Unbind the Strings

Five

"That's okay! Well atleast we can still prepare for your luggage." She calmly said. "Ilang days kayo ron?"

"Uh...3 days." I hesitantly said.

"Ngi, bitin 'yon. But, okay just update me okay? Let's finish our food so we can go home and prepare for your things." I nodded and started eating my ramen.

We went home safely and mas excited pa 'yung nanay ko sa'kin.

"Hey, is your shampoo in there already? How about the soap? The toothpaste? Your undies?" She was checking every single item in my luggage.

"Ma, don't worry. I have a checklist. I am on track."

"Cathan, take care, ha?" That's your first time. Huwag pasaway and mag bebehave okay? But most importantly, don't forget to enjoy!" She said while closing the zipper of my bag.

"Yes, Ma. I'll call you right away when we arrived there. I'll be back and take care of yourself while I'm gone, okay? Btw, Gab's parents are coming too so you don't have to worry." I gave her a reassured smile.

"Take lots of picture and send it to me, okay?" She said before closing the door of my room.

I sighed deeply as I finished packing my things. I called Gab to tell her I'm ready to leave. She said she'll be here in a few minutes. I went down and told my mom that I'll be leaving in a while.

I heard a beep outside so I think it's already Gab. I kissed my Mom's cheek before leaving the house.

"Take care and enjoy guys!" Bumusina si Gab kay Mommy at nag flying kiss ako habang nag wewave sakanya.

"Are you ready, Cali?" She looked at me and I can see the excitement in her eyes. She was wearing a denim jacket with a white tube inside and an Adidas track pants.

"YES!! I am so ready for this!" I exclaimed.

"Okay, we just have to pick up the kumags and we're good to go. My parents used the family car so, we own this good ride hanggang airport."

I was seating on the passenger seat when we stopped by a white and gray themed house. It was big, but a bit smaller than our house. I saw Neil getting out of the gate.

"HI THERE LADIES!!" he said while removing his shades. He was wearing a blue sweatshirt and a cargo pants. He put his baggage at the back of the car.

"I'm soooo damn excited!" Asaan na 'yung iba?" he asked.

"Wala. Kikidnappin ka namin." I jokingly said.

"Okay lang. I don't mind hehe."

"Gago! Tumahimik ka na nga dyan. Susunduin na namin si Kai!" Gab said.

We stopped outside a yellow gate and Neil went inside to fetch Kai. It took them a couple of minutes before going out. Kai was wearing a striped shirt with ripped jeans and Nike Cortez. Nilagay na rin niya ang kaniyang bagahe sa likod ng sasakyan.

"Yeeeees! Si Jay nalang kulang." Kai said habang sinasarado ang pintuan ng kotse.

"Hindi daw siya makakasama. May emergency." Gab said while looking through her phone. "He texted me, just now." She said while pouting her lips.
