Helveryst Series #2 : The Cassanova and The Hater

Chapter 42 - Long Distance Relationship

"Peut-elle faire de l'escalade ou de la randonnée ? Elle doit faire ça pour la séance photo," the guide asked and glanced at me.

Pinag-uusapan ba nila ako?

Our translator nodded."Je parie qu'elle peut. Elle fait toujours de la gymnastique pour que son corps soit souple. Zeriel aimerait ça."

Ngayon alam kong ako talaga dahil namention ang pangalan ko. They weren't backstabbing me right?! Porket hindi namin sila naiintindihan ni Caroline.

I secretly typed something on my phone without them knowing. I guess I have to use a translator to talk to them. Kung bakit pa kase hindi English speaker ang kinuha nilang guide namin.

"Pouvez-vous aller un peu plus vite ? Je m'ennuie ici," I said out of a sudden.

Bigla na lang huminto ang sasakyan at napatingin silang lahat sa'kin, nakaawang ang bibig. Are they surprised about my French sentence or I just said it wrong. Malay ko ba, binasa ko lang naman at hindi pinakinggan kung paano ba 'yon sabihin.

"You used a translator, didn't you?" Pinanliitan niya ako mata.

I rolled my eyes heavenwards."Ano pa ba sa tingin mo? Naririndi na ako sa boses niya at hindi man lang ipinaliwanag ng translator natin kung anong pinag-uusapan nila. I heard my name, Carol! They're talking about me!"

"And so? Why do you have to act like that? Baka naman may tinatanong lang tungkol sa'yo or what." Iniwan niya ako rito sa loob ng kotse na mag-isa dahil nakalabas na silang lahat.

Great! Just great! They abandoned the model they needed for their so-called project. Should I be grateful?

Gano'n nga ang ginawa namin pagdating. They just informed me that I'm going to do rock climbing or hiking. Gosh! May konting fear of heights ako. What if I'm not doing it right?

Ilang oras ko 'yong ginawa dahil masyado akong takot kapag mataas na ang akyat ko. I'm shouting like a crazy woman and asking for some help to put me back on the ground. The scenario was just going around the circle.

The thought of resting after that tiring activity faded when they called a fashionista to dress me up. Pinalitan nila ang suot ko ng pang-summer dress. Ilalagay daw nila ako sa tuktok kase maganda ang view. Gosh! It was already 5 PM yet they didn't want me to rest. Hindi pa rin daw kase nagdidilim kaya susulitin nila.

Yeah. Bakit ba kase ang tagal mag-sunset dito sa France?

"Everything's okay now. You can have your rest, Ms. Knoxville. The photoshoot tomorrow will depend on what time does you want to start." Our translator told me.

Tumango lang ako at tuluyan nang pumasok sa room ko. For the whole day, Caroline was holding my phone so I didn't know if Shael called or texted. Wala rin naman siyang sinabi na kung ano. Damn her! What if he really did but turned it off because it will disturb me? Malalagot talaga siya sa'kin 'pag nagkataon.

I texted him to call me if he's not busy. Maghihintay ako sa reply niya at kung wala siyang oras ay matutulog na lang ako. What should I wait for? Siya lang naman ang dahil kung bakit nagpapagabi akong matulog.

I decided to post two pictures of my photoshoot earlier. And isa ay nagro-rock climbing ako at ang isa naman ay 'yong naka-dress ako sa taas, wearing shades and summer hat. Kumbaga, sneak peak lang sa mga naging travel ko rito since hindi naman lahat makakakuha ng album ko pagbalik.

My photo was captioned 'Supposed to go hiking with him but he's not here'. I giggled after posting that. I wonder what would be his reaction.

@alitheloveliest: Ganyan talaga ang pag-ibig~~
