OS #1: Chain Of Restrictions

21st Restriction

Events

I can't help but to feel happy. Masama bang sabihin na sobrang saya ko ngayon? I feel like I'm somewhat floating on cloud nine right now.

Naging emosyonal ako. Ramdam ko ang pagtulo ng luha sa gilid ng aking mga mata. I'm not crying because I'm sad.

Dang. This is tears of joy!

He just said he loves me!

Inayos ko ang pagkakaupo, at mabilis siyang nilingon para yakapin. Panandalian siyang nagulat but he then hugged me back.

Gosh, I can hug him forever just like this. Narinig niya ang mahina kong paghikbi.

"Baby, what's wrong?" 

He was about to pull out but I tightened my hold on him.

I want to say it, too.

I was about to open my mouth and say the words back but I stopped midway when I saw Carter. He was standing right in front of us. No emotion in his eyes.

I went out from Hugh's arms and stood up. I secretly wipe off my tears kahit alam kong nakita na ni Carter 'yon.

"Carter!" Dinig naming tawag and soon Kreia appears.

When she saw me, she was shocked. Napatingin siya sa kasama ko kung saan si Hugh ay nakatayo na sa aking tabi.

"Dana?" gulat ang makikita sa mata ni Kreia. 

It was really awkward. Carter just saw Hugh and I in each others arms. 

Tiningnan ni Kreia si Carter, may kung anong emosyon sa kanyang mga mata. 

Bumalik ang aking pansin kay Carter when he suddenly laughs.

"S-Sorry, my bad." pilit ang ngiting sabi niya at tumalikod.

"Sige, D-Dana." sabi ni Kriea bago mabilis na sinundan si Carter.

Naramdaman ko ang paghawak ni Hugh sa aking balikat, comforting me in some way. I don't know but I can feel that something is up.

Today is our fourth day here in the resort. At mamayang 3:00 pm ay uuwi na kami. We are making the best of the day. Pero pansin ko ang pagkawala sa mood nina Carter and Kreia.

I saw how Kreia tries to talk with Carter, while Carter just blankly nodding his head. Napansin din ni Mika 'yon pero wala siyang sinabi kaya wala na rin din akong sinabi pa.

We rode a banana boat as our final adventure of the day. We ask for the driver to speed up and make us fall into the sea. We also asked them to video us and take some pictures.

"Tangina!" Nerbyos na sigaw ni Karsyn ng mas bumibilis na ang andar ng speedboat na humihila sa amin. Mas ramdam na rin namin ang pagtalbog ng banana boat dahil sa mga alon.

Mahigpit akong kumapit sa hawakan at malakas na sumali sa tilian nina Karsyn, Nicholette at Dahlia. While Mika on the other hand is quiet habang nasa pinaka unahan.

We were caught off guard when the speedboat suddenly turn on the opposite side dahilan ng biglang pag katumba nang banana boat. Lahat kami ay nahulog sa dagat. I even drank some of the sea water.

Agad akong umahon at lumanghap ng hangin. Humapdi ang aking ilong sanhi ng pagpasok ng tubig alat.

"That was amazing!" Parang wala lang kay Dahlia ang biglaang pagkatumba namin. Napatawa ako habang iniipit ang ilong upang hindi ito humapdi.

"Baby, come here."

Hugh went to my back and push me up, pasakay ng banana boat. Tinulungan ko naman siya at hinawakan ang kanyang mamasel na braso upang hilahin.
