Chapter 29

“Will the CEO be with us today?” Venisse asked while putting some sunscreen on her skin in front of my vanity. 

“Baka hindi. He's the CEO, he's a busy person. Hindi lang naman ‘to ang inaasikaso niya. Tsaka malungkot pa ‘yon.” Si Ether, kinukulot ang buhok sa gilid ni Veni. May sarili naman silang kwarto pero dito sila nangugulo sa akin. “How about you, Aly. What do you think?”

“I don’t know.” Sagot ko, abala sa pagrereply kay Kalvin. Online siya ngayon sa Instagram account pero malapit na rin matulog. “Maybe he’s busy or still mourning.” Hindi ko naman alam ang schedule niya o kung ano ang gusto niyang gawin. 

“Hindi pa ba kayo nag-usap? Diba kasama mo siya kahapon?”

Umangat ang tingin ko kay Ether. She was looking at me through the mirror, still curling her hair. “We don’t talk that much.” 

I suddenly remember the scene earlier. I woke up with a new pair of clothes but the same underwear and a clean face. My hair is brushed nicely and smooth though I never remember removing my ponytail. Is he the one who took care of me? Nag kibit-balikat ako. Baka may inutusan siyang iba. Marami naman siyang staff na pwede akong asikasuhin. Pero may gising pa ba ng gano’ng oras?

“This is our schedule for today.” Pasimula ni Luan habang nakangiti.

She’s in her high ponytail wearing a one shoulder top bikini paired with denim shorts and a flower earrings. She has a small curvy lips, pointed nose, and a monolid eyes. I'm a witnessed of Del-cojuanco's beauty like they're one of the favorite creation of God.

We were on the middle of our breakfast and meeting when Tyrell arrives. He gave a peek of kiss on Luan’s cheeks, a tap on Khalil and Yrixx and a casual greetings for the three of us. Ether shifted on her seat, like something start to bother her. May past ba sila? Ngayon palang ata sila nag kita. Hindi naman sila napang-abot sa Lamay. I just knew that Yrixx Sirvance and Venisse has something before, when they’re young.

I’ve heard that Tyrell is the present president of DCGC and the head of the resort’s design and planning department. I don’t know why are they here because obviously, they’re kind of busy individuals. Masyado bang mataas ang tingin nila sa amin kaya sila mismo ang humaharap sa aming tatlo?

Sasamahan nila kaming mag-tour sa buong resort ngayong umaga. Meron naman kaming conference meeting sa gabi, officially announcing that we are part of the DCGC. Si Tyrell ang papalit kay Travis bilang kasama ko sa pag lilibot. Hindi naman nag bago ang sa mga kaibigan ko.

I wore an off shoulder black top enough to see my abs paired with a high waist white shorts. Venisse is wearing a white tankini top and side tie bikini while Ether is nailing her black bustier top along with a red ruched bottom. The three of us are already summer ready.

After our breakfast and minutes of rest, Tyrell announced the start of our tour. Naka-park na ang cart na sasakyan namin para sa tour. Pang dalawang tao ang desensyo ng amin. Isa para sa driver at sa katabi. Siguro, sila Tyrell narin ang magdadrive.

“Which do you prefer to be called? Ava or Aly?” Tanong ni Tyrell. Nakasakay na siya sa driver seat. Ako naman ay pasakay na rin.

“Uhmm, Aly?” Hindi ko siguradong sagot. Kaswal siyang ngumiti at tumango.

Nang una kaming nag kita ulit, hindi naman kami masyadong nakapag-usap ni Tyrell sa lamay. Saglit lang din siya doon at umalis rin. Hindi ko rin alam kung may pag-uusapan pa ba kami? Wala naman kaming naging problema at naging mabait naman siya sa akin no’ng nasa puder pa ako ng pinsan niya.
