While waiting for my students to finish what I had done I decided to go out first. From my vantage point I could see the two couples in a holding hands.
It was six years ago. Until now it's clear in my mind, the teenager Xeina Lyndsay, loving and chasing Clifford Leorenz Salazar. Everything we put together is still clear in my mind. And I still can't forget and erase the pain he made me feel.
I almost gave my whole self to him. I stared at the passing man holding a book, he stopped, turned to me. Pain stabbed my chest again, I turned around and re -entered the classroom. I disobeyed my family. I loved him so much, but he just crushed me so much. He proved me wrong that I fought my love for him.
Infatuation never stay, it will also fade in just a little time, especially when you're both in a different place, when you didn't see that special person, and it's just a one-sided status, that's what they say, but nevermind, 'cause for me as long as the feeling's real, it will never go even it took a years for the both of you to meet again, even you're the only one, who keep on chasing and liking him.
I slowly opened my eyes, then I looked out of the car window on the left side, and feel the calmness by seeing the scenery of my home province.
Nothing's change, it still gave me a peaceful sense, like I was far from stress. I was enjoying the view when my cellphone rang.
"Hello?" I yawn, while stretching my left hand.
"Xeina Lyndsay!" there's a threat in her voice.
"Mommy, calm down okay. I'm with Tita Ashley, so I'm safe." Aunt Ashley, my cousin Asteria's mother, caught our eye from the rear view mirror, I smiled as she shook her head.
"You really can't wait for your Daddy to come with us." She says, from the other line. I pouted my lips, while playing the tip of my finger.
"In the first week of May, you will return to the province. I can't wait any longer Mommy, I want to enjoy my vacation here for at least two months." I heard her sigh, I smiled, I'm sure I'm already the one who win in this argument again.
"Okay, just make sure you don't do anything to harm you Xeilyn, in a month we can actually take your Daddy home there, do we understand each other?"
"Noted, Mommy!" I said as a response. I feel the excitement bloomed inside me. I’m sure I won’t hang up my vacation today.
When I saw the town of Zaragoza, I was especially happy, because I was close to our house here. I opened the window in my side, I released my right hand, I smiled as I felt the wind.
The smell of the smoke from a grilled barbecue and lechong manok. The vendors on the side walk selling fresh fruits, and delicious streetfoods almost make me jump off the car. "Xeilyn, you better put your hand inside the car, later that car will hit, I'll be the one to blame your Mommy, you know that." I followed her.
"Sorry Tita, I just really missed the atmosphere here in province." She barely laughed, it was only a matter of time before we were really close to our house.
