Is There a Lifetime? (Oliveros Series #1)

[20]

"Anong nangyari sa 'yo? Bakit para kang nakakita ng multo?" Mahinang niyugyog ni Zierra ang balikat ko. Nanlalaki pa rin ang mga mata ko dahil sa nangyari.

Ano na lang kaya ang sasabihin niya? Nakakahiya! Bakit ba kasi napakatanga ko?

Paulit-ulit kong tinatampal ang noo ko ngunit tumigil din pagkaraan ng ilang minuto. Tinitigan ko ang mensaheng aksidente kong naipadala. Wala pang reply si Sky roon. Hindi ko naman na mabura dahil kapag ginawa ko 'yon, sa akin lang naman mawawala.

"Bakit?" Lukot na lukot ang mukha ko habang kinakagat ang pang-ibabang labi.
Naguguluhan pa rin akong tinitingnan ng kaibigan ko.

Ayaw kong sabihin sa kaniya ang nagawa ko dahil tiyak na aasarin niya lang naman ako kaya naman isinantabi ko na lang muna iyon.

"Wala lang naman." Binigyan niya ako ng isang nagdududang tingin.

"Okay, if you say so. Sabi pala ni Miss Morales pwede raw munang mag-ikot-ikot dito sa loob. Hanapin na lang daw 'yung bus na sasakyan natin patungong hotel pagkalipas ng isang oras." Kahit papaano ay natuwa ako sa pag-iimporma niya.

Tumango ako at nagsimula na kaming maglakad habang hila-hila ang mga maleta namin.

I roamed my eyes around this airport. I know a brief information about this. Mactan-Cebu International Airport is the second largest airport in the Philippines.

MCIA wins World Architecture award because of its intelligent and aesthetically beautiful design with use of local materials. The roof is the most recognizable element which is made out of wood. The structure is composed of an array of glue-laminated arches, which form the roof curvature and define its geometry and modularity.

I was also amazed because of the stores inside so you could shop! There were also bars, fancy restaurants, coffee shops, fast food chains, mini stalls and many more! I can't mention all of them!

Lahat na yata nandito! I'm not overreacting, I'm really saying what I'm seeing right now. This is my first time here.

"Saan tayo, Kierre?" Lumilibot din ang mga mata ni Zie sa paligid at halata ang pagkamangha. Bahagya pang nakaawang ang kaniyang labi.

"I want Starbucks!" I pointed at the shop near us. There are few people inside.

"You want it? Then buy it." She sarcastically replied. I glared at her because of that.

"I'm serious here, Zie. How about you? Saan mo gusto?" Even if I'm pissed, I still care about her, of course.

She placed her hand on her chin and looked up and acted like she was thinking. "Doon na lang din!" Tinawanan niya ako noong makitang kumunot ang noo ko.

Nag-isip pa talaga siya.

We went inside and good thing, there were still many vacant seats left so we both went to the counter to order and find a seat after.

We were just talking and admiring MCIA while waiting for our order.

"I would definitely come back here!" I said to her. She nodded like she agrees with me.

"Same, we should have a vacation here next time." She smiled and I gave it back to her.

"We should bring our families." I gave her an idea but she shook her head. She doesn't seem to like it.

"Your family," she emphasized. "I don't want to bring my parents. I mean, for what? They're not always in our home. They always leave me ever since I was a kid so what's the point of having a vacation with them?" Bitterness was evident in her voice. I suddenly felt bad for her.
