Kiare Cyler's

This is our third and last day here at grandma's resort, that's why the others are making the most of playing in the sea. Kasi pagbalik namin balik trabaho na rin ang mga ferson dahil may kaniya-kaniyang kumpanya pa kaming aasikasuhin.

"Hoy, anong oras uwi natin?" Tanong ni Kyshin.

"Mamayang 3:30 daw." Sagot ni Lex na busy sa pag-kindat sa mga babaeng panay ang sulyap sakanya.

Jusme akala mo naman tahong ang hanap.

Napatingin ako kay Athiane na nasa medyo malayong parte at may kausap sa cellphone niya. Palagi siyang ganyan simula pa nung nakarating kami rito, parang palaging may inaasikaso pero hinayaan ko nalang at hindi na nag abalang istorbohin ito dahil baka tungkol sa firm niya iyon.

Kagabi paglabas ko ng banyo nakita ko siya sa balcony and she looked so pissed, her brows furrowed and her aura is as dark as the night and it looks like she's on the verge of shouting at the person on the other line that made me confused as fuck. I even heard her curse at the person she's talking to on the phone.

I came back to my senses when someone sat beside me and tapped my shoulder lightly.

"What are you thinking?" Tanong ni Iana.

"Why do I feel like she's going to leave me?" Tanong ko sakanya habang nakatingin parin kay Athiane na may kausap sa cellphone niya.

"Don't you trust her?" Her question made me stunned.

I averted my gaze to her. "I do, I trust her more than I trust myself."

"Then, stop worrying." Nakangiting sabi niya bago bahagyang ginulo ang buhok ko.

"She's always talking to someone on her phone and she looks so pissed." Kwento ko sakanya.

"Hmm? Continue." Sinandal ko ang ulo ko sakanya habang nakatingin sa kulay asul na karagatan.

"She even cussed, and remember when we saw her at the café with Barney?" Tanong ko na tinanguan niya naman habang hinahaplos ang buhok ko.

"What about it?" Tanong niya.

"We never talked about it and she never explained, I was just waiting for her to open it up but she didn't." Natigilan siya sa ginagawa sa buhok ko dahil sa sinabi ko.

Why did she lie that day? If she's meeting that Melville she just have to inform me. She didn't have to lie about it because I will definitely understand her reason for meeting that guys, I won't even get mad. Yes, I'll be jealous because who wouldn't, right? It's her so-called ex-fiancé for goodness sake.

"Why didn't you confront her?" Her question caught me off guard.

Right, why didn't I confront her?

"I'm scared." This time she was the one who's stunned by my answer.

"Why?"

I'm scared of her reason.

"Baka pag-awayan namin." Tanging sagot ko.

"Really?" May trust issues ampota.

"Yep." Sagot ko.

Natahimik ulit kaming dalawa habang nakatingin lang sa dagat hanggang sa bigla siyang tumayo.

"Let's swim?" Nakangiting tanong niya.

I took a quick look at Athiane who's now smiling while still talking to someone on the phone before looking at Iana and slowly stood up.

"Let's go."
