Race's POV
I don't know how I got back to my apartment. All I could remember is that I go to bar with the guys and got wasted.
Napabangon ako sa pagkakahiga at napapikit nang makadama ng kirot sa ulo. My vission's still spinning. Parang dinudurog ang utak ko.
Siguro sila Enzo ang naghatid sa akin pauwi. Hindi ko na halos maalala.
Tatayo na sana ako nang bigla na lamang may kumatok sa pinto.
I strode towards the door and pulled it, revealing the confused look on Trish's face.
"I sent you thousands of m
Thank you for reading! :)
Race's POVIt's kinda unusual to me. Medyo naiilang ako na may babae akong kasama sa bahay. Siguro maga-adjust pa ko nito sa mga susunod na araw.I am preparing for school since I did not attend my morning classes. Kakatapos ko lang din maligo. Ang kagandahan lang ay may sarili akong kwarto rito. May sarili akong privacy."What time you going home?" Trish asked me when I went out of my room."Around 4pm. Why?"Lumapit siya sa akin at saka ako inabutan ng pera. I just looked at it."Buy us food. I want vegetables for dinner." She said
Race's POVI already told Lucas that Trish will join us in the trip to Batangas. They just agreed that's why Lorenzo decided to bring the van instead of his four seater car. Doon na lang din ilalagay ang mga luggage namin at kung ano-ano pang mga dadalhin.I am done packing my things. Everything was compromised. Wala naman din kasi ako masiyadong dadalhin. Mga damit lang pamalit. Besides, it just two days and two nights. Hindi naman kami magtatagal sa Batangas.The road trip will start by four at the afternoon. Sa circle magkikita-kita ang lahat. I don't know why but I am excited to see Zena though we always have time to chat in messenger about random things. I am just longing to see her. I badly want to see her.I went out of the room and walked towards Trish's room. I knocked on the door."Come in!" She yelled.
Race's POVThe whole ride took hours. Gabing-gabi na nang makarating kami sa pent house. Matatagpuan ito malayo sa siyudad, tago sa maiinit na mga mata ng publiko. It was surrounded by trees and tall grasses.Nang makababa sa van, ako na ang nagpresintang magdala ng gamit ni Zena.Sinalubong kami ng isang ginang. She smiled upon seeing us. Lucas took her hand and blessed. Ginawa rin namin 'yon isa-isa."She's lola Sinya, the care taker of the pent house. And that little guy," Lucas pointed his finger to the kid running towards us. Agad itong yumakap sa binti ni Lucas nang makarating. "He's Dillan. Lola Sinya's grandchild. Sila lang ang tao rito sa pent house."We all went inside the house. It was pretty huge. Since we're not going to stay inside, sa iisang kwarto na lang namin nilagay lahat ng bagahe.Everyo
Race's POV"Hey? Pwede ba kitang maabala saglit?" I asked Lucas while holding the camera in my hand. Napatingin siya sa hawak ko."Sure." He replied."I just want to shoot you. Just introduce yourself and answer my question." I explained. Now, I got all of their attention. Lahat sila nagsilapitan sa akin at nakisilip sa camera ko nang itapat ko ito kay Lucas.Everyone's waiting for him to speak up even though I haven't press the button yet."Ah. This is kinda awkward for me. Nakakahiya. Nanunood kayong lahat, e." Sabi niya sabay kamot sa batok.
Race's POVMy heart was beating so fast. Hiningal ako bigla kahit wala naman akong ginagawa. Kinabahan ako sa hindi ko malaman na kadahilanan. Staring at her eyes brought so much fear to me. I couldn't breathe properly. I was drowning, sinking deeper and deeper."L-let me—" Hindi ko na natapos pa ang sinasabi nang tumalikod siya sa akin at dali-daling naglakad papalayo.I ran immediately just to reach her. She keeps on ignoring me calling for her name. Parang wala siyang naririnig."Hey," I said the moment I held her hand. I pulled her to me and the fear just suddenly grew more intense the moment our eyes met. Nawalan ako bigla nang sasabihin. Tila nalunok ang
Race's POVI accepted my fate. Tanggap ko na ang lupa ang siyang sasalo sa akin. But I was wrong as a pair of hands held me by my armpit. I opened my eyes and saw him. He pulled me up carefully. Tila ba isa akong bata na manghang-manghang nanunuod sa isang magician.I never thought I will be saved. Akala ko lupa na ang kababagsakan ko."Thank you, Lucas." I said afterwards. He was panting for air as his palms were pressed on his knees."I should have known earlier edi sana hindi pa nangyari sa inyo 'to. Muntik ka nang mapahamak, Kuya." He said in between his deep breaths."Sorry." I
Race's POV"Well, I'm not that stone-hearted to do this, I'll lower my pride and give this yellow strip of paper to that bitch who walked away, Gail. I didn't mean to be rude over her. It just that ugh! Everyone knows she's bitch, right!" Saka itinapon ni Trish 'yong yellow strip sa harapan niya. "And this blue strip will be given to each of everyone. I am thankful to meet all of you. This is such a good memory to keep. Thanks guys!"Kahit na wala sila Gail, Clinton at Lucas dito ay nagpatuloy pa rin kami. When Trish went back to her seat, we heard Lucas shout out. Napalingon kaming lahat sa kanya."Gail, we are all going home tomorrow. Please stay! Wag ka nang umalis." Pakiusap ni Lucas. Clinton was just stopping
Race's POVAfter the trekking, we went down on the beach. I like how the sun reflects on the sea surface. The heat didn't bother me either. I am just enjoying the view as the wind hits me.Doon kami pum'westo sa ilalim ng isang puno kung saan may lilim. I placed all my things on the sand and plopped down."We go change our clothes. Be right back." Wika ni Trish saka hinila si Zena kung saan.May iba rin namang mga tao rito. May mga tourist din na nagkalat. There are rental cottages but we chose to stay on open field. It's free anyway."Enjoy. I'll stay here. Babatanyan ko na lang ang
