Just a Chance (Aces Band Series #1)

Chapter 17

"Welcome to Boracay. Enjoy your stay here." Sinalubong kami ng mga tao dito dahil nga kasama namin ang Aces Band. Yes of course they are Aces Band, the most famous band in the country so who wouldn't know them.

Mabuti nga at pinayagan sila ng manager nila na magbakasyon without bodyguards around them. Basta ang bilin lang ni Mr. Quemado ay mag-ingat kami at kailangan nasa private beach kami. People would flock and go crazy when they see Aces Band so we need to keep our stay here private. It's also for the safety of us to avoid issues, of course in just a one click of a post on social media it will go viral easily especially if it's about famous personalities.

If they are not my friends siguro hindi naman talaga ako makikihalubilo sa kanila. I want a peaceful life. A private life where I can be who I am. Ayaw ko na sa bawat galaw ko may nakabantay sa akin, lahat limitado dahil konting mali, agad na masisira ang pangalan ko. That's how toxic people are, hindi nila magawang bantayan ang sarili pero kapag ibang tao ang bilis kung makagawa ng mga issue.

We booked two rooms. Isa para sa aming girls na may tatlong kama kaya isa-isa kami at sa boys ay nasa kabilang room naman. Tatlo rin ang kama nila katulad lang ng sa room namin kaya si Ezi at Reighn magkatabi, si Klyde at Xean naman sa isang kama at si Asher ang solo. Malaki naman ang room dahil may kitchen ito, may maliit na sala at may bathroom with bathtub pa.

Pagkatapos naming kumain ng lunch sa restaurant na dito lang din naman sa resort na tinutuluyan namin nagpahinga muna kami. Since five days kami magsistay dito, ang plano namin ay bukas na lang kami maliligo at itry ang mga sea sport activities. The next day pupuntahan namin ang iba't ibang pasyalan dito and maybe we will also try scuba diving or snorkeling. On the third day we planned to go to spa, swim on the pool here in the resort and also night-out, because I heard they have nice bars here. On our fourth day mag-iikot naman kami para bumili ng mga souvenirs, maybe sila lang, wala naman akong mabibigyan. Tapos sa last day ay magpapahinga na lang kami.

I'm so excited. I never done this in my life, ngayon lang at kasama ko pa ang mga best people sa buhay ko. My friends. I'm so happy that I can explore things outside of my comfort zone with them. With them I finally got a chance to free myself. A lot changed when I met them, usually I don't socialize, but when they entered my life I met and interacted with a lot of people. They showed me and opened my eyes to the real world outside the walls that I built for myself.

Noon focus lang ako kay Ian, siya lang ang gusto kong maging kaibigan, but I'm glad that I met these people who made me realize a lot of things. I realized that, I don't need to stick with one person who can't see my worth, there are people outside there who deserves me more than him. I also realized that, in life we really need friends, even just one friend who is true. They will be the ones that will be our shoulder and also us to them. If we need them, they also needs us. Huwag puro sarili ang isipin, kung ikaw nagmumukmok diyan, may katulad din sa'yo so why not be friends with them, maybe you can help each other.

"I love you girls." Niyakap ko si Cassy at Kate. Nasa veranda kami ngayon at tinitingnan ang sunset.

The sunset that reminds us that some days maybe hard to us but it will end, and a new day will come where it will bring us new hopes, new life and new adventures. Hindi naman kasi tayo mananatili sa isang lugar, sa isang tao o sa isang oras lamang. Nagbabago ang oras at lumilipas ang mga araw kaya kung naghihirap ka ngayon, matatapos din 'yan.

"I love you two!" Mas hinigpitan ni Kate ang yakap niya sa amin.

"Hindi ako sanay na ganito tayo, ang corny pero I love you both!" Sabi naman ni Cassy.

Kahit ako hindi rin sanay na ganito kami, mas sanay ako ma araw-araw kaminh nagbabardagulan tatlo at walang pakialam kung may nakatingin sa amin.

"I'm so lucky to have you both," nagpout si Kate at parang naiiyak na.
