Los Angeles California is giving me the vibe of calmness and peace wherever I go and what place I chose to visit. Lights from the lanterns in the street are colorful and beautiful, while the dark skies of the night are at peace.
I'm inside the car right now with Ramon and Andrea, they'll be going with me. Well, supposed to be, but then Andrea receives a call from her family that there is an emergency. That's why I need her to drop by the bus stop to catch a bus back to their place.
Which is way far from the city and only the bus could go to her place since I'm also in a hurry to catch the dinner that my family planned to have for tonight. She was supposed to be going with us but like I've said she got an emergency that's why Ramon and I can only go to dinner.
The whole view of our street is quite at peace and still the same as it was before. I was a kid when I played along with those children who lived in this village. But I never tried going to their houses because my parents are always strict with me and I don't hate them for being like that.
It's their way of giving me discipline and always teaching all the deeds they want me to and I always obey those. I never tried to disobey all of their rules and even the things that they want for me. I always agree with those so there will be no arguments after.
Mom is the best mother in the universe and so as my dad is the best father of the whole earth nation. (Laughed)
They were supportive when I chose to pick modeling and for once in my life, I didn't hear something bad that came from my parent's mouths. I always hear them telling good things about me and saying that they are both proud of what I am right now and what I become because of the hard work I did in my whole life.
Even my mom's co models always tell me about how lucky my parents are to have me as their little princess and also a model like them. Whenever I hear them telling me those, I always laugh and smile shyly because I never hear others telling me like that.
"You can park the car outside, mom won't sleep in here so I won't sleep in here too," I mumbled and stop Ramon from parking the car in our large garage.
"Are you sure?" He asked once.
"Yeah, let's get out so we can greet them a good evening. I also don't want to stay for long in here, after the dinner I w—,"
"Marico, enough. I know everything so you don't have to explain, fix yourself so we can go inside." Ramon muttered as he smiled at me before facing the gate of my grandma's house.
It is as big as my mom's house is but it doesn't feel like home for her and for me too. Even dad doesn't feel himself being fit in this family on my mother's side but I always make him comfortable whenever we are invited to have dinner.
"You are still mad at your grandmother?" Ramon suddenly asked while I'm busy fixing my messy hair.
I smiled a bit and shook my head because his question was wrong for the first time he asked me about my family. This is the first time he asked something wrong but it's a bit closer to the main reason why I am not that too close to this family on my mother's side.
"Tsk, you ask me something wrong. The reason why I don't like it here is that I am not that close to this family, I grew up with my dad's side and nothing else." I answered and winked at him before putting back the comb in my bag.
"Let's go, I might be looking for me already," I uttered as he grabbed all the food that I ordered in the restaurant for my grandmother and for the whole family too.
My cousin is also here and I expect the model that I saw earlier would be here because she's one of the daughters of my uncle. Oh oh, I almost forgot that that woman isn't a pure child of his because he doesn't marry the mother of the woman.
We walked inside the gate and saw the maids still busy preparing all the lanterns in the garden and the hanging plants that had lights too. Grandma is such a plant and mom isn't like her because her passion is modeling and not planting flowers.
I smiled when I saw the family picture in front of the main door. It was put inside the house. As you step inside my grandma's home you will notice the beautiful pictures of our family. It looks so happy, we look so happy and complete but we never become that happy with each other and together.
"Marcio!" I heard someone calling from behind which made me turn around.
"Mom!" I called and ran to her for a tight hug.
"Oh my god, my beautiful daughter is in front of me now. Cuandido! Look who's here!" Mom shouted as he called dad from inside.
I laughed at what my mom said about me. I thought she would scold me because I came too late but then I was all wrong because she poured a lot of granting wishes and words for her. She's like a goddess and now I know why my dad married her and chose her to become his wife forever.
"Darling! My beautiful princess! How long did you plan to stay here, huh?" Dad asked when he got closer to us already.
I hugged him before answering his questions because I missed them so much. It's been two years since I haven't seen them because of my work too and so they have a lot of things to do in life also.
That's why we rarely saw each other and had a family bonding together. But when we got the bond and gathered together, we always cherished all the moments and time that we were all together because time passed too fast and you can't do anything about it.
You can't stop it from running too fast.
