"Where are we going nga?" They held hands while waiting for his car
"Drive lang, para makalanghap ka naman ng sariwang hangin uy.. puro aircon at uvcare ang naaamoy mo sa unit mo"
"Sira!"
The car came in front of the lobby. He said thank you to his driver and ask him to go home first, he helped her in to the car, then go to the driver's seat.
"How is your birthday?"
"Ok lang, daming flowers may mga nagpadala ng food, para kong may mini flower shop"
"Kita ko nga eh, tyaka yung "pink roses" ang ganda, galing kay vice governor?"
She sigh, "sabi ko na di pa tapos eh"
"Im just asking" he glances at her and go back to the road
"Oo, sa kanya galing"
"How do you feel about that?"
"Wala"
"Panong wala? Eh pinost mo"
"Why do I feel like my Dad is scolding me"
He smirks
"Hindi naman ako nagagalit, im just asking you calmly"
"Kaya nga mas nakakatakot, look sinubukan ko lang.. akala ko kasi wala na eh, kasi di ka nagpaparamdam.. the last time na nag usap tayo, nag call ka sa break up so akala ko yun na yun"
"After ilang days ready ka na to entertain other guys?"
"Hindi.. pinagbigyan ko lang"
"Alam mo namang patay na patay sayo yun eh, tapos ipopost mo pa yung binigay nyang flowers, syempre mag eexpect yun"
Shes seeing farm along the road, after long drive they arrived in their destination, its 4:00 in the afternoon, the sun is still up, but the wind is cold, the beach is sitting calmly, you can only hear birds chirping, no other people just them.
"Ang ganda" she said
He held her hands "gutom ka na?"
She shook her head "not yet"
"Do you like it?"
"Yeah, its so peaceful na excite tuloy ako sa beachfront house"
"Tara labas tayo"
He helped her out of the car, held her hands and walk to the beach
"Babe, about kay Mark"
"Hmm" he did not look at her
"Wala lang yun, to be honest, I tried pero wala talaga eh"
"The question is, bakit mo ni try?"
"Kasi nga i thought wala na tayo"
"That easy? You think bibitawan kita ng ganun ganun lang?"
"Siguro, tapos I saw Dondon's post about you and Ruffa, syempre I thought yun na talaga yun diba"
"Pinanood mo ba yung video?"
"Yeah"
"Did you hear her says "eeeewww" to me?"
She didnt answer
"I also watched your IG with Josh, may pa segue ka pa na may nagdala ng ice cream, bawal sayo yun diba? Hulaan ko ba kung kanino galing? Pinapasok mo na sya sa unit mo?"
"How many times ba ako magpapaliwanag? Oo, dumaan sya sa unit nagdala ng ice cream, hes calling me, getting to know each other"
"Ah, kaya may date sa makati?"
"Oh My God! Nooo, he just appeared dun sa resto where me and Michael is having lunch"
"You think im buying that? Hindi siya mag aappear kung di mo sinabi kung nasaan ka"
"Herbert naman"
"Did you tell him kung nasan ka kaya sya nag appear? Kristina?"
"Nagpunta ba tayo dito para ienterogate mo ko?"
"No, I just want to clear things out. Nangyari na dati to eh, si Gideon.."
"Ok, uulitin ko i tried to entertain the Vice Governor, i only tried, we texts yes guilty ako, dumalaw yes din.. pero Herbert you think kung nag succeed yun sasama ba ko sayo?"
"Gagawin mo ba yan everytime na mag aaway tayo? Alam mo ba kung gaano ako ka bwisit nung nakita ko yung post mo? Gumagawa ako ng regalo tapos malalaman ko may ineentertain ka ng iba, nako Kristina"
"Sorry"
"Pasalamat ka talaga at mahal na mahal kita" he pinched her chin
She wrapped her arms around his waist, "Sorry, Babe"
"Dont do it again, hindi na tayo mga bata para gawin mo yan, and about kay Ruffa, can you trust me, wala lang yun.. and please stop seeing that annoying Vice Governor, uupakan ko yan" he pretended to flex his "muscles" daw hahaha "kita mo to? Sapakin ko yun"
"Babe, ang pangiiit hahahah"
"Seriously Mahal, wag mo ng uulitin yun ha, papayagan lang kitang mag entertain ng manliligaw kapag sinabi mo na sa kin ng diretso sa mata ko na ayaw mo na ko sa buhay mo at di mo na ko mahal with conviction dapat ha"
"Ay wow feel mo naman head over heels ako sayo"
"Sige nga sabihin mo sakin ngayon na di mo na ko mahal, dali" he turn her face to him, made eye contact
"Why would I do that? Eh mahal kita? Corny mo!"
"Edi I love you too hahah"
"Wait may naalala ko, sabi mo may importante kang ginawa nung di ka nagpapakita sakin, whats that?"
"Hindi mo na kailangang alamin, halika na balik na tayo sa car"
The sun is starting to set, cloud is orange, you can hear the beach waves, along with Kris and Herberts laugh, they are walking barefoots enjoying every steps together hand in hand, while watching the sunset forgetting about what happened this past few days, forgives one another.

She squeezed his hands
"Why?" He asked
"Back to reality na ulit"
"Stress ka ba sa bahay?"
"Not that much, its more of boredom"
"Edi mamaya tayo uwi, or bukas gusto mo mag drive tayo magdamag eh, or we can stay here muna, kaso nag aalala ako baka sipunin ka kasi malamig"
