Best friends

Chapter 5

--

It's already 1 in the morning and I can't sleep so I decided to go to the kitchen to make some coffee, minsan kase talaga eh sinusumpong ako ng insomnia ko. After making sure that my coffee tastes good, I went to the balcony and saw the beautiful view of baguio. Napakadaming mga ilaw na nanggagaling sa mga bahay bahay.

While sipping my coffee, I heard a noise coming from Nikolai's room kaya agad akong pumasok sa loob ng kwarto niya and saw him trying to stand.

"Nikolai! What's wrong?" I asked and hold his hand pero sobrang lamig non. I touch his head and it's so hot.

"You're sick. Lay down, hmm? Kukuhanan kita ng tubig at gamot." Sabi ko rito tsaka ko siya kinumutan.

I bring the medicine he needed and a water. Bumalik ako sa kwarto niya at nakasandal ito sa head board ng kama.

"Drink it."

Pagkatapos niya itong inumin ay bumalik ako sa kusina para kumuha ng isang basin at nilagyan ito ng tubig, kumuha din ako ng maliit na towel at bumalik sa kwarto nito. He's now peacefully sleeping but he's still hot and his forehead is puckis.

Binasa ko ang towel at pinunasan siya sa buong mukha, leeg at kamay. I'm used to doing this to him lalo na nung nasa high school palang kami, he gets sick easily when rain pour into him. After doing what I am supposed to do, I stare at him and fix his hair. He's a big guy now, he's not just my bestfriend, he's now a grown up man.

"How can we grew up so fast?" I asked then smile before lying my head on the bed and fell into sleep.

"Last destination na natin 'to 'noh?" I asked him, we stayed in baguio for 4 nights and 5 days and we only have 4 days to go.

"Mm hmm. We should enjoy it, dalawang araw at isang gabi lang natin dito." Sagot nito tsaka pumasok sa kubong nirentahan namin. We're at one of the palawan islands.

  "We should go snorkel again."

"Yeah sure. Let's just rest for a while."

Wala itong kwarto at may isa lang itong kama at isang long couch and 2 single couch.

Humiga siya sa mahabang upuan kaya doon na ako sa kama, kung noon ay ayos lang na nagtatabi kami, ngayon hindi na. We trust each other but it's not okay to sleep with a guy especially that we're not kids anymore.

We rest for about 2 hours before going to the sea, as I said earlier-- we snorkel and took some photos under the sea. Hindi ganoon kadami ang tao rito kaya hindi siya crowded at talagang lahat ng gusto mo at magagawa mo. Imagine wala kang kaagaw haha.

After snorkelling, we went to the sea shore and pick some beautiful stones and shells.

"Look, ang ganda oh." Pinakita ko sa kanya yung kakaibang shell na napulot ko, ang daming paikot at design, iba iba din ang kulay nito.

"Sana all." He commented and grab it on my hand kaya agad ko siyang hinabol.

"Give it back." Sabi ko nang hawak hawak ko na siya sa braso, walang damit eh kaya wala akong mahila, amp. Inilahad ko ang kamay ko at ang gago, inapir ako tsaka tumawa.

"Nik, that's mine." I pout and he just mock me kaya hinampas ko siya sa braso.

  "I have an idea, let's make a tiktok video here." Biglang sabi ko kaya natawa siya.

I open my account and place somewhere basta nakatayo.

"Let's go." He said bago nito hawakan ang tuktok ng ulo ko, alam kong matanggad ka, amp.
