CUPID ON VACATION (FRANDEESAL)

Chapter 15

Eros' POV

May paraan naman para wag lumala ang sumpa, ito ay ang labanan mo ang nararamdaman mo sa taong yun o maghanap ka ng taong makakatanggal ng sumpang yun sayo by making you love that person for real kaya napagpasyahan kong magbakasyon.

Out of sight means out of mind right?. Unfortunately, that doesn't apply to the heart. And aware naman ako na medyo mahihirapan nga ako ukol sa bagay na yan.

So I decided to go to the City of Love—Paris. But why is it actually considered the City of Love?.

People call Paris “the City of Love” because of the romantic atmosphere it exudes. In fact, The City of Love isn't just a random nickname given to Paris; it's the perfect description anyone who visited the French capital would give to the city for all the romantic vibes they find there.

Based on a source.

Pero there are other reasons pa, and for me it's a place that makes you fall in love faster. But Paris is not always the City of Love, in fact people used to call it the City of Light. First reason is because karamihan ng European cities noong 18th century ay gumagamit ng gas streets lamps. Second is Paris was a essentially a hub during the Age of Enlightenment. So literally light, with enlightened minds. Voila.

And that's the place where I met Miho. A half Filipina-half Japanese girl travel blogger or writer na mag-isang nagbabakasyon. I fell fast and hard that it only end up breaking my heart. She's smart, cool, adventurous, funny, beautiful inside and out but just not into settling down. This girl doesn't even believe in marriage which is a big NO for me because I'm such a romantic but unfortunately, being with this girl only makes me a hopeless romantic.

Now what I'm left with are just photos of us with half of my feelings for her while the other half is for that crazy girl in prison. Haaayst.

Sumakay nako sa kotse ko at umuwi na. On a daily basis, I work as an online English tutor and that gives me less pay than being Cupid. Syempre, may sweldo rin ang pagiging matchmaker no, not just money but longer life syempre pag nagagawa namin ng tama ang mga trabaho namin. Sa kaso ni Dana ngayon she broke some of the rules kaya she's payed less than she used to.

Pagdating sa bahay papasok na sana ako sa kwarto nang bigla kong marinig si Amy sa kabilang kwarto na may kausap ata sa phone,

Laney, we have to keep this a secret. Hindi pwedeng malaman ni Kuya Pido na pinakialaman natin ang bow and arrow nya or else--

"Amanda! Buksan mo tong pinto!. Isa! Amanda!." Galit kong katok ng pinto.

Frances' POV

10pm.

Nagising ako nang mapansing bumangon si Jaydee at parang nahihirapan itong huminga. Nakahawak lang ito sa dibdib nya.

"Jaydee? Anong nangyayari?."

"H-hindi ako makahinga--"

"W-what? No uh wait uh--Dad! Tita! Tulong!. Dad--" labas ko ng kwarto.

..

Madie's POV

Sa kusina. Uminom ako ng tubig. Nag-aalala parin ako kay Jaydee. Dapat kasi ako yung nakakausap nya sa mga puntong to pero anong ginawa ko? Tsk. Napakasama kong tao.

Nakatulala lang ako, di ko napansin na natabig ko pala baso ko at nabasag ito sa sahig. Masama ang kutob ko. Parang may kung anong masamang nangyayari. Wag naman sana.

Niligpit ko nalang ang mga nabasag na pieces.

"Anong nangyari?." Lapit ni Kuya Patrick.

"Natabig ko lang Kuya."

"Sige, ako na dyan. Matulog ka na. Masamang nagpupuyat."

"O-okay po Kuya." Akyat ko sa kwarto ko.

..

Amy's POV

"Alam mo ba kung gaano ka--"

"Kuya, please calm down--y-you'll kill her." Napaisip sya.

Kaya ayun, pinilit nyang kumalma. He sighed deeply.

"What did you do?." Seryoso nitong sabi sakin. Napayuko nalang ako.

"I'm sorry Kuya, nacurious lang kasi ako eh. Sorry, sorry talaga. Di na mauulit. Sorry." Pagmamakaawa ko sa kanya.

"Who are they?."

..

Frances' POV

Sobrang saya ko nang medyo umayos na ang pakiramdam ni Jaydee. Di ko napigilang yakapin sya. I thought I'm gonna lose her forever. Kumawala rin ako nang biglang naging awkward na ang atmosphere. Mukhang natuwa naman sina Dad dahil dun, wala kasi silang kaideideya this is far beyond sisterly love which is really messing things up haaayst.

"Basta bukas after class pupunta tayo ng Doctor, kailangan mong magpacheck up. Sige na, goodnight." Sabi ni Daddy.

"Goodnight po." Sabay naming sabi ni Jaydee. At lumabas na nga si Daddy at Tita Naomi sabay sara ng pinto.

Dahil sa pangyayaring yun siguro nga dapat kasama ko lagi si Jaydee para pag may ganitong sitwasyon hindi sya mag-isa.

"Goodnight." We said to each other awkwardly at humiga na, facing away from each other.

KINABUKASAN

Sabay kaming dumating ni Jaydee sa school. Pagpasok ko sa classroom,

"Is it true that Tito adopted Ate Jen?." Tanong ni Coleen.

"That was the plan pero di pumayag si Jay--Ate Jen--nifer. Pero she's staying with us for the meantime habang wala pa silang nahahanap na kamag-anak nya who would take custody."

"I see. Pero ang saya siguro nun no?. You have an instant sister." Sabi ni Klaire.

"Y-yeah. We can say that hehe."

"Good morning class." Oh Miss Angel's here.

..

Madie's POV

Wala paring imik si Jaydee. I know masama parin ang loob nya sakin. Nag-abot ako ng note sa kanya saying condolence and that I miss her but she just crumpled it after reading at ibinalik sakin.

Recess.

Hindi sya sumama samin, which is odd. Andun sya sa group nina Frances. Haaayst. Pero if that makes her feel better then maybe that's the best choice for us right now.

Miss na miss ko na talaga sya. Nasa huli nga talaga ang pagsisisi. At pinagsisisihan ko ang araw that I decided to break her heart, I wish I could just take back everything I've said.
