"Papa naman eh, you're so unfair."

"Ako pa talaga ang unfair? You're being addicted to online games and you are always late to come home. You are still young. Napapabayaan mo din ang pag-aaral mo." I roll my eyes in annoyance.

"Mataas pa rin kaya grades ko. Look, all my subjects are line of 8."

"Nagmamalaki ka pa?"

"I'm proud of it. It's not bagsak after all."

"No, you're going to study in the province."

"Eww. Yuck! That's gross and boring."

"That's final. Inayos ko na ang mga gamit mo at aalis ka bukas din."

"Why naman bukas papa? It's still vacation. Iitim ako doon or either worst papangit ako." reklamo ko kay papa. It's true. I can be exposed to sunlight more often and it can burn my skin.

"It's my final decision. Mas maganda doon para hindi ka makagala at ng hindi ka mas ma-adict sa online games." what's wrong with online games? I can manage my studies naman ah like I still graduated as one of the with honors.

"I'll talk to mama."

"We both decide for this."

"This is really unfair." I said at padabog akong umakyat ng hagdan. Pumasok ako sa kwarto ko at nagcomputer.

Buong gabi kaming naglaro ng mga kaibigan ko pero inaantok na ako ng mga alas kwatro na kaya natulog ako.

"Young lady gumising na po kayo."

Naalimpugatan naman ako at nakita ko din si papa na nakatayo sa paanan ng kama ko at ang sama ng tingin sa'kin.

"Go and take a bath. Ihahatid ka na namin sa probinsiya Nathalia Rhaine Ferrer."

"I hate you." singhal ko at hinablot ko ang nakasabit na tuwalya ko sa likod ng pinto. Pumasok ako sa banyo at naligo.

We are in the way to my mothers province and I hate it. Ano namang gagawin ko doon buong two months break. I don't even have friends there. Buong byahe akong nakaheadset at nakapikit ang mata.

"Thalia we're here."

Nagmulat naman ako ng mata. The refreshing air kiss my face as I move out of the van. My eyes darted in an old two storey house but still it was pretty and pleasing. It was my first time to be here and i admit it that this place is pretty.

"what can you say about the place?"

"I hate this place." I lied but papa just chuckles and messed my hair kaya naman hinampas ko ang kamay niya. "You're so nakakainis papa. Stop messing my hair."

"Okay." he said.

Pumasok naman ako sa loob at mas namangha ako. It was perfectly clean. All the things are organized. It's not bad at all.

"Anak may ipapakita ako sa'yo." mama said kaya naman sinundan ko ito.

"Saan naman tayo pupunta?"

"The view is beautiful there. You will like it."

"Ma naman this is torture. You didn't say that this is malayo and you want hiking."
