Hiding The Billionaire's Son (COMPLETED)

SPECIAL CHAPTER

LILAC YSNIELA RAMMAZZOTI

"Sasali ka pa sa susunod na competition?" Nilingon ko si Nadia sa likod ko at marahang umiling. "Midterm exam namin. Sayang nga eh." She pouted and looked behind me as if someone was right behind me. "A-ah wag kanang lumingon!" Pigil nito ng lilingon na sana ako sa likod, but it was too late. I saw it with my two eyes, Gerome and his new girlfriend. I smiled bitterly and looked at Nadia. "Oh, you think I haven't moved on?"

Her face softened as she stared back at me. "Well, you loved him that much, and you just broke up..." Umiling ako at ngumiti. I stood up and fixed my things. "Tara na, sa bahay kana mag dinner mommy will be glad!" I invited her. Mommy loves my friends so much, just how she loves me and my siblings. "Speaking of tita. Alam ba n'ya?" I nodded. Mom was there when I cried for about 5 seconds? I chuckled.

I don't know, I mean, I loved him so much but when the two of us broke up? I didn't really know what to damn feel! I mean Gerome was my childhood friend. We grew up together with kuya and Violet. I loved him, and it hurt the part of me. "You seem so fine with it, tho?"

"You know what, Nads. Let's just gooo masarap ang ulam today!" I said and grabbed her out of the school. "Mang Raul!" I waved my hands when I saw a familiar SUV nearing. It stopped in front of us, and I happily went inside when it opened automatically. "Hello po kuya! Sila Violet?" Masayang ngumiti naman ito. "Naku ay nasa fieldtrip, hindi mo alam?" Oh, oo nga pala, she is out to capture beautiful sceneries. "Oh yes! I just remembered."

"Good afternoon, mang Raul!" Nadia greeted.

"Sila Mama po?" Tanong ko muli. "Ah, si ma'am Samantha nasa cavite. Si sir Eros naman nasa San pascual batangas sila ng kuya mo para daw mag golf." I nodded again. But I thought Mama would cook for us? Hayst. How lonely. "Ah, sya nga pala pinag luto ka ng Mama mo ng masarap na adobo! I reheat mo na lang daw at yon nga hindi sya makaka sabay sayo sa dinner at may bigla project visit sya banda sa cavite." Tumango na lang ako at sumandal sa car seat.

"As always. Anyways I have Nadia with me, naman, so it's okay. I guess."

When I was a kid, I wanted to grow fast to decide for my own. But as I got older, I realized I wanted to stay as a child. No problems, no heartaches, and no pain. I wanted my parents' attention back. Each of my siblings has their own lives now, bawat isa sa amin may kanya kanya ng pangarap na sinusundan. Kuya Damian wants to pursue architecture, gusto n'yang sumunod sa yapak ni Mama. Violet wants to be a professional photographer and a lawyer. While our dear sister wants to be anything. And here I am, lost.

I was an adventurous kid, I loved surfing, I love travelling, and I love challenging activities. But then, one day, I found myself losing everything slowly. I wasn't able to love the things I used to love before. I don't understand. "Hey, are you okay?" I flinched when Nadia snapped her fingers. "Oh, sorry, what?" She pouted and rolled her eyes on me. "You're not okay, eh, kanina pa. What's up?" I sighed. "I am fine, Nads. I think I am just so tired." She then nodded. She knows how secretive I am, so she didn't push through it anymore.

"Oh sya sige, my driver is outside na eh." I smiled and kissed her goodbye. Hinatid ko na lang to palabas at pumasok na rin ako para mag review. "So tahimik ng bahay!!" I miss my sissies and kuya. Kellilah naman is in mamita's care. I went upstairs to get myself locked up and review for our upcoming exam.

I woke up from a knock on my door. Oh geez! I feel so heavy! Buti na lang at sabado na ngayon at baka na late na ako. Antok na tumayo naman ako sa pagkaka upo—yes I fell asleep while reviewing my subjects. I opened the door and was shocked to see Gerome in front. Tumalikod muna ako at pumasok sa banyo para mag hilamos manlang. Pag balik ko naka upo na sya sa kama ko at naka tingin sa study table ko.
