Chapter 23

After my graduation, I did all the things that I wanted. I party and drink every night with my friends in Justin's bar because I feel so comfortable there. I'm happy with those days that I spend in my nightlife. Dad was just letting me do things that I want.

I traveled to different places with my best friends, we went back to Siargao and stay there for a month and we make most of our time staying there. The nightlife was awesome in Siargao. But then, someone always reminds me in every corner of this place that's why I always distract myself from anything that can make me forget him for a while.

I cannot just let myself be drowned in that thought of missing him every day. I have to move and be happy on my own. Malay natin, masanay ako at makalimutan ko na siya.

After a month in Siargao, we've had enough so we went to Palawan, and since dad will build a new resort there so he wants me to go there first to see a glimpse of his plans. We will be staying here for another week because we will have to go to another place.

At this moment, nasa tabing dagat lang kami at uminom. Looks like we are already halfway in our bucket list.

"It's your turn," Bianca handed the small glass to Justin at agad naman niyang ininom 'yon.

"Okay pa ba mga atay natin? Parang araw araw tayong umiinom," Julia said out of concern.

"So what? Mamatay rin naman tayong lahat," sabi ko.

"Oo nga pero kasi pagod na akong sumuka talaga, nakakainis! Buti pa kayo hindi nasusuka!" inggit niyang sabi sabay inom ng alak.

"Malikot ka kasi lalo na 'yang mata kakahanap ng gwapo," Julia said and rolled her eyes at her and she held her chest lookin' surprise with what Julia said to her.

"Ay nahiya naman ako sa'yo, sana all may jowa diba? Maghihiwalay rin kayo,"

"Hoy hindi ah!" Julia defended herself from Bianca.

"Sus, ewan ko nalang diyan sa jowa mong lima ang mukha. Diba Lauren?" she always like to hit on everyone of us.

"Shut up," Lauren rolled her eyes and drink another shot.

"Uy affected," Justin teased her by touching her chin at mas lalo lang siyang napikon.

I forgot to tell you that she has a history with a man who has the same surname as Julia's boyfriend. What is it? Uh...Raven? Yeah, Raven del Rango, her ex-boyfriend. I just don't know what happened to them back when we were still in High School.

Ayaw niya na rin kasing pag usapan kaya hindi ko na rin sinasabi. Hindi rin sumasagi sa isip ko. Minsan lang.

"Stop! I already moved on! Come on, mga bata pa kami noon," sabi niya pero 'yong dalawang makulit kong kaibigan talagang kinukulit talaga siya.

"Really? Is that the reason why you haven't still had a boyfriend?" I asked just to tease her too and she's glaring at me now.

"Antagal na, guys! It was just puppy love, okay? Bakit ba ako sinisita niyo? Sa tagal tagal ngayon pa talaga tayo bumalik sa nakaraan! Gusto niyo ba ungkatin ko mga nakaraan niyo?" Oh no, please.

"Come on, it was just a joke," Justin said but still with that teasing look.

Talagang nag aasaran lang kami doon sa may tabing dagat. I just find it fulfilling having this kind of bonding with them because I waited for this to happen. I also love my supporting dad who always supports me with my decision not to work now.

"Ang boring! Wala akong ka fling!" inis na sabi ni Bianca habang yakap ang bote ng alak.

"Oh, so you're looking for a boyfriend now?" Julia asked and she immediately shook her head.
