ALIENS

Our little escapade, as planned, was great. After noong sa sementeryo, itinuloy namin ang pagpasyal sa La Mesa Eco Park and Botanical Garden the next day. We postponed our Dalahican escapade and decided to do it next time.

Our first destination was the Eco Park. It is refreshing and it feels like we were back on our teenage days. The serenity of the place is wonderfully preserved by the province. Tuwang tuwa kaming dalawa ni Natalia because it allowed us to connect with nature in the middle of the city. Refreshing and relaxing, indeed. At syempre hindi mawawala ang sandamakmak na pictures namin ni Natalia. We enjoy it and planned to come back the next time.

After the Eco Park, we headed naman to the Botanical Garden. Gaya ng sa Eco Park, hinayaan namin ang sarili na lasapin ang sariwang hangin ng buong lugar. Mas na-enjoy pa namin dahil may libreng pitas ng mga bulaklak noong mga oras na iyon that's why Natalia and I were really happy.

It was indeed, one of the greatest escapades of my life.

Evening of that day, we treat our bodyguards in a restaurant nearby for patiently waiting for us kahit pa trabaho naman nila iyon. We are still thankful for them. At dahil enjoy pa kami, we relaxed ourselves in DZAB Bar and Dine, ordered drinks and rent a room for karaoke.

"This is really fun!" cheered Natalia after she sang an international song. "Woohh! This is awesome!"

I laughed at her. She's not drunk yet but she looks like one.

"Ang sarap tumakas sa madilim at magulong buhay ng mundo!" she cheered again. I shook my head.

"You looked wasted already," tawa ko sa kaniya. "Dalawang bote pa lang ang nauubos natin."

"I'm not drunk, yet!" she stood up and pulled me up. "Come on! Let's enjoy! Minsan lang 'to!"

"I'm enjoying, Natalia," I said.

"Mag-enjoy ka pa! make it to the highest level!"

I shook my head again and let Natalia enjoy herself more. Gustuhin ko mang maglasing din, wala namang mag-aasikaso kay Natalia dahil nakikita ko na siya pagkatapos ng gabing ito. Wasted.

It was already eleven when I decided to take us home. she was totally drunk so we need to go home.

"Natalia, we're going home," I said to her.

"Huh?! I don't wanna go home! Let's party more!"

"It's late Natalia. Let's go home."

She made a face at bumaba sa sofa. Yumakap siya sa akin na parang bata kaya natawa ako.

"Let's go home now."

"Okay..."

Inalalayan ko siya palabas. Pasalamat ako dahil nakaabang na ang mga bodyguard namin malapit sa sasakyan. Sinalubong nila kami at maingat na inalalayan ang lasing na si Natalia.

"What happened, Miss?" the Bob guy asked. I think he's the leader.

"Nalasing eh. Pakialalayan na lang sa loob ng sasakyan. Salamat." He did what I said at maingat na inalalayan si Natalia sa loob ng sasakyan namin.

Nang masigurong ayos na siya ay umaayos na rin ako. My head is spinning a bit. Hindi talaga malakas ang tolerance ko sa alak.

"Are you okay Miss?" asked Bod while driving.

"Yeah."

"The other Miss is wasted. Mapapagalitan ako ni Boss."

"Don't worry about Charles. Ako na ang bahal sa kaniya." I assured him.
