Embracing the Chaos (Eclipse Series #1)

Chapter 28

Kinabukasan pagtapos kong gumraduate, Eclipse asked me to join their staycation since the celebration is for me. Staycation daw kami sa baguio dahil finals exam nila next week. Dapat kami lang talaga ni Axel, but dahil gusto rin nilang sumama, I agreed.

For sure I will miss them too.

Lulan kaming anim ng isang van at panay ang kantwanan nila, nagkakantahan pa ang mga ito habang si Sevasti ang nagd-drive. Panay din ang tawanan at asaran nila kaya kahit na wala pa man parang namimiss ko na ka agad sila.

"Sa Paris ka na mag-aaral niyan?" Tanong ni Evan na siyang nasa kabilang side ko, si Axel naman ang nasa kanan. "Mamimiss kita!"

Napangiti ako dahil sa sinabi nito, dahil ba ako ang unang girlfriend ni Axel na pinakilala niya sa kanila kaya sila ganito? Ang sweet nila pero hindi gaanong halata? Basta, ramdam ko na they care.. ang sarap sa pakiramdam n'on.

"Oo, e. Bakit? bibisitahin niyo ba ako r'on?" Pagbibiro ko, Evan shrugged before smirking.

Hindi na siya nagsalita pa after noon, malapit narin naman na kami. When we reached the Lion's Head, bumaba na kami.

"City of pines, here we go!"

Napatawa ako nang hyper silang nagsibaba sa kotse nila, nakamasid lang kami ni Axel bago sabay na nagkibit balikat. Pansin ko na kanina pa siya tahimik at malalim ang iniisip.

"Namiss ko rito, we always going back and fourth here before.." I said, nilingon ko siya at nakita kong pumikit ito ng mariin. I cling my arms on his much tighter, "Okay ka lang?"

That's brought his attention back to me, he gave me a small smile to assure me na he is. But for some reason, it doesn't felt right? Or baka ako lang? Ewan ko, ah. Baka nag-ooverthink lang ako na hindi okay ang lahat.

Hinila ko na siya papalapit kela Eiffel, they looks like they having so much fun. We went to the Burnham Park first which is the first one written on our list. They call it 'Mother of all Parks.' Ang ganda rito, I want to ride a boat.

It's an open green park, it's nice to be here when you want to sort out something.

Everything feels serene, I couldn't ask for more. Puro tawanan lang namin ang halos maririnig mo habang lulan kami ng isang bangka, panay ang pang-iinis sa akin nila Eiffel. Binabasa ba naman ako! Kainis!

"Epal niyo naman, e!" I pouted while hiding behind's Axel back who's also laughing with them. "Pati ba naman ikaw?!" Mas lalo akong sumimangot, he laughed before he hid me.

Nanahimik din sila kalaunan but still having fun on their own. Nasa likod kami ni Axel, sinandal ko ang ulo ko sa balikat niya. The scenery here superb, the beauty of Burnham lagoon, it's the picturesque of this lake.

After touring around in the Burnham park, we decided to go to the Strawberry Farm in La Trinidad. We can't miss it out lalo na ngayong natabunan ng ulap ang tirik na tirik na araw.

Later babalik na lang daw kami ng Burnham Park for the picnic grove since may dala na kaming pagkain na luto ni Sevasti, Axel at Kyro. I want to experience picnic too!

Mga 30 minutes lang ata ang naging byahe namin from the Baguio town proper. La Trinidad is where you will find the hectares of land dedicated to growing strawberries to supply the rest of the country. Isa itong tourist spot, that's why I listed it down.

We enter inside, nagdala rin kami ng basket. We will do a strawberry picking, sa sobrang excited ko ay panay ang hila ko kay Axel na nagpapatianod lang sa akin. Gusto ko kasi ng fresh strawberries, I want to try their ice creams too. Ang dami kong gustong gawin!

Dahil May, the activity is still open. Gusto ko kasi talagang ako ang fresh at ako ang kukuha pero pwede ring naman bumili na lang sa may exit. Nauna na akong maglakad sa kanila dahil ang babagal! I looked at them with a wide smile on lips, I waved my hands as I run.
