On My Own Confusions

Confusion: Eight

Selfish

Agad din akong umalis nang paalis na si Lerv. While I'm on my way, I called Lerv's mom to tell her that today's our flight.

"Sorry if this is too urgent, Tita." Paumanhin ko.

"It's fine, hija. What about our plane tickets?"

"No need for that, Tita. I already secured our flight." Calmly, I stated.

We bid goodbyes as I know that she'll hurry packing her things now. Gano'n din naman ako pag-uwi. After calling Lerv's mom, I called Zen to inform her the same information. I feel like ako nalang ngayon ang hindi pa nakaka-impake. When I reach home any minute from now, sila ay tapos na sa pag-i-impake.

When I went home, I didn't waste any minute and immediately packed light clothes. A set of night dress, bikinis, light and flowy dresses good for the beach.

Another thing popped to my mind. . . Shit!

Takot ako tumawag kay Lervint at ayaw ko rin tawagan ang Mama niya baka busy pa sa pag-i-impake, I should choose immediately sino tatawagan.

I got my phone and dialed Lerv's number hurriedly.

"Lerv, nasa Toledo sina Tita? It will take an hour for them bago dumating dito sa Talisay—"

"They're already here, Leigh. Kaninang umaga lang. You called them for the vacation?"

"Oo."

"They travelled as early as they could. It'll be accessible for them if nandito na sila—same area as we are," seryoso niyang sabi.

"Okay. Be at the airport by eleven." I informed him.

"Hmm, we'll be there."

Binaba ko na ang tawag at nagpatuloy sa pag-i-impake. Set of basic and essential needs. Mga hygiene and first aid kit. Don't know I was this detailed?

"Ate, let's go!" Dinig kong sigaw ni Zen sa labas.

"Wait!"

Anong oras na ba? Baka ako ngayon ang late ah?

Finished packing everything at nang tiningnan ko ang relo ko, it's almost 10:30. That's fast!

Kaya pala kanina pa tawag nang tawag si Zen.

I pulled my luggage outside my room at mabilis na bumaba. Manong Eli will drive us to the airport right now. Nakita ko rin agad si Zen na parang naiirita habang may hinihintay. I know for a fact that she hates waiting but I had her wait for me countless times.

"Ang tagal." Reklamo niya.

I glared at her bago tiningnan ang maleta niya. "Anything else you want to bring? Aalis na tayo."

She shrugged and followed me outside. We placed our luggage in the van's trunk before we settled inside the van.

"Leigh, hangar 7 pa rin ba?"

"Opo, manong. Nandoon naman ’yon lagi." Mahinhin kong sagot.

"Si Justin? Nandoon na ba?" Tanong niya na hindi ko alam ano isasagot. I didn't call Justin again kung nandoon na ba siya.

"Tawagan mo na muna pinsan mo, Leigh." Agap ni Manong Eli parang alam na hindi ko pa natawagan muli.

"Opo."

Agad kong tinawagan si Justin and good thing, he answered immediately.

"Yes hello, Light."

"Nasa airport ka na?" Mabilis kong tanong.
