Too Much of Everything

Chapter 2

That night bumalik lahat ng alaala ko with Kael.

Fucking 8 years and still it stings. All this time I thought I was very much over him, pero the moment I saw him and talked to him biglang sumabog na parang bomba ang mga alaala.
Malakas and destructive.

Ngayon ko lang na digest na nagkita ulit kami and even had a conversation.
I was with Era a while ago pero alam ko sa sarili ko na I was bothered as hell.

Old people.

Yet now it's as fresh as a morning due.

Pero hindi. Hindi ako dapat magpaapekto. I've been through shits just to forget him. Did all the crazy stuffs, even stalked him. I was insanely fucking crazy. I should keep my head up. I don't wanna crawl through all those shits again. Self-wrecking. Nakakapanget!

Pero sandali nga. Bakit ba ang OA ko? Di naman niya sinabi na he'll get back and win me back.
I'm dramatically over acting! Lol.

Get your facts straight Yura. Don't get too emotional. You will never see him again anyway. What's the use sa pag eemote?

It was just an accident. And it won't happen again.

And so I slept half-worriedly.

The next morning came and I was back to normal, I mean I was totally okay. Inisip ko nalang na di na ulit yun mangyayari. It was just a bad day treat.

"Good morning,ma'am. Do you have any reservations today?" I greeted the guest genuinely.

I am a receptionist sa isang sikat na hotel sa Cagayan de Oro. Yura Bella C. Bersabal is my full name.

I love my job kahit nandito lang ako sa local na lugar. Okay naman ang sweldo kahit papano, and more importantly ayaw kong iwanan si mama at papa because my younger sisters are working overseas. As the eldest, I feel the need to be with them. So I stayed kahit mas malaki ang opportunities dun sa labas. I'm 26 and I'm still very single for the past 8 years. Note, 8 fucking years.

Too much of a talking, biglang may dumating na guest. They are in suits, the men are dashingly formal. I readied myself to greet them. From the looks of it, they were no ordinary people.

"Welcome to Grenda Hotel." Tapos sabay yuko.

Nakita ko sa mga mata ko na may nagpaiwan sa paglalakad. I lift my head only to see the last person I wanted to see on Earth.

"Hi, Yu."

It was Kael. God! Of all people?

I was stunned for a few seconds, buti nalang siniko ako ni Gina.

"Oh hi?" Di ko alam kung anong dapat gawin kaya yumuko ako ulit bilang paggalang. He's a guest after all. Right?

"Mr. Gonzales?"

Buti nalang at tinawag siya ng mga kasamahan niya at nawala ang atensyon niya sa akin.

"I gotta go. See you. "

He walked passed us smiling. What the heck is he doing in our hotel?
Probably business?  All tie and suit so maybe business nga. Pero? Paanong? Siya? Business man? Well? Why do I even care?

"Kilala mo ba yun?" Gina asked me suddenly. My co-worker Gina Sandoval is curious huh?

I shrugged. I don't wanna talk about him, really.

"Bakit ka niya kilala?" Tanong niya ulit. Ang manhid nitong si Gina ha! Haha.

"Kasi may nameplate tayo?" I said nalang. Obviously ending the conversation. Buti may dumating ulit na guest.
