I scowled, huffing. "You evil robot!" I whisper yelled, glaring at him. "Don't take me for a fool! I know what you are doing! I'm gonna google it! Hintay kalang!""Miss?" A flight attendant came in sight, pinupuntahan kami. Her eyes looked around and back to me, "I'm sorry but could you please keep it down? I'm afraid other passengers are being disturbed. Thank you so much." She flashed me a small smile at naglakad na rin palayo. I threw daggers at the flight attendant's retreating figure, fuming in anger. Argh! They always came in the 'unexpected' time to ruin my mood again! Just like earlier, that other flight attendant who forced me to sit, and now her. Can't they understand and blame the one who is really at fault? Why am I always the one who looks like it's my fault?I scoffed, umiling, and glared at the seat in front of me, burning holes in it. I grabbed my phone in anger from my backpack, almost breaking it on the way, opened it, and only to see the battery was low, with it h
"He? Who's that you’re referring to?" Emma piped in."My dad." Eion pressed. "Now that you see me fine, you can leave now. Ignore that old man.""Pero pumunta kami dito hindi lang para sayo, we came here to have fun also.""Yeah, cmon, what's done is done. You just have to go with the flow.""As they said, enjoy the moment, this won't last long."They said in unison. Tumahimik kang ako, not having enough energy to join in and argue.Nang dumating na ang pagkain, we ate our hearts out until we were full and discussed some matters. "Thank you for the food Eion! You're the best!" Hannah exclaimed.Finally! I flashed Eion a thumbs up, burping so loud. "Oops, excuse me." I smiled sheepishly. Good, this we are the only customer here, especially since it's already nine in the evening.Since Eion already knew our secret and the squad finally thought that it's better to let the truth out, it's fine to discuss some matters. “So anong plano nyo?" Tanong ni Emma, looking at each and every one of
Lahat kami ay tumingin sa isa’t isa, sympathy on our faces. Nakatayo lang kami, letting silence surround us."Sorry sir, Eion is just...being Eion..." There was more to it just by Luke's tone of voice.Eion's dad shook his head again slightly, his actions limited as needles and pointy things were stuck in his arm. "I'm used to it. He's my son after all. He really does hate me...I just wanted to see his face, it was the main reason why I ordered him here...."Tumingin ako sa sahig. The silence surrounding us was not entirely deafening as there was the constant sound of the machine, showing Eion's dad's heartbeat. But it was an empty silence. Just empty."Well, I gotta go and pee haha," Leroy suddenly spoke up, breaking it. Naglakad na sya at binuksan ang pinto ng biglang natigilan. "Look...who we got here," Leroy said. His eyes widened as big as saucers, and he swallowed down."Who was it?" Emma piped in, curious about who was the person at the doorway. He pushed Leroy aside who was b
May tinawagan si Eion sa kanyang phone. I heard him muttering in annoyance, “That old man, tsk.” And after that call, the man from last night who drove us came fifteen minutes later."Sir Eion." Ngumiti sya at Eion. Eion just nodded his head.Pinapasok nya na kami. We packed our things in the hotel, checked out for today, and off to another adventure.The man who drove us since last night, and I assume as Eion's driver, drove us. It was an hour or so ago when we got stuck in traffic, waited in line with the other cars, and finally breathed in freshly when we reached the port or the barge one I don't know what it's called. All I know is that the car should be transported across the other island, along with the other cars in line, with us inside. The driver said that it was called a barge or ferry… I furrowed at this, "But where are we going?" tanong ko. Do we have to really take this? Maybe there's a bridge somewhere to go and drive through."To Samal Island, ma'am. We need to be tra
Tumango ako, smiling sheepishly. "I was just sightseeing..." Psh, what can I say? I'm so ignorant!Tumango sya in acknowledgment at the worker, "Mario.""Sir Eion! Kamusta kana na?" (Sir Eion, how are you?)"Ayos lang, Mario. Musta na ang resort?" (I'm okay, Mario. How's the resort?)"Ayos na ayos naman sir. Miss na miss kana nga eh. Lalo pa ng mga chicks dito." (Still okay sir. It misses you. Especially the girls here) I looked at them left and right. They are friends...Eion looked irritated, sighing heavily while his eyebrows furrowing. "Diba sabi ko? Wag mo na kong tawagin sir? Magamigo naman tang duwa." (Did I already told you? Don't call me sir. We are friends since childhood after all.)Mario grinned sheepishly, "Aba, Sir Eion, gusto ko eh. Pampainis. Parang matanda ka pakinggan. Haha!" He chuckled. (Sir Eion, I want it.!Just for annoying you. It's like your an old man. Haha!)"Bahala ka na. Sige, kunin ko lang tong kaibigan ko. Baka naabala kapa nito." (Nevermind you. I'll jus
"Narinig ko kay Mario na parang nagbago na sya. Pero parang hindi naman..." (I heard from Mario that he changed. But I think he didn't...)"Hayaan mo na. Cold and Rude pa rin naman siya...Parang bad boy." (Nevermind that. He's still cold and rude as ever! Like a bad boy.)"Mahal ko pa rin sya." (I still love him.)"Ako rin!" (Me too!)From the looks of it, the voices were coming from two ladies. Then that word...mahal? What was that again? Looking at my phone for the notes I typed earlier, I think it's...I love you? Love? Maybe I heard something wrong..."Hoy wag nga kayo, nandito lang si sir dahil kasama nya girlfriend nya! Wala kayong chance." (Hey, don't be, he is just here because he is with his girlfriend! You don't have a chance) A male voice said. "Manage nya lang temporarily ang resort tapos nun, bye bye na sya." (He's just managing the resort and after that, bye bye.)"Psh, Mario, inggit ka lang kasi gwapo si sir, di tulad mo." I hear them chuckling. (Psh, Mario, you're just
"Worry? For what?" I turn to him, nagtama ang aking mga kilay."For someone seeing you with a bikini. To be honest I despise it also. He said, and continued. "Women are precious, like a pearl. They are supposed to be covered. They don't need to show the whole world their beauty. Especially you," He looked at me genuinely.Ngumiti ako. Wow, I didn't expect that. Then he smirked, "Ako lang dapat makakita ng katawan mo." He winked at me, then it was followed by my hand meeting his face. He groaned in pain.I scrunch my nose in disgust. "Eww, that's perverted, Mister. I'm doing it for myself. Dahil ayaw ko." I retorted."Then let us change Snow if that's what you want, Luke." Hannah piped in. "Oh brother, alam kong gusto mo rin makita to." Hannah winked at Luke, then dragged me out of the pool, with Emma tailing behind."Nooooo! My Snow! Her beaaaautyyyy!" Luke yelled in so much anguish like he's in a soap opera, his hands held out. There was nothing I could do but look at him in sympathy
I glanced at my wristwatch para maiwasan ang tingin nya, "tulog pa sila cause its still early...like it's just six in the morning. And I hadn't gotten far this time..." I trailed off, pouting my lips.He ran his hand to his hair and shook his head, "Knowing you, you'll just disobey. And you really did. Don't do it again next time or else..." He narrowed his eyes on me. I stick my tongue out childishly at him.He then turned to the old man just in front of me who was looking at us quietly. The corners of his lips turned upwards, smiling. "Mang Ando." Tumango sya his head in acknowledgment.Instantly, as though they were longtime best friends, the old man, who now I know is Mang Ando, beamed at Eion. "Eion! Musta na anak?" (Eion! How are you, son?)Eion shrugged his shoulders in reply, "Ayos lang po." Then his eyebrows raised, "Kayo po?" (I'm okay. You?)Mang Ando chuckled lightly, "Aba't malakas pa." He then pointed at me, "Ingatan mo yang girlfriend mo, sa sunod baka mawala." (Still s
