Her Name Was

Chapter Twelve: Best Night

I got up before everyone else in the tree house, so I decided to take a walk for a while since mukhang wala pa naman ni isa sa kanila ang may planong bumangon.

I walked by the sidewalk and just enjoyed the peace and quietness of the morning. As I walked along, may napansin akong bench na hindi masyadong dinadaanan ng mga tao. I chose to sit there.

And so the storytelling begins.

I grabbed my phone out and instantly pressed record.

------------------------start of record ●

I never really thought na mapapaningdigan ko tong kabaliwan ko. Here I am, recording my voice once again on a story only I am supposed to know.

Pero kasi, nandito yung feeling na I just need to really blurt it out on someone or at least on something.

Bakit ko pa kasi naalala.

"Uhm, pano pala to, isang bed lang meron dito sa room ko. I'll just ask for an extra bed from the resort tapos dun na lang ako matutulog. Wait i'll just call the front office." I said to Her.

We're now here in my hotel room at ang problema ay iisa lang ang kama. So I decided to order an extra bed.

Ida-dial ko na sana yung number sa telephone kaso bigla niyang inagaw yung phone sakin at binaba ito.

"No need! Mamaya na natin problemahin yan. Sino bang may sabi na matutulog na tayo?" She said.

"Uhm, aren't you tired yet?" I asked since kakagaling lang namin sa tour and dinner outside plus the emotional bump along the way.

"The night is too young, let's explore. Walang tulugan! Game?" She proposed.

"What? You're crazy!" I said.

"Oh c'mon! This would be fun! Parang naman Hindi ka sanay sa puyatan?" She said firmly.

"Ang sakit mo sa bangs." I joked.

"Eh wala ka namang bangs." She said innocently.

"Yun na nga eh." I said.

"Haha! KJ mo! Tara dun tayo sa bar nila. I wanna drink." Pagaya niya.

"Oh now you want to drink. Just great." I said sarcastically.

"Sige naaaaaa, I just want to experience it. Kanina kasi sa resto, the ambiance is what I don't trust. At least dito, safe sa loob ng resort." She reasoned out.

"Alright fine. Treat mo?" I asked. Papalakpak na sana siya sa tuwa kaso biglang napasimangot sa huli kong sinabi.

One word? Cute :>

"PSH. Oo na since treat mo naman yung dinner kanina." She said.

"Pilit?" I asked.

"Bukal na bukal sa kalooban ko po." She said sarcastically.

I just chuckled at her cuteness.

And so ano pa nga ba ang magagawa ko? Sumunod na lang ako sa gusto niya. The lady wants to drink, then we do what the lady wants, give her a drink!

We went to the bar and grabbed a sit on the stools in front of the bartender.

"Good evening ladies! What can i get for you? The bartender asked.
