Our Trip to Remember

2

"GISING NA! GISING NA!"

Nagising kaming lahat nang may sumigaw at nagtatatalon sa mga kama. I opened my phone para tignan kung anong oras na at nanggigising na tong babaeng to

"gosh Sam its 7:30 AM. Patulugin mo pa kami masiyado pang maaga" half asleep kong sinabi. Binatuhan naman ni Xandra ng pillow si Samantha sa inis kasi hindi naman kami nagigising talaga ng maaga

"aray! grabe ah wake up na kasi excited na ako magbeach tsaka magpicture picture no ayaw niyo ba"

Wala nang sumagot sakaniya, we went back to sleep kahit nagsasalita pa si Sam. Gustuhin man naming gumising na para mamaximize yung time ng pagstay namin dito, pagod kaming lahat sa biyahe kagabi.

Pagkagising ko, its already 9:00 in the morning. Samantha was nowhere to be found. Malamang lumabas na siguro yun sa taas ba naman ng energy kanina na parang first time mag bakasyon at dinamay pa kaming tatlo. Akala ko nasa cr sila Ven and Xandy nagaayos pero wala rin. Turns out iniwan na nila akong mag-isa dito sa room. Naligo na agad ako. I wore a yellow bikini topped with maong shorts pati manipis na shirt para makita parin yung bikini top ko. When I was about to open the door para lumabas, may note pala silang iniwan and dinikit nila sa may door, eye level nila dinikit kaya nakita ko rin kaagad.

'gigisingin ka sana namin pero sobrang sarap ng tulog mo, humihilik ka pa nga eh.

hanapin mo nalang kami sa may beach, we will just strall or swim there, see you Lex!'

Lumabas na rin ako ng room to find them. Pero before ako pumuntang beach, nagorder na muna ako ng mango shake para matchy matchy sila ng bikini ko. I waited for my order and when it finally came, dumeretso na ako sa may beach area. Nakita ko naman agad sila kasi nagpipikunan nanaman sila Sam at Xandy. Ven is peacefully sleeping sa beach bed, nagpapa-tan yata.

"hey you should've waked me up kahit super sarap ng tulog ko no" pagtatampong sabi ko

Napahinto naman sila Sam and Xandy sa pag-aasaran and looked at my direction

"there you are sleeping beauty" sabi ni Sam

"eh pano ka namin gigisingin? tulog mantika ka yata kanina parang ikaw pa yung pagod mag drive diyan" panenermon ni Xandy

Ven also faced me, "hello sleepy pants" turned out hindi pala siya natutulog, nagsusun bathing lang pala.

Nakita ni Ven yung mango shake na hawak ko kaya agad naman siyang bumangon para agawin yun. Nilayo niya rin sa direction ko para hindi ko makuha at para madami siyang mainom. Sumunod na rin sila Sam at Xandy humingi ng shake without even asking for my permission.

Umupo nalang ako sa beach bed and crossed my arms para alam nilang nagtatampo na ako. Paano ba naman kasi umagang umaga, iiwan nila ako magisa sa room tapos ngayon yung mango shake ko iinuman nilang lahat. Alam naman nilang favorite ko yung mango shake. Nakita naman ako ni Ven kaya sinabihan na sila Sam

"uy ibigay niyo na nakasimangot na oh" sabay turo sakin

Siniko rin ni Xandy si Sam sabay turo sa akin para ibalik na sa akin yung shake

"mm ito na sorry masarap pala ang mango shake" sabi ni Sam na humigop pa ng madami bago ibalik sa akin. Nakita ko pa na may tumulo sa mouth niya napadami kasi ng higop.

Kinuha ko naman agad yung shake ko tsaka ako ngumiti na parang bata kaya naman tinawanan nanaman ako nila Xandy, Ven at Sam. Hindi ko nalang sila pinansin at inubos na yung shake. Pumunta na rin si Sam sa beach, hila hila si Xandy na halatang ayaw pa mag swim. Nagpahintay naman ako kay Ven para sabay kaming sumunod kila Sam.

After ko maglagay ng sunblock, niyaya ko na si Ven pumunta sa beach para makasunod na kila Xandy but she said na pass muna siya mas gugustuhin niya daw munang humiga and mag sun bathing kaya pumunta nalang rin ako kila Xandy. They were taking photos kaya I didn't hesitate to join para may mga mapost rin ako sa social media ko no. We made poses and took a picture of each other until sa magutom na kami. We didn't eat breakfast pa and its already 11:00 kaya we went back to Ven para yayain na rin siya magbrunch.

After ordering foods, all of us ordered mango shake! grabe nagustuhan nga talaga nila yung shake ko kanina. I took a picture of our food and posted it sa story ko on Instagram. Nagkwentuhan lang kami while eating. We laughed sa mga memories namin sa beach last vacation, we also made fun of each other sa mga epic na nangyari sa school last year and by that, we finished or breakfast. We went back to the beach para magswim na kasi picture lang talaga ginawa namin kanina. We did not run and move ng sobra kasi katatapos lang rin namin kumain.

"ill go there muna to drink water kayo ba?" Ven asked us with a concerned tone because we were under the sun for some time now.

Umahon na rin kaming tatlo to follow Venice. Ayaw rin naman naming sumakit yung ulo due to dehydration. We went to our beach beds to get our towels tsaka pumunta sa may resto to get some water. After drinking a glass or two, we all went back to the beach. We played several games na para bang wala kaming kasama sa beach. We didn't care about how people will think of us basta we know na we are enjoying.

We played tag and kung sinuswerte nga naman, ako yung first na manghahabol. The catcher will count one to ten tapos dun na siya magstastart magtag. While counting, inisip ko na kung sino yung tatayain ko, yung pinakamadaling habulin and then naisip ko na si Ven feeling ko mabagal siya tumakbo kasi hindi naman siya masiyado nagjojoin sa amin if maglalaro kami ng habulan. Bata man kung iisipin yung habulan na laro, this is the game we enjoy the most.

"Ran as fast as you can ladies, I'm about to get you" sigaw na sabi ko for them to be aware that Ill start chasing them na

I ran as fast as I could para mahabol yung isa sakanila. Tinarget ko si Ven kasi mabilis tumakbo sila Sam and Xandy. Minutes have passed and wala pa rin akong nahahabol. I continued running until I tripped. A guy went to me and helped me stand up. He offered his hand for me to have a support para tumayo and I held his hand rin para mas madali tumayo.

"ouch!"

He sat down on his knee para maging magkalevel na kami. Nilabas niya yung handkerchief niya and wiped the blood off of my knee gently. His scent was sweet but manly. He was wearing a white polo which is revealing his abs and a beach shorts.

"Are you okay miss?" He asked with a low voice.

"What do you think huh? I tripped, my knee is bleeding and here you are asking if I'm okay"

"Oh right, sorry"

His sorry made me feel bad about myself kasi siya na nga tumutulong sa akin, sinusungitan ko pa. I changed my mood and thanked him. He just replied with a nod. Hala nainis na yata sa akin kasi siya na nga tong nagmamagandang loob na tumulong, parang siya pa yung sinusungitan. I felt bad and looked down as I watched him na linisan yung sugat ko. Naramdaman kong he looked at me but I didn't looked back. I was shy kasi sinungitan ko siya eh wala naman siyang kasalanan. After niyang malinisan yung sugat ko, blinow niya rin para magdry ng konti.

"Next time, be careful. The handkerchief is yours na, wag mo muna tanggalin para may cover yung sugat mo." He said with a serious tone. Tumayo na rin siya and was about to leave.

"Thank you" Pahabol na sabi ko. He stopped walking and looked back

"Youre welcome"

"I'm Maegan"

I introduced myself using my first name kasi nakasanayan ko na. Only the people close to me calls me by my second name. I offered my hand signalling na I am being friendly and for him to say his name. He was about to offer his hand rin but his friend appeared.

"Bro nandito ka lang pala. Kanina pa kita hinahanap. Tara na dun kila Kurt, Diane is looking for you namimiss ka na daw"

"I have to go by the way I'm Kyle"
