I Fell Inlove With My Bestfriend

IFIWMB 39: A bad trip

Ember’s POV

2 weeks have passed quickly. I have to go to Boracay today. Ngayon daw kasi ang marriage proposal ni Ian kay Pat. Ewan ko ba kung bakit sinali pa ako dito. Hay. Baka ma out of place lang ako.

I was packing my things when my phone vibrated.

Ian Calling...

I answered the call.

"Yeah?" Tanong ko sa kanya.

"Asan ka na? I need you to be here at 1 pm." Halata sa boses niya ang nerbyos.

"Duh, Ian, duh? It's still 6 am in the morning at aalis ang ferry on 6:30. Dadating ako dyan at 8, I guess. Kita na lang tayo dyan sa resort at 11. I still have to talk to one of my dad’s client." I told dad kasi na I will go to Boracay, that’s why hindi ako makakapunta dun sa States ng madalian. Timing rin naman na may client daw si dad dyan sa Boracay about our business. So, ako na lang daw ang kumausap instead of his secretary. Mayaman kami pero tumitipid ang dad ko sa gastos. How rude. Hahaha.

"Ok fine. Sorry I was just nervous about it." Bumuntong hininga siya.

"Hahaha, bakit naman? Anyway, where’s Pat?" Pagiiba ko sa topic.

"She’s still asleep. Ge, kita na lang tayo mamaya. Take care." He said before ending the call.

After kong magpack ng things, dumiretso na ako sa sakayan ng barko sa pier. Dinala ko ang porsche ko, I also hired a boy para bantayan ang porsche ko habang wala ako.

Habang bumibili ng ticket, nagvibrate ulit ang cellphone ko.

♪ ‘Cause it’s you and me, and all oth-- ♪

I directly answered the call. It’s dad.

"Dad?" I asked.

"Honey, I already booked your tickets. After there at Boracay punta ka na lang ng airport. Your flight time will be on 5 am, so pack your things na." He explained. Wait, what?!

"Dad? Agad agad? Can you postpone it?"

"I’m sorry sweetie, I can’t. This is urgent. I have to tell you something, it’s very important." How important could it be?

"Ok then. I gotta go. Bye dad." I hanged the phone bago pa siya makasagot. Ugh.

I would be very jetlagged.

Ian’s POV

Kanina pa ako lakad ng lakad dito sa hotel na pinasukan namin ni Pat.

Tick tock. Tick tock. Tick tock.

Ang tahimik dito. Peaceful, kumbaga.

"Bhe?" Lumingon ako sa kanya. I smiled sweetly and kissed her on the forehead.

"Good morning Mrs. McCurdy." I joked her. Tumawa lang siya.

"Oh silly. Are you okay?" She asked, worried.

"Oo naman ‘no. Breakfast tayo sa baba? I heard their dishes here are all sea foods. Is that alright with my baby?" Tanong ko sa kanya habang niyayakap ko siya.

"Sure. Ikaw pa. Let’s eat." Ngumiti siya ng malapad at hinila ako papunta sa restau dito sa Boracay.

Kumain lang kami hanggang sa napagplanuhan naming maglakad lakad sa tabing dagat habang nakaholding hands. This is a dream come true. Pangarap ko ‘to noon pa lang, to walk in the beach while holding the hand of the woman I really love. And I’m glad that it’s Patricia Bea Genovis. I knew it from the start that she’s the one I wanted to be with.
