Back And Forth

Chapter 2

Trees.

Chickens.

Goats.

Cows.

Wheat plants and rice plants.

A corn plantation.

Where the fuck are we?

Pilipinas ba 'to?!

I imagined buildings, lots of buildings!

"Lei, where are we?!"

"Adlem, dad's hometown."

"What?! I thought we're staying in Manila?!"

"Says who?" Lei said with a raising brows. She even rolled her eyes on me!

What a bloody f*cker! This can't be happening!

I looked at my outfit. I'm wearing a blue cropped top with a cropped leather jacket, a ripped black jeans and a black Valentino sandals!

All of them were wearing t-shirts, pants and a plain rubber shoes!

Pawisan na ako! Malakas ang hangin, mula sa labas ng sasakyan, but because of my outfit, goodness, para na akong naligo!

There's a mansion starting to be seen. Yes, mansion. As big as our home in London. Don't tell me we own this one?

The moment we arrived at the said mansion, bumaba na ang lahat sa kotse.

A man and a woman were standing in front of their luxurious door, as if they're waiting for us.

Damn the exteriors are too grand! I always dreamed of designing something like this!

Since we arrived here in the Philippines this is the very first thing to caught my attention. I wonder how the interiors of this mansion would look like.

"Welcome back, Christopher, Chordilla! Sila na ang mga anak niyo? Hindi ako nagkamali, mala-dyosa ang magiging itsura ng anak niyo. Not to mention that they're all girls."

The man, which I think mas matanda lang ng onti kay Dad, greeted my parents.

"Thanks for having us here in your abode, Christian. Lilipat din kami mamaya sa bahay after our lunch."

"You can even stay here if you want. There's enough room for all of you." Offered by the said Christian.

"Nako, kumpare hindi na."

"Come in, pasok kayo." The woman welcomed us and lead the way to their sala, and I admit, kahit mukhang matanda na sila, gwapo at maganda pa din, not to mention that they looked like a lovely couple. And both of them were wearing a semi-formal attire.

The house looks really perfect. The interiors are perfectly matched, every single decoration they have looks superb, every appliances were perfectly set. Figurines look bomb!

Oh goodness. Wala akong masabi. Nanliit ako bigla! I wonder how rich they are!

I was removing my jacket when my dad spoke, "By the way, ayan na ba ang panganay mo?" I can sense the excitement in my father's voice. I looked around and see no one aside from the maids.

"He looks ravishing for a teenager, Christian. How old is he again?" My mom complimenting the said son.

"Ah, yes, yes! I want you to meet Jan. He's turning 21 by August." And he pointed his son, who's now walking down their grand staircase, "Come here, son. Introduce yourself."
