"Kria" sean said.
"This is for your fiancé." He said at inabot naman ni kria sakanya yung kamay niya.
Sean look at me, and he held out his hand to me.
"Just for their dare." He said to me.
"I thought it was me." Kria sain and she laughed.
Natulala ako bigla, at hinawakan naman ni Sandro yung likod ko.
"Go." Sandro said and i just look at him.
He gave me a smile at inabot ko na yung kamay ko kay Sean.
Someone play a song, a romantic song.
I know this is awkward, but we need to hide it.
We started dancing na sa gitna.
He put my hands into his neck and he put his hands into my waist.
His palm was close habang nakalagay sa waist ko, he's so gentle.
He looks at me, and i saw his eyes changed.
He is smiling but his eyes was so sad.
"Im sorry." I said.
Yumuko naman siya while dancing with me.
"It's ok, it's the destiny's fault." He said and he chuckled.
"Love will tear the lovers." He added and he looked at me.
I suddenly hugged him while were dancing.
"This dance is enough na naman siguro for their dare, ok na." He said at inalis yung pagkayakap ko sakanya.
"Thank you for the dance." He said and he smiled.
Hinatid niya ako kay Sandro.
"Thank you." He said to Sandro at agad na ring bumalik kung saan siya nakaupo.
I know Sean's still not ok, nasasaktan pa rin siya. Yes He's hiding it, but his action's showing it
After a minute, natapos na yung 1st game.
I saw Sean stood up at lumayo samin.
"Game suggestions? Anyone?" Kria speaked.
While they deciding what's our next game,
"Wait, cr muna ako." Paalam ko kay Sandro.
He just smiled at iniwan ko muna sila.
After ko nag cr, i saw Sean mag isang nakaupo sa sand sa tabi ng beach.
I approached him and sinamahan ko siyang umupo.
"Why you're here?" He said ng magaan yung boses niya.
'For you.' i said.
He just laughed and said
'i don't need a kasama naman, you can go there."
'I don't want us to be not ok' i said and i look at him.
"We're ok, don't worry." Sagot niya habang hindi siya makatingin sakin ng diretso.
"Let's go, baka hinahanap na nila tayo." He said and he suddenly stood up.
"I'll go first, baka magselos si Sandro."
- he added.
He's moving on na, but i think we need to talk pa about us.
I stood up at bumalik na rin ako kay Sandro.
After an hour, natapos na din yung mga games.
It's already 11pm.
Sandro and I stand the tent and after a minutes, natayo na namin.
Ang laki ng tent then dalawa lang kami dito?
Lumabas muna ako ng tent at naghanap kung sinong pwedeng makasama sa tent, while Sandro's getting the pillows at kumot naman sa Car niya.
I saw Sean building his own tent, and i think he would deny my alok lang kung tatanungin because he has his own tent na.
I ask kria's other friends but they said they're ok na daw dun sa dalang tent nila kria na malaki rin.
Ok, sino ba naman ako.
Bumalik na ako sa tent and i saw Sandro being busy sa phone niya.
Babae nanaman siguro katext neto.
"Can you share some chix?" - i said to him.
He just ignore what i said, he landscape his phone and i think may kausap siya thru skype.
"Jillianne said you're chix, mom." He said.
At nagulat nalang ako dahil tinutok niya sakin yung camera.
It's Tita Liza.
"Hello, is Sandro's always annoying you ba?" -She said and she wave her hands.
I wave my hand back and i said "hello Tita, yes po he's always making me annoyed."
"Mom i thought you would say something good about me, or tutulungan moko sakanya but what are you asking?"" He said and he chuckled.
"You're the one who texting me nonstop earlier right mom? Nagdududa si Jillianne oh." He said.
I suddenly look at him with my wider eyes.
'Yeah, but im not sure kung ako lang yung katext mi, because u're so bagal to reply kase." Tita Liza said.
"Mom, ok that's enough na." He said and i suddenly laughed.
After a minute, tapos na silang mag usap ng nanay niya.
Humiga na kami pero parehas parin kaming nagse-cellphone.
'How's the dance?' he said.
"And the hug." He added.
"I thought you're not jelous?" I said and i chuckled.
"I just said sorry to him by hugging."
I added.
"Why you need to say sorry? Did something happened na hindi ko alam?' he said and he drop his phone beside him tsaka tumingin sakin.
Nakalimutan ko, matalino nga pala siya.
"Nothing, for some ano siguro, for some issues na nadamay siya because of me." I said.
Wala akong madahilan.
"Issues? Like what?" He said.
"Issues na his flirting me, we're dating kahit na may nanliligaw daw sakin, basta like that." I said.
'Are you saying the Truth?' he said and he stared at me.
"Why would i lie?" Sagot ko sakanya.
"I don't know to you, ok goodnight."
- he said and he smiles.
Hoo.. nakahinga na rin ako ng malalim. I think he believes me but why im feeling something wrong about what he thinks samin ni Sean.
..............
The next day.
2 days before their wedding day.
I woke up 8am ng wala si Sandro sa Tent.
I first checked my phone at lumabas na ako ng tent.
I saw all of them na nasa iisang cottage, maybe they're doing something or nag mi-meeting, but without me?!
I approached them and i slowly sat beside kria.
Nagmi-meeting nga sila.
Tomorrow will be the separation of womans and mens already, we'll go there in the venue we rented and we'll stayed there until our wedding day comes. Jake said.
the bride and groom weren't allowed to see or meet each other until they were at the altar kaya magkakaron ng seperation. Pero bat kasama kaming mga bridesmaids and groomsmen?
"we don't want to be the only ones who don't meet, so you will do the same with us." He added.
Ah so damay damay pala to.
The meeting was already done, nakahabol pa ako.
"Why you aren't call me?" I said to kria and i pouted my face.
"Sandro says don't wake you up, hahahah but that's ok, he will tell you what's we talked about naman." She said.
"Well, good morning." She added and she hugged me.
I hugged her as well and we stood up na.
I approach Sandro at sinampal yung balikat niya.
"Awww!" Sigaw niya.
"Why you aren't wake me up?" I said to him sabay kurot ng braso niya.
"It hurts, stop." He said and i suddenly removed my kurot sakanya.
"You heard some words naman na pinag meetingan right?" He said.
'Yeah, yun lang pinagmeetingan?'
- pagsungit ko sakanya.
'Yeah.' he said while were walking.
Ang tamlay niya ata.
I suddenly put my hand into his neck side and i checked his temperature.
Mainit ng kaunti.
Inalis niya yung kamay ko sa leeg niya and he said 'im ok."
At our tent, humiga lang siya tsaka nagkumot.
I get some lampil in my bagpack and i washed it.
I was about to hilamos his face na sana but he hold my wrist, he stopped me.
"I said im ok." He said.
I removed his holds in my wrist and i hilamos his face na.
"You're mom isn't here, so who are you expecting to do this sayo?" I said.
"Myself." He said.
"That's why you're getting sick, you're stubborn. Umupo ka nga muna." I said.
He sat down and said " im not stubborn, im just saying na i can care for myself."
I help him to removed his polo shirt at pinapunasan ko nalang sakanya yung katawan niya.
I get t-shirt from his bag at pinasuot sakanya.
Humiga siya ulit and i just put the lampil sa noo niya.
He fell asleep.
Binantayan ko nalang muna siya dito and after an hour I checked his temperature, bumaba na naman ng kaunti yung init niya.
12nn, we didn't ate pa dahil hindi pa kami nalabas ng tent.
Ako nalang yung lumabas and i checked them kung nagluluto na ng lunch.
I saw them sa harap ng cottage na nag i-ihaw na.
I get some foods and rice in one paper plate and dinala ko kay Sandro.
I wake him up at pinakain muna.
3pm, maayos ayos na naman siya, but still, mainit parin siya.
I told him not to use his phone muna but he needs to check some messages daw.
Oo nga pala, he's a politician.
After a minute, i fell asleep.
4:49pm nagising ako dahil sa ingay ng phone ni Sandro.
He's dj'ing na.
"Sorry." He said and he smiles.
I just laughed, glad he's medyo ok na.
I checked his temperature, maayos na din, pinagpapawisan na din siya.
I told him na magpalit ng damit and after a minute lumabas na kami sa tent.
We saw them na nag i-ihaw ng some foods ulit, some of them are nagsu-swimming and the others are playing volleyball naman, my fav sport.
Sandro and i Sat here sa may Sand and were watching them playing.
"Join them." He suddenly said.
"No." I said and i just chuckled.
Wala siyang kasama dito pag sumali ako dun, I don't have a choice.
"You'll join or i'll join? We go here to have some fun, don't worry about me dito lang ako." He said.
"Sure?" I said.
He just smiled at tinulak ako ng bahagya.
"Go na, baka mainggit pa 'ko." He said then he laughed.
I join them and Sandro's watching us.
After a minute of playing, i decided na magpahinga muna.
I went to the cr at nagpalit ng damit.
I get a bottle of water here sa may cottage and I noticed na wala si Sean, i mean parang hindi siya nakikisama sa mga kasama namin dito.
I tried to find him, and after a minute i found him kung saan ko siya nakita kagabi and i think he's waiting for the sunset.
I approached him at sinamahan ko muna.
I sat beside him sa sand.
"Why you're always here?" I said.
"You, why you're always noticing me."
- he said habang tinitignan lang yung view.
"Because im your best friend, and you're my best friend." I said.
"What you need ba?" He said.
"Wala." Sagot ko sakanya.
"I just want us to be ok." I added.
"How many times i need to tell you that we're ok naman?" He said.
"Don't deny it, Sean. I know we're not." I said.
A minute of silence.
"You know, i accepted it already, na hindi mo ako kayang mahalin gaya ng love na meron ka for Sandro." He said.
"But it still makes me sad when i think about it." He added.
"The sunset is beautiful, isn't it?" He said and he looked at me.
"Sean." I suddenly said.
"Im not literally letting you go, i just want you to be happy." He said.
He doesn't deserve this.
"You don't deserve me, you don't deserve all the hurts na nabibigay ko sayo." I said and i looked at him.
"Maybe i deserve someone else, but I always wanted you." He said.
"I want to moved on, but how." He said sabay tingin sa sunset.
"The hardest love to forget is the one That never happened, how can i moved on sa bagay na hindi pa naman nagsisimula.' he said.
Ang bigat ng mga salita niya.
I don't know kung anong sasabihin ko. Im just staring at him.
I can see his teary eyes.
"Im sorry for not giving the same love your giving to me, sorry for being your problem and your sadness." I said.
"You don't have to say sorry, you're not the problem, you're actually the solution." He said and he suddenly looked down.
He's trying not to cry, but his tears dripping na.
"Why everything is so heavy?" He said and he chuckled while he's crying.
"You was never mine but losing you broke my heart." He said and he wiped his tears.
He looked at me and said
"I learned that Sometimes, the best way to stay close to someone you love is by just being friends. even if it hurts."
He can't hide the sadness in his eyes, i suddenly hug him.
"And Sometimes, you have to forget what u feel and remember what you deserve." I said while still hugging him.
"But please let me to love you, u don't have to do anything for me just let me love you, until i slowly loose my feelings and be able to accept everything." He said
I don't know why, but i suddenly cry.
"How sweet it is to be loved by you."
He said and he rubs his hands in my back.
'You'll always have my love, as your best friend , you'll always have me, don't forget it.' i said and i hug him tightly.
"You need yourself more than anything else." I added.
"Baka may makakita satin, then they thinks badly." He said and he suddenly chuckled.
I wiped my tears.
I removed my hugged and i just gave him a smile.
"You'll be fine, Sean. The right one will come unexpectedly." I said.
"Oh c'mon." He said and he chuckled while wiping his tears.
"Sunsets are the proof that no matter what happens, everyday can end beautifully." He said.
Were just looking at the view, and waiting na mawala yung sunset.
After a minute, he he stood up na.
"Let's go back there." He said and he held his hand to me.
Inabot ko yung kamay ko sakanya and i stood up na rin.
While were walking, my phone started to pop up.
I stopped walking for a while and I checked who's texting me.
Ig.

Hello, is kuya Sandro's ok?
/3 missed calls./
I tried to video call him kanina and i saw him drunking.
What?!
Why he's drunking nanaman ba?
I run pabalik sakanila and i saw him drunking.
Stubborn, sabi niya dun kang siya sa gilid.
I saw him and he seemed like nakikipag away sa one guy here sa beach.
The guy pulled Sandro at napa-upo siya sa buhangin.
Tumayo si Sandro at gumanti naman ng suntok.
I immediately approached them pero nasuntok na rin ng guy na yun si Sandro.
