Chapter 46.2
Drunk Call
Nanlamig ako. This is Austin. I know his voice.
"Can you let me talk? Kahit 'wag ka nang magsalita. Just don't drop the call," he said.
I don't know why but my gut is telling me that he's drunk. It's Rafael's birthday, after all. Uveros always drink when they celebrate birthdays.
"Where did you get my number?" I asked. From Agatha? Inigo? Kuya Van? Or from my parents?
"Got it from Inigo's phone. I'm sorry..."
Huminga ako ng malalim. Patience, Gia. Patience.
"Drop the call now. You're drunk," sabi ko.
"No. I promise I'll keep it short," Austin said.

TypeI couldn't move with what Skylar said. What did she mean by before it's too late? Should I be worried about something?Napailing na lang ako. I didn't want to complicate things and come up with answers to my questions so I just did the sanest thing I could think of. I put everything she said at the back of my mind and just focused on our LU trip.I was successful at that part... Nang mag-Sabado ay nakahanda na lahat ng dadalhin ko. Clothes, essentials, camera and other things. Susunduin ako nina Inigo at Agatha kaya maaga akong nag-ayos. I didn't want them to wait for me to get ready."Basement na kami," Agatha said when I picked up her call.

TypeMinutes passed and it's not just Ali and Agatha who's asking me to sing. Pati sina Kuya Rex ay pinipilit na rin ako na pumunta sa stage. Even the vocalist who just finished her song asked for me!God, this is so embarrassing.Na-prepressure na akong tumayo kasi hinihintay na ako ng vocalist at guitarist sa stage."I'll sing too if you sing," Iain suddenly said. Parang iyon na ang last straw nila na mapilit ako na kumanta sa harap.Ang kulit nila... Panay pa rin ang iling at tanggi ko pero bigla akong hinila ni Inigo patayo at tinulak papunta sa stage. Ang sama ng ugali!"Woohoo! Go, Gia!" he cheered and showed me a thumbs up. Sumabay din sa pag-cheer sina Raf.

TalkIt was awkward.Or rather, I was awkward.Austin didn't join us for dinner. Nang iwan ko siya sa dalampasigan ay hindi siya sumunod. I thought I could escape with the talk that he was referring to... Well, for tonight at least. Pero mali ako...Inigo and the guys decided to have a drink - which was seconded by Agatha and Ali. Me? I'm against it. Hindi ko nakalilimutan na balak akong lasingin ni Agatha. I wanted to just sulk in the villa. Or maybe just sleep the night off. Pero ang kulit nina Ali. In the end, napilit nila ako na sumama.Hindi ko alam kung may silbi ba ako rito. Tahimik lang ako habang nag-uusap sila. I need to const

TalkNatahimik siya nang sabihin ko iyon. Well, it's true. Had I learned his explanation before, I'm certain I'd still be hurt deeply. Sigurado ako na aalis pa rin ako. But I couldn't deny that even if he hurt me so badly, my fond memories with him were still one of the best things that happened in my life."Yeah. I was such an ass for doing that. I felt like I was the shittiest person on earth for hurting you. I'm sorry...""Apology accepted."Natawa siya sa sinabi ko. I was taken aback hearing him laugh again."For real, though. I'm truly sorry. I know it's not enough but I'm very much willing to make up for everything. I can even be your slave if you want me to...""That's against the

DrownI didn't attempt to surf again. Nanatili lang ako sa pwesto ko at pinapanood ang paulit-ulit na subok nina Iain at Inigo. Meanwhile, Kuya Rex, Raf and Austin are surfing at their own pace. I'd be lying if I say that I'm not amazed at how good Austin was. Saan kaya siya natuto mag-surf? Who taught him?I am staring at him too much, that's for sure. I don't even know why I'm doing it. Kaya naman nang makita ko na pabalik na siya ay agad akong umiwas ng tingin."Girl, he's ripped. With muscles in their right places!"Nagpanting ang tainga ko sa narinig. Lumingon ako para makita kung sino ang nagsabi noon. Not far from me, I saw two girls talking and giggling. They are boldly staring at Austin as he walks. He even ran his fingers through his wet hair which made the girls giggl

DrownEverywhere in my body hurts. My head is pounding when I opened my eyes. Nasa isang puting kwarto ako. Siguro ay clinic ito ng resort. Nang gumalaw ako ay naramdaman ko ang mainit na kamay na nakahawak sa kamay ko. Nang lingunin ko iyon ay nakita ko si Austin na bakas sa mukha ang sobrang pag-aalala.Siya ba 'yong tumulong sa'kin? How so? Malayo ako sa kanila kanina, ah? If someone helped me, I won't expect it's anyone from them."Please, don't ever scare me like that again..." nanghihinang sabi ni Austin.Memories flooded me. I was surfing and my leg cramped. Malayo ako sa dalampasigan. Nahulog ako sa tubig. Nahirapang lumangoy. Kinakain ng mga alon. Unti-unting nawawalan ng hangin. Hindi makahinga at hindi makawala."I a

ThankfulI wasn't a strong believer in second chances. I always thought that once something is broken, it will never be the same again. Once your trust is broken, it's so hard to restore it back whole. It's not an overnight fix. Some take years and some just never get fixed. That's how crucial second opportunities are for me. But Austin changed my belief.When I went home, I was so certain I'd never look back. Kasi ano pa ba ang point? Everything is done. Bakit ko pa babalikan? Bakit ko pa pagtutuonan ng pansin? I lived my life differently for almost two years. I forced myself to forget and bury all the pain. To heal... But I was so wrong. It turns out I was healing for the wrong reason. I thought I got cheated on and quite honestly, that destroyed me. Pero mali pala ako. Had I learned the truth early on, I would've saved myself some trouble even just a bit.

ThankfulHindi kalayuan ang condo ko sa firm namin kaya mabilis lang ang naging biyahe."Thank you..." I said as Austin opened the door for me and helped me unbuckle my seatbelt."I'll walk you to your unit," sabi pa niya. He also helped with my bags. Siya na ang may dala noon hanggang sa makarating kami sa unit ko.I'm not a slob but I immediately felt embarrassed when I saw that some of my things in the living room are not organized. Nagkalat pa iyong mga brush sets ko pati na 'yong maliliit na canvas."Sorry. It's a mess," I apologized.Isa-isa kong pinulot ang mga gamit ko at maayos na sinalansan sa gilid."It's fine," Austin said. Nakaupo
