"I hope someday you realize that the person you're with, with those memories is not her, but me." That was the last words I said to him before I turn around and walk away with tears rolling down my cheeks.
Its been five years since I saw her turn her back without glance and go away, but I didn't even stop her. That was my biggest mistake I've been made. Just stare at the back of the person I love. I was always hope that I would meet her again and when that time comes I'll definitely chase after her.

"What did you do with those beautiful hair of yours?!" my cousin Dexter hysterically asked.
"Nah it was just fine, see I'm still beautiful but also handsome now" I said while posing manly.
"What did you do exactly?" He now asked in serious tone. I sigh.
"There's really nothing I can hide from you" I said with a sigh while patting slightly his shoulder. "Grandfather wants me to manage the company b-"
"But you didn't want to" he finished my sentence.
"Exactly" I said with my casual smile.
"You still has the guts to smile huh? I'm sure grandpa was hunting you now like crazy" my cousin said.
"Yeah I know so I'm counting on you from now on. I'm sure you'll take a good care of me" I remarked with a wink and start to walk away.
"Hey you shouldn't wander around you little-"
"See you later" I said while waving my hand without looking back.
'Sigh. It's really hard to be free when you're the only one they want to be in that seat.'
I take off with my bike I drive towards my house. I arrived within fifteen minutes in the way I drive. I got off my bike and I admire the house in front of me. This is the only house of mine that my grandfather doesn't know about. It is thirty minutes away from the school I'll be attending soon. This is the place I decided to move into because it was near the ocean and the forest. Just in between of the two beautiful scenery. It is located on top of a small hill that surrounded by a small forest and the ocean was seen up here beautifully.
I watch the sun as it sets down to the ocean as I sat down at the edge of cliff near my house. It was beautiful. I remember my mother saying before she passed away that she wants to see sunset before she rest. She said that she wants to be the sun, a sun that gives light to everyone, a sun that wakes up every from their slumber like a mother walking up their children, a sun that setting off but also reminding everyone that they'll to go home, go home to their family that was awaiting. She want to be that sun but she couldn't. Before she was really devoted to that seat that she forgets that she still have a family that awaits her ever you evening. She forget that she still have a child that awaits her every evening at the front door until that child sleep accidentally at the floor.
But I understand her, that seat that's her responsibility that bestowed by her father, my grandfather and she didn't want him to be disappointed.
As for me I don't want to be like her. She's has the power but doesn't have the ability to be free. I want to have that ability even though without the power that everyone wants to own. So I run away when my grandfather say that I'll be the next one to seat in that chair. Is don't want to be locked up in a world that I don't even want to step into. I want to be a bird that free from cages, bird that flies freely above the sky.

"Hey cous, uncle said he already set your schedule you can come to school whenever you want" Dexter inform me.
"Thanks Dex, I'll let you know when will I be in the school but before that I have to settle down first" I said.
"That's it then, and by the way Uncle wants to see you this after, this is his contact number" Dexter said while handing me our uncle's business card.
"Okay, I'll contact him later. I'm going to shopping want to come?" I asked.
"Nah, I'm good. I'm gonna relax whole day in the house" he said.
I got out of Dexter's house and run towards my car. I plan to buy a house near the school so that I can just walk going to school. I need to be a low key for now. Even though I have another house that 30 minutes away from the school I still need to be low key. Luckily I have my own bank account I can use that to buy furnitures and my necessity.
I drive around the school and luckily I spotted a house for sale. It was only a block after the school and it was perfect because it was only a small family house.
I dialed the number from the sign that states that the house was for sale. After sometime of talking, I finally got the house with a small amount. Call me stingy but that's how I work and that is why my grandfather was hunting me. I am a marketing genius and was very good in managing things that are too serious for everyone. He wants me back because he wants me to solve the problem that "his" company has but that problem was specially made by me before I run away. That will cause the company to lose the stocks. That company ruined my mother's life, that was a cage made by my grandfather and I'm determined to ruined that cage.
