Lea
Ang saya pala sa pakiramdam na may patutunguan ang lahat ng paghihirap mo, ano? I mean, there are times na oo, gusto mo ng sumuko pero nandoon pa rin, eh. Nandoon pa rin ang motivation na dapat, ipagpatuloy mo lang ang mga ginagawa mo dahil sa huli, makakamit mo rin ang tagumpay.
What am I even talking about? Well, I'm just happy to think na kami ang nakahanap ng treasure chest! Thanks to my daughters' intelligence at nakamit namin ang premyo.
Anong laman ng treasure chest? It's really not that big but if you're a chocolate lover, then you'll probably feel that you're in heaven the moment you see what's inside the chest!
Different kinds of chocolates are there, Dairy Milk, Toblerone, M & M's, name it and it's there! But to top it all off, there's this special one whom I think came all the way from Paris to the Philippines.
It's the Jün Ve Nillè Swiss Dark Chocolate! It is composed of 14 different dark chocolates in different sizes and figures! I mean, come to think of it, we're going to eat one of the most expensive chocolates from Paris!
Moving on, ang ngiti ko ay napalitan ng simangot when I saw Aga coming towards my direction.
Nandito kami ngayon sa isa sa mga cottages dito sa Poseidon's Crest, hindi lang pala chocolates ang prize kundi we also received a certificate indicating a complete package deal in this resort! That means, we can try all of those fun adventures here for free! There's also a free cottage and a hotel room for us.
"Hi babes!" bati niya sa'kin, ngumiti ako ng pilit and crossed my arms.
"Ano namang kailangan mo, ha, Muhlach?" I asked him in annoyance, wala rito ang mga bata because they are taking pictures at the beach.
"Grabe ka naman, babes! 'Di ba pywedeng na-miss ko lang ang asawa ko?" he said na parang wala lang sa kanya na tawagin akong 'asawa' niya.
Sabagay, we're still married if we base it on the papers.
"Seriously, Aga? I'm in a good mood so please, 'wag mong sirain ang araw ko." I told him, oo na okay? Kinilig ako sa sinabi niya na na-miss niya raw ako but, there's no way na aaminin ko na na-miss ko rin siya in a little span of time!
He was about to say something nang may magsalita 'di kalayuan sa direksyon namin. "Aga, is that you?"
Agad na napataas ang kilay ko nang makita ko kung sino ang nagsalita, it's a girl in her mid thirties. She's wearing a two-piece red bikini and she covered it with a see through dress. Well, I can't change the fact na maganda at sexy siya.
What am I even thinking?
"Lory?" Aga asked in disbelief at lumapit sa babae na nakatayo sa pintuan ng cottage, how rude of him to leave me here!
"Aga! So, ikaw nga! I'm glad to see you here!" the girl named 'Lory' exclaimed upon seeing Aga, 'di lang 'yon, niyakap pa nito ang ASAWA KO.
"Loryel! Ang tagal rin nating hindi nagkita, ah? Gumanda ka pa lalo!" Aga said after their hugging session.
Gumanda? Aba, nakapangalan pa talaga siya right after a shampoo brand! L'Oreal!
Maarteng hinampas ng Lory na 'yon ang balikat ni Aga "I told you not to call me Loryel in public! Lory na lang Ariel, Lory!" she hissed and Aga chuckled.
Mukhang napasarap ang usapan nila, ah? 'Di man lang nila napansin na may tao rito sa likod? Am I that unoticable? I took a few steps forward at umubo ng pilit, causing them to look back.
Lory seemed suprised upon seeing me, "May kasama ka pala, Ags. Mind introducing her to me?" sabi niya kay Aga.
Inakbayan ako ni Aga and as much as I want to twist his arms, 'di ko 'yon ginawa at hinayaan lang siya.
"Uhm, Lory, this is my wife, Lea. Babes, si Lory nga pala, my friend." pagpakilala ni Aga, Lory smiled sweetly at me, ngumiti rin ako but it's a fake one.
Buti naman at pinakilala niya ako as his wife, letse siya!
"So, you're the wife? It's my pleasure meeting you, Ms. Lea!" she said at tinignan ako mula ulo hanggang paa.
I want to pull her hair right away but I remained calm and nonchalant, ang ayaw ko pa naman sa lahat, ang kinikilatis ako.
"Well, it's really not my pleasure meeting you!" I said with sarcasm at tila nagulat silang dalawa ni Aga sa sinabi ko. Ha, take that!
"If you'll excuse me, I'll give you and MY husband some time to talk!" wika ko at tumakbo palayo sa cottage na iyon. Hindi ko alam kung saan ako pupunta basta, anywhere malayo kay Lory at kay Aga!!
I found myself at the resort's main hotel lobby, ba't nga ba ako nandito? Lalabas na sana ako when someone called me.
"Salonga!" I heard a familiar voice kaya I look back to see who it is.
Nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang makilala ko ang taong tumatakbo papunta sa direksyon ko ngayon.
"Vice? What the hell are you doing here?" 'di makapaniwalang tanong ko sa kanya nang tuluyan na siyang makalapit sa'kin.
