Chapter 42
Phone Call
He slowly opened his eyes. Probably Lyeanne was just fooling around.
"Nakalapag na ang eroplano," marahan kong sinambit dahil baka maalimpungatan siya.
He smiled sleepily and kissed my lips. My cheeks heated. Tumingala ako upanh tingnan kung may tao ba o wala.
Lumabas na kami ng eroplano. "What are we doing here Xy?" tanong ko nang igiya niya ako paupo sa isang bench sa labas ng airport.
"Were waiting for them..." he trailed off.
Nagkibit balikat lang ako at hindi na tinanong kung sino ang hinihintay namin.
"Where are we going?" I asked again.
"Dolomite." hinaplos niya ang buhok ko.
I searched it on the internet.
"Sabi dito ay Milan ang pinakamalapit na airport doon. Bakit dito tayo sa Venice?"
"Because of the ones we're waiting. Damn. They are pain in the ass. My original plan was to use our chopper." I rolled my eyes because of this boasting tone.
Itatanong ko sana kung sino ang hinihintay namin pero nagsalita ulit siya. "Nandito na sila." nakatingin siya sa kanyang telepono habang sinasabi yon.
He pulled me up and both of us faced the entrance. My eyes widened when I saw Dale in his pilot uniform together with Deila and Yra also with their respective uniforms.
Impit na tumili ang dalawa nang makalapit at niyakap ako. Ibinahagi din ni Dale ang mga braso niya para sa isang mahigpit na yakap.
"Nella! OMG!" Deila snatched my right hand. Pati si Yra ay nakiusyuso din.
"There's our car," Xy announced,cutting my cousins from the excitement.
"Sinadya niyo bang maassign sa isang lugar?" tanong ko nang makapasok kami sa sasakyan.
"No, just a coincidence. This happened to me and Deila a lot of times already."
"Kailan si Xy nagpropose! Wag mo kaming walain Wanella." natawa ako kay Yra.
"Two days ago." I answered honestly making the two of them shriek.
"Kailan ang kasal?" naghihisteryang tanong ni Deila.
"We haven't planned that yet. We'll talk about it after this vacation."
"Hindi ako naniniwalang hindi pa nakakapagplano yan." humalukipkip si Dale at itinuro si Xy.
Xy smirked and just changed the topic. "Where are we gonna drop you?" Xy asked.
"Hotel Excelsior." si Dale ang sumagot.
Lagpas na ng isang oras mula nang makababa ang tatlo at pumupungay narin ang mga mata ko. Tiningnan ko ang oras. Three-twenty am.
"Sleep, Milady." Xy caressed my palm. I nodded and closed my eyes.
Four-thirty am na nang makarating kami sa Varenna.
Xy booked a two night stay at Albergo Milano. It was facing the Lake Como, and yeah, I love the view. I took a few shots of it.
The sunset was so amazing. It was a mixture of orange, yellow and blue together with the white clouds that look like a crown of the mountain.
Sa sumunod na araw ay maaga kaming gumising ni Xy.
"Are you enjoying this?" he hugged me from the back, we're both watching the lake.
"Oo naman. Thank you for this." hinalikan ko ang pisngi niya at agad siyang napangiti.
"Not contented," he said before claiming my lips.
"Is it okay for you to go hiking?" he asked carefully.
I gasped and a bit of cowardness crept within me. The thought of our last hiking rained on my mind. That was the cause of the biggest trauma I carried for years. But I think I'm a little bit over about it now. I smiled. "Yeah," I said slowly.
Humigpit ang yakap niya sa akin at dinungaw ako. "Sigurado ka?"
"Yeah, I think it'll be okay if I'll try."
"I want you to finally get ovee what happened years ago. I'll help you." he kissed my cheek.
Kabado ako habang umaakyat kami pero nabawasan yun dahil hawak ni Xy ang kamay ko.
And thinking that the price I'll be getting after this is gonna be worth it, makes me calm a bit more.
Sobrang saya ko nang nakarating na kami. The lake is so beautiful if watched by here. There was statue-like ghosts everywhere.
After that, we went to the garden of Villa Monastero. All I can say is Iz'm having so much fun.
We're having our breakfast at the terrace of our room. Pagkatapos nito, tutulak na kami papuntang Bolzano. I watched the beautiful scenery as I sipped on my tea.
I just got out of the bathroom and I already changed. My eyes widened a bit seeing the room was clean.
"Ikaw ang naglinis?" manghang tanong ko kay Xy. Mayabang siyang tumango.
And yeah... I was a bit stunned. I'm not saying that he's messy years ago but hell... It looks like he's more organized than me now.
Lumapit siya sa akin at hinalikan ang noo ko. "It's a shame if I'm gonna be a messy husband while you're so neat."
My face heated. He's thinking about that?
Alas dose trenta y kwatro na nang makarating kami sa Bolzano.
We dropped off in Restaurant 37 to eat lunch.
"Did you enjoy the hiking yesterday? Were you not scared?" si Xy. Hindi ko na mabilang kung ilang ulit na niyang natanong yon.
I sighed and about to answer him when my phone rang. It's my secretary,Caitlin.
Anong problema? Bumuntong hininga ako at sinagot yun. "Hello, Cait?"
She sighed heavily on the other line. "Ma'am, I apologize for disturbing you. I called to ask for your permission about giving your number to Miss Villacorta. She keeps on insisting on calling you personally, and I'm sorry you have to hear this Maam, but she's agitated."
Kumunot ang noo ko. Nang kinansela ko ang pagkikita namin, ayos naman sa kanya. Bakit ngayon?
I sighed. "It's alright Cait. Give her my digits." I saw the waiter served the first course.
"Sino ang tumawag?" tanong ni Xy.
I shut my eyes tightly. "My secretary. I have a problem with a certain client."
"Ano-" hindi niya na natapos ang pagsasalita nang tumunog nanaman ang telepono ko.
This time it's from an unknown number. It's probably Miss Villacorta.
Sinagot ko ang tawag na yon. "Hello good evening, am I talking too Nella Salazar?" yun ang bungad sa akin.
"Yes, this is she, what can I do for you Miss Villacorta?"
