CHAPTER 25

No vision of Leo the whole 3 years.

No talks about the past of us.

No pursuing scene.

That's indeed helpful and less stressful to me. I don't need a perfect closure to him. What I want is to let him go of his guilt towards me.

Maybe, Leo realizes that it won't work again. That nothing will happen if he continues pursuing his sorry's.

The whole 3 years were fine and bearable for me. It went smoothly as I reach my final degree.

This is the last year I'll google everything in the past. From this month and ahead of this month, would be the finals. In short, I'm now starting to conquer my dreams.

A few months and it would be our graduation day. We all had 4 months to go before we leave this hectic school year.

From now and ahead of, I'll be one of the professional Architect's who build beautiful houses.

I was in my room preparing for my bags and clothes to bring for the upcoming vacation of our university.

The school announces a 3 months vacation or some called it a field trip. Everyone was happy and excited to travel.

Italy's tourist spot is indeed beautiful and full of innocence. I badly want to live here forever.

I breathe and continued packing my things.

Ely just celebrated her 4th birthday last month. Keanna wasn't there because she said she was busy with her work.

Furthermore, I didn't bother to ask her why is she so busy with her work. Maybe she can have a day off from her work.

The pain in my chest is still here. Every time Ely asks if she had a father. I think someone asks her where is her father in the school.

Prolly, I don't want her to study in school. I just want her to have a private teacher that can go to our house every day.

Call me selfish, but I just want her to be away from those people we all can't trust. Well, I guess I can't decide at all, mom still defends having a face-to-face school instead here.

Children like Ely should also have friends in the outer world not just like this. That was my mom's dialogue.

I get her point, their point rather.

My mind at that time is occupied after hearing that Leo's sister had a heart attack and she needs to find a heart donor.

At some point, I'm afraid and nervous that her sister might die. Luckily someone offered to become her sister's donor.

They didn't specify who it was. All I know was it's one of their relatives who had a suitable heart like his sister.

I felt relieved when I heard that news from one of my friends in the Philippines.

After packing someone chatted in our group chat. It was our president. She's informing us about the call time and some schools that will join the field trip.

I said in myself. Inside that 3 months, I will prepare myself for the next encounter of my life.

I'm not living as one. I am living with my child. The rest of the 4 months would be my relaxed and chill moments. After that, back to reality.

I sigh.

The next morning was our flight. Our call time is 7:30 am, so at exactly 6 am I'm already awake.

I cook their breakfast while Louries was busy reading some documents and case files.

Mom and dad were in Korea to assist our small company. They really had hard work, building that company.

My parents want me to take over our company special because it is all about buildings.

Soon, when I passed the board exams. For now, I just need to enjoy the rest of the vacation before we all graduated.

"Mommy!!" Ely shouted while running towards me.

I was busy cooking when she came close to me with her pajamas. She looks so cute with it.

Although I want her to buy a pair of Disney princess toys Ely didn't want it. Ely likes the toys like cars and airplanes.

Yea, she's too boyish and she acts like a man in front of us. Well, it's fine for me.

"Yes, baby? mommy is cooking right, play with your toys there," I answered her.

She wrapped her arms around my waist while twerking her butts.

Jesus.. my angel is now twerking? how old is she?... oh god 4 years old.

"Where did you learn that dance?" I ask her cause of confusion.

I heard Lourie's laugh and nothing else. I assumed she teaches it to my daughter.

"Lourie! you should have not teach Ely those steps!" I mumbled at her.

She continues laughing and Ely went to Lourie's side. My gosh, they find each other like best buddies.

"That was just a dance Lucy, it was your mind who gave malice to it," Lourie uttered while combing Ely's hair.

I roll my eyes and fixed the dining table. My phone beeped and it was Lea and my gay friends calling.

My hands didn't bother to answer the calls. I went inside of my room to change my clothes.

The Philippines. That's our destination for our field trip. At first, I declined because Lea said it would be in Batanes.

Good thing it was changed and deal in Palawan. The venue isn't visible because it was a surprise.

_____________

- Ave

*Sissy, were here where are you!!?

_____________

-Elton

* It's already 6:40 where are you?*

I read those messages and most of it was asking where I am.

My eyes catch Ely's vision. She's looking at my bags and dress.

"Mommy where are you going?" She suddenly asks in a sad tone.

"Mommy will go on a field trip baby. But mommy will come back after okay!?" I answered and caressed her hair.

"How long will you stay on that field trip?"

"Hmm, about 3 months baby,"

"Why is it too long? are you going to live in there?" She asks.

"Of course not baby, I'll be home after 3 months okay? you can always call mommy on the phone if you need anything. hmm?" I assured her and tilted my head.

Slowly she smiled and I pinch her nose before tweaking her hair.

"Now let's go, mommy is going. Be good in here okay? mommy Lourie and mommy granny will be here anytime soon,"

She nodded and kissed my cheeks. I said goodbye to Lourie before I went outside of the unit.

Lourie suggested to bring my car but I refuse because it would be a hassle. I can grab a taxi on the road and drive to the airport.
