Sebastian Lee | CATASTROPHIC SERIES 1 [Completed]

Chapter 22

Carleigh Jade Revaz

"So this is the reason why you came here huh?" I said to Sebastian while looking around the construction area. Nagpapahinga kami ngayon dito sa ilalim ng puno and the view from here is just really great to notice how perfect the place is for an orphanage. It's so close to nature. Madaming puno at malawak ang playground. For sure, a lot of children will be really happy soon.

"You can say, one of my reasons."

"One of your reasons? So you have a lot of reasons why you moved all by yourself here?"

"Maybe." He just said and he slightly wipe my face. I'm sweating because it's so hot. Tirik na tirik ang araw pero di ko magawang mainis at magreklamo dahil kasama ko si Sebastian. He is taking care of me very well. Hinayaan ko lang sya sa ginagawa nya na pagpunas sa mukha ko.

"Bakit ganyan lagi ang mga sagot mo? Ang gulo at masyadong malabo?" Natatawang sabi ko sa kanya pero nginitian nya lang ako saka sya sumandal sa may puno sa likod namin at pinanood nya ang construction. He has a smile on his face and I don't know when I am going to be used about it.

"You're smiling from ear to ear. Para namang dream house mo na ang ginagawang 'to."

"It's really a dream house Carleigh. A dream house for a lot of homeless childrens out there. I can't wait to see them actually." He said sincerely. Base on his appearance, I can't say that he has a side like this. For me he looks more arrogant, cold and always quiet. Parang wala syang pakialam sa mundo but looking at him right now? I know, he is giving all his heart on this project for childrens.

Lalo ko syang nagugustuhan araw araw.

"Pero sa dami ng lugar, bakit dito mo pa napiling magtayo nito? Pwede namang sa sarili nyong bansa?"

"It's because my heart is resting here. Bakit pa ako pupunta sa malayo?" He said and then look at me. I smiled at him.

"You never failed to surprise me everytime you're with me. I didn't expect na may ganito ka talagang side."

"If you just know, you're the one who changed me from the very beginning. I am not this talkative before. I am not this open and sincere before. Myself always comes first to me. My mind always occupies selfish thoughts. Actually even me, I didn't expect that I will found that myself on this kind of situation....with you." Parang hindi makapaniwala na sabi nya sa akin. So I am right at my first impression. He's not like this before. But I'm glad that I made him like this.

"I wish I can change myself too the way I changed you to be a better person."

"You don't have to change. I love you for who you are." Bahagya akong natawa sa sinabi nya. I know he's saying this to me because he loves me.

"I know but the way others look at me? Alam ko naman na spoiled brat lang ang tingin ng lahat sa akin. Bully at masungit na tao. A judgemental person and a woman with bad attitude. Walang pakialam sa iba at ang gusto ko lang ang palaging nasusunod. And I understand why they look at me like that." I said sarcastically laugh. Honestly, wala naman talaga akong pakialam sa sasabihin ng iba not until I found Sebastian. At first the only important thing to me is for me to do anything I want, hindi ko lang alam kung bakit naiisip ko ngayon ang mga bagay na ito.

"We can't please everyone around us Carleigh. Just be yourself. If you really want to change yourself, don't change just because you're worried about what others might think about you. Change because you want to and it's where you are going to be comfortable and happy. Always remember that." Pagpapagaan nya ng loob ko kaya napangiti na lang ako sa kanya.
