Regret #4

The fresh air gives me peace of mind and the beautiful fresh flowers are giving me sweet comfort. This place have been my sweet haven in 5 years since my mom and dad brought me here and told me that I'm going to stay here for good. I didn't opposed them in their decision because from the time I landed my eyes on this place, I felt home.

My mom and dad brought me here because they thought that it will help me forget the past and they succeeded. yes. I've completely moved on. I'm happy now. I'm contented being here in my farm. The farm that my parents bought for me. the " Sweet Blossom Flower Farm

and yes. I am here in Baguio. This place is amazing. The place's temperature is cold thus it gives warm in my heart. and the beautiful flowers and mountain sceneries makes me contented. I am living now in peace. thanks to this beautiful creation.

"hey! ate Jannah! ( author's note : ate "a- te" means older sister. it is used to talk to an older female siblings or to the other older female as sign of respect. sorry for many notes. I just want you to understand the story more :)

I switched my gase at the voice who is calling me. It's Marie.

"hey.. what's wrong? " I asked her. she looks like a lost child while calling me"

" I knew it! I've searched for the whole farm. " she said while her both arms is placed in her waist. I chuckled

" I thought you knew it? I just want to breathe some air . y'know my day isn't complete without these beautiful flowers--

" and the breath-taking scenery of those mountain" she continued what I'm saying like I've said it thousand times and she memorized it already. I chuckled more. I also thank God to this young girl in front of me. she lights my mood without effort.

" enough for watching these beautiful farm of yours and let's go home to eat our breakfast! my gosh! I'm so hungry ate! it's already 10:00am!" she said like I made some crime.

"okay okay. then let's go home. are they done harvesting the flowers?" I asked Marie while we are walking pertaining to the men that are working in my farm.

" yes, they harvested many flowers today. compare to the last harvest. "

Marie and I keep talking while we are heading to our house. my house is at the center of my farm. and my farm is at the top of the mountain. it's really cold here even in the noon time. Marie is my house helper and assistant but I treat her as my younger sister. She's an orphan that's why I keep her here in my house and let her feel that I am a family member.

As I entered the house, I went first to my room to change my clothes. I just went outside when I heard Marie calling me for our breakfast. actually we brought breakfast but I bet she didn't ate with the farmers because she's looking for me.

when I entered the dining area, I smelled the dishes she prepared. It's fried bacon, eggs, hotdogs, fried rice and the vegetable salad. I sat on the chair I suddenly feel hungry.

" how's school?" I suddenly asked her. she's studying while working. I'm paying for her tuition fee. she doesn't want to but I insisted ,she's a family for me.

" it's good but it's so tiring since they are looking more on performance task. " she sighed.

" don't worry. You will graduate soon. Just wait and study well"

"I hope so"

" yes you will" I smiled at her. she smiled back

"okay! let's eat!" she said it in a loud voice. she really never failed to make me laugh.

exactly when we finished eating, Manong Kanor arrived( Manong used to call in older men ( informal)---- Ginoo(Tagalog in a formal way--- Mr. in english.) He is one of the farmers in my farm. He is my tenant and most trusted among them. although they are all trust worthy, I trust him the most because he is the most skillful in farming. The people here are kind and,helpful and trust worthy. that's why I really loved this placed. It's far from toxic people.

"Manong Kanor"

"Ma'am Jannah, I already sold the flowers to our consumers. They really liked your flowers. some of the flowers are delivered to the neighboring city. We just have to wait for Andoy and Julio ( who delivered the flowers) for the payment, and here's the payment from our consumers here in the market.

"Thank you Manong Kanor. wait for Marie for your wages. She's just sorting it for all of you.you can go back at the afternoon"

" okay ma'am. thank you po." He said but he's still facing me like he's having trouble to say something.

" do you have a problem Manong Kanor?" I asked him. he looks like wants to say something.

"ah-m-ma'am Jannah, May I ask you if I can have my wages for next harvest? My daughter is in the hospital right now, she's having a dengue fever. " my eyes got widened. dengue fever is a serious matter.

"omg Mang Kanor, how is she now? "

" She had blood transfusion last night. the doctor said she's still under observation but rest assured that she will be okay soon"

" Good to hear that, how much's the bill?"

" it's 25 thousand. If it's okay to you ma'am I will advance my payment in your farm even for a half of my daughter's hospital bill." He said, he looks afraid that I won't allow it. but I called Marie and I asked him to enter the house and wait for Marie.

"what's the matter?" she asked as she went near us.

" please get my bag upstair in my room" she said okay then went upstair she went down after few minutes.

I got some cash from my big wallet. I really have some cash for the farmers in case of the situation like this. I pulled 30 thousand cash for him.

"here Manong Kanor, the 25 thousand is for the hospital bill and the 5 thousand is for the other expenses. You need to take care of her. Dengue Fever is a dangerous. "I said full of worries. I had dengue fever before and got hospitalized for two weeks.

"m-ma'am it's too much. I can't pay for it, I'm just asking for a half. " he said while returning the other money.

"No Manong, you can pay for the half but consider the other as my help to you and your family" I insisted. I mean it. Manong Kanor is really a good tenant. He's a hard-working man. He loves his family. he works hard for his family.

"thank you ma'am Jannah" he said while wiping his tears.

"you're welcome. consider it as your bonus for doing a great job. and also that's only I can help you so if you need anything, just don't hesitate to ask me." he thanked me many times before he left. I feel happy that I can help the people here in the way I can.

I cannot ask for more. I am contented and happy in this place.
