Mile's Apart.

"shut up, zayden."

zayden was right now laughing at his own joke, para syang batang kinikiliti. while his younger brother zaven, was telling him to shut his mouth couse his bug mouth is disturbing the other passengers. honestly, if you didn't know they're real age, you would think that zaven was older!

"puking ama zayden! tumahimik ka di ako makatulog! pag pinukpok ko tong tray sa ulo mo!" tasha threatened zayden by showing him the tray with her food on it.

"gusto mo ba maka-kita nang birds at stars ha?" she smiled sweetly.

"panget mo natasha!" zayden crossed his arms over his chest and made a face.

"pake ko sayo?" tasha sat comfortably on her seat again. while zayden rolled his eyes and continued eating his bread.

it has been 30 minutes since our plane took off. and also been 30 minutes of arguing.

i sighed and closed my eyes. my gosh!

when our plane landed, we got our bags and waited for the hotel's van to pick us up.

this trip is actually for zaven's parents, but tita lory got a fever so they couldn't go.

me and tasha took some pictures for our Instagram while waiting for the van. yung dalawang lalaki, iniintay yung van, valerie was sitting down on a bench while scrolling on her phone.

"valerie!" i called her. "tara! lets take pictures oh!" yaya ko.

she looked at me and gave me a small smile. "sige!" she happily said and stood up.

she looked left out kase. so i felt bad.

us three girls where just taking pictures and making tiktoks when zayden called us.

anjan na pala yung van kaya inayos na namin yung gamit namin sa likod para maka sakay na.

the car ride went on for a whole hour. the hotel we booked was a five star hotel.

"its so nice!" tasha said while looking arround.

"tasha let's take pictures!" hinila ni val si tasha sa may gilid, silang dalawa kase ang unang naka baba.

"lets go" nilapad ni zaven ang kamay mya sa harapan ko para maka baba ako. hinawakan ko yun ang bumaba na sa van.

kinuha na nang staff ang mga bags namin. si zayden chinecheck-in na kami.

"ang ganda!"

the design of the hotel was modern, black, white, and a shade of green.

us three girl's shared a bedroom while the two boy's also shared another room.

for the first day, we woke up and had breakfast. we went swimming. the second day we went island hopping. we also had a really fancy dinner. the third day, we went to a waterpark. and on the final day, we just went swimming and shopped for suveniers, we even got room service and watched movies.

"hey, they're asleep." zaven was trying to wake me up.

"natutulog din ako" naka-pikit padin ako.

"wake uppp" he shook my body, "i have a surprise for you"

napakunot ang nuo ko at tumingin sakanya. "and what is that?"

"get up." he said.

tumayo ako at kinuha ang jacket ko. sabi nya kasi lalabas kami sa may beach. mahangin kasi sa labas.

we slowly left the hotel room. yung tatlo tulog pa. we were watching Jumanji in the girls room.

zaven held my hand while we were walking to the beach. "hmm why?"

"wala," he chuckled.

"weirdo."

when we arrived at the beach, we both sat down. it was peaceful. no one was arround. it was just the wind, the peaceful sky, and the waves. the view was so relaxing.

"so" i looked at him. "why did you bring me here?"

he smiled shyly and looked at the sky. "may bibigay ako sayo."

he got something out of his back pocket. he looked at it for a second before showing it to me.

it was a necklace. it had the word 'elara' attached on it.

he took my right had and put it there. he then showed me the back. it had the letter 'z'

"do you like it?" he looked at me lovingly.

"i love it" i whispered. it was so beautiful. "thank you" i looked at him and gave him the biggest smile.

"i love you" he whispered.

"i love you" i smiled more and hugged him. "so much"

"i have a surprise for you too" i looked at him. napakunot ang nuo nya.

"ano?" tanong nya.

"yes"

"huh?"

"yes"

"ha?!"

"yes!" i said more loud and clear "im saying yes to you! like, ummm..how do i say it?"

"ahh....HA?!" his eyes widened. "sinasagot mo na ako?" he asked in a soft tone.

ngumiti ako at tumango. "yes, zaven!"

we went back home the next day. we celebrated Christmas together.

"omg! thank you!" i hugged the chanel bag he gave me.

"your welcome, my love" he kissed my cheek.

"here's my gift!" i handed him the Balenciaga paper bag.

he began opening it. "hala sya!" he covered his mouth.

tumawa ako. my gift for him was Balenciaga shoes!

"thank you, baby" he kissed me.

we celebrated new years together.

"happy new year, love!" i hugged him.

nasa building kami ngayon. we were watching the fireworks. it was so beautiful. and i was with the man i love.

"happy new year. to more years with you. i love you" he hugged me back.

and the day came.

we were going back to america.
