"Did you bring the sprays?" the wrinkles on her forehead deepened more as she continue checking the things inside my luggage. The hostility is evidence on her face, she was not happy to my decision. I am leaving any minute now to start reaching my dream in Baler the wild city of Maguinda. "My... I will be fine." assuring her. Great things are waiting for me in the city. Baler is the richest and successful capital of Maguinda. Great universities, jobs that will pay six digits, big companies, kind people and the sunset district that I am yearning to watch. My subconscious scream of excitement. "I guess I cannot imprison you here forever, but please... please sweety be careful" she added. I closed our gap and hug her from the back. I understand the worries on her misty eyes I know that even if she was against to my decision she will still support me. "I brought all the boxes," I whispered pertaining to the pepper spray. Baler isn't named as a wild city for nothing. The crimes and murders there isn't secret to everyone according to the internet. The city was ruled by big names, businessman that runs illegal deeds around the capital. But I don't care internet always has a word to everything. It is hard to believe because the city is rich and successful and I don't usually believe what I read without thorough research and relevant evidence. True or not I am coming there to study and be the first lawyer in our small community Alba. I have my opportunity now I won't waste it. "Lucia the uber is here," my grandpa shouted from the back yard. I am sad and worried at the same time too. I'm leaving both of my guardian here old and weak. But I cannot waste an open door right now. "My... I will call you from time to time okay? You'll tell me everything," "Shh.. You will tell me everything after you get in the city," I smile with her. "Of course I will. Don't overwork granny? Grandpa?" I tilted my head to my grandpa who just walked from the kitchen. "Fix yourself the man is waiting outside. Did you have pepper spray on that small bag?" I nodded while fixing my hair in the mirror and start caring the two luggage in both of my hands. As I put everything on the car. I hug again my grandma and grandpa. Kiss them and bid my goodbyes. "Be careful. I love you sweety!" This is my destiny, I am destined to be in Baler and work my dreams there. I was very positive that I will comeback in Alba as a professional. But we live in reality, we make our own destiny and I already chose my fate.
