AILWAG Book 3: Change Of Fate [Completed]

[63] To Go Or Not To Go?

Bumungad sa newsfeed ko ang status update ni Sandy...

Sandy Vasquez

Enjoying the cool breeze from the sea with my Kent here in Palawan. Define relaxation? -- feeling wonderful

Dahil dun ay binisita ko ang profile niya. She has posted a lot of status updates and pictures of the whole gang while they're now in Palawan. Hindi ko maiwasang hindi mapangiti sa mga selfies nila kahit habang nasa byahe sila. How I wish I could go there with them.

"Here we are," Fifth declared. 

Tinago ko kaagad ang iPhone ko sa loob ng purse ko at lumabas na ng cab. Wala ako sa sarili habang nilalabas ni Fifth ang mga gamit namin mula sa compartment. Hanggang sa pagpasok namin sa loob ng airport para ilagay sa x-ray machines ang mga suitcase namin ay nakatingin lang ako sa kawalan. I got this urge of backing out. Ayoko talagang pumunta ng Korea.

"Fifth!"

Sinundan ko ng tingin ang direksyon ng sumigaw. Nakita ko ang Mom ni Fifth na palapit sa amin. She seemed excited and the first thing she did as she approached us is hug me.

"Hi, Crystal. I'm glad you're going with us," sabi niya. Ngumiti ako at saka tumingin kay Fifth. Humalik siya sa Mom niya pagkatapos ay inakbayan ako. "You really look good together. I bet your dad will be happy to see you both."

"Can we save this talk later, Mom? We have to check in now."

Malikot ang tingin ko habang papasok kami sa loob. Nakapila kami pero ang mata ko ay nakafocus sa cellphone ko. Every now and then, panay ang post nila Sandy at Lovely ng status. Halos flinood nga nila ang newsfeed ko tungkol sa bakasyon nila. This is... ARGH! What shall I do?!

Turn na namin sa pila, at ipinaubaya na namin ang baggages namin. Pumasok ulit kami para magbayad ng terminal fee, at one last inspection pa para sa amin. Hinintay ako ni Fifth na makatapos sa inspection pero panay ang lingon ko sa likod. 

"What are you looking at? You keep on looking at whatever."

His mom studied my look so I had to turn to Fifth and gave him a hug. Dang it! I can't keep calm unless I'll do something.

"I'll just go to the restroom. Mauna na kayo sa upuan," sabi ko at mabilis na hinanap ang restroom. Pumunta ako sa restroom at nirelax ang sarili ko. I breathied in and out and even blew twice.

"Keep calm, Gail. Don't do anything ridiculous," I whispered to myself as I washed my hands.

As I dried my hands, I threw one last glance at my reflection on the mirror. Okay, I need to go with Fifth. 'Wag kang mag-iisip ng kung ano.

But for some reason, I checked on my phone again. This time, Chloe's name appeared on my newsfeed with a photo of the scenery of the private's island beach with the caption;

'It's more fun in Palawan.'

"Geez! Bahala na!" bulong ko at kinalas ang phone ko. Tinanggal ko ang sim at itinapon iyon sa garbage can. Naka-save naman sa phone memory ko yung contacts kaya ayos lang kahit bumili ako ng bagong sim mamaya. 

I sneaked out of the restroom and went out hurriedly to look for something and that's when I found myself falling in line infront of the counter's selling tickets going to Palawan.

I'm sorry, Fifth. You know I'm a brat, don't you?

KURT'S POV

"Kurt! Miryenda na!"

I turned my back on them and continued pacing towards the seashore. We arrived here in Palawan yesterday and I hope I could enjoy my vacation here with my folks eventhough I've been in a lot of sh*ts lately.
