I immediately approached them pero nasuntok na rin ng guy na yun si Sandro.
Gumitna ako sakanila sabay pagtigil sakanila.
'What's going here?' sigaw ko sakanila
"He's making a fight." Sabay duro niya kay Sandro.
Pinalo ko naman yung kamay niya para maalis yung pagkaduro.
"I saw you first started this trouble, so please just leave us now."
"Wait, who are you? Nah, he's Girlfriend?" The guy said tsaka tumawa.
"You know, you are so beautiful for someone like him, can u be mine?" He said and he was about kiss me
But i suddenly slap him.
Someone pulled him away naman, It's Sean.
"stay away from us, otherwise I will send you away from this beach" Sean said.
I approached Sandro at inalalayan kong tumayo.
"What? You're going to punch me?"
Sean said to the guy.
"If you're not, ako nalang." He said sabay sinuntok yung Guy.
At napahiga yung lalake sa buhangin.
Abay basagulero.
Iniwan ko muna saglit si Sandro then i pulled Sean para tumigil siya.
"Kuya Manuel!" Sean shouted and the guard of the beach approached us.
"Manong, palabasin nyo nga to dito, lasing yan." He said.
"Sigurado ka?" The guard (Manuel) said naman.
Wow fluent tagalog.
"Ako na bahala kay Dad." Sean said.
Why he has the authority na magpaalis ng tao dito? Why he knows the guard's name?
Nagtawag ng isang kasama yung guard atsaka binuhat yung guy.
"Lasing nga." Bulong nung Guard na tinawagang 'Manuel' ni Sean.
"You ok?" He said to me.
"Baliw ka, bakit mo pinaalis yun." I said.
Tinawanan niya lang ako.
Nilapitan namin si Sandro tsaka kami nagtanong kung anong nangyare.
"He approached me and suddenly called me grandson of a dictator." Sandro said and he laughed.
"I didn't get bothered naman, sanay nako. Napikon lang siya because im not affected kaya suddenly he pulled me na." He added.
"Lasing ka kase." Reklamo ko sakanya.
"No, im not." He said and he laughed.
"What's that?" I said sabay turo dun sa glass na may laman ng alak.
"Taste it." He said.
/I tasted it/
Cold apple juice.
He's laughing and im just staring him.
His action's are actually not affected naman talaga, but his eyes seems like umiyak.
"Thank you, I don't want a trouble." He said to Sean.
And Sean just smiled.
After a minute, bumalik na muna kami sa tent ni Sandro.
He just sat there and he checked his phone.
I get some ice cubes there muna sa may cottage area at bumalik rin ako agad kay Sandro.
I put the ice cubes sa clean towel ko at dahan dahan kong pinunas-punasan ang Mata ni Sandro kung saan siya nasuntok.
"Lapitin ka din pala ng gulo." I said and he just chuckled.
'ouch." He said.
"Sorry, you're too magulo kase". - sagot ko sakanya
After a second, he called Simon.
"oh kuya, did Jillianne punch you na ata." Bungad niya kay Sandro.
Tumawa lang si Sandro.
"U jerk Si, kala ko nalasing na si Sandro but he's drinking apple juice lang pala." I said.
He just laughed.
After a minute, they done talking na.
7pm, lumabas kami ng tent at nakisama muna kila Kria.
We sat here ng pabilog sa may sand and we burn fire sa may gitna para may ihawan kami ng foods.
After a minute, i saw Sean na lumabas na rin ng Tent niya.
'Can i join the u?" He said and he sat beside me and Sandro na.
'U sat na e.' i said and he just chuckled.
He held some sticks of bbq sakin, mga 8 siguro na stick.
"This' too much huy." I said.
'That's for u and Sandro." He said.
Abah himala, bati ata sila.
After a minute, natapos na kaming nag ihaw and we ate na.
"Suggest any games please, let's enjoy this last night here." Kria said while were here nakaupo parin.
We already played some games and i think, this night is over.
10:29pm natapos na kaming maglaro.
This night is full of joy, Sandro, Sean and i were teammates, akala ko magiging awkward kame pero iba yung nangyare, nag enjoy silang maging magteam mate.
I saw Sean's action was better than last night, talking with him heart to heart kanina really helps us na maging ok, but still, i think di parin masyadong ganon ka komportable si Sandro pag kasama ko si Sean.
Were here na sa tent at nagpapa-antok lang kami by using our own phones.
I can't help my self to stopped overthinking.
Almost every night im always overthinking about us, about him na baka one day, mapagod na siya kakahintay, na one day baka hindi na kami ok, na one day makahanap siya ng ibang babae na ready to commit.
I don't know but i was so scared to answer him, im too weak to face this love i have for him.
I can feel my eyes na parang babagsak na yung luha, tinalikuran ko si Sandro and then a second, my tears suddenly drop.
A minutes passed and i think he noticed me.
He put his palm into my back.
"Shhhh, breakdowns?" He said and he checked me.
I quickly wiped my tears at umupo muna.
Umupo rin siya tsaka ako kinausap.
"Why?" He said and he fixed my messy hair.
I removed his hand from my hair and i just said "nothing."
"Oh come on, that's not fair. Pag ako may problema im telling you about it, then pag ikaw hindi?" He said and i suddenly look at him.
"How long you could stay in love with me?" I asked him.
"I don't know, I can't give you the exact answer." He said.
"I don't know why but most of the Woman like you was overthinking.
But im here to tell you this, i will never let you go. " He said.
"Promise?" I said.
"Yes ma'am." He said.
"the memories that we had and those that we are about to have, they are all precious to me, and even if we get to the point where we no longer understand each other, i would still stay with you. So don't stress yourself over something that wouldn't happen, i will never leave you alone" he added.
...................
The next day, last day before jake amd Kria's wedding.
8am, i woke up dahil sa malakas na sigaw ni Kria.
I slowly open my eyes and i saw her ugly face.
"It's time to wake up, come on."
She said.
I stood up and i get my bags.
i noticed, Sandro wasn't here pati yung mga gamit niya.
"Where's Sandro?" Tanong ko kay Kria.
She said "they were already at the venue, he's with Jake and the other guys."
"why aren't they wait for us?" I said.
"Girl, your future boyfriend says we will wait for you to wake up, but you're too long so i woke u up."
Ay ako pala yung dahilan.
"Sorry." I said and i laughed.
Were here na sa isang van with the other girls, isa lang yung lalake, yung driver lang.
This day is ano nga pala, they didn't allow to meet or see the groom and bride, pero wala kaming magagawa, dinamay kami nung ikakasal kaya kasama kami.
I think, this night is For Sean and Sandro, para magkaron sila ng Closure habang magkasama sila dun.
After a minute of byahe, u saw Sandro's messages.
@Sandromarcos7
: There's a burger in your backpack, eat it for your breakfast.
: Good morning.🙂
I just hearted his messages and i checked if there's a burger nga sa backpack.
I saw 4 burger in 1 plastic na nasa backpack.
I just get 1 tapos binigay ko yung iba sa mga kasama ko.
After an half hour of byahe, i think were here na sa venue.
The guard open the gate at pumasok na yung sasakyan.
The Van stopped and Kria opened the Car's door.
Bumaba na siya at sumunod ako.
Wow, ang laki.
This house is so big, it has a garden, pool area, play ground and others na pwede mo pang makita sa isang modern house.
The house door suddenly opened from a far.
"Good morning!" Someone shouted.
It's Sean.
He approached us (the girls) and he help me na dalin yung mga bags ko.
"I thought bawal magsama yung babae at lalake?" Tanong ko kay Sean habang kinukuha nha yung ibang mga gamit ko sa likod ng sasakyan.
"Yeah but not exactly like that naman." He said.
"Groom and bride lang talaga yung hindi pwedeng magkita at magsama, pero yung satin bawal lang magkasamang matulog, basta ganon, intindihin mo nalang." He said.
I suddenly laughed dahil wala akong naintindihan.
"We'll have a boy's party mamaya and im sure kayo din. Wait, r u ready na ba na malasing?" He said.
"Nah, Don't ask me." I said tsaka lang sya tumawa.
Pumasok na si kria sa mismong loob ng bahay at sinundan lang namin.
We saw all the boys here sa 1st floor, they're all playing playstation 5, except Sandro, maybe he's nasa kwarto na.
We go here sa 3rd floor, and i think may isa pang floor.
"Ok, this floor has 2 big rooms, in one room will have 7 or 10 girls." Kria said.
I checked the room and it seems like a sala na yung laki.
"The 1st and 2nd floor is for boys, and this 3rd and 4rth is ours." She added.
"Thank you, kamusga mo nalang ako kay Sandro." I said to Sean.
"Ok, he went outside eh, we don't know where he go basta he said may pupuntahan daw saglit." He said and he said goodbye na to me.
I texted Sandro and i asked where the hell he went.
@sandromarco7
"Secret, i'll be back there after 30 minutes, don't worry about me just enjoy there." He reply.
Bahala ka.
Kaya pala ang bait neto sakin kanina may pupuntahan pala ngayon, may pa burger burger pa.
11:30am but he's still not here i think, because wala pa yung Car niya sa Labas.
I just go here muna sa kwarto namin ng mga girls and i take a rest hanggang sa nakatulog ako.
I woke up by someone na nang gigising sakin.
I slowly open my eyes and i saw Sandro's big eye bugs.
I close my eyes again at tinalikuran siya.
"Pakipot naman neto, kakain na po."
He said sabay pag hatak saken na tumayo.
I just sat down here sa may foam and i glared him once at nagfocus na ako sa phone ko.
"Why?' he said and he laughed.
I just ignored him.
After a second, he held a box.
I looked at him and i asked what's it.
"If you take this, ok na tayo." He said and he smiled at me.
"Oh wait, here pa pala." He said and he get something sa may labas ng room.
Bumalik rin sya agad at may dala dalang bouquet of sunflower.
"Im just kidding, take this 2 na." He said and he held the flowers na.
"when can I be given that." Kria said and we both Chuckled lang.
Kinuha ko na and I can't deny na kinikilig ako.
"The box? Take it also." He said.
I get the box and i saw heels shoes.
"That's not super high heels, and I don't want you to look like mas matangkad sakin in Jake's wedding kaya ganyan lang binili ko." He said.
"Thanks." I said and i gave him a smile.
'I'll go back there na with the other boys, don't forget to eat ah." He said bago siya lumabas ng room.
After a minute, Someone serve us a food dito sa room.
Kumain na kami and we just stayed here sa room.
9pm, we heard some laughed galing sa baba. 1st, 2nd floor maybe.
Baka nagbo-boy's night out na sila.
Let's go upstairs, Girls night out, it's not fair if they're the only ones who making some fun tonight.
We go here sa 4th floor and i saw the other girls na umiinom na.
Nilapitan ni Kria at eto naman akong walang choice kundi sundan siya.
We sat beside them.
"Here oh." Kria said sabay abot ng bote ng alak.
I just glared her lang, makuha ka sa tingin friend.
she knows na im not drinking tapos isang bote pa ng alak yung ibibigay niya sakin para inumin ko?
Franze Jillianne "Kj" Reyes." She said sabay pag balik ng bote ng alak sa mesa.
"Just a little lang, come on." She said.
"How little?" Tanong ko sakanya.
"I mean, just for tonight. Im getting married na tomorrow, this is the last time na im getting drunk as a Marquez, my last name would be changed na after tomorrow." She said.
Kung hindi lang talaga to ikakasal, bahala na.
"Ok ok, don't make a drama na." - i said.
"Im not making a drama, im just saying na jake's last name would be my last name na rin." She said and she poured beer sa small glass then inabot sakin.
Kinuha ko at pinatong ko muna sa Mesa.
I get a water for my chaser at bumalik na ako kay Kria.
"after jake and i got married, you and sandro will get married next huh." She said.
"Married right away? Wala pa ngang kami." I said at ininom ko ng straight yung glass of beer.
"Ang paet." Bulong ko sa hangin.
"Answer him na kasi, we all know naman na you still love him. You know, at our age we're not nagliligawan na dapat, if you love him then answer him agad." She said.
"Or maybe you have someone new na kaya you can't answer him? She said and iminom ng alak.
She has a point.
"Actually, I want to be his Girlfriend na but I don't know how to tell it on him." I said.
I get the bottle of beer at naglagay ulit ako sa baso ko.
"Go Franze!" Cheer niya sakin habang iniinom ko ng straight yung alak.
"Mygosh, so how?" I said habang mahilo hilo na ako ng kaunti.
"Just kiss him." She said at bigla nalang akong napalunok.
She laughed.
"Just say what's in your heart." She said.
After a minute na nandito ako with them, di ko na alam kung anong nangyayare.
I think i already drunk 5 big bottles of beer.
Ji pa namaj alo lasing.
The one girl na kasama namin ay walang tigil kung kumanta, sintonado pa naman.
Kria stood up and he pulled me papunta dun sa girl na kumakanta.
"Girl, you're already drunken, you're voice also. you sat there." She said and i suddenly laughed.
Nangri-realtalk din naman pala tong babaeng to pag lasing, pag lasing na lasing na siguro to makakapagsalita na din siya ng straight tagalog.
She get the mic from that girl and she sang the song.
Hold still right before we crash 'cause we both know how this ends..
A clock ticks 'till it break your and i drown in you again...
Im just here sinasabayan syang kumanta.
SHe put the mic sa Harap ko.
"Let's gaw!" Sigaw ni Kria.
'Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why
If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?
If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity...'
i sang it at feel na feel ko yung pag kanta.
After an hour, gewang gewang akong naglakad papunta ng Cr dito sa 4th floor.
Pumunta ako sa harap ng toilet, and i vomited a lot.
My head, stomach hurts.
(Vomiting sound)
After a minute, bumalik na ako kila Kria at umupo sa tabi niya.
At di ko namalayan na nakatulog na pala ako.
