8 Years Gap

Gap #54

"Hey, why did you bring me along? Want to go on a date with me alone?" Eto na naman yung ngiti niyang pang-asar. 

"No, I brought you alone because you should have not said that." Di niya naman siguro nakalimutan nuh? (ーー;)

"Hmm, why?" Nakalimutan niya na nga. (=~=)

"Night time at the beach later would be the proposal. Let Ate Iyah rest before it happens." Deretso ko explain sa kanya dahil halatang nakalimutan niya talaga.

"Right, I forgot about that." Ngumiti na lang siya at tumango.

Bumili kami ng drinks para hindi mahalata ni Ate Iyah at hindi siya maghinala sa pinagusapan namin. 

"Change of plans, I want to rest." Akto ni Kuya Yumi na parang pagod at napabuntong hininga naman si Sean sa likod ni Ate Iyah. Napagaan siguro loob niya nung maalala ni Kuya Yumi na dapat sumunod kami sa schedule na ginawa niya.

"What? Then let's go together, Angeli." Hila sa akin ni Ate Iyah sa braso, pero pinigilan ko siya.

"Sorry, but I also wanted to rest." Sakit talaga ng pakiramdam ko kapag nagsisinungaling ako. Di kaya ng konsensya ko. (╥﹏╥)

"Huh? Why? Are you okay?" Mukhang nagaalala pa siya sa akin. Nakaka-guilty. (╥﹏╥)

"I'm fine. Jet lag, I guess." Sino ba majejet lag sa halos dalawang oras na byahe sa eroplano?

Nakita ko si Kuya Yumi na mahinang tumatawa sa likod ni Sean. Langya ka, kung di mo lang talaga kinalimutan. (╥﹏╥)

"Oh, okay then let's return to the villa." Buti slow pala si Ate Iyah. (／。＼)

"Thank you po." Ngiti ko na lang sa kanya. Di na kaya ng konsensya ko, pero para rin naman 'to sa kanya eh. Surprise her na lang. (^ω^) 

"Sure, anything for you." Nung niyakap niya ako, nagsign gesture ako ng, "No problem!" kay Sean and he smiled at me.

Pagkabalik namin, pumasok kami ni Ate Iyah sa kwarto namin at napahiga na lang ako sa kama at siya naman ay umupo sa kama niya.

"Why do you look sad, Ate Iyah?" Tanong ko sa kanya kasi sobrang lungkot ng mata niya. Naglakad siya papunta sa balcony at sumunod na lang din ako.

"Thinking that maybe later, the woman whom Sean was with will be here, I don't know what to say. Maybe the one who's at fault was Sean because he's two-timing us or maybe it's her fault for seducing even though knowing that he has a fiancee. I don't know what to say to her because maybe it's my karma for hurting you and Yumi just because he didn't love me back then." Unti-unting tumulo luha niya nung sinasabi niya yun sa akin.

"Or maybe it's not all of that. Maybe there's a reason behind it and all of what you said were not part of it. There can be a communication in every complication, so just be positive and let's see what will happen." Ngumiti na lang ako sa kanya at niyakap niya ako.
