Chapter 33

Saan naman kaya kami pupunta ngayon?

I've been thinking about it for the whole day. Kung dadalhin niya ulit ako sa ibang lugar, it would be fantastic pero wala kasing pumapasok sa isip kong lugar na maaari niya akong dalhin. And the funny thing here is we still hangout even after the training. I don't know what I should feel about that or should there be?

Bahala na!

"Will you be going home late?" Kuya Henry asked.

I shrugged off. "I have no idea. He didn't tell me where we would be going so I guess it's a surprise—and I'm sure, he's not going to ask me to be his girlfriend because in this lifetime I don't think that'll ever happen."

Napataas ng kilay si kuya kaya naman kumusot ang mukha ko.

"What's with the look?" I questioned.

He shook his head. "I wasn't thinking about that. I was just testing you."

I rolled my eyes. "Mukha mo, kuya."

"And look who's coming..." aniya.

Nang tiningnan ko kung saan siya nakatingin ay bahagya akong napangiti. He just changed his shirt. Nakangiti rin naman itong naglakad papalapit sa amin. I immediately get out of the truck and met him on the ground.

"Is your shift over?" I asked.

He nodded. "Yeah, are you ready to go?'

"Where are we really going?" I wondered, creasing my forehead.

"Somewhere else," tipid nitong sagot sa akin. "Just don't ask, I know you'll like it. I know you will."

I squinted my eyes saka niya ako tinawanan lang. Nang magpaalam kami kay kuya at Rasha ay binalalaan naman ni kuya si Valerio na kapag ginabi kaming dalawa ay kailangan niya akong ihatid sa bahay. It doesn't seem like it was a problem for him dahil pumayag kaagad ito.

"What are you feeling now?" he asked while we're heading towards the parking lot where he parked his bike.

Napakibit balikat ako. "I'm feeling good... I think I'm satisfied with the decision I made and all the things I did."

"Good for you," he commented.

"What about you? What are you feeling now? Why do I sense that something is going on?"

He smirked, shaking his head. "Nah... nothing, just a normal feeling."

"Hm... is that so?" Tumango pa siya sa akin para panindigan iyon. "But I most wondering where we would be going today. Are we gonna fly to Queensland?" I jokingly said.

"What if we do?"

Nanlaki ang mata ko sa sinabi niya saka ako bahagyang natigilan. "You must be joking, right? I was just joking."

He laughed and wrapped his arms over my shoulder. "We may be not going to Queensland at any moment now, I can assure you that someday we will be on that trip and you'll be able to experience Irwin's zoo there."

"Maybe next summer," I suggested. "We can do it by then."

"Or maybe on your another school break?"

I chuckled. "I don't know about that. Maybe summer is better so I can save up some money. A lot of things happened lately and I cannot afford any ticket go to Queensland. But that's gonna be a date. Let's settle it sooner."

"Sure and maybe after that, we'll go to the Great Barrier Reef."

"What you are suggesting is all far from where we are," I said to him.
