And the last number is...21...I could hear the beating of my heart, it's so fast and deafening. I read the numbers, again and again, they were all correct. I wanna shout! But I can't, they will figure out why. I shall not create a scene, I got this... I am fainting, nooo! So I slowly breathe in and breathe out, trying to relax my mind and my body. Everyone's asleep. I gotta plan what to do for tomorrow.
I woke up early, I am still nervous about the incident last night. Shall I tell my partner? No? My elder sister? Definitely not...Okay...
"I am going out, please take care of the baby", I told my partner. "Where are you going?", he asked. "Just in Robinson's". I hurriedly left to avoid further interrogations.
I tried so hard to walk normally, my legs are shaking. When I arrived at the Lottery office, my heart wanted to come out from my chest! Arggh, I am too young to have a heart attack and I need to enjoy this...Sigh...
"Where are your ID's Ma'am?", asked the manager. I nervously gave him my 2 valid IDs and I was praying they would suffice. "Please come with me", she politely requested me to follow her to the vault. And then she opened that door full of money that I've never seen in my whole freaking life! "You won 35 Million minus the 2 Million taxes so that's 33 Million. Congratulations! Do you wanna count them again?", the manager added. "No", was my short response. "You will exit at the back door to avoid any attention", the manager's last instruction.
"Sh**", I cursed myself. How can I act normally? I don't want to attract people especially hold uppers or kidnappers. The biggest amount I had in my pocket was 32K, way back in 2010. And now, 33M? I tightly held my pink Jansport backpack. I tried to act calmly and went to SSS. I am now fully paid! Gosh, that loan was unpaid for almost 6 years same with my Pag-ibig. It took me a while to process the payments but I am happy that I have taken care of my loans. Next, I went to Cebuana and sent 5,000 each to my elder sisters. I told them that I received an "ayuda" or assistance from a close relative and wanted to share my blessings with them! "I am going home to Iligan you bi**es!", I exclaimed to myself...
Before I went home, I bought a black forest cake for Bam and a toy car for Shingan. Everyone in the house was curious why I could afford such stuff. I will never tell even a single soul that I won the lotto, I promised myself. Am I selfish? Yes, why? I already have plans on where to spend my money.
"Shall I stop writing on read?", I asked myself. No. I decided to do what I normally do. Nothing will change. But I am excited about my travel plans. Boracay, Palawan, Siargao, here we come! But in the meantime, let me put my money into my ba....."Whoaaa whoaaaa", the baby cried..."She could have let me finish sending my money into my bank accounts first!", I annoyingly talked to the air.
It was so real that I never wanted to wake up! I checked my backpack, there was no 33M. Where did it go? Maybe I need to sleep again for the continuation of my dreams. I shall go and sleep now, my friends!
Did you ever dream of something so real that you want to be asleep forever? I did but it wasn't this dream. I wanna know what your great dream was!
