I looked up at him at ngumiti ng mariin. "Sorry...I was trying to hear what you are listening to, just being curious about me... as always, nothing to fear." I waved off like it's no big deal.

I minded my own business and continued on drawing, not bothering to destroy the mood.

From the corner of my eye, I see him removing one of his earphones on the right, wiping it, and placing it on my ear.

Nasorpresa ako at may naramdamang kuryento as his hands accidentally brushed against my ears. I glanced at him, my small smile now turning into a wide grin.

“Something about you now

That I can't quite figure out

Everything she does is beautiful

Everything she does is right

Cause there's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do

Nothing to lose

And there's you and me and all of the people

And I don't know why

I can't keep my eyes off of you and me.”

I didn't dare move from my place habang nakasandig sa bintana, staring at the sky into emptiness as the song came and dug emotions deep in

    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

    Buti na lang na-convince ko si Eion na dumaan sa reception matapos siyang makipagkulitan sa kotse. Ang reception ay sa villa ni Hudson, kung saan naglilingkod ang kaibigan ni Eion noong bata pa si Mario. Nakita ko siya at ngumiti sa kanya. "Buti naman nagtatrabaho ka pa rin dito, Mario." Bahagya siyang yumuko, “Kahit ako ay nagtataka kung bakit hindi ako pinaalis ni Eion. Anyways, I’m wishing you a happy marriage, Ms. Snow.” Pagkatapos ay bumulong siya, "Alam ko na kayong dalawa ang hahantong sa isa't isa." Sabi niya sabay kindat, at bago pa ako makasagot ay naglakad na siya palayo. "Ano iyon?" Tanong ni Eion nang maabutan niya ako habang pinaparada niya ang sasakyan kanina. "Wala. Mario ang pagiging Mario." Sumagot ako. Nakita ko si Leroy na nakatingin sa paligid at nang magtama ang aming mga mata, nakahinga siya ng maluwag. Pagkatapos ay tinahak niya ang daan papunta sa amin. "Oh hey. Nagulat ako na nakarating ka rito, aking kaibigan." Sabi ni Leroy sabay turo sa labi ko at

    Maya-maya lang ay tumigil si Eion at tumayo. Binigyan siya ng isang waiter ng gitara at tumahimik siya.“I never sing, Snow, but for tonight, it’s only you and me. Kantahan kita."Napabuntong hininga ako dahil doon. "Teka, kakanta ka ba talaga?"“Oo. Nagsasanay ako nitong mga nakaraang buwan. Sa Pinas, alam mo ba na nakasanayan na nilang kantahin ang iyong puso gamit ang gitara at pumunta sa bahay ng liligawan mo. Tinatawag itong harana." Ipinaalam niya sa akin. Ang mga kamay niya ay nagtu-tune ng gitara at medyo nanginginig siya. Nginitian ko siya at nag thumbs up para palakasin ang loob niya.Tumango siya, “Maaaring hindi ito ang bahay mo at nasa barko tayo ngayon pero... I’m doing it. Sana ay mag-enjoy ka sa gabing ito, mahal ko." Pagkasabi niyan, sinimulan niyang i-string ang gitara at ipinikit ang kanyang mga mata, binuka ang kanyang bibig para kumanta."Kapag ang iyong mga binti ay hindi gumana tulad ng datiAt hindi kita maalis sa iyong mga paaMaaalala pa ba ng iyong bibig ang

    Sinimulan ni Eion ang kanyang panata. "Naalala mo ba yung unang araw na nagkakilala tayo?" Hindi ito ang karaniwang love at first sight moment. Naiinis ako sayo, hindi ko alam na pagmamahal na pala ang nararamdaman ko. Nagsimula kami bilang magkaaway at ngayon, tingnan mo kami. Ikaw ay naging aking manliligaw, aking kasama, at aking matalik na kaibigan. Wala akong ibang gustong makasama sa buhay. Makakasama kita, mahal ko, at asawa ko, magpakailanman." Sabi na napatigil siya. Nakatingin siya sa mga mata ko habang sinasabi niya iyon. Wala siyang kopya, pagkatapos ay nagpatuloy siya, “Ginawa mo akong pinakamasayang tao sa mundo ngayon sa pamamagitan ng pagsang-ayon na ibahagi ang iyong buhay sa akin. Ipinapangako kong pahahalagahan at igalang kita. Ipinapangako kong aalagaan at poprotektahan kita. Ipinapangako ko na aaliwin kita at hikayatin ka. Ipinapangako kong makakasama kita sa buong kawalang-hanggan. Ipinapangako kong mamahalin kita kung sino ka, at kung sino ka pa. Nangangako

    Pagdating sa venue, nanatili ako sa sasakyan habang sinusuri muna ng organizers ng kasal namin ang lahat bago kami magsimula. Napatingin ako sa abalang tao na nakaupo sa mga upuan. Mayroon lang kaming isang daang bisita para sa araw na ito dahil ayaw kong mag-imbita ng marami. At saka, wala akong masyadong kaibigan. I lost contact with my high school friends the moment we migrate here. Isa pa, hindi rin ganoon ka-close si nanay sa mga kamag-anak ni tatay dahil pareho silang tumakas sa kanilang tahanan noong ako ay kasama nila. At hindi ko siya masisisi dahil doon. Kaya si mama lang, si Nathan, at ilan sa mga kaklase ko from Anastolgia High like Ember. Kaya karamihan ay pamilya at mga kamag-anak ni Eion ang mga bisita niya. Nakita ko sina Luke at Hannah na binabati ang mga bisita at sinisiguradong komportable ang lahat. Napatingin sa amin si Tita Maggie at ikinaway ang kanyang mga kamay. Nakaupo siya sa tabi ng kanyang asawa, si Martin Sawyer na karga-karga ang kanilang isang ta

    "Hindi ko talaga akalain, sa ating tatlo, na ikaw ang unang ikakasal, Snow." Sabi ni Emma habang naglalagay ng powder sa kanyang mukha gamit ang kanyang makeup brush. “Naku, nagseselos ka ba na siya ang unang ikakasal sa atin, o nagseselos ka dahil gusto mong ikasal sa susunod, Emma?” mungkahi ni Hannah habang naglalagay ng lipstick sa labi. Umikot lang ng mata si Emma, “Well, I didn’t expect na ikaw, sa aming lahat, ang unang nabuntis, Hannah.” Gumanti siya ng putok, itinuro ang malaking tummy ni Hannah. Si Hannah ay pitong buwan nang buntis sa anak ni Leroy. Maging ako ay nagulat sa biglaang balita. Hindi ko ito inaasahan. Natawa si Hannah doon at kinindatan ako, “This is your time girl. Lumiwanag na parang brilyante." Natawa na lang ako sa kanila, napakagat labi sa sobrang kaba na nararamdaman ko ngayon. Nasa dressing room talaga kami habang suot ni Hannah ang kanyang magandang royal blue na bridesmaid dress. Pinili namin ang royal blue dahil ito ang paboritong kulay ni Eio

    SNOW’S POV "Snow, may pinadala sa iyo," sabi ni Nanay pagkagising ko. Kinuha ito at binuksan, ito ay mga bulaklak at tsokolate, na may sulat-kamay na tala na alam ko nang lubos. Kay Eion iyon. Pagkabasa nito, napangiti ako sa sinabi niya sa loob ng note. "Sa aking magandang niyebe sa aking taglamig na puso, ito ay para sa iyo. Hindi ko nakakalimutan ang anniversary natin." ito ang naging taktika niya for the past 4 years every time na anniversary namin. Then, my phone beep and Eion texted me. Nagustuhan mo ba ang mga bulaklak at tsokolate? Iyon lang ang teaser. Kakain tayo mamaya ng 7pm. Huwag magpahuli. - iyong strawberry addict robot Natawa ako sa nickname na itinakda niya sa phone ko bilang caller ID niya.

Siya ay tumatakbo sa paligid para sa buong umaga. Humihingi ako ng pasensya." Sagot ng yaya niya. Bumuntong hininga ako, “Let’s stop chasing him for now. I'm sure mapapagod ka agad at kakain." sabi ko, pinaalis ang pagod niyang yaya. ako Naglakad ako patungo sa dining table kung saan nakaupo ang asawa ko at nag-aalmusal. “Honey, pwede bang tawagan mo si Justin? Pagod na ang yaya niya sa pag-aalaga sa kanya nitong mga araw na ito. Kailangan niyang kumain ng kanyang almusal." “Oo, honey.” Sagot ng asawa ko habang nagbabasa ng diyaryo sa umaga. "Halika na Justin, sweetheart. Huwag i-stress ang iyong ina. Malapit nang dumating ang kapatid mo kung ipagpapatuloy mo iyan….” Narinig ko ang huni ng asawa ko.

    POV ni Emma Well, I trust Eion,” sagot ni Snow sa tanong ko habang tinitingnan ang oras sa kanyang wristwatch. Bumuntong-hininga, tumayo siya at kinuha ang kanyang bag. "Kailangan kong pumunta ngayon." I just rolled my eyes at her, "Yeah yeah, go to your strawberry addict robot now and leave your bitter and lonely friends." She just chuckled at me and bid her goodbyes, with Hannah encouraging her also. "Kunin mo ang lalaki mo, Snow." She winked at lumabas ng ice cream shop. Sa pag-alis ni Snow, naiwan kaming dalawa ni Hannah ngayon. Lumingon ako sa kanya, “Ano ang dapat nating gawin ngayon? Kakaalis lang ng kaibigan natin at naiinip na ako." reklamo ko sa kanya. Tila walang naririnig na salita si Hannah na sinasabi ko habang ang mga sulok ng kanyang mga labi ay lumingon upang bumuo ng isang ngiti. Oh hindi. Alam ko ang ginagawa niya. napabuntong hininga ako. Maya-maya lang, tumunog ang phone niya at pilit niyang pinindot ang sagot. “Oh siya, babe. Anong meron?” Oh right, si L

    Pinatay niya ang mga ilaw. Ang kanyang mga labi ay patuloy na gumagawa ng mga kababalaghan sa akin. Ang halik na ito ay iba sa alinman sa aming huling pagkakataon. Bumaba ang mga halik niya sa leeg ko, pababa sa collarbone ko. Parang gusto niyang matikman ang lahat, bawat pulgada sa akin. Hindi ko napigilang isigaw ang pangalan niya, "Ugh.

Nakagat ko ang labi ko, nakatingala sa kanya habang nakatitig siya sa kaluluwa ko, tinutusok ako ng emerald eyes niya. He gulped, almost like in an pain, “Say that again. Tawagin mo ulit ang pangalan ko, Snow." Ginawa ko ang sinabi niya sa akin, "Eion." Para siyang nakikipagdebate sa sarili, pinipigilan ang sarili sa isang bagay hanggang sa bumulong siya ng isang sumpa, “Damn Snow. Ano ang ginagawa mo sa akin?" Tanong niya na ngayon ay humihinga.
