Belle's POV

MY friends and I alongside Lawrence decided to go at Santander bay beach located in Madrid. I've never been on that beach but I've been in Madrid. Madrid is the capital city of Spain that screams elegancy.

It is well renowned for its rich repositories of European art.

"Belle di kaba kinakabahan?" Napatingin ako sa kasama kong panay ang kapit sa'kin.

"Hindi," maikli kong sabi rito. Bakit naman ako kakabahan? I was born in Spain, I stayed there for a long years and I don't see any reasons para kabahan ako.

"Belle? Naka reserved pala tayo sa first class flight, that's expensive." Tinignan ko ang ticket namin at totoo nga First class ang na book ng secretary ni papa. Yes it's high priced but adequately comfortable for a long trip, 18 hours 'yung biyahe namin and first class is a good choice.

"Yes it is, but it's also comfy for a long trip," nakit kong napatango tango ang dalawa kong kasama. Lawrence is walking ahead us while pulling my luggage. He insist to do that, 'yung mga kasama ko naman ay panay ang pang-aasar sa'kin.

"Oi, di mo naman sinabi Belle na magdi-date pala kayo ni Lawrence. Sinama mo pa kami pero di' bale na maging third wheel at fourth wheel basta makapunta lang sa Spain hehe diba Daisy?" Tumango naman si Daisy bilang pagsang-ayon rito.

Actually, I'm not supposed to bring Lawrence with me lalo na't trip with friends ito pero kasi gusto kong bumawi noong nire-reject ko 'yung offer niyang date para lang makapag-aral.

I think this is a good choice kasi para ring stress na stress siya eh laging tulala at may iniisip. I don't wan't to ask what is he thinking kasi baka masakal siya sa relasyon namin, that's toxic.

Nang makarating na kami sa first class ay dali daling pumunta sa upuan niya si Julie at nag-selfie. She took a selfie every corner of this area, sabi kasi ng mama niya na magselfie at magpicture siya ng marami para memorable pero nasobraan ata 'yung pagpi-picture niya.

"Baby?" Napalingon ako kay Lawrence nang tawagin niya ako. Nakaupo na pala siya sa assigned seat niya. Ang first class ay meron itong one room with 4 seats sakto lang sa'min.

"Yes Babe," Nag-aalala kong tugon rito, may bumabagabag ba sa isip nito? Kanina pa siya tahimik and that's so unlikely of him. I sit beside him and caress his face, pinikit niya ang mga mata niya dahil sa paghaplos ko.

"Is there anything wrong Babe?" Umiling siya habang nakapikit pa'rin.

"Nothing Baby... " He mumbled to assure me but I don't believe him, I'm sure there is something wrong.

"Okay," I whispered. I stopped caressing his face and kiss his forehead before leaning to my seat. The seats is very comfy at meron din kaming screen sa harapan. This seat can turn into a bed and the ambiance is very cozy.

I feel him holds my hand and plant a kiss on it. Hinayaan ko nalang siya at tinignan ang time ko. Mukhang 1:00 Am kami magla-land sa Madrid, 7:00 Am 'yung flight namin so bukas ng madaling araw pa kami makakarating sa Madrid.

Mabuti nalang at nakapag- check in si Lawrence ng nearby hotel sa beach na pupuntahan namin.

"Baby, you're not gonna leave me right?" I looked at him bewilderedly after hearing what he said. What made him think na iiwan ko siya? I don't sight any possible reason to leave him tho.

"I won't, of course" I plastered a smile to assure him.

I heard him sighed and lean on his seat while holding my hand.

"That's a relief... thank you," narinig kong bulong nito habang nakapikit. Why can't he share his struggle to me?

Hindi ko nalang 'yun pinansin at kinuha 'yung phone ko. Naka Airplane mode ito pero naka connect naman ako sa WiFi, first class offers inflight WiFi. I opened my email at nakita ko ang pangalan ni Angeline rito.
