The Runaway Groom

TRG ~ 44

When we entered the villa, it's kind of quiet. Well, it's really serene here but I can see some locals and employees here yesterday. They're just romaing around and keeping up with our demands. They have a good service here kahit na private resort ito. And I don't think I have to wonder since Apollo owns it. He's good in managing.

Kakaunti lang daw ang pinapayagan niyang pumunta rito. His family members, some friends and relatives. He said he doesn't want to lose the serenity and beauty of this place.

Anyway, nasaan na kaya 'yong ibang staffs dito? May iba akong nakikita pero tila nagmamadali sila. Hindi ko na sila pinansin at pumasok na lang sa kwarto namin. There's a queen size bed inside. Dalawa kami ni Soffia na natutulog dito. Gusto pa nga niyang mag-solo at sinabi pang tumabi na lang ako kay Apollo pero iningusan ko lang siya.

Ewan ko roon sa bf ko, nagka-allergy na yata sa akin. Ayaw yatang mapag-isa kami sa isang kwarto. Nagka-phobia nga kaya siya sa ginawa ko noon nang malasing ako?

After taking a bath, bumaba na ako kasama si Soffia. Kakain daw muna kami ng meryenda sa baba. It's only 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The sun's heat is still radiating.

"They prepared grilled seafoods for dinner." Apollo informed us.

"Yes!" Artemis blurted.

"Not for you, Temi.." Naningkit ang mata nito sa kapatid. "I asked them to prepare something else for you."

His sister pouted in defiance.

"Why is that?"

"She have allergies with seafoods.."

He sat beside me. Napakunot-noo ako nang maramdaman na hindi siya mapakali. Hindi ko iyon nakikita sa mukha niya pero nasa galaw niya. He's playing with my fingers absentmindedly.

"Hey, are you okay?" I asked him worriedly.

He heavily sighed and I became more anxious with his actions.

"Uy, Apollo. Kailangan ka raw doon." Soffia said.

Huh? Kailangan saan?

"I just need to prepare something." Kimi ang ngiti niyang paalam sa akin.

He kissed my cheeks bago umalis. Hinatid ko siya ng tingin sa kanyang pag-alis. There's really something off with him. I just can't pinpoint..

"May problema lang yata sa isang cottage." Soffia explained nonchalantly.

"Bakit mo alam?"

"Eh sa alam ko, paki mo ba?" Inis niyang sagot sa akin.

I pouted at her. Suplada pa rin talaga.

"Huwag ka ngang clingy! Babalik din naman 'yon!"

"Soffia.." Babala rito ni Dazzel.

He's been silent throughout this whole vacation. Paminsan-minsan lang siya kung magsalita. He's my friend so I invited him. Siguro nga'y nagkagusto siya sa akin noon but I don't think he still feels the same way.

Nakatanggap din si Dazzel ng irap mula sa pinsan ko.

"Come on, Freesh, pasyal muna tayo." Imbita sa akin ni Lily Jane at Tanya kaya sumama na lang ako.

"Can I join?"

Nagulat ako sa biglaang tanong ni Venice but I smiled at her nang makabawi.

"Of course."

Ilang minuto kaming naglalakad lang sa buhangin nang magpasya ang dalawang umalis. Ewan ko ba sa mga iyon. Mag-iimbita tapos iiwanan din ako. We strolled more and we found this big wood so we decided to sit there.
