Keep Holding On

The Arrival (Part 2)

Franco's POV

Damn. Eksaktong ala-sinco na at pababa na kami ng pool area pero wala pa rin akong nakikitang sign ni Rhian. Teka? Is she know about us? Is she avoiding us?

Marco didn't know the real reason why I plan this vacation. Nasanay lang talaga akong si Alex ang madalas kong nakaka-kwetuhan tungkol sa babaeng nakita ko nung birthday namin. She know that I even hired an investigator to search for her for the past three months naghanap ako, tapos sila Mommy lang pala ang makakapag bigay sa akin ng lead.

While the boys are preparing to go downstairs Zia knock the door. Damn maybe Rhian is here and she will tell us "Kuya, I will finish my proposal for my new designs. I can't join you to swim. I called Rhian and she is on her way. May pinaayos pala siyang laptop kaya natagalan siya." Tsk kaya pala. She can buy a new laptop.

"Yeah it's okay. Just make sure that you will join us to dinner." Marco replied at tinanguan ko lang siya.

"I can see that you are so excited." bulong sa akin ni Alex sabay smirked.

"Shut up." I replied.

We are all wearing robes and under that is only a piece of trunk. Bakit naman kami mahihiya sa mala bench body naming katawan plus the face. Female visitors are drooling on us. Bilib din naman ako sa mga staff dito napaka professional. Lalo na yung Ara and Jelly, they talked to us like we are not bachelors. Don't get me wrong, sanay kaming hinihingian nang numbers at maraming nagpapa pansin pero dito we just like normal faces for them. All of the life guards are attentive they really doing their job and they seems all trained.

"Hey Marco, this place is really good. And oh I need to meet their chef, the food is so damn delicious" pagpuri pa ni Chris.

"So are you going to offer hundred of thousands to steal our chef ?" pang aasar ni Marco.

"Shut up Man. Just wanna appreciate the chef." Chris replied while laughing.

habang nag uusap-usap sila lumapit sa akin ang isang staff "Siñorito dito po kayo sa private pool. Mas maganda ang view. Kung gusto niyo magpa umaga makikita niyo dito ang sunrise. Dito din daw kayo mag hahapunan. Saktong 7:30 po ihahain ang pagkain."

"Sure. Thank you" I politely said.

"I like this place. Nabasa ko sa brosure may mga nag papa book dito for business purposes only or di naman kaya occasions booking" Sabi ni Lindon

"Yeah and you know what pare, kanina bumaba ako, your Mom allow outside vendors to sell their products para maka benta daw. At yung mga foods na hindi nabenta, instead na itapon pinimigay nila sa mga bata sa labas pero tingnan mo, di tulad sa Manila na napaka gulo." mahabang sabi ni Chris.

"Parang di niyo naman kilala si Tita, mahilig tumulong. And I'm sure na binilin niya na yan. I agree, this place is worth it. Hindi ka mang hihinayang sa pera." dagdag pa ni Alex. Nagkangitian lang kami ni Marco.

Damn. It's about time for our dinner pero hindi pa rin nagpapakita yung Rhian. Anong oras na. Ganun ba kaayaw nang tadhanang magkita kami?
