Nathalia's POV

Now is our sembreak and this is what all the students are looking forward to and of course I am one of those who are waiting.

May inaabangan din kasi ako tuwing sembreak. Dahil tuwing sembreak ay pumupunta ako kila Lola sa probinsya. Ilang months na rin simula nang makapunta ako doon sa kanila.

Ang kuya Nathan ko lamang ang kasama kong pumunta kila Lola. Si ate Nathalie kasi at kuya Nathaniel ay busy sa kanilang trabaho kaya naman hindi sila makakasama. Pero nakakapunta naman sila doon kapag may time sila. Hindi ngalang kami sabay sabay na apat.

"Nathalia and Nathan kunin niyo na yung mga dadalhin niyo at nandyan na ang maghahatid sa inyo." pagmamadali sa amin ni Mommy.

We went out of the house, my older brother and I each carrying a suitcase. We will just stay their for one week, today is Saturday and we will come back home next Saturday. We only had a sembreak for one week.

"Nathan, watch your sister there, pag may nangyaring hindi maganda sa kanya na wag naman sana, malalagot ka sa akin." bilin ni Dad kay Kuya Nathan.

"Noted, Dad." sagot naman ni Kuya Nathan.

"Good." sabi ni Dad bago bumaling sa akin "At ikaw naman Nathalia, wag kang sakit sa ulo ah? Baka mag-ayang umuwi ang kuya mo." bilin din sakin.

"Roger." nag salute pa ako kay Dad na ikinatawa nila.

"Kayong dalawa ha? Umayos kayo doon. Wag niyong bibigyan ng sakit sa ulo ang Lola at Lolo niyo." bilin din ni Mommy. Sabay naman kaming tumango ng Kuya ko.

Yung Lola namin ay Mama ni Mommy. So bali napadpad lang dito si Mommy dahil napangasawa niya si Dad.

Mommy wanted to live in the province, but their workplace was closer here so they chose to live here in Manila. So whenever we have an opportunity like today we visit there.

I'm sure Grandpa and Grandma will be happy when they see us again. As well as our cousins ​​and our friends their.

We received a few more orders from Mom and Dad before we boarded the car that would take us to province.

During the ride, I just slept so that when we arrived there I would not be drowsy and so that I would have more time to talk or bond with our cousins ​​and friends there.

I woke up when someone tapping me on the cheek. It was just weak but enough to wake me up.

"Nathalia we're here." he wisphered.

I nodded and stretched my body before we went outside the car together.

Pagkalabas mismo namin ay nakita ko sila Lola at Lolo na nag aabang sa harap ng bahay nila. Maybe Mom informed them that we will visit them. While they were smiling, they greeted us with a hug.

"Kamusta ang maganda at pogi kong apo?" tanong ni Lola.

"Heto, pogi parin ako, Lola." sagot naman ni Kuya. We just laughed.

"Well nagsasabi ka naman ng totoo." sabi naman ni Lolo.

"Ikaw, Nathalia?" tanong ni Lola.

"Okay lang naman po, Lola." nakangiti kong sagot.

"May nobyo ka na ba?" biglang tanong ni Lolo.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit at kung papaanong biglang pumasok sa isip ko si Adrian. 'What the hell am I thinking?'

"W-wala po, Lolo."
