Chapter 2: A Father’s Risk
IANNE’S POV
“Ah, wala po iyon. Actually, para naman po ito kay Tribal. Sya talaga yung may gusto na mag-participate kami sa event na ‘toh.” Sabay tawa at medyo labas pa sa ilong.
Okay fine, hindi na ako mag-mamaang-maangan. Ayoko naman talaga sumali dito ee~ Nung una excited ako pero after ng ilang oras na paglalakad? What the hell!!! I’m tired! I’m thirsty! My feet and legs are killing me!!! I just want to go home and enjoy a bubble bath. T___T
“Sobrang laki pong bagay ang pagsama ninyo… lalo na at kasama si Bench Hernandez? Dumami rin ang mga participants namin dahil sa kanya. At nagbigay pa kayo malaking donasyon, hindi namin alam kung paano kayo papasalamatan.” Patuloy pa rin ang kausap sa akin ng coordinator ng event. Medyo gumaan na rin ang loob ko sa kabilang banda. Syempre, it may not look like it but I like helping other people. And for Tri’s sake, our nature. :)
“Don’t mention it, you’re welcome. Anyway… I need to go back to Tribal. Might as well rest, nakakapagod pala talaga ‘tong hiking no?” sabi ko at nagpaalam na sa kanya. Hinanap ko kung nasaan sila.
Dito kasi sa lugar kung saan kami nagpapahinga, may kanya- kanyang business ang mga tao. Mayroong nagpapahinga lang talaga habang nakikipag-usap sa ibang mga participants dito, meron namang kumukuha ng mga pictures as memories, at meron namang nakikipagsiksikan para makahingi ng tubig na pinamimigay ng mga staff… at syempre, hindi mawawala yung nakikipagsiksikan para makapagpa-cute kay Bench ngayon.

“Kylie. Let’s talk.” I looked back and saw Xave. He’s got a serious face. The tone of his voice is plain but sharp. Napalunok ako. Did I do something? Xave’s sounds mad. (>__<)
“About what, Xave?” I was playing with my fingers. Nakatungo lang ako, I can’t look at him. Xave’s such a sweetheart pero kapag may nagawa akong mali….
“Hindi na ako magpapaliguy- ligoy, Kylie. I’m disappointed in you.” he straightly told me, without even a blink of an eye. After what he said… I felt a pinch in my heart. I…disappoint him?
“B-Bakit? A-Anong ginawa ko?” I asked instantly right after. What did I do to disappoint him? We’re okay this morning, even at the start of the event… it’s not like may ginawa akong mali diba?
“Why are we here? It’s for Tribal, to support him, spend quality time with him and make sure he’ll have fun. And where were you the whole time? With Bench.” He said with a bit of edge in his voice. Napakunot ako ng noo.
