Chapter 4:
Three days na kami dito sa Palawan. Marami na kaming ginawang activities. Mostly team building activities. Nag-tour na din kami sa iba’t ibang souvenir shops. Ngayon naman we’re heading to the Underground River sa Puerto Princesa.
30 minutes yung travel time from the resort to the underground river. 2 buses yung sinakyan namin. 60 students tapos 2 teachers each bus. I was sitting beside the window and then Andi on my other side. She was sleeping soundly. 6 A.M. pa lang kasi.
I was scanning through my phone when somebody approached me.
“Danicka.”
I looked up and saw Tristan. He was wearing a grey hoodie. Naka-black walking shorts and a Rosche. He looks… HANDSOME. The way he clothe himself and the way he carries his self is so…
“Danicka.”
“Huh? Ano yun?”
“For you.”
“Thanks.”
He handed me a Frappe and then went to his eat which is just across me. He was seated beside Simon Davis, co-captain niya sa school’s basketball team.
I was staring at him, intently examining his features. Naka-side view siya which perfectly showed the length of his long curly lashes. At ang matangos niyang ilong and pinkish lips added perfection to his face.
*******************************************
Then the bus came to an abrupt stop. I was sent forward kaya nauntog ang ulo ko sa upuan na nasa harap ko. Tanga kasi eh.
“Aray naman! Anak ng tokneneng naman oh.”
“Okay ka lang, Dani?” Natatawang tanong ni Tristan.
“Yeah.”
“Ang cute mo palang masaktan noh? Hahaha.”
“Cute ka dyan?!”
Hinipo ko yung nook o. Medyo masakit na parang namamaga. Magkakabukol yata ako. Naramdaman ko nalang na may malamig sa noo ko. Yun pala nilagyan ni Tristan ng ice bag yung noo ko.
“Nagpakuha ako ng ice bag. Ilagay mo dyan sa noo mo para mawala yung sakit.”
“San ka nagpakuha? Eh wala naman tayong dalang freezer dito ah?”
“Haha ikaw talaga. May cooler dun sa likod. Naglagay ng mga ice bags si Miss Anj para if ever may emergency, ready tayo. May first aid kit din na dala si Miss Anj.”
“Uhh-okay.”
I looked out the window. Hindi pa ulit umandar yung bus. The teachers are still checking if wala na bang nasaktan. I didn’t notice na hindi pa pala umaalis si Tristan sa kintatayuan niya.
“Dani?”
“Yeah?”
“Okay ka na?”
I just nodded.
“Andi, pwede bang palit tayo ng seat? Tutal malapit lang naman yung inuupuan natin.”
“Uhhm, sige.”
Tumayo si Andi at lumipat sa tabi ni Simon. Tristan sat beside me. Umandar na ulit yung bus pero we were just silent. Nagpapakiramdaman. Yung feeling na may awkwardness. Hindi siguro niya natiis kaya he started a conversation.
“Uhhm, Dani?”
“Yeah? Oh, wait. How come you keep on calling me Dani?”
“I just find it cute.”
“Well, don’t. I find it boyish.”
“Uhh-okay.”
“Okay. So where are we?”
“I just want to ask something.”
“Spill it out.”
“May boyfriend ka na?”
“Ha? Eh, wala. Bakit ba?”
“Wala lang. Eh, bakit wala?”
“Kasi ayaw ko. Ayaw ko sa love kasi magulo. Ayaw kong umibig sa maling tao. Ayaw kong ibigay yung lahat-lahat ko pero yun pala di lang ako kayang mahalin pabalik. Ayaw kong umasa at mabigo. Ayaw kong mahirapan. Ayaw kong masaktan. Ay mali pala, ayoko na “ULIT” masaktan. ” <#WHOGOAT>
“Ibig sabihin, may bf ka na noon?”
“Hindi naman.”
“ Ha? Eh, bakit sabi mong…”
“Bakit? Sa bf lang ba pwedeng magka-heartbreak? Di ba pwedeng sa crush rin?”
“Crush? Naha-heartbroken ka sa crush?”
“Pake mo?!”
“Takte naman eh. Ang crush ginagawang inspiration, hindi expiration. Hindi iniiyakan yan. Tanga lang ang naha-heartbroken sa crush. At wag kang maging tanga kasi wala namang pakialam yang crush mo at wala ka namang mapapala.”
“Wow, kung makapagsalita parang alam ang nangyari ah.”
“Bakit, ano bang nangyari? Ikuwento mo nga.”
A.N. :P Bleeeeeh, mambibitin ako. Next chapter ko na ipapaalam ang story tungkol sa crush ni Danicka dahil aalahanin ko muna yung mga pain in the heart na idinulot sa akin ng crush ko. Bwahahahaha. Joke J #HugotChapter
