Kendal Marie's

Chapter 16

Tuloy tuloy lang ako sa pagiyak. Hanggang sa may naramdaman akong umupo sa tabi ko. Tumingin ako kung si zach ba yun pero hindi.

"Im sorry. Hindi ko gustong iwan ka. At hindi ko rin alam na magkikita tayo dito. Gusto ko lang mag sorry kung nasktan man kita noon at ayaw mo ng magmahal ngayon. Sana mapatawad mo ako. Im not a perfect person kendal. Please, learn to love again." Tatayo na sya nung magsalita ako.

"Thats bullshit! How can you even say that sa taong iniwan mo sa loob ng dalawang taon?! Tapos sasabihan mo ako nyan ngayon? You dont even know kung ano ang naramdaman ko noon, kung anong pinagdaaanan ko. Kung paano ako nadurog. So stop. And go!" I snapped at him, glaring.

"Im really sorry kendal" umalis sta with sympathetic eyes.

Anong karapatan nyang sabihan ako matapos nya akong iwan ng ganon na lang? Pinagmukha nya akong tanga.
I dont want to think of our story again, its painful and We're too young that time. It was a chapter that I dont want to be told.

Isinandal ko yung ulo ko sa may bintana, watching as the sky passes. Beautiful.

The airplane landed an hour ago. And im here eating alone in a restaurant. Palawan is big. And beautiful. Napakaganda ng sceneries. Kaso! Wala akong dala camera. Bwiset! Ngayon ko pa nakalimutan.

So I decided to go to my hotel room.
Pumasok na ako sa hotel and approach the Receptionist.

"Hi. Im kendal Dela cruz. where is my room?" Bati ko sa receptionist with a bug smile.

"Hi too Miss kendal, your room is in south wing. Second floor. Room 201. And your staying here for a month?" She said while smiling.

"Uhm, yes. Maybe a month or two. Thank you" i said while nodding my head.

"Okay Mam." Bumaling sya sa isang lalaki. "Please assist Miss Kendal to her room, Simon" tumango ang lalaki at agad kinuha ang maleta ko.

"Thanks" naksunod lang ako kay simon hanggang marating namin ang room ko.

I swiped the card para maunlock yung door and then nagthank you ako kay simon.

"Welcome. Enjoy your stay here miss." I nodded then lock the door. Nilibot ko ng tingin ng buong lugar. My room is perfect. Tinakbo ko iyong bintana and I saw a sliding door sa kabila and I open it. Shet! Ang ganda ng suite ko! Perfect view. Pumunta ako sa kwarto and tiningnan iyon. I gasped. It has one king side bed. And a jacuzzi in the bathroom! Aria is the best!

Umupo ako sa kama and tinaggal ko yung sandals ko. I picked up my phone sa bag. Then called aria and plumped in my bed.

Few rings and aria answered.

"Bessssssy!!!!!!" I shout.

"Hey, hey ano ba yan kendal makasigaw? Tatanggalin mo ba lalamunan mo?" I laughed at that.

"No. Youre crazy. I just love the room na pinili mo." Iniikot ko yung paningin ko sa buong kwarto. Ganda talaga eh.

"Oh?" Theres a panicked in her voice.

"Hoy Aria? May itinatago ka ba sa akin?" Tumayo ako sa pagkakahiga ko sa kama at nagtungo sa may balcony. I inhale the fresh air too calm my nerves.

"Im sorry Kendy. I know you hate me for doing this." Guilt was evident in her voice.

"What did you do Aria?"
Alam ko na. Alam ko na ito. Damn.

"Ano kasi, ano shit. Paano ba ito basta sorry kendy, sorr-" naibaba ko yung phone when someone open the door of my room with his bag pack and trolly bag in his hands.

I lost my breathing once again.

I saw Zachary Michael Adams standing infront of my room, smiling.

"What? How? Oh my God you planned this?" I said gasping for air. Hindi ako makaimik, hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko. What the hell did aria do this time? I froze.

Naglakad sya patungo sa akin. Walking with grace like he owned everything in this damn world.

"Im sorry Marie. I just want to be with you, I miss you. I want to court you. Let me please, kendal?"
I looked at him in disbelief.

"And you think its right? We're alone in a damn room?" Tumakbo ako palabas ng kwarto. Hanggang sa makalabas ako ng hotel. Patungo sa dalampasigan. Dapit hapon na kaya medyo nagdidilim na.

I looked at my phone and so a text from aria. I read it.

Bessy:
Im sorry kendy, he planned it. He really loves you kendal, why dont you give him a chance?

Fuck. Chance.
I just want to go to the bar and go wild.

My phones ringing. Unknown number?

"Hello?" Naglalakad ako naghahanap ng malapit na bar na mapupuntahan.

"Marie-" ibinaba ko ang telepono kasi alam ko na kung sino yun. Dali dali akong naglakad at nang makatagpo ako ng bar.

"May La prime din pala dito?" Napatanong ako sa sarili ko at agad na pumasok sa loob, the bar is just like the same kagaya ng nasa manila.

So naglakad ako patungo sa mga stools and order the same drinks na inoorder ko sa manila.

I got a few shots ng binuksan ko ang mga message ni Zachary.

Z:
Fuck. Where are you? Its dark. I got another room across to your room. So dont bother, please come back here. Kendal.

And another one.

Z:
Damn. Im going out! Ill Look for you.

"Whatever Zachary!" Tumayo ako nagpunta sa dancefloor.

Dancing again like a wild animal. Freedom. Thats what I want. My walls are crashed. But I wont let him.

Nang may maramdaman akong nagsasayaw din sa likuran ko. Itinaas ko ang mga kamay ko ang let my self dance to its curves.

"Alone beautiful?" A strong accent said from behind. I dont know him. Im tipsy right now and my head hurts.

"Hmmm?" Yun lang ang nasabi ko sa lakas ng musika na naririnig ko. Hinawakan nya ang bewang ko at hinapit pa nya ako lalo papalapit sa kanya.

Nang biglang may humablot sa kamay ko at niyakap ako palapit sa kanya. This scent. I miss it.

Napamulat ako ng tanggalin nya ang pagkakauakap nya sa akin at biglang suntukin ang lalaking kasayaw ko kanina.

"What the hell man?" Sigaw ng latinong lalaki kay zachary.

Susuntukin pa sana ulit ni Zach yung lalaki nang tumakbo ako at yakapin sya.

"Stop it. Stop" My head is spinning but I managed to tell this words ayokong masaktan sya. Im bipolar. I know.

"Dont you there touch my girl, Santiñez. Or your longer be banned here at La Prime! Got that?" Sigaw nya. Hinarap nya ako at tinggal ang mga kamay kong nakayakap sa kanya.

He looked at me with such adoration in his eyes.

"Damn. Your trouble, really." And he kissed the top of my forhead.

I closed my eyes at that.
