Maaga kaming nagising kasi 'yun ang sabi ni daddy kagabi. Isasama namin sina Manong Ambo, Manang Fe at Kuya Ash, samantalang maiiwan naman yung ibang kasambahay at bagong kapalit ni Uno. Nakapag ligo at nakapag-ayos na ako.
"Excited ah?" Bungad sa akin ni Kuya Jacob na ngayon ay nasa sofa habang hawak ang selpon niya. "Excited mo mukha mo!" Inis ko siyang tiningnan. Busy ang ibang mga kasambahay sa paghakot ng gamit na dadalhin namin.
"Oh, there you are, Reign" Dad smiled when he saw me and immediately came over to me and hugged me. I'm still new to how dad treated me, because before we only met and talked once in a while, he would scold me.. "Jacob, ano pa hinihintay mo?" Dad looked at Kuya who was still busy on his phone.
"Why, dad? Aalis na ba tayo?" I asked, and Dad nodded and turned his back on me, heading straight outside to talk to Manong Ambo. Bakit ang aga naman 'ata ng alis namin?
"Let's go." Ginulo ni Kuya ang buhok ko tsaka tumakbo. "Tangina! humanda ka sa'kin pag nahuli kita." I was about to chase after him but I remembered that my other belongings were still in my room. Especially my cell phone and my beauty products.
"Reign?" Daddy called me. I looked at him "Wait, I forgot my phone, dad" I said and immediately run to my room. Bakit ba sila nagmamadali? Maaga pa naman at wala pang alas dyes. Hindi naman siguro gaano kalayo ang probinsya nila Uno.
"Ang tagal mo!" Kuya rolled his eyes to me. Aba! ginagaya niya na ang pag-uugali ko ah. "Kung tusukin ko 'yang mata mo!" I looked at him annoyed and got into the van. "Tabi tayo" Aniya pero tinulak ko siya palabas kaya napa-atras siya. "Do'n ka sa front seat!" I said angrily, because sometimes this idiot is annoying. "No! Ayaw ko sa front seat, malayo ang byahe natin, Reign" Aniya tsaka akmang papasok nang dumating si mommy.
"Jacob, pagbigyan mo na si Reign" Mom just smiled at him kaya wala ng nagawa si kuya kaya inasar ko siya. "Tabi ka?" kinalabit ko ang braso niya tsaka tumawa. "Tsk!" He ignored me so I laughed even harder. "Stop laughing!" He said it angrily, which made me laugh even more.
"Hays! pikon" lumipat ako sa pinakagilid sa likod ng driver seat tsaka nag selpon, pumasok na rin si Manang Fe, at Mommy. Magkatabi kaming tatlo, sa likod naman namin si Manong Ambo at Kuya Ash, at sa pinaka likod ang mga gamit namin. Sunod naman na pumasok ay si daddy sa driver seat. He will be the driver since he is the only one who has been to Uno's province.
"Maayos lang ba kayo dyan?" Dad asked. Mommy just nodded, dad glanced to kuya "Bakit biyernes santo 'yang pagmumukha mo?" pinaandar na ni dad ang sasakyan. My brother just shook his head and glanced at me. I just laughed at him, kawawang bata.
While traveling, I just listen to music while reading a book. Yes, I brought a book with me, I don't want to get bored during the trip. "Ash" Tawag ni mommy kay kuya Ash. "Yes, ma'am" sagot naman ni kuya Ash. "How long have Keisha and Uno known each other?" tanong ni mommy. I stopped reading but my eyes were still focused on the book. I noticed kuya Jacob looking at me.
"Sa pag-kakaalam ko po, matagal tagal na, simula pa 'ata nong highschool pa si Uno." Sabi ni Kuya Ash, I was just listening to their conversation but I was still looking at the book and pretending to be reading. "Bakit kaya hindi sinabi ni Uno na may girlfriend na siya?" Ramdam ko sa boses ni mommy ang pagtataka. My kung alam mo lang.
"'yun nga rin po ang ipinagtataka ko, nabigla na lang kami na ikakasal na pala siya" Nakisali na rin si Manong Ambo sa usapan. I just listened even though I was annoyed by dad's music.
"Reign?" Kuya Jacob called me. I looked at him, he was smiling and it seemed like his smile meant something. "What." I asked him coldly but he still smiled. Subukan mo akong ilaglag at makikita mo ang hinahanap mo.
