"Ganda, anina ka pa tahimik."
Napatingin siya kay Calcifer ng marinig niyang mag-salita ito. Nginitian niya lang ang binata bago ito niyakap. After long hours of drive nakarating na din sila sa resort. The place was cold and quiet. Considering nasa ibabaw sila ng bundok. Calcifer already made an reservation kaya dumiretso sila sa kwarto. Their room was the typical room in a resort. One bed, television, bathroom and table inside.
They could see the pool from where they are but they still have to walk for a little while to go there, also narinig niyang may sapa doon but sadly they can't go for swim, kahit tampisaw hindi pwede. Malakas daw agos ng tubig at medyo mabato doon. Baka kung ano mangyari sakanila pero pwede naman sila pumunta. Ayaw nga lang ni Calcifer.
"I'm fine." Tanging sagot niya bago pinakawalan ito at inilagay ang mga gamit niya sa kama bago hinubad ang cardigan niya. She's really fine, iniisip niya lang kung paano niya gagawin ang plano niya. "I'll just freshen up a bit. Mamaya na lang natin ayusin gamit natin. Pahinga ka muna diyan."
With that she grab her backpack before going inside the bathroom and started doing her business. While changing she realizes that she's being off again. Nawala naman siya sa mood. This is gonna ruin their trip if she let it. She sigh, as she try and cheer herself up but it's not working. She's still confuse and sad.
Nang lumabas siya agad niya nakita na wala na gamit sa kama nila and Calcifer is sitting in the table, mukhang malalim ang iniisip nito, hindi nga napansin ang paglabas niya sa banyo. Parang may kung anong kumurot sa puso niya ng makitang huminga ito ng malalim na para bang naguguluhan ito. She knew it has to do something with her attitude and mood change.
Akmang maglalakad siya palapit dito ng lumingon sakaniya ang binata. Instantly his worried expression disappeared, he smiled at her. She smiled back before walking toward him and sitting on his lap, facing him. "Bango naman ni Ganda." Puri nito sakaniya bago hinalikan ang tungki ng ilong niya. "Okay ka lang ba? May iniisip ka ba? May nagawa ba ako?"
She kiss his lips. "No hun." She then smile at him, caressing his handsome face filled with worry. Ayaw niyang masira ang araw nila. "Pagod lang ito. Don't worry it's not important. Magiging okay din ako."
"No darling, it's important. Your feelings matter to me most." Malambing na angal ng binata sakaniya bago inayos ang pagka-upo niya sa kandungan nito, hinawakan nito ang kamay niya bago iyon hinalikan. "Tell me, why did you feel like that?"
She sigh softly before looking at Calcifer's eyes. Kahit ayaw niyang aminin naapektuhan siya sa nangyari sa Mom niya at gusto nga niya mag-salita laban sakanila pero parang nasasaktan siya. It's not that she's mad at them or anything. Gusto niyang kompirmahin sa binata pero parang ayaw niya din, but she wants to settle her feelings once and for all and cut all ties with them. To her, Calcifer is her only family. No one else.
"Are you really suing them?" Halatang natigilan ang binata sa tanong niya. He stared at her for a while. Her heart immediately pound because of that. "It's not that I care but I was just curious and — " She's almost stuttering, biglang naging blanko ang utak niya. "You know — I was just." She sigh. "Never mind hun, maligo kana doon — " Before she could stand up from his lap, Calcifer held her firm there.
"Yes, we will take legal action." Calcifer answered. "Hindi iyon ang gusto ko. I want to destroy them but I know you still care for them. Hurting them to that extent would hurt you too. Gusto ko silang gumapang dahil sa pinagagawa nila sayo." He explain as he tie her hair into a ponytail. "But I know you wouldn't want that. I know you still care for them."
