Trouvaille Discovery (T.R.A.V.E.L SERIES # 1)

Chapter 1

---

Freedom. Something that should be free to people, that should be accessible, that everyone should have.

Pero bakit ako, wala non?

I had a dream where I could see myself flying, saving people, helping others. I'm not that type of person, yes I help others but to the point of saving them? No.

I suddenly remembered what I've read in a book where your dreams are being tackled. They believe that your dreams have a connection to your real life.

Stated there, when you dreamed of yourself flying, it means you want freedom.

Pati ba naman sa panaginip ko, naghahangad pa rin ako ng kalayaan?

I sighed.

I barely have that. Growing up in a wealthy family sucks. Or hindi lahat, siguro sa pamilya ko lang. Noong bata pa ako, madalas akong mainggit sa mga kaklase kong simple lang ang buhay, yung nakikita mga mahal nila sa buhay araw araw, yung nararamdaman ang pagmamahal ng isa't isa.

I envy them so much.

My parents? I really don't know. I feel like I'm an asset that they possess. And growing up feeling like I'm just an asset for my parents makes me think that I shouldn't feel any negative emotions towards them or any other emotion, it's not valid.

Well, it's not that it's not valid but is it even validated?

It's like, ano pang sense na maramdaman iyon kung wala namang may pake? Kung hindi naman importante ang nararamdaman ko?

I heard a knock on my door which made me stop with these thoughts. I opened it.

"Miss, ready na po ang agahan niyo. 7 am na po, kailangan niyo na po mag prepare."

"Okay. I'll just get ready."

"Okay, Miss." 

I stood up from my bed and went inside my bathroom.

It's my graduation so I have to start preparing already. How funny, my parents are not even here to celebrate it with me.

Another event without them. Or should I say, another event added on my life that they never showed up. They never did. I don't have a choice but to understand them though. Wala rin namang magagawa kung hindi, diba?

Napabuntong hininga ako bago nag ayos ng sarili. I'm wearing a black simple dress na hindi abot tuhod pero kita ang likod. Then kinuha ko na yung toga at sinabit saking braso. Then I wore my 3 inch black heels. It has silver lines on the side.

I walked downstairs, to the dining area.

I can see the maids are super busy in the kitchen. Hmm, magkakaroon ba ng handaan mamaya? But I don't have any visitors. Di bale, sila sila nalang kumain niyan.

I ate breakfast first before leaving. I used my BMW on my way to school.

Since I'm graduating today, my father will give me another car for sure. It's always his gift every time there's an event. While Mom would give me random stuff, like branded dresses, accessories, shoes, bags, etc.

Hindi nagtagal ay nakarating na ako sa school. I parked my car on the space we bought for ourselves. There are really students here who have their own parking space because our families are one of the stockholders of this school, meaning we have shares and that's our advantage.

Before going out of my car, I fixed myself. I retouched my lipstick and made sure that my hair is still okay. Then sinuot ko na ang toga before going out.

Naglakad ako papuntang gymnasium, since the graduation ceremony will be held there. Everyone looks so happy, they're with their families.

"Hey, Congrats!" Medyo gulat naman akong napatingin kay Chan, well, he's a friend of mine. I think?
