"Shit! Move!" sabi ko sa mga taong haharang-harang sa daanan.

The beautiful girl was drowned.

Pareho kaming nahulog sa pool.

Her, losing her balance.

And me, trying to pull her.

I failed.

She pulled all of my weight.

Hindi ko alam kung dahil ba sa katotohanang nakainom din ako kaya wala akong lakas o sadyang malakas lang talaga sya.

Ewan.

I pulled her out of the water.

I carried her.

My heart is pounding hard against my chest.

She's unconscious.

Oh God.

Inilapag ko sya sa gilid ng pool.

Maraming tao ang nakapaligid samin.

"Holy shit! What happened to Emma?" narinig kong sabi ni Catherine, ang lider ng red clover, nang makalapit.

"No time for answer" sabi ko.

Hindi ako nagdalawang isip na e-CPR sya.

I pump her chest.

And blow air into her mouth.

It was almost a kiss but I don't have time to flirt and fantasize right now.

After 3 chest pumps, she coughs.

I heard everyone sighs.

Katulad ko, nabunutan din ng tinik ang mga tao roon.

"Emma?" tanong ko sa kanya.

I gently tap her cheek pero hindi parin sya nagigising.

Inilapit  ko ang mukha sa mukha nya para malaman kung humihinga ba sya.

She is breathing.

Actually, she's snoring.

Hindi ko mapigilan ang mapangiti.

She fell asleep.

She was too drunk to be awake.

Binuhat ko sya.

"She fell asleep" sabi ko kay Catherine.

"Yeah, I can see that"

"Saan ko sya? Ahm, san ko sya ihihiga...er, I mean, nasaan ang kwarto nya?"

I don't want to sound like a maniac.

Natawa si Catherine dahil sa inasta ko.

Lumapit sya sakin.

"Nasa 2nd floor, room 238, sa katapat ng balcony" sabi nya.

"Okay, ahm....we are both wet,er, I mean, our clothes are soaked in water, you're not expecting me to change her clothes, are you?"

Isang mapanuksong ngiti ang ibinigay nya sakin.

"I know you're a good guy Rico, of course yes, you can change her clothes" sabi nya.

Biglang nag-init ang buong mukha ko.

"You're a bad leader" sabi ko.

"You can't expect us to change her clothes now, marami kaming ginagawa. We are still expecting some visitors, and we need to entertain them"
