Summer's POV
We got off the private jet and...
WOW! Just wow! Napaka-blessed ko naman yata at napunta ako sa paraisong ganito ka ganda. Everything was perfect for the sight. The coastal beaches with pure white sand. The floating restaurants. Yung dagat na ang lalim pero very interesting and intriguing kasi kahit mababaw pa nga, andaming average-sized sharks na hindi naman nangangagat and not to mention sting rays and colorful fishes! It's a garden out there in the deep blue ocean :)
But nung nag-ibang tingin naman ako.
Opppsie! Parang may hindi masaya XD
"You look quite amused for a very common place like this." sabi naman ni Hunter na sobrang bitter. Siguro matakaw to sa ampalaya nung bata pa :3
At wait? COMMON? Ginamit niya yung word na COMMON para i-describe ang Bora-bora?! Walang emosyon siguro tong lalakeng 'to. Sige nalang, pagbigyan. Pero kung ako yung papipiliin, I say it's a HEAVEN ON EARTH :)
"May kalayaan naman po yata ako na ngumiti Sir, diba? And the creation of God makes me smile."
Bigla siyang tumingin sa paligid. Observing each and every spots.
"God? Pffffft. There is no God. We have to strive each day to survive. During my excellency, I never felt His presence. Kinaya ko kahit wala siya kasi nga wala siya."
Natahimik ako ng ilang segundo nun. Andun na kami sa labas ng airport when we had this conversation, naghihintay sa magsusundo samin. But it's my duty to talk and to justify na merong Diyos. Hindi lang niya naramdaman kasi ang tigas niya. And manhid niya. And the worst, ang lamig niya!
"A lot of us saw him by faith Hunter. At kung hindi mo siya nakikita and we did, then His existence is not the issue here kundi ikaw. Admit it Hunter, YOU ARE BLIND."
"Aha! Me?! Blind? I know where I'm going at alam ko kung sino ako. I am going to the top and I am Hunter Ocampo, the CEO of Ocampo Empire. Tell me, saan ka pupunta? Bakit ka ginawa ng kinilala mong Panginoon? And who are you? Just a plain old bodyguard disciplining a multi-billionare? WHAT are you after this?"
What am I after this? Sino ka ba talaga Summer? Or who was I? Who was I before I became a buddyguard? And who will I be? Kahit first mission ko pa lang 'to hindi ko maalis sa isipan ang tanong na 'to. Will I keep on doing missions? Won't I experience what the living had?
"I knew it! Wala kang masagot. If I were you, 'struggle' because no one is there for you other than yourself. Mas may sense pa yun kesa sa Diyos mo."
I wanna tell him more. Pero hindi pa oras. Wag nating biglain. Mahirap baguhin ang isang tao. It requires God's perfect timing. Patience. Patience. And more patience.

Dla nastolatkówI died. Actually, I died 15 years ago. Matagal-tagal na din. But I was asked to live again para samahan ang isang lonely, in fact-- the coldest and most arrogant guy, si Hunter Ocampo. And on those days back to the earth, I had a reason to breathe...
