Tumayo na ako and I saw the girls na nakatayo na rin 'di kalayuan sa amin ni Aga, we went to their direction at sabay kaming lumabas ng eroplano like what other passengers did.

Cae is at my left side habang si Aga ang tahimik na naglalakad sa right side ko. Sa likod naman namin ang kambal na halos 'di na maipaghiwalay.

Boracay's air greeted us with glee, mistulang winelcome kami ng hangin dito. I've been here multiple times already but I still can't help not to praise Borocay for having such clean environment.

Tapos na ang procedures namin and now, we are waiting a cab to ride on. It's almost 9:00 pm na rin, we already ate dinner back at Manila so I doubt gutom 'tong mga kasama ko.

"Where are we exactly going to, Muhlach?" I asked Aga. After what he said earlier, feel ko nailang na akong kasama siya.

As much as possible, ayaw kong tarayan siya.

"We're going to stay on my private island, 'di siya kalayuan from here. Maybe, fifteen minutes of driving will do." wika niya.

Pivate island? 'Di na ako nagtataka, he's rich.

"Wait, are you talking about the Island na Grandma bought you months ago, Dad? 'Yong malapit sa sikat na Poseidon's Crest?" I heard Ara asked kaya napatingin ako sa gawi nila.

I heard about Poseidon's Crest before. It's a small resort occupying the small island. Isa iyan sa mga pinagmamalaki ng Boracay.

"Yup, malapit ang AM island sa Poseidon's Crest kaya in case you're bored in our own island, pwedeng-pwede kayong mamasyal sa Poseidon's Crest." he answered na ikinataas ng kilay ko.

"AM Island?" I asked nonchalant, napakamot siya sa batok niya at alanganang tumango.

"That's the name of my Island. Actually, since gift 'yon sakin nina Mama, Annie was the one who named it. Pangalanan ba naman ng AM? Ayon sa kanya, maganda raw dahil english version ng pangalan ko." he explained. 'Di ko maiwasan ang di mapangiti dahil 'dun, AM? How ironic.

"Still the clever Annie that I know." I said, Aga's younger sister, Annie, was one of my acquaintances back then.

We lost our connection when Aga and I separated.

"Yeah, kahit may asawa't anak na." he added, tumango lang ako.

Maya maya pa'y may tumigil na taxi sa harap namin kaya agad kaming sumakay and told him to bring us to Poseidon's Crest, 'di nagtagal ang byahe at nandito na kami sa Poseidon's Crest.

As expected, medyo matao ang lugar kasi nga, sikat. Instead of going to the main direction kung saan ang entrance ng resort, lumiko kami at pumunta sa seaside.

There I found a yacht waiting for us. An attendant welcomed us and guided us papasok ng yate.

"You own this Yacht?" tanong ko kay Aga, 'di naman masyadong malaki ang yate, enough for 15 people to occupy.

"Yup." he answered and nodded.

Nag-simula ng umandar ang yate and I can't stop myself not to be amazed by the view. The girls are taking some pictures habang tahimik ko lang pinagmamasdan ang dagat. Ang gaan sa pakiramdam.

The ride lasted for ten minutes which is quick, I still can see the Poseidon's Crest from here.

Inalayan kami ni Aga pababa ng yate while the attendants took care of our belongings. Bumungad sa amin ang isang malaking bahay.

It's a villa according to Aga. It's pretty much modernized kaya ang ganda tignan sa labas.

He guided us the way at 'di ko maiwasan ang 'di mamangha the moment we entered the villa.

"There are five rooms here in total, pumili lang kayo ng magiging kwarto niyo." Aga announced.

Excited namang tumungo sa second floor ang mga bata, this villa is pretty huge. Tumungo ako sa labas, sa porch to be exact upang magpahangin.

"Babes?" I heard Aga called, he's holding a glass of wine and offered me one, agad ko naman tinanggap 'yon. Nakansandal ako sa nakabukas na pintuan at gano'n rin si Aga on my opposite side.

"Thank you." I muttered. Tahimik lang kami habang nakatingin sa kawalan.

Well, not exactly. Ang ganda kasi ng view. Kitang-kita mo ang dagat.

"You like my island?" Aga asked. Like is an understatement.

"I love it!" wika ko and I saw a mischievous smile on his lips.

"Buti naman, I thought 'di mo kasi magustuhan dito."

"Thanks for bringing us here anyway." I said, he smiled and raised his glass.

"Cheers?"

I smiled too and raised mine "Cheers!" sabay na pumutok ang fireworks sa Poseidon's Crest na kita pa hanggang dito.

AM Island, you're beyond magical!
