Behind Those Eyes (FreenBecky)

The groom

The town of Limpao is one of the biggest sources of Sentro Rurok when it comes to agriculture. Their main products are rice, corn and sugarcane. There is a well-known family in this town. With the extent of their plantations, the luxury of their lives cannot be denied. They are also known for being good citizens of Limpao.

Sebastian Eldinore, the father of the family. He runs a large plantation in the town of Limpao. He is six feet tall. He has round and deep eyes and a has a dark complexion. Her wife is also kind and a loving mother. They have a children. The older is in Manila because he is a nurse there. The youngest is a girl and is now in highschool.

"Is there any other way, Mi?" I asked when we got out of the car. We are in the town of Limpao, but I never thought that it would be like this before reaching the Eldinores' house. Their house can be seen from where we are standing. Pero kailangan pa namin daanan ang mga palayan bago makarating sa bahay nila.

                      

"There's no other way, anak. So let's go para makarating kaagad tayo." Sagot ni Mi pagkatapos niyang kunin ang shoulder bag sa sasakyan. Nauna siya sa akin sa maputik at malagkit na daan. One way lang ang daan. Kapag nalingat o nadulas kami ay siguradong sa maputik na palayan ang bagsak namin.

What the f*ck is this place! Naiinis kong bulong sa sarili.

"I really can't take the boredom anymore." I complained to Heidi and Yuki. They went here in Limpao because I asked them to follow me here. Fortunately, they were in the other town so they got here quickly.

"Then why did you come here?" Yuki asked. She was also complaining about the road they took to get to the Eldinores' house.

"I don't want to but there's nothing I can do." I looked out the window while frowning. I've only been here for a day but I can already feel the boredom. Unlike my two friends who grew up here, they are used to this environment.

"It's nice here." Heidi answered while observing the antiques that were here. From the chandelier, wall clock, queen size bed, etc.

"Still, I don't want to be here. Like now, iniwan nila ako rito kasama ng mga bodyguards sa ibaba." Himutok ko. May inaasikaso si Dada kasama si Mr.Eldinore sa munisipyo ng Limpao samantalang si Mi at ang may bahay na Eldinore ay nasa isang feeding program sa isang public school.

"I thought may anak sila?" Tanong ni Yuki pagkatapos nitong ayusin ang mga gamit nito.

"They're not here. Mamayang gabi pa ang uwi nu'ng isa. 'Yung isa naman ay nasa school pa siguro." Sagot ko. How did I know it? Well, I have ears. Duh!

"Wow! May cliff pala rito?" Amaze na react ni Heidi nang matanaw ang cliff ilang distansya ang layo sa amin. Madali talaga siyang maka appreciate ng mga bagay-bagay. At sobra rin ang curiousity niya. Kulang na lang maging researcher siya.

"Isn't it obvious, Di?" I rolled my eyes na binalewala lamang niya. Alam naman nito na minsan ay sarcastic talaga ako.

"Pwede kaya tayong pumunta 'don?" Tanong pa niya. See?

"I don't know and I don't have a plan to." Tumalikod ako sa bintana, sumandal saka humalikipkip. Hindi ako ganoon mahilig sa nature though nakaka appreciate rin naman ako.

"Killjoy!" Kantyaw pa niya.

" 'D ba, gusto mong alisin 'yang boredom mo? So, let's try it." Paghihikayat pa ni Yuki na mukhang gusto rin puntahan ang kagubatang iyon.
