Maybe, One Day (The Six Ladies Series #1)

Kabanata 24

The day before the field trip is Sunday, medyo nagkagulo pa sa bahay dahil pinipilit ako nina mama at papa na pumunta but, my instincts would say no and the last time that I didn't trust my instincts made me a mess.

"I said no, mama." I sighed. She's here at my room, may dala siyang maleta na walang laman.

"Anak, you'll be graduating soon. Sayang naman." umupo si mama sa aking tabi. I was laying on my bed and playing games.

"Mama, may prom pa naman e." I sighed.

"Kahit na, magkaiba ang field trip sa prom." mom frowned. "Anak, please."

I sighed and faced her. Napaisip agad ako sa mga possibleng mangyari habang nasa field trip. It's okay naman if papayag ako pero may kakaibang feeling ako sa field trip na 'yan.

"Whatever, ma." 'yan na lamang ang sinabi ko and it made my mom smiled ear to ear.

"I'll pack your things na agad." she said excitedly and placed the suitcase on my bed, she opened it at dumiretso sa closet ko.

"You'll stay at the resort diba?" tanong ni mama. I just nooded at her. "I'll pack your swimsuit."

"Ma, we're not there to have fun."

"But at least you should prepare, malay mo biglang magyaya 'yang mga kaibigan mo." she smiled. "How's Elaine pala? Hindi na siya nagsle-sleep over sa bahay na'tin."

"She's fine, ma." I sighed and shifted the topic. "One week pala 'yong field trip."

"You need to pack extra clothes then." ani mama. "Get up, anak. Hindi naman pwede na ako lang ang mage-empake ng gamit mo."

Dahil sa sinabi ni mama ay umupo ako ng tuwid at nilagay sa loob ng suitcase ang mga damit na binibigay ni mama sa akin. After packing my things, lumabas na din naman si mama na may ngiti sa kanyang mukha. She's probably happy dahil success ang pagpipilit niya sa akin.

I sighed and placed the suitcase beside my bed. I stared at it for a while then my heart started to beat fast. Iba talaga ang nararamdaman ko sa field trip na 'to. My phone rang kaya agad ko naman sinagot 'yon.

"Hey, Keith Ian." I laughed.

"Stop calling me that." he scoffed. "You goin' on the field trip?"

"Oo, pinilit ako ni mama e. How about you, Keith?"

"Isa pang Keith mo d'yan. I'm going din naman."

"Tumawag ka para malaman kung pupunta ako? You missed me siguro no?"
