OBSESSION II - (Bechloe-Short-Story)

OBSESSION#1

When passion meets inspiration, an obsession is born.

Chloe's never been in a travel before and she's striving hard for it. She's dying to do it alone which gives her motivation to work.

She's been in a road trip before but she's with her boyfriend (ex) and that's the most memorable road trip she wanted to forget immediately that's why she's doing her best to earn a lot of money for a month of vacation. Most of her travel destination was just around New York and back to LA then New York again. It's either she's with her parents or with friends which sucks.

Being alone is like refreshing the things you wanted to discover about yourself. You can't do that with anyone, you can just do that by yourself.

And while doing that, she need to travel farther than she did last year.

Which is Philippines.

Specifically in Palawan where beautiful beaches are there.

She never been there before and a lot of her friends are suggesting it.

She just realized that people there has a different languages when she came there. They can speak English but not as fluent as her.

She felt like a celebrity because she's getting a lot of attention from the people there and it's so good for her.

For now, she's just finding an apartment to stay for a montj then she will go back to New York again to continue her life there.

It's early so, she went to a coffee shop to feed herself.

"Hi ma'am, what's your order?" A woman in dress code asked politely as she smiled back at her. She's a Filipina.

"Hello, um. One frappe, pasta and that cute sandwich please." Chloe said to the woman named Cassey on her name tag.

"Right away." Cassey smiled and began to write her order.

Chloe went to the table next to a window and sat herself there, she could see people and car passing by. She smiled as she saw a woman helping a kid who seems lost in direction. She seems like American because of her pale skin and eye color which different to the others coz Filipinos are tanned and had a brown eyes. She believe that those genuine moments are in need to keep in memory so she took her Polaroid and took a photo of them.

She shook the film paper as soon as it get out.

The genuine woman helping a kid is such a beautiful reason to believe in humanity.

She smiled and put it inside her bag.

She tried to look outside for a moment but the woman and kid was out of her sight already so she just focused herself to the counter.

Her day was awesome, she took a lot of photo. Especially the nature which she always wonder why some people intentionally ruining it.

That night, she explored a beautiful beach and she saw a party-like that has not much people in there except foods and music. It's near the beach. It has bartender, fire dancers, bon fire, tables and chairs, pop music of course but it's not that crowded, people are wearing swimwears and she felt like she wasn't belong by how she dressed up already. She's wearing a flannel, shorts and boots.

You can really tell she's a tourist.

Apart from that, it's like a party but few people came.

Which is nice.

She took off her eye glasses to put her Polaroid on her eyes when she saw a woman looking directly at the camera. She frowned. She looked at her and noticed that she seems familiar.
