Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering'Engineering? This is one of my choices when I was still contemplating what program should I choose for college. This is my third choice to be exact. My second choice is architecture while my first choice is Fine Arts or Fashion Designing. I know it's weird that I have two options on my first choice. It's just that, I really love both of them. I want to study both of them. So I decided to pursue fine arts first before fashion designing that's why I take an entrance examination for fine arts.
But of course, I can't say no to my Dad that's why I didn't dare to complain. I have a responsibility as his daughter. I must listen to him and be an obedient daughter. I must do everything to repay all the things he did for me. And if I do that correctly, surely he will be please and it will make him proud of me and I will gain his attention, his affection, and his love. And besides, taking up

I gaze down to my wrist watch, Alas Prian is right- it's already 6:00 PM. I stood up on my seat and I get my bag before I look at him and smile. He tilted his head at ngumisi siya sa akin bago siya naunang mag lakad. I follow him silently, he even open the door of the coffee shop for me without saying anything. With that simple gesture, I can say that Alas Prian is a modern gentlemen.I lift my head and stare the sky. Padilim na ang langit, at mas lumalamig na rin ang ihip nang hangin. I was like walking in the road in Las Vegas full of melting snow. The difference is- I like the overwhelming coldness of the wind here. It makes you shiver but at the same time, you want more of it because it's giving you a soothing feeling."You're playing basketball, right?" I mutter breaking the silence between us.I glance at him when he didn't reply and I saw him looking straight on the road with his left hand inside his pocket while his right hand is holding the strap

I froze on my spot when I saw my father on the main living room. He's reading a Manila Bulletin newspaper while sitting comfortably on the single sofa."Dad..." I greeted him, still can't believe that he's here.Ito ang unang beses na nakita ko siya pag karating ko galing school. He's always not around kapag dumarating ako.He slowy turn his gaze to me when he heard him. His forehead creased that makes him more strict and intimidating kaya napakapit ako sa strap nang bag ko. He remove his eyeglasses and folded the Manila Bulletin his reading and then he check the time on his wristwatch."Just right on time for dinner" saad niya sa seryosong boses.My eyes widened with that. Sasabayan niya ako kumain nang dinner? For real?He shifted his gaze to me before he stood on his chair. Pinasadahan niya ako nang tingin and he strictly look at me on my face."Go upstairs and change your clothes. We will eat dinner before 7:00" utos niya.

"Do you want to come with us Eline?" Gia ask while she's fixing her things.Mrs. Bianchi just dismiss our class. And I'm not quite sure how Gia manage to go nights out despite the struggle on our major subjects. For sure this is just about another nights out that she planned together with Axel."No thanks, I still need to finish my analysis for my case study" I smile politely and gather my things.I saw her flip her black mid length hair and turn her head in me."Really huh? Hindi mo pa nga ako tinatanong kung saan, umayaw ka na agad" she shake her head.I shyly smile at her and bit my lower lip. Ayaw ko talaga sumama sa mga night out, and Dad will surely scold me kapag nalaman niya. He already warned me not to socialize with the people here in Tierra Veloz.Well, he knows that Gia and Axel are my friends, pero hindi niya parin gusto na gabihin ako although si Gia ang kasama ko."Maybe next time?" I whisper trying to lift her mood.

"Hindi na yun lalapit sayo" Alas said confidently making me look at him. "How sure you are?" I whisper. He eyed me seriously and then his gaze went down to my hand that gripping my other hand tightly bago siya nag angat ng tingin sa akin. "Kasi sinabi ko" nakangisi niyang sagot and then he remove his bull cap na hindi ko agad napansin at sinuot sa akin na walang pasabi. My brows creased with what he did at naguguluhan akong tinignan siya but he just shrugged his shoulder while smiling playfully. "Para saan to?" I ask. He chuckle and shake his head "Wala" he look away and I saw him scratch his nape "Ang ganda kasi eh..." he mumble. "What?" I ask. "Sabi ko tara na Binibini, ihahatid na kita sa driver mo" he grinned. I pouted my lips a little and rolled my eyes before I start walking. I heard his low laugh as he follow me from behind which I already expected from him. But I am thankful with what he did, good thing

"How long will Dad stay at Cagayan De Oro?" I can't help to ask Kuya Brandon while he's driving. I know I shouldn't dare to ask such question but I just can't help to be anxious. He's not calling me nor saying anything when will he return. It seems like a deja vu when I was still in Las Vegas. I should get used to it dahil sanay naman akong na wala si Daddy sa tabi ko. But I am expecting since andito na nga ako nakatira sa bahay niya. "You don't have to answer that Kuya Brand..." I take it back and smile faintly before I turn my eyes out of the car window. "Pasensya na hija, may mga bagay kasi na hindi ko pwede ipaliwanag sayo" I look at him and I nod my head "I understand po. I am not asking to seek answers. I just wanted to experience asking anything freely" I honestly utter. Bawal akong mag tanong. That's one of my father's rules. "Pero pauwi na rin yun hija. Huwag ka masyadong mag alala, may mga kasama naman si Señor na umalis. Sig

"Hindi ko gusto maging kaibigan ka lang, Lemonine"I blink my eyes while staring at his serious face. Bigla akong kinabahan sa di malamang dahilan. His expressive set of brown eyes is void with emotions kaya hindi ko sigurado kung anong gusto niyang iparating."W-Why?" I said almost like a whisper.I can't help to flaunt the disappointment on my face. I am disappointed that I consider him as a friend pero hindi naman pala ganon ang tingin niya sa akin."Did I-""Pfftt- Fuck! HAHAHAHAHA" he burst out kaya natagilan ako sa gulat.I stared at him in disbelief while he's laughing so hard na para bang mauubusan na siya ng hininga. I couldn't process it quickly, ramdam ko ang tingin sa amin ng ilang kumakain but my gaze remain at Alas Prian."You're..." I pause "Making fun of me" I said."Tangina" he hissed shaking his head.Mischievous glint is visible in his eyes which made me pouted my lips, shooking my head. He's so mean.

WEEKENDS came so fast and I just found myself on the backseat of the car appreciating the beauty of nature Tierra Veloz offer. This place never failed to amaze me every day because I always find something new every time I go out. It feels like my surrounding always has full of surprises and I'm loving it so much."Sigurado ka ba talagang sasama sa amin hija?" Yaya Rita ask who's sitting at the passenger seat.My gaze shifted to her and I smile brightly."Yes, Nana" I pause and tuck the loose strand of my hair "Don't worry about me, I'm fine. I just really want to go out and ease my boredom" I assure her.Matagal itong tumitig sa akin before she sigh in defeat causing my smile to widen. I glance at Kuya Brandon at napakagat labi ako when I saw him shake his head.I do not want to stay at home. I want my weekends to be productive as much as possible and besides, Dad is not around. My father is the main reason why I agree to live here in Tierra Veloz

'You don't deserve to be a Dela Huerta'Those words are keep on playing inside my head while having dinner with Nana Rita and Kuya Brand. Yeah, my father is not around yet and I wonder even more kung kailan siya balak umuwi."Ayos ka lang hija?" Kuya Brandon ask me.I raise my gaze to him and smile "Ayos lang naman po" I politely reply."Iniisip mo parin ang sinabi nang lalaking yun?" Nana Rita inteject.I tighten my grip on the spoon I'm holding. I wanted to ask her but I know she won't dare to give me answers. Why? Because it's part of the rules. I must not ask unnecessary things and I feel like my question right now is unnecessary."Eline-""Yes," I cut her off although I know that I sound rude "I am bothered that despite everything that I did- no one still recognize me as Dela Huerta. We both know Dad never recognize me as one""Eline"I sigh and shut my eyes close. I am starting to be emotional...I

I am not familiar with all of the Filipino cuisine dahil sa ibang bansa ako lumaki. That's why I am having a hard time to decide which one to order. Everything are look appetizing but I am not quite sure if all of it goes with my preference with food. But anyway, I am not a picky eater."Ano na? Loading ka na dyan" Alas chuckle while standing behind me.Napakamot ako sa pisngi ko. I can feel the lady in front of me waiting for my order. It's embarrassing because I've been standing on my spot right now for about five minutes now.Nag simula akong mamili dahil hinayaan naman ako ni Alas na pumili ng gusto ko. He said that it will be his libre so I will just grab the chance to try something new."What is this" I ask Alas na nakasunod sa bawat lakad ko."Pakbet. Masarap yan"I tilt my head. He's indeed right, it smell delicious for sure masarap din ang lasa niya. And I think I already heard that pakbet to Nana Rita. If I am not mistaken, pakbet

"Gusto mo bang malaman kung bakit?"I blink my eys while staring at him and he is also staring at me with a playful smirk plastered on his face. There's a sudden uncertainty to say 'yes' to him na hindi ko alam kung saan nag mula. Looking at him this close, I realize something that I didn't able to notice before.My lips curved and was about to say something when suddenly a voice of a man interject behind me."Tangina Al! buhay ka pa pala ng ganitong oras?"Napakunot ang noo ko ng bahagya while innocently looking at Alas Prian. He tilt his head before he look at the guy behind me, grinning casually."Gago!" malutong niyang mura that made me bit my lower lip, "Anong tingin mo sa akin? Tangina to," he added laughing.He suddenly held my arm without looking at me and gently pull me beside him to face the guy that he is having a conversation. I press my lips together when I saw a tall guy but not as tall as Alas. He is not familiar to me, but I

I blink my eyes for how many times stunned with what Alas Prian said. I don't know kung paano ko siya dapat intindihin because it seems like he is implying something that he just can't put into words.I just back into my senses when I heard him chuckle."Tangina, baliw na yata ako" he snap brushing his hair using his fingers."Huh?" I tilt my head habang naka angat parin ang tingin sa kanya "You look okay naman ah," I point out with puzzled look on my face.Malakas siyang natawa na kinalaki ng mata ko sa gulat. Instinctively I roam my eyes around and I feel a bit embarrass when I saw those students that are staring the two of us with suspicion in their eyes. Agad akong nag iwas ng tingin at alanganing ngumiti kay Alas Prian nang mapansin kong nakatingin siya sa akin. His eyes is gleaming with playfulness just like the usual teasing me when I did something that he finds funny.What's with him? He's a bit different today. Medyo naguguluhan ako sa mga
