" Palawan ?!? Honestly! Of all the goddamn places! " I said exasperated.
He went back to the wheel or whatever you call it without a word at pinaikot ito so we'd come to the shore. After reaching land, he scrambled inside to gather his belongings. I followed him, stomping my feet to the wooden floor.
" Why the Hell did you take me here? " I demanded crossing my arms to my chest.
" It wasn't on purpose if that's what you're thinking, you came with me in my car remember? It's you who didn't ask where as I going. " he responded in a hushed tone not even bothering to look at me.
" Oh I know about entering your stupid car awhile back, I just didn't know where else to go! It's because of your stupid act at school in the first place. If you didn't pulled that no wit act maybe I wouldn't have to be loitering around then meeting some people I don't know then gradually learning truth from some lies and—"
" Wait! Are you saying then that It's my fault you jerk for not telling me that we'd be here?!? Such a gentleman you are then. And why you're here I suppose? Running away from the trouble you made back in Lipa ? or shall I say, the girl you accidentally impregnated? " I said smirking.
" Is that who you think I am? Do you even know me at all? "
" Look, " he said raising to look at me. " If you wanted to go back home, fine. And if you wanted me to say it, then I'm sorry. I had a second thought of splashing you're face because I found you very hard to wake up. But please, I came here for the peace it brings. If your day is ruined, don't start ruining mine. "
Then just like that, he left me. Eyes gaping after him. Stunned. And once again feeling a fool for not knowing what to do.
Why do I always let people walk out on me like that?
I groped for the bed and ran my fingers to the soft material of the fabric.
I know I was wrong for entering just like that.... why didn't he let me sleep here on the bed than on the dock anyway?
Heading to the center of the bed, I slowly sat down.
Though he was just being nice not waking me up that rude as he told me...with that ridiculous idea of waking me..
I folded my knees and reached for them. Rested my chin above then hugged them.
Hugging as if to support my breathing.
And then I— I scowled at him for taking me to this— this very beautiful island!
I felt tears spilling out from my eyes.
I guess...it really is my fault...and I ought to ask for forgiveness...
I was rocking back and forth as if to stop myself from crying. I gave a loud uncontrollably sob.
I—
"Shhhh...Stop crying you crybaby..." he said.
I stopped. Turning sideways to see him looking at me.
"You—you came back! And I— I have to— I need to— I'm sorry!" and hugged him.
" You don't need to apologize for anything...I came back cause I figured you wouldn't have anywhere to go..It's all right... hush now..."
"P-pero..I need to say sorry for saying rude things at school and I — I should've considered your feelings! And then I— I wasn't permitted to come in and I was accusing you of— of—"
" There's no need to apologize for anything.. It's alright. " sabi niya habang pinapatahan ako.
" P-pero.. I said a lot of rude things to you and I didn't consider you're feelings! And then I accused you of— of— " he picked me up as i was explaining.
" Just be quiet and relax, we're going to eat. My treat. "
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
" mmmmm..." Oh My God! This is so good!
" Told you it's good. and I am awesome, " he said boastfully while eating.
" So, how did you know about this place?" I asked after swallowing the crunched bites of my KitKat crunchable ice cream.
Wait. I think I know that guy in the counter.
" Well, " he began as he finished off his cup of ice cream and I look behind his back. " Before I turned 20.."
I think I really know him, his hair is just like that!
" ...I promised myself I'd know a lot of things by then..."
though if it's him.. I can't believe na magsusuot siya ng flowered shirt.
" ...Ventured to a lot of places...ate a lot of different cuisines.."
And I can't believe he can do PDA!
" ... you know, stuff we do as adventurers."
" S-so.. Where other places have you —"
Bingo!
" Kuya Christian??? " I said as I spotted the guy making out by the counter.
" H-huh?" confused na tanong ni Kuya Christian palinga-linga bago mabilis na napahiwalay sa pagkakayakap.
" Why are you here?/ Bakit ka nandito! " sabay naming sabi ng magkita kami face to face.
