Bella Mirae

Masaya kong tinignan ang mga taong naglalakad sa labas ng coffee shop. I smiled. Hindi pa masyadong mataas ang sikat ng araw dahil 8 am pa lang ng umaga. Masarap ang simoy ng hangin dahil maraming puno. Finally, after 8 years I got the chance to go back home.

A petite woman with a bob cut hair entered through the door and her gape found me. I smiled and joyfully waive my hand at her.

She marched towards me

"Hi Zoe..I missed you!," I stood up at yayakapin ko na sana siya pero tinaas niya ang dalawa niyang kamay para mapigilan ako.

"What's this? Why are you here, Bella Mirae!?," I rolled my eyes and I gestured her to take a seat.

"Calm down, Zoe. Pwede bang kumustahin mo muna ako bago sermunan?.."

She raised her eyebrow, "Tell me something I don't know,"

"I'm not a kid anymore. I'm here to finally be independent. So, napagdesisyunan kong maglayas..,"

"WHAT?! Are you really sure?! This is unbelievable! ," my friend almost drop her cup of coffee.

"Yeah, I'm super sure so please help me okay!," I just smiled at her

"Bella, are you crazy? Sigurado ka bang kaya mong panindigan ang paglayas mo? You're out of your beautiful mind! You treat this situation lightly!," umiling iling pa siya

"Zoe naman eh, kanina ko pa nga sinasabi sayo diba. You're not listening kasi! I just did! Lumayas na ako sa amin at ngayon nandito na ako sa Pilipinas! ," I sighed

"No Bella, I seriously can't figure this out. You are an heiress at dapat nasa New York ka ngayon. Paano na lang ang Auntie at Uncle mo? They will surely freak out pag nalaman nilang lumayas ka. They will track you down, kaya my friend, please lang..bumalik ka na sa New York "

I can't believe this! I thought my bestfriend will understand me. I made a sad face.

"Zoe, I can't go back! I need to do this. I need to stand for myself. Ayoko na habang buhay na lang nilang didiktahan ang buhay ko. I need my freedom. " I held her hand.

"No Bella, I'm not gonna help you this time. You are not safe here. Paano na lang kung malaman nilang ikaw si Bella Mirae Laurel Montez ,"

I gawk at her.

"Zoe, please. I can do this if you will stop blocking me. I need you. Mayrooon akong plano. I just need 3o days to execute my plans. Kapag hindi ako nag-succeed, fine! Babalik na ako ng New York. Please, I just need you right now. I'm 22 now and it feels like it is my time to finally get out of the shadow of my family. I wanted to prove my worth, " tinignan ko siya with a pleading look.

Cross fingers. Please pumayag ka..
