Maybe the Night (Limasawa Series 3)

Kabanata 2

I woke up the next day very late and very unsteady. Hinilot ko ang bridge ng aking ilong dahil labis na hilo na nararamdaman.

Una kong hinanap ang cellphone ko pagkagising to check some messages but I remember that I threw it on the sea last night. Tanga! I did my usual morning ceremonies but dahil tanghali na ako nagising ay afternoon ceremonies na siguro ang tawag dito. Charot!

I am now wearing a black tie ribbed skater dress paired with a white flat sandals. I braided my own hair dahil marunong naman ako. Pagkatapos noon ay mabilis akong bumaba sa may lobby para makitawag sa reception. I'm sure they'll allow me.

"Good Afternoon Ms.Cordova. Do you need anything Ma'am?" they asked ng makita akong lumapit sa counter nila.

"Can I have a phone call using your telephone?" I politely asked.

"Sure ma'am!" maligayang sabi ng receptionist tsaka ko nilapitan ang telepono. I dialed our land line mabilis naman itong sinagot ni Manang.

"Hello, this is Cordova residence. How may I help you?" bungad ni manang sa kabilang linya kaya ako bahagyang napahahikhik. She talks so cute.

"Manang! Si Khia po ito. Hahaha" I said dahil ang cute ni Manang sumagot ng call.

"Ay nako anak ikaw pala iyan!" sagi ni Manang tsaka humagikhik.

"May kailangan kaba? Wala ang daddy mo ngayon pero andito naman si Seah, may ibibilan kaba anak?" Manang politely said.

"Pabigay nalang po kay Seah, thank you po." I said then after a few minutes ay si Seah na ang kausap ko.

"Bakit Ate?" Chelseah asked on the other line.

"Can you ask someone to buy me a phone tsaka dalhin dito? O kaya ikaw nalang" I asked while looking at my perfectly polished nails.

"Ate ang mahal ng pamasahe papunta diyan sa island lagoon," she replied.

Chelseah and I are totally different from each other, we have drivers but she prefers to go out riding a tricycle sometimes, she invest more time on studying in our house kahit na summer instead of enjoying on a vacation, she prefers sneakers and loose shirt but I prefer dresses and high heels, ang pagkakapareho lamang namin is we both like cute boys. But despite that, nagkakasundo naman kami.

"You could just ask a driver to drive you here, Chelseah naman." I said. Hindi ko alam ang rason kung bakit allergic si Seah sa mga driver.

"Fine! Ano bang gusto mong phone?" she asked.

"Kahit ano basta matatawagan niyo ako. Send it to my room 'pag dating niyo dito sa beach resort." I said tsaka na binaba ang telepono.

I walked out the lobby, nagpasalamat naman ako sa receptionist. Bumalik ako sa aking kwarto at naglagay muna ng sunscreen dahil medyo maiinit gayong natatakpan naman ng mga puno ang daanan.

Pumunta ako sa may beach at nakita ang maraming tayo doon. May naglalaro ng beach volleyball kaya bahagya akong tumabi sa dadaanan dahil I'm afraid of balls. I mean, yung bola talaga na nilalaro for sports hehe.

Binaba ko ang shades ko dahil sa matinding sikat ng araw. I walked under the tall trees then I suddenly saw a familiar guy hopping on a jet ski. Tinaas ko ang shades ko para makita iyon ng maayos. It was the guy last night. What's his name again? Cyrildrix? He look so extra hot with his kaki shorts. Tanging 'yon lang ang suot niya.

May mga kasama din siyang iilang babae at lalaki which is I think those are his bandmates? I stopped near a stall na nagtitinda ng fruit shake, I ordered and avocado fruit shake tsaka umupo sa high chair habang tinitignan silang hindi magkanda-ugaga sa pagtuturo sa nga kasama nila kung paano mag jet ski. That's so fucking simple.
