Everybody wants a splashing and tanning summer. Who wouldn't say yes to a one day free trip to a wonderful beach club? So, that's basically how this story would start.
My good friend, Glenn *hi beybs!* is celebrating his 19th birthday at a beach club on the north which is a 3-4 hour drive. I was very much excited for the new adventure that I just prepared my things in the morning lol. Anyways, we had a great time there; the pool is nice, the view of the sea is wonderful and the atmosphere is full of elegance.We were the kids who escaped to paradise that day. So you see, I was having the best summer-ender. However, because of certain ideas coming from my awesome yet trouble-magnet brain, I stayed at one of my friend's house, Nicole's (it was an hour away from that beach club) together with another friend, Tatine. I called my mom saying we were staying there. I didnt emphasized who the "we" are and where the "there" is. And she thought we all are staying there at the beach club. THAT WAS A MAJOR LIE. I felt guilty (a little). It's been awhile since I last did a major lie. So that was it, I lied. But I didnt realize how much trouble was waiting for me that time.
May 24, 2015
We planned to catch a sight of the sunrise but well, you know what happened. Hahaha The sun is already awake at 5:30 am. HOW COULD IT BE SO EARLY? So we just spent another morning of laughing and talking about random things and random people *winks.
Nicole brought us to this amazing cold spring near their area. The best part of it is that it's FREE!!!
It's so cool, there were mini waterfalls and the water is verrryy brrrrrr cold. A lot of people went that day because it was Sunday. It was Sunday and I was out there enjoying through a lie. ARGGHHHH
Anyways, just as I thought I had the best summer getaway, I checked on my phone just to see my mom's 13 missed calls and one heart-stopping message. DAMMMMMMMMNNNNN My life's over!!! She called another time to Tatine and I answered it.
ALL THE SHT WORDS ARE SAID AND I KNEW ILL BE DEAD IN A FEW HOURS.
And so, we went home. Worried. I found out she's been calling all my friend since I didnt answer my phone and that was how she knew. I was thinking of another major alibi aka another lie but then I knew it will make it worse. I knew then I got no choice but to face whatever my mom got there since it was really my fault. Im already preparing myself, my ass most especially, for the ass-beating scene or for the phone-less, internet-less, travel-less days. All I got there is my guilty self and oh, there's this man up there.
I prayed.
I didnt ask to be saved from whatever punishment is waiting but I was praying for strength to face it. I asked him to let myself be strong, strong enough to accept the fact that this wouldnt happen if I told the truth. I have thoughts of maybe if I didn't come, I should have been at home, worry-less, just chilling but it was too late.
I got home. Mom was not there yet. She was out at our neighbor's. She didnt arrive for the next five hours. It was five hours of agony not to mention that my sisters are not even helping.
She came. And the conversation went like:
Mom: What you did is not good.
Me: I know.
She went to their room, and played with the tab. That was it. THE HOURS OF WORRYING AND STRESSING MY HEART OUT ENDED LIKE THAT. JUST.LIKE.THAT.
Im not complaining here, okay, Im just saying that wow You're the man, Lord. I knew it was because of you. It was because I chose not to lie again (unlike before) . I chose to face it. I trusted You for my strength. And I thank You. :>
It was absolutely a hell kind of a trip. As much as I hate parts of it, I love it as a whole. I love that even after all, it was still a happy vacation. The lie, which was the worst thing; ever, was actually the key for the good things. If it wasnt for it, I would never have seen the great views and the cold spring. If it wasnt for it, I wouldnt realize (finally) that lying is dangerous. It could kill you by the worries and stress. Hahaha And most of all, if I didnt lie, I have no story to tell right now.
"You'll never have anything to laugh about when you grow old if you obey all the rules" *winks
til the next trouble ...
