Unbind the Strings

Six

The chef served us an appetizer. It was a foie gras terrine with rhubarb. Putek, parang leche flan lang naman 'to. Kai and Gab had a blue prawn tartare. Choosy sila, char.

"What's your choice for main course?" Jay asked.

I looked at the menu and saw a selection of Fish and Meat. You can choose between roasted lobster or roasted pigeon. There are other options as well.

"I'll have the pork pluma with white asparagus, please. Thank you." I said while telling the chef.

"Ano ba 'tong mga pinapakain mo saamin, Jay? Ang konti, hindi nakakabusog. Hanap tayo samgyup mamaya?" Neil suggested while finishing his food.

"Hoy 'wag nga kayong ganyan! Effort niya 'to 'no. Appreciate nalang naten, ikaw nga umubos ng pagkain ko eh!" Reklamo ni Kai habang nakatingin kay Neil.

Gab was just taking pictures of the place and of course, the food. We finished the meal with a dessert and went out of the restaurant. We also took some group pictures and Polaroid films. 

We went to the night street market and tried some of their street foods. It has a wide selection of foods. We tried eggettes, siomai, dimsum and a lot more.

We got tired and decided to call it a day. We went back to the hotel to gain some energy before going to the Disneyland tomorrow. Before entering our room, I stopped walking and started to face him.

"Thank you so much for tonight." I smiled widely.

"Your happiness is all that matters to me." He said and while giving me a warm hug.

"As soon as you turn eighteen, I will officially ask you out. But I have to ask your mom about it." He chuckled.

"I know. I can wait. Anytime." I said while escaping his hug.

"Make sure to wait for me, ha?" He said with a hope in his eyes. "Go rest na, big day tomorrow. You have to sleep so you'll have lots of energy for the rides. Wear something comfortable this time, okay?"

I nodded and smiled back. Tonight is magical. Sobra akong nag enjoy. I had a lot of fun and it was great seeing him right now. The effort that he made makes my heart flutter.

I entered the room and saw Gab doing her skin care. She looked at me and smiled like she wants me to tell her something.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked.

"Chika! Kwento naman dyan! Ano balita? Kailan pa 'yan ha?" She keeps on asking me.

"Right after the Christmas concert, I saw him with Seah and I got the wrong perception so he went to our house to clarify things...and he said I should wait for him hanggang sa mag eighteen ako so we could make it legal..."

"Yes you have to! Just wait for him saka enjoyin niyo muna 'yung time na magkasama kayo."

"But, do you have any idea saan siya pupunta? Why does he have to leave?" nagtataka kong tanong.

"Uh, I actually don't know the reason but I can't tell you paano siya aalis eh. Pangit naman kapag saakin nanggaling. He will tell it to you eventually, wait ka lang ha?" She assured me.
