Scar of the Wind

"I swear to God," I mocked him while making a face. "Tiktoker ka?" umupo ako sa kama.

"I'm not lying," he handed me a reservation ticket. I rolled my eyes bago padabog na kinuha 'yon.

Nang tinignan ko ito ay nakalagay nga ang name ni tito Cef roon. Ngumisi siya bago ko pa ibalik sa kan'ya 'yon. I stood up and looked around. May balcony at pwedeng lumabas through a wooden sliding door. Tumayo ako at tinignan naman ang bathroom. It was sort of the same size with the bedroom. Two bathtubs and a shower, and the other side has a long sink and mirror.

Nang nadaanan ko siya ay inaayos niya ang mga dala naming bag. He was crouching. It was just clothes and some snacks, though. Ang iba ay tinatransfer niya sa small fridge.

"How long we'll be staying here?" tanong ko nang bumalik sa loob.

"Maybe a week?"

"What the hell?" I reached the pillow on the bed at binato 'yon sa kaniya. He just laughed at me, as always. "I have to go home as soon as possible!"

I sat on the bed while I was glaring at him. Pinulot niya ang unan na binato ko sa kan'ya. Nagsimula siyang maglakad papunta sa direksyon ko.

His face was serious and I was raising a brow para makita niyang hindi ako takot sa kan'ya. He leaned in front of me while his hands were touching the bed, one holds the pillow.

My face remained the same until he went closer. What the heck is he doing? The atmosphere tightened.

My eyes widened when our lips were just an inch away. I turned my face to the right side and he did the same. He smirked while catching my face like it was a game.

Maslalo lang tumaas ang kilay ko. Agad kong tinungkod ang dalawang siko sa gilid bago ko tinaas ang isa kong paa. I kicked his abdomen so he moved back and stood up. Natuwa ako sa ginawa ko nang makitang may bakas ng dumi ng sapatos sa white shirt niya.

"I was joking," he made a fist in front of his mouth, laughing.

I rolled my eyes, "Joker na itatawag ko sayo," I said in a monotone, I was determined. He's always making fun of me.

He chuckled and bit his lower lip, "Baby na itatawag ko sayo," ginaya niya ang tono ko saka ngumiti.

I scoffed in disbelief, "You dumbass!" tumayo ako at tumakbo palapit sa kaniya.

He was just walking backwards but I couldn't reach him for Pete's sake! Kating-kati na ang kamay kong saktan siya.

I was gritting my teeth the whole time like an annoyed kid. But he was just laughing and avoiding my hands effortlessly. His direction was going back to bed kaya nang makatapat siya sa kama, I pulled his hair.

"Aray ko," he said many times but he was laughing. He is so annoying!

Binitawan ko na siya at tinignan ng masama. His right hand was fixing his hair, he even did a soundless laugh while doing it.

Kumakain na kami ngayon ng dinner sa isang restaurant na parte parin ng resort. Ang schedule namin dito ay 7 PM. Mas namangha lang ako nang makita ang mga ancestral buildings pero sa loob talaga nito ay modern hotel rooms.

"Don't get mad na, uuwi rin naman tayo bukas," he's trying so hard for me to talk.

I rolled my eyes before I sipped on my cocktail which was served earlier. We left the place when we're done eating.
