakaganda naman dito tapos ito pa yong last na napuntahan natin.” reklamo ni Tita Cristal.

“Oo nga po, maganda dito balik-balikan.” Ella said.

The night ended with a beautiful scenario. I had so much fun traveling and thankful for the people who join us in this adventure because it had so much fun being with them.

Our flight going back to Manila is 2:14 P.M. pa and we’re on the way to Cagayan pa kasi wala palang airport dito. This city is so simple but yet unforgettable.

We arrived here in the airport na and thankfully we landed smoothly but again, kailangan na maghiwalay kasi iba-iba kami ng bahay.

“Zia! Pupunta ako sainyo ah? Just send me your address.” Nath said then he hugged me.

“Yes sure!” I said.

“Zia! Punta ka Antipolo ha? Lagot ka talaga sakin pag ayaw mong bumisita!” paalala ni Axe.

“Oo na! Omygosh Nath! Can you come with me? Para naman makita mo ang Antipolo tsaka doon naman tayo matutulog sa kanila Axe.” I suggested.

“Sige Zia, isama mo to si Drake kasi mabubulok to sa bahay kakanood ng anime.” Tita Cristal help me to persuade Nath.

“Okay, when?” Nath answered kahit alam mong napilitan lang.

We ended this day with a goodbyes and hugs. I think this travel taught me a lesson just like what Nath said, that everything is really temporary but even it is just temporary it will still remain as a happy and enjoyable memory. Thankfully my mom is strong and a very kind person because she never shows that she was chasing for Dad and alam ko na ata kung saan ako nagmana.
