WINTER'S POINT OF VIEW

"Winter anak, did you packed your things already?" Dad asked. I nodded while I'm scrolling on my phone. Actually, I am not the one who packed my things. Of course, I won't bother myself if we have maids here. "After you finished on what you're doing on your phone, bumaba ka na para makakain ka na ng breakfast," dad said before leaving my room.

Today, we're heading back to the Philippines.

When I'm finished scrolling on my phone, I walked to our dining hall. Pagdating ko doon ay si dad lang ang nakita ko. Hindi na ako nag-abalang alamin pa kung nasaan sina Flinn and Lauren. I'm pretty sure that magkasama lang naman sila. I don't know, but after their misunderstanding, naging mas close sila.

Patapos na akong kumain ng may narinig akong nagtatawanan na papasok sa dining hall. When the door opened, I saw Flinn and Lauren laughing. See. I am right. They are with each other.

When dad saw them, he wiped his lips using tissues. "Ow. Flinn and Lauren, there you are. Kanina ko pa kayo hinahanap," dad said na nakaagaw sa pansin nilang dalawa.

"Sorry tito. Lauren and I are at the garden. Napahaba ho yata ang kwentuhan namin. We don't know that it's breakfast na." Flinn smiled.

"It's okay." Dad smiled too. "You can sit now. You should have a breakfast. Maya-maya lang ay pupunta na tayong airport." Dad continued eating. Flinn and Lauren sat beside me. When I'm finished eating, tumayo na ako at bumalik sa kwarto ko. I get my phone on the table and opened it. I smiled when I saw my wallpaper again. My wallpaper is myself when I was little with my mom and dad.

After a hour or two ay pumasok si daddy at sinabihan akong pupunta na kami sa airport. I just smiled at him bago ako naglakad pababa.

LOUIEGIE'S POINT OF VIEW

"Louiegie, fix yourself now. We're heading to the airport. We're going back to the Philippines. Please Louiegie, don't be a nerd. And also, act cool." Umaalingawngaw sa buong kwarto ko ang boses ni mommy. After she said those words ay umalis na rin ito. I think that's the 15th time that I heard those words.

I'm just confused why mom said that I shouldn't be nerd. Being a nerd is not a problem. Actually, I love being nerd. It's just the second time that mom said that I shouldn't be nerd. The first time is when it's the birthday of the girl named Winter Jin Schneider. They also said that I should act cool, that day. I just don't understand about the engagement.

I remembered that we met three times already before her birthday. And also we met two times in the day of her birthday. I can already say that she is spoiled brat based on how she act when we first met on the school that is owned by her father.

Hindi ko alam na tatlumpong minuto na palang lutang ang isip ko. I saw the door na pabukas na naman kaya nagmadali na akong magbihis. I removed my eyeglasses and put on my contact lense instead. Habang inaayos ko ang buhok ko ay may tumikhim sa bandang may pintuan. I faced who it was and I saw my dad standing there.

"Looks like you don't want to be a nerd," he said. I look at him with a confused look. I thought, sila ni mommy ang may gusto nito.

"You doㅡ"

"Yeah. You're right, Drix. It's just your mom who want you to don't be a nerd. Wala akong kinalaman sa gusto niya," pampuputol ni dad sa akin. Dad is calling me using my second name (which is Drix) if he's telling the truth, and looks like he is telling the truth now.

So it's just mom who don't want me to be a nerd? I wonder why.

WINTER'S POINT OF VIEW

Here I am right now, at the airport. I think we came here too early because our private plane is not yet here.

"Winter anak, I just have to go somewhere. You should stay here." I sat on the passenger seat of my car after dad left.

I don't have anyone to talk to because Flinn and Lauren are in the other car. I don't want to bother them because I'm pretty sure that they are sleeping. Inilabas ko na lamang ang phone ko.

After an hour ay nakita ko na rin si daddy na may kasamang tatlong tao. One woman and two man. Hindi ko pa sila gaano maaninag dahil malayo pa sila sa kinaroroonan ko, but I'm pretty sure that daddy knows them. I didn't pay attention to them and I returned my sight to my phone.

Dad opened the door of the car nang makalapit na sila. "Anak, lumabas ka na rito. There are people waiting for you here." Bumaba naman ako tulad ng sinabi ni daddy.

When I saw the people that is waiting for me, it seems that I don't want to come out. It's just that nerd/asshole with his parents. "What are you waiting for bago ka bumaba, Winter?" asked by my dad. Napabuntong hininga na lamang ako bago ako bumaba. I threw my deadly glares to Louiegie when our eyes met.

"Oh! Hi Winter Jin Schneider! Nice to meet you, again," he said. He also retaliated and gave me deadly glares.

"Hello Louiegie Drix Kingston! Bad to meet you, again," I said sarcastically as I rolled my eyes.

"You remembered my full name?"

"Of course. I remembered your name. Who wouldn't remember the name of an asshole."

"What a relief. I thought you forgot the name of your future husband." He winked. Lalapit na sana ako sa kanya nang magsalita si daddy.

"The private plane already arrived. Shall we go?" Nauna nang maglakad sila daddy at ang mga magulang ni Louiegie. I just rolled my eyes before following them.

When we arrived at the private plane, Flinn and Lauren are already here.

"You didn't said that we have two more beautiful ladies here, Jerome," mother of Louiegie said. Dad smiled at her before introducing Flinn and Lauren to them.

"By the way, this is Flinn Jane Azelart and Lauren Ava Houston." They both smiled to them.

"Can I ask a question Ma'am?" I think I know what will Flinn ask.

"Sure."

"Are you Mrs. Lianca Kingston?" Flinn asked. I just rolled my eyes because that's exactly the question that I have in mind.

"Yes, sweetie. I am Lianca Kingston. This is my husband, Anthony Drew Kingston. And this is our son, Louiegie Drix Kingston." I can see an excitement in Flinn's eyes. When I took a glance at Lauren, she's looking at me with a questioning look. I nodded at her and she just sighed.

"Can we go now?" Pang-iiba ng usapan ni daddy.

Nauna na akong maglakad papasok sa private plane, ngunit bago pa ako makapasok ay bigla akong natumba. Nang itaas ko ang paningin ko ay nakita ko si Louiegie na nasa loob na ng private plane.

"What are you waiting for, Ms. Schneider? Do I need to carry you in a bridal style," Louiegie said while grinning.

"Did I told you to push me? You're so childish!" I rolled my eyes. Tumayo na ako at pinagpagan ang sarili. Saktong papasok na ako nang bigla na naman akong natumba, ngunit sa pagkakataon na ito ay may sumalo na sa akin.

"You're talking too much, Ms. Schneider. I hope you just said to me that you want me to carry you. You just wasted your saliva." I saw myself carried by the asshole.

"Let go of me, asshole!" I said. Binitawan naman niya ako, ngunit natumba pa rin ako. "What the hell! Why can't I get up?!"

Louiegie kneeled and he took a glance at my left foot. "I think the reason why you can't get up is because your left foot is swollen. So, if I were you, I will accept my offer ti carry you. Look at them..." Tinuro niya sila daddy na seryosong nakatingin sa amin. "they're waiting for us to finish our business here, so that we can leave." Wala na akong nagawa kung hindi ang magpabuhat sa kanya. This is so uncomfortable.

When we got on the private plane, they followed us. Louiegie is next to me

***

I didn't realize that I felt asleep. When I opened my eyes, the private plane already stopped. I'm supposed to move my left foot when I remembered that it is swollen.

"Do you have no intention of removing your head from leaning on my shoulder?" Napabalikwas ako nang marinig ko ang boses ni Louiegie sa tainga ko.

"What are you doing?! BASTARD!" I shouted to him.

"Hey. Hey. First of all, you're the one that's leaning to my shoulder. Second, you should thank me for not waking you up. Lastly, don't call me bastard because I'm not one," Louiegie said.

"Whatever." I rolled my eyes.

"Tama na ang harutan niyo! We're already here in the Philippines. Bumaba na kayo," nakangiwing wika ni Flinn.

Tatayo na sana ako nang bigla akong buhatin ni Louiegie in a bridal style. "Asshole! Bastard! Let go of me!" I hissed.

"I just don't want you to be hurt. So, please, relax. I will let go of you once we get out of here."

I just crossed my arms while waiting for him to let go of me. Finally, I can see the exit of this private plane. But, why did I felt like, bumagal kami? "Hey, asshole," I said.

"Hmmm...?

"Why did I felt like we moved slowly? Don't tell me that you're taking advantage of the situation?!" Naramdaman ko nalang na bumilis kami. Nang nasa labas na kami ay padabog niya akong inilagay sa may wheelchair. "Hey! That hurts, you know," nakangiwi kong wika. Suddenly, I remembered something. "Dad! Why am I sitting in a wheelchair?! You know that I hate wheelchairs as much as I hate hospitals!"

"Why? Do you want me to carry you until we reached your car," pagsingit ni Louiegie.

"That's not what I meanㅡ"

"Or do you want me to carry you until we reached your house. But, that will be too much hassle." I rolled my eyes when Louiegie talked again.

"I'm not talking to you! Can you please shut your mouth?! Or do you want me to shut your mouth?" I throw him my deadly glares.

"How? You'll kiss meㅡ"

"Did I said that I will kiss you? That's so gross!" I shouted to him. "Dad! If you don't want me to leave this wheelchair here, can you say to this asshole to leave?"

Nagulat na lamang ako nang itinulak ng mabilis ni Louiegie ang wheelchair na kinalalagyan ko. Muntikan pa akong mahulog kung hindi lang ako nakahawak. Geez.

Padabog niya akong inilagay sa sasakyan. "Hey! That hurts, you know!" I hissed at him while rolling my eyes.

"I told you that I am not an assholeㅡ"

"Because you're a bastard?" pampuputol ko sa kanya.

"Ms. Schneider, I am not an asshole and I am not also a bastard because those words doesn't suit me well."

"Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Say what you want to say. Believe what you want to believe. But that doesn't changed the fact that your an asshole and also a bastard" I rolled my eyes.

"Winter anak, Louiegie and his parents will be staying at our mansion for a week," dad said nang makapasok na siya sa sasakyan.

I looked at dad with disbelief. "Dad! Why?" Before dad can answer my question, Louiegie joined our conversation again.

"Did you just said why? Do you owned that mansion? No, right? It's your dad who owned that mansion. So, he's the one who will decide if he wants to let us stay there. Not you, Ms. Schneider," Louiegie said.

"Are you my dad? No, right? That means, I am not talking to you, Mr. Kingston." I throw my deadly glares at him.

"I'm just explaiㅡ"

"Whatever," pampuputol ko sa kanya.

Wait. I remembered something.

"Dad?" I called my dad's attention.

"Yes?"

"The Kingston's mansion is just next to ours. Why do they need to stay with us?" I hope Louiegie will not join our conversation.

"It's our parents who decided to let us stay at your manㅡ"

Suddenly, the car stopped and I accidentally kissed Louiegie's cheek. Ewwww.

I looked at the driver. "What the hell?!" I shouted to the driver.

"Sorry po, ma'am."

"It's okay, manong. You don't have to worry. It's not your fault that Winter wanted to kiss my cheek," mapang-asar na wika ni Louiegie.

"What?" I said na ikanakunot ng noo ni Louiegie. "Me? Wanted to kiss your cheek? Dream on. It's just a pure accident. Or maybe it's the driver's fault." I glared at the driver at nakita kong iniyuko niya ang kanyang ulo.

"Come on, Ms. Schneider. It's not that embarassing to admit that you want to kiss my cheek."

"Whatever." I rolled my eyes. After I said those words ay wala nang nagsalita.

Silence occured among us until we arrived at our mansion.
