My First Kiss at the Eiffel Tower : Episode 1

Episode 1

[AN: I'm so bipolar talaga...edit nalang ng edit. Hayy naku! But anyway, basahin nyo na lang, k? Enjoy.......... XD]

(Cassy's POV)

Gabing-gabi na but I couldn’t close my eyes. Dapat tulog na ako ngayon kasi may klase ako bukas but still, my eyes were wide open. Kinuha ko na lang yung notebook ko dahil bigla kong naalala ang tungkol sa assignment namin. ‘Tell something about yourself’ raw sabi nung Music Professor namin sa school. Napaka-boring. Para kaming nasa high school. Psh! Buti allowed kaming mag-TagLish. Babasahin lang naman daw nya para makilala nya kami ng husto since bagong hired lang sya. I was worried kasi medyo low ang IQ ko pagdating sa mga grammar-grammar na yan. Pero bahala na.

 
I got my pen ang started writing: My name is Cassy Montefalcon, 18, living in this busy city of Makati, Philippines. I am currently a second year college student of Governor Generoso Academy of Music with concentration in Acoustic Music and Voice Development. My bestfriend is my acoustic guitar which is pink with lots of butterfly stickers in it.
Aside from my guitar, I also have a pair of drumstick because I am also interested in playing drums. Luckily after so much hardwork, nakakapagtugtog na ako ngayon ng alternative songs.

I am a certified daydreamer. No boyfriend since birth. A bit loner. Ulila sa ama. For short, walang happy life. Lagi akong nagkukulong sa kwarto. Besides eating, writing songs, strumming my guitar, at internet or mobile surfing ang mga bagay na nakakapagpasaya sa akin pag nasa bahay lang ako. I don't have friends sa school kaya wala akong social life. Duhh! Napakaboring talaga.But I have my nanny whose a kind of weird yet a happy person at nagkakasundo naman kami.

My mom was always busy. She's always going abroad and her excuses were not all clear to me. That’s why we were not so close because we did not have much bonding moments. This time, she’s in Hong Kong doing some business daw with my grandpa. Oh by the way, my deceased father is a business tycoon born in Hong Kong kaya may pagka chinita itong beauty ko. But di ko dala ang surname nya which is Woon. My mom and him weren’t married:( . Sabi ni mama, isasama raw nya ako dun someday but I don’t want to. Kasi naman meron talaga akong isang lugar na gustung-gusto kong puntahan~

Ang Paris.
 
I have plenty of Eiffel Tower posters in my room and they seem to fill every vacant space of my walls and even my ceiling and study table. It is the trademark of  Paris and I’m so desperate to see it in real life and take lots of pictures of it.
Natigil ako sa pagsulat when my cellphone beeped.

 Reading SMS...

From: Mama
"Hi pretty daughter! Mom here, sori f d muna aq tatawag ha? maxadong bz c mama eh. Anong gusto u pasalubong? I'll be home soon...luv u anak :))"

Delete.

SMS deleted.

Naku naman, si mama talaga parang jejemon na teenager kung makatext, with matching smiley pa pero mali naman. Tsk.  Pambihirang ina. Anyway, kahit ganun yun, mahal ako nun sobra...at lab ko din sya noh! Feeling ko kasi, kami nalang dalawa ang natitirang nagmamahalan dito sa mundo! Kahit na lagi syang wala…

Time check: 10:25 p.m. Anak ng...Hanggang dito na lang siguro ‘tong sinusulat ko. I almost forgot to check the time. Anyway, I have to sleep na kasi class na naman bukas at...Grr. Makikita ko na naman ang nakakairitang mukha ni Andrew!

(-_-)zzZZZ sleep mode.




(AN: Gawa-gawa ko lang po yung name ng school pati course...adik lang kasi talaga sa music eh. Haha...wait for the update. Plz be patient, wag na umangal! Hmmp...PEACE.)



"Kriiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggg!!!!!!"

"Whoahh...uhmmmm........" Buti di ko na nahagis ulit ang alarm clock ko. Dati kasi, lagi akong nagugulat pag tumutunog na 'to. Palibhasa di pa kasi ako sanay nun eh. Pero ngayon, di na. Sanay na sanay na akong gumising na maaga kahit di na ako ginigising ni yaya Abby. Sosyal ng name ng yaya ko noh? "Abyang" talaga yan kaso mas gusto nya Abby kaya go, aura! Pinagbigyan ko na lang.

"Cassy!" Ayun tinawag na nga nya ako. American na ba ngayon si yaya? Naiba yata accent nya? Yun siguro napala nya sa kaka-chat ng foreigner sa internet. Binigyan kasi sya ni mama ng sariling laptop para di raw sya ma-bored dito sa bahay. Ang sosyal talaga.

"Bababa na po..." Sinuklay ko muna ang long hair ko bago ako lumabas sa kwarto. Ganito ako every morning kaya siguro maganda at manageable itong buhok ko.
Pagkababa ko, dumiritso agad ako sa dining room. Umupo ako, itinaas ang kanang paa at~


Pak!!

"Aray ko yaya! Anu ba naman yan..." She hit my leg with a walis tambo. Ayaw nya kasi ng ganun. Wala raw good manners. Eh mas comfortable kasi ako. Pero baka paluin na naman nya ako nito kaya ibinaba ko nalang ang flawless kong legs. :D

I grabbed my favorite omelet with cheese. Mabilis ko itong naubos. Masarap kasi magluto si yaya Abby ng omelet compared kay mama eh. Haha shhh! Atin-atin lang 'to ah.
Tapos inabot ko yung milk ko at kinain na rin pati yung sandwich na hinanda ni yaya for herself.

"Yaya akin na lang 'to ah?" sabi ko with matching pout and pa-cute.

"Cassy naman...takaw mo pero di ka parin tumataba. Sige sayo na yan!" Wheew ang bait talaga ni yaya. Mabilis ko namang inubos ang sandwich saka nagpunta sa banyo para maligo, mag-toothbrush, etc...

Then done.

"Yaya papasok na po ako..." I get the keys of my car. After yaya said "ingat" to me, I immediately drive going to school.

While driving, I put on my white earphone and then listen to one of Hey Monday's acoustic song -- "6 Months".

[NP:
You're the direction I follow to get home
When I feel like I can't go on, you tell me to go
And it's like I can't feel a thing without you around
And don't mind me if I get weak in the knees
'Cause you have that effect on me, you do.

Chorus:
Everything you say, everytime we kiss i can't think straight, but I'm okay. I can't think of anybody else whom I hate to miss, as much as I hate missing you.]


Emotera. Di pa naman ako nakafeel ng ganitong feelings eversince eh. But i really love to sing this. Kaya ko kasi ang high pitch kaya bagay sa akin lahat ng songs ng Hey Monday.


[Months going strong now, and no goodbye. Unconditional, unoriginal...Always by my side. Meant to be together, meant for no one but each other. You love me, I love you harder so.

Chorus:
Everything you say, everytime we kiss i can't think straight, but I'm okay. I can't think of anybody else whom I hate to miss, as much as I hate missing you.
So please, give me a hint
So please, give me a lesson on how to steal, steal a heart
As fast as you stole mine, as you stole mine

Oh and everything you say
Every time we kiss, I can't think straight
But I'm okay
And I can't think of anybody else
Who I hate to miss as much as I hate missing you]


Lagi ko itong kinakanta pag nag-e-emote ako. Ganda kasi ng lyrics. Gustung-gusto ko rin ang banda nila at mas lalo ko pa silang nagustuhan dahil halos magkapareho kami ng name ng vocalist -- Cassadee. :-)

At andito na nga ako sa most popular academy of this country...

Wearing my above-the-knee black and white dress paired with silver flat doll shoes with a ribbon in it, agaw attention agad ako pagkababa ko pa lang sa kotse ko. Panu kasi, dumating na ang goddess ng academy. Echus! Kapal rin ng mukha ko noh? Well, maganda naman talaga ako. Sa slender figure ko, alam kong marami ang nagkakagusto sakin. Sa boses ko pang undeniably good, maiinlove talaga sila. Naks!

But the problem is, ayoko munang mag-bf. Ewan ko ba. Di ko lang talaga feel. Ni wala nga akong kaibigan dito, boyfriend pa kaya? Di naman sa namimili ako, kaso parang di pa lang talaga ako ready for that matter.

"Hi Cassy!" And here comes Andrew. My longtime admirer. Gwapo, sikat, mayaman.............makulit, sobrang kulit! How many times I told him to stop following me pero eto, andito na naman sya sunod ng sunod sakin.

"Andrew naman, kailan ka pa ba titigil ha?" malumanay naman ang boses ko pagkasabi nito sa kanya.

"Eh...gusto ko lang naman samahan ka," May pa-cute effect pa syang nalalaman. Hmf!

"I don't need a companion, okay?" Tuloy lang ako sa paglalakad.

"Ako na magdala nyang books mo...pati yang bag mo...pati..."

"Ano? Pati ako? Bubuhatin mo rin, ganun? Andrew naman...It's fine with me kahit wala akong kasama. Mas peaceful yun."

"Pero Cass..."

"I'm fine...Just leave me. Please?"

At yun nga, ang bilis kong naglakad. Kawawa much ang mukha nya. Iniwan ko talaga. Ayoko sa masyadong annoying na tao. Parang nabasted ng paulit-ulit pero hindi ko talaga maintindihan kung bakit di pa rin sya tumitigil sa pagkakagusto nya sakin. Eh di naman ako nagpapakita ng kahit konting signs na gusto ko rin sya. Nasanay lang siguro ako na palaging nag-iisa.

After the class, i went to the school garden. Maganda ang landscape dito. Presko ang hangin saka wala masyadong tumatambay. Inilabas ko yung gitara ko sa case nya which is palagi kong dala everywhere I go. Strum...Strum...Strum... I practice some new songs na acoustic para di ako ma-bored. Suddenly...

"Kriing...Kriing..." 

Calling: Mama
"Uy himala!" I picked up my phone agad...excited eh. :D

"Hello ma? Napatawag ka?"

"Hi dear anak! Sunduin mo ako sa airport mamayang 3pm ha? And guess what, i have good news for you..." Good news? Wow anu kaya yun? Super excited pa si mama.

"Talaga ma? Okay okay. Susunduin kita... But tell me the good news first," Aba syempre excited din ako kung ano yun noh!

"I'll tell you later anak...wag masyado ma-excite, okay?"

"Mama naman eh...sige na nga. Payn!" Sumimangot ako bigla.

"Basta 3pm ha? See you later pretty daughter...Bye."

"Opo...Bye."

Call ended.

Wow si mama merong good news. I don't know pero sobra talaga akong kinabahan na na-excite na ewan! Hayyzzttt. Sana 3pm na.




3:25 pm, at the airport.

"Hayyy ang tagal..." Nakaupo lang ako dito. As usual, listening music.


Andito na si mama. Nakikita ko na sya from a short distance. Wow parang di ko mama talaga. Ang ganda-ganda pa rin. Super sexy parang ate ko lang. Kaka-insecure. LOL!
She immediately hug and kiss me. "I missed you anak!

"Ma naman...stop treating me as a baby, okay? Ang laki ko na. But anyway, I missed you too."

"So, paki mo ba kung baby pa rin turing ko sayo? Hmf! Oh sya sya, uwi na nga tayo. May pag-uusapan pa tayo sa bahay."

At na-excite pa ako lalo. Oh my...sana nga...sana nga...sana matupad na...
~

Kung nagtataka kayo bakit ganito kami ka-close bigla...Ay naku! ngayon lang 'to. Actually, two months din syang nawala sa paningin ko kaya ngayon, ganito kami ka-close bigla. Kahit wala kaming bonding moments masyado, pinaparamdam naman namin sa isa't isa na mahal na mahal namin ang isa't isa. Pagkatapos nito, siguradong aalis na naman si mama at ewan kung saang lupalop na naman sya pupunta.


Sa bahay, after dinner.

Andito kami sa sofa. Since curious na curious na talaga ako~

"Ma, yung good news~"

"Cassy..." Wow di pa ako pinatapos ah. "Do you want to..." Inantay ko yung karugtong ng sasabihin nya.

...go with me in Paris?" ^_^ At nag-smile sya sakin.

O_O !!! Eyes wide open.

Shocked!

"Oh bakit di ka nagsasalita dyan? Ayaw mo ba?"

Bigla na lang ako napatili. "Kyaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Napatakip-teynga si mama."Jusmio! Boses mo Cassy!"

"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you po ma!!!" I hugged her tightly. Oh my God! Dream come true na ba ito??? "Syempre gustung-gusto ko poh!!!"

^___________________________^ Smile ko.





(Mommy Sandra's POV)
Si Cassy...sobrang mahal ko talaga. She's my one and only princess. Alam ko talagang pangarap nyang makapunta sa Paris. And because I know that I'm the only person na makakapagpatupad nun, I granted her wish.
Seeing photos of Eiffel Tower in her room made me ponder that she really wished to be in that place. Wala kaming bonding moments. Siguro kapag isasama ko sya dun, yun na yung pinakamasayang bonding moment naming dalawa.
After telling her about going to Paris together, nakita ko talaga ang sobrang tuwa sa mga mata nya. Next week, ipa-process ko na ang mga requirements for her passport. Tamang-tama, dun na kami magpapasko sa December. November pa lang kasi ngayon at magbabayad na lang ako ng malaking halaga para mapabilis ang pag-process ng visa.
