Not Over You Yet (Senior Years Series #1)

27

"Hoy, bakit isang room lang??" tanong ni Riley kay Daphne who was busy going through her things, pinilit niya na siya raw mauunang maligo sa amin.

We only had a few more hours before mag gabi and the first agenda was to have dinner beside the beach. After that matutulog na kami para well-rested kami for the activities tomorrow.

"Correction, it's a joint room, nakahiwalay naman yung sa mga lalaki." Riley rolled her eyes at Daphne's explanation and I found myself chuckling.

"Come, it will be like the last time we went to the beach." 

Ang hirap din ng gusto ng babae na'to, but I guess nag-improve room namin ngayon. Kung dati one bathroom lang, ngayon tatlo na. Dalawa sa taas, isa sa baba. 

We also had the whole villa to ourselves kaya makakapag-luto kami kung gusto namin.

"Ooh, that was a day." I found myself saying.

I still had all the photos in my instagram feed. Ayaw kong alisin dahil yun yung mga araw kung kailan naramdaman ko muli ang saya. Plus, birthday week yun ni Nica.

The other day, I scrolled through Theo's instagram and saw that he has taken the art gallery down. May kirot akong naramdaman pero ayos lang yon.

Okay lang naman kung naka-move on na siya eh, dapat lang ay nag-move on siya. Because I've hurt him so much.

That got me thinking whether it's a good idea to pursue him again, wouldn't that just be so selfish of me?

"Remember how flushed Theo's cheeks were the whole time we were at the beach?" Riley laughed at Jasmine's memory.

"Gago, tanda mo pa yun?"

"Oo how could I not? I loved... Everything about that day." Jasmine answered with a smile on her face, reminiscing the past. 

A smile crept on everyone's faces as they thought of that day but was soon interrupted by ringing.

My phone rang for the second time since we got off the plane. Hindi ko sinasagot dahil hindi ko alam yung number, hindi rin nagpakilala through text yung tumatawag.

So I decided to text them first. 

'Hello, who is this?' I sent the message with a frown on my face. Is this work calling? Alam naman nilang lahat na bakasyon ako ah.

Ang bagal naman mag-reply. Akala ko pa naman urgent. 

'Good afternoon, Engr. Castillo. This is Engr. Cortez. I was calling to inform you about the updates on the site? Mrs. Flores also has a few more demands.'

I sighed before rolling my eyes. Hindi ba siya na-inform ni Papa? I told Pops to tell my substitute to only message me if it's an urgent matter.

'Is it urgent, Engineer?' 

'Yes, ma'am.' he replied in an instant.

I took a deep breath before heading to the balcony where two of the guys were seated at the other end. 

They waved at me and I gave them a smile before calling the number. 

[Ma'am?]

"Yes, Engineer. May problema ba?" I answered in a formal manner. 

Muntikan na akong matawa nang nag-aktong nagulat ang aking mga kaibigan.

'Totoo ba yan?' Justin mouthed, making me roll my eyes as I listened to Engr. Cortez talking on the phone.

Thankfully, after a while, umalis na sina Justin at Kyle. I thanked them before they disappeared into their rooms, giving me privacy.

"So let me get this straight, Engineer. Mrs. Flores' concern is about the color of the paint being different." I massaged the bridge of my nose, getting frustrated because it was so simple to solve.
