CARMELITA

"OH MY GOD!" I exclaimed as I entered my office. I restlessly paced inside my office with my hands running through my hair. "What the fuck have I done? Shit! What the hell am I doing?" I chastise myself while still closing my eyes from screaming.

I dived to the nearby couch and covered my face with the throw pillow, and then I screamed again. I just stopped what I was doing when I heard someone come inside the room. I panicked and adjusted in my seat because I didn't lock the door. I'm stupid! But seeing who entered gave me goosebumps.

"Oh okay. It's just you, beshy. I thought it was someone," I said with a sigh of relief and lay down on the couch.

"You thought I was Ando? Is that what you mean?" She looked at me. She came and sat in the empty chair.

"No... It's not… Uh, whatever you say," I snorted.

She threw me a throw pillow. I was struck in the face.

"Ouch! It hurts!" I roared.

"Fool! I'm really going to hurt you because of what you're doing. What the hell are you thinki

    FERNANDO "WHERE ARE WE GOING, MA’AM?" I asked the woman who was staring at me intently while I was driving her car. She is like a teenager who is thrilled while staring at her crush. Wow! It's obvious that Carmelita's treatment of me has changed since she proposed. "I told you not to call me ma'am when we're not at the resort or when we are out of work, right?" She said, still not taking her eyes off of me. Awkwardly, I said, "All right." I don't understand myself. This is what I want to happen. Carmelita is love-struck by me, but why am I afraid of her aggression? Coward! I'm not a coward! My alter ego has no shame. My mind

I took his one hand and "mano"."God bless you, Andy," said the captain.After that, I sat in the empty chair in front of his table."It's good that you came here. I heard some gossip from the islanders and I want to hear it from you. So, I am glad you are here," said Tatay Jose."Huh? What is that?" I asked in surprise."Did you propose to Carmelita?

    FERNANDO "OH MY GOD! It's so beautiful here!" exclaimed Agatha as we descended to our first destination for the day, Kayangan Lake. "Wow. What happened to 'Ha? Coron? Let's just do our team building here in Marupok. Marupok Island is much better than other places'. Ha? Sister Agatha?" teased Dylan to the woman. "Tsk! Marupok Island is really more beautiful. Coron is just second. No offense meant, Brother who's driving our boat," Agatha defended herself. "It's okay, ma'am," said the boatman. Agatha really is funny sometimes. "Mommy, I want to swim now," Talitha, the lively child, chimed in. Of course, she's still with us. Unlike other kids who are afraid of sailing on the ocean, this kid is different. She's very adventurous and always on the go. Maybe because she also grew up on an island. "Oh, let's go. What are we waiting for? Let's explore Lake Kayangan, everyone!" Agatha said excitedly and led the way off the boat, carrying Tali. "Agatha is hilarious, huh? At first, she wa

    FERNANDO"WHOA! It's so beautiful here!" exclaimed the twins. They ran and splashed into the water together."It really is beautiful here! These rock formations are the best. Let's take a picture, sis. Come on," Agatha said, and she and Tali took a selfie."Where are we again?" I heard Carmelita ask our boatman."We're at Barracuda Lake. We just came from Kayangan Lake. Fun fact: It's called Barracuda Lake because when you dive, you'll see the fish skeletons of barracudas below," our boatman, who we got to know as Mang Junior, explained."Ohh..." some of us murmured in response."Guys! Dive in! The underwater view is amazing!" Cole shouted as he appeared to invite us.The twins didn't wear life jackets because they're good swimmers. But they wore goggles to see underwater better.We brought our own swimming gear, so we didn't need what was provided by our tour guide. Well, all of us are from Marupok Island, and we all know the dos and don'ts of the sea.Anyway, we were excited to dive

    CARMELITA"I'M BEAT!" Agatha exclaimed as she sat next to me on the sofa. She took my wine glass and drank the wine.I just sighed and refilled my empty wine glass. Then, I took a sip without hesitation."Are you getting drunk?" she asked."Nope," I replied. "Is Tali asleep?""Yup. And she's snoring," Agatha replied.We were in the living room, watching a horror series on Netflix. It was a horror series that was recommended recently, "The Haunting of Bly Manor." I started watching it before we went to Coron, but I paused it because, well, we were on vacation. And yes, we're back home now. We're back in the house, and I'm continuing to watch it.Agatha was also watching with me. We're both fans of horror, suspense, and thriller stuff, so even if all the lights are off wherever we are and only the TV is on, we don't mind at all."I am ready to listen," Agatha said.I glanced at her in surprise. She wasn't looking at me but at the screen. She was also taking her time sipping her wine."I

    FERNANDOSINCE WE RETURNED FROM CORON, CARMELITA'S TREATMENT TOWARDS ME HAS CHANGED EVEN MORE.After the kiss we shared that night in Coron, I asked her to give me more time to consider her proposal. She looked hurt when I said that, but she quickly recovered.The next day, during the second day of our tour, she seemed a bit uneasy, or maybe it was just my imagination, because her behavior towards me became okay again, and she was still extra sweet and clingy. Until we returned home and went back to our normal routine at Mairaos resort, Carmelita's displayed interest in me became even more intense.Earlier, when Maribel was here, there was some tension between them. I saw how Carmelita looked so angry, like she wanted to kill someone. It was my first time seeing her like that. Because even though she could be grumpy, she had never really gotten angry before. I mean, ever since I arrived here in their place, I have never seen her lose her temper.But man, earlier, if Carmelita hadn't h

Go home before the creeps here take advantage of you," said the bartender, whose name was Jennifer."Nooo! Liquor, please," the intoxicated woman insisted."Oh, Carmel. Did you and Ando have a fight?" Jennifer asked.They were friends, so Jennifer could talk casually to Carmelita. She had also met Ando before. The first time Jennifer saw Carmelita drunk was when she found out that her employee was engaged to her.In Jennifer's mind, she couldn't blame Carmelita for being enchanted by Ando. He was very handsome, masculine, and seemed kind."No fight! He doesn't want me. He doesn't!" the woman exclaimed loudly.Other people in the bar were starting to stare at her."Please excuse us. She's just going through something," Jennifer apologized to the other customers. "She's harmless, so don't worry.

    "I-EXCUSE ME. Is anyone there?" I knocked loudly on the door of the big house. Several minutes passed, but it seemed like nobody heard me, so I was about to knock again when the door suddenly opened. "Who are you? Why are you here?" the young girl who opened the door asked coldly. I was slightly taken aback by her unfriendly greeting, but I quickly remembered why I dared to knock on the door of the big house. "I-It's Rico, he need—-" "What's that, Nana? Who's there?" a woman approached the young girl. "She just knocked, Mommy. She mentioned Rico," the young girl said, still looking at me. "How do you know Rico, dear?" the woman asked me. That's when I told them everything that happened. They immediately responded, along with the woman's husband and their caretaker, Mang Jose. That's how our friendship with the new owners of the White House began. We met Nana, Rico's older sister, and Nana's twin brother Andy. Nana's real name is Fernanda, and Andy's real name is Fernando.

    "COME ON, let's go inside," Agatha whispered. We were standing at the gate of the White House.I took a deep breath. Even though I had talked to my mom and asked her not to allow me to go when Agatha asked, she still let me. My clever friend said we were just going to play with Onin. Of course, my mom, who's so kind and easily persuaded by Agatha's antics, ended up allowing or even encouraging me to go.She even said that I should enjoy being a child while I still can, and she's confident wherever we go.Agatha's smile widened as she pulled me out of the bunkhouse. And Agatha's plan became more convincing because her dad was going to accompany us. I don't know what she said to her dad, but as I've said, Agatha is persistent. If she really wants to do something, she'll find a way."Hey, wait. We might get scolded," I panicked as she pulled me inside."Don't worry. Just be quiet. Shush," she said.As soon as we entered the gate, I froze and surveyed the surroundings. It was dark where w

    17 YEARS AGO..."CARMEL, are you going to school?" my mother asked as she caught me by the door. I had just woken up."Yes, Mom. I didn't wake you up because I know you were so tired from working at the resort last night," I said, approaching her to kiss her on the cheek. "I'm leaving now," I added, about to step out but she stopped me again."Wait... have you eaten?""Yes, Mom. I cooked. Your breakfast is on the table. I also packed some food for you so you don't have to worry," I said with a smile.Tears welled up in my mother's eyes as she hugged me tightly. Though I was puzzled by her actions, I couldn't help but smile at her words. A mother's embrace is truly comforting."Oh... I'm so lucky to have you, Carmel. You're truly a blessing from God. Thank you, my child. I hope you never change," my mother said, smiling through tears."I'm also lucky because you're my mother. Okay, Mom. I'm leaving now. I love you, Mom," I said again.Her reply of 'I love you, too' was the last thing I
