Beauteous

Chapter 14

Dumating ako sa Celestial building na andoon na sina Chimmy at Stellar. May mga kapeng hawak at nakasuot ng sunglasses. Humikab ako at hinila ang maleta. I didn't sleep well!

Agad akong yumakap sa dalawa na mukhang inaantok din.

Halos andito na ang lahat ng models at staffs na kasama. Si Mrs. De Dios na lang ata ang inaantay.. May van kaming gagamitin papunta sa airport and such.. Sa tingin ko ay sa ibang lugar pa kami bababa at sasakay ng bangka or what..

Napatingin ako kay Chimmy. I don't know if I'll tell them what I've heard last night.. Those twins.. Do they switch always? What if, it's not Xaverian who she met in Ilocos? What if it's the other brother?

Those twins are really something! Especially, Xaverian! He looks so cunning! Halata naman na magkaiba silang dalawa ng kambal niya.. But why Xavier tolerates his brother? I mean fuck the women if he wants to? Babaero.. Buti na lang at umalis si Chimmy sa Ilocos! And I hope they never met again! I don't want Chimmy to settle on that kind of man!

We're all asleep.. It's four in the morning and I am really sleepy! Nasa gitna ako ni Chimmy at Stellar and they are both sleeping on my shoulder. Kinuha ko ang film camera ko at nagpicture habang tulog ang dalawa.. At bumalik sa pagkakatulog.

Halos mapapikit ako sa liwanag noong lumabas kami ng eroplano. I didn't know that the sun wakes up at five!

Nagising ako noong nakita ko ang yacht na sasakyan namin. It's not just one yacht but three! Kinusot ko ang mata ko at hindi makapaniwalang napatingin kung kaninong pangalan ang nasa isang yate.

“Lakas ng Realonda ah?” halakhak ni Stellar. Chimmy just snorted.

With the help of other staffs, nailagay namin ng maayos ang mga bagahe namin sa yate. Everyone is enjoying! I can't stop myself to film the wonderful wavy sea! It's blue everywhere! It looks so surreal.. How the water reflected the sky.. And now it looks like heaven.

I smiled happily when someone took pictures of us. Hindi ko alam kung ilang pictures ang nagawa namin habang nakasakay sa yate. It is magical! The clear blue water looks astonishing as ever!

We stopped in an island, it looks secluded. Then far from the shore, I saw the huge Romualdez' HearthStone.

“This place is more picturesque than we saw online.” nakangiting sabi ni Stellar at kinuhaan ng larawan ang tanawin.

Agad kaming sumama ni Chimmy doon, we posed and smiled. Noong bumaba si Mrs. De Dios ay umayos na kaming lahat. Hawak hawak ko ang maleta ko at pinagpagan ang sapatos na naglagyan ng puting buhangin. It's finer and whiter than I thought!

“Let's go. The owner is waiting for us..” ngisi ni Mrs. De Dios.

May mga dumating na staffs at kinuha ang aming mga gamit. Isinakay nila 'yon sa mga cart at tinulak papunta sa malawak na bahay.

I looked around, it looks so wonderful.. Hindi nila masyadong ginalaw ang mga natural na yaman.. Naglagay lang sila ng kahoy kung saan pupwedeng dumaan ang mga maleta at tao.. But as far as I can see, it's all white sand and water.. The morning breeze is something more now, I can inhale the salt air and cold wind. It's refreshing..

“We should take a lot of pictures here,” sabi ni Chimmy na mukhang excited sa buong lugar.

I am more excited! Nakita ko ang hilera ng jetski at maliliit na bangka. May iilang tao sa malayo, they are having fun I guess? Masyado silang malayo, hindi ko matanaw kung ano ang ginagawa nila..
