"Ladies and gentlemen we have just landed at Ninoy Aquino International Airport. Cebu Pacific Air welcomes you to El Nido Palawan . On behalf of your flight and crew Headed by Captain Lopez with first officer Bernales and the rest of the team we thank you for choosing Cebu Pacific, your airlines of choice"

Inayos ko muna ang sarili ko bago bumaba, i looked at the woman beside me at tulog padin sya

should I wake her up?

i tapped her shoulder to wake her up, it's a good thing nagising din kaagad sya

"Oh? we're here? Thank you for waking me up, see you around?" sabi nito bago nauna nang tumayo at umalis

I held unto nadine's frame at bumaba na din, hailed a cab at dumeretsyo sa hotel na pina book ko kay lay..

pagdating ko ng front desk i saw her , again,
her facial expression says na may problema siguro sa hotel booking nya

lumapit ako sa katabi nya, inasikaso naman kaagad ako ng isa pang employee, i gave her my identification at chineck nito yung room number ko

while waiting, i didn't meen to pry pero narinig ko kung bakit mukang nammroblema si Ms Campbell

"Pwedeng i double check mo miss? I'm sure nakapag book talaga ako beforehand"

"Wala talaga mam, we can refer you to other hotels if you want to"

"Pero—"

Hindi ko na narinig yung sinasabi nila nang dumating na yung isang empleyado dala ang hotel key card ko.

"Uhm"

"Yes sir? may kailangan pa po ba kayo?"

"Uh is it possible na magpa add ng additional bed to my suite? i mean it's spacious right? it's more than enough for another bed to fit"

tumingin ito sakin at saka sa katabi kong babae, bago ito ngumiti

"What a nice thing to do sir, we can arrange that as per your wish"

that made me smile, i looked at the person next to me and she doesn't look okay

i fished out the handkerchief she gave me, and then i gave it to her. She looked up and maybe surprised to see me AGAIN in the same hotel...

"Uy! ikaw nanaman. uhm thank you dito i think i really need it"

"Uh—Do you mind telling me what's the problem? you—you don't look happy like always"

"Ah eto ba? eh kasi naman hindi daw nakalista ang pangalan ko sa mga nag book ng hotel room, i could always find another hotel but you see i really need to check in this hotel in order to find myself" mahabang lintanya nito

i didn't really get her reason

the staff signaled me that they were done, so i grabbed her hand and dragged her in front of my suite

"Hey! bakit mo bako dinala dito?!"

"You want a hotel room right?"

"Oo nga—pero sayo toh diba?"

tumango ako bago binuksan ang pinto, i looked inside and saw the two bedrooms a little kitchen and dining table, there's also a mini living room at the center. Pretty spacious

"You —You'd share your suite for me?"

"You looked pretty desperate to have any room, so just count this as a thank you for comforting me that day" sabi ko at pumasok na sa kwarto ko

pabagsak akong humiga sa kama at iniharap sakin ang Picture ni Nadine

"Baby, i did the right thing right? i was just being nice or was i nosy?"
i took a loud breath and drifted myself to sleep..
