"What the fuck? Danny?" Cory uttered, confusion set all over her face while pinning disappointment on me.
Napabitaw ako nang malalim na hininga. "I know. How could I do this? Hindi ko rin alam. Do I even know he was friends with that fucker? I didn't even know his friends and you know why was that."
"Did you fuck him?" Cory asked.
"Lukas? Never again. Quentin? I did and I regret it."
"Ano nang gagawin mo ngayon?" balik nitong tanong sa akin. At the back of my head, I had no answer to her question. My mind was flying somewhere trying to make sense of everything that had happened.
Napakibit balikat ako. "May magagawa pa nga ba ako? We fucked and that would be the end of it. Hinding-hindi na ako magpapakita sa mokong na 'yon. I really thought I did find something new to him pero siya pa pala 'tong magdadala ng kamalasan sa akin. I'm not sure if I should hate being here on the island. Gusto ko nang umalis."
"Aalis ka kaagad just because they were there?" she questioned me like what I stated was wrong. "Funny thing is, I was in the same position before to where you are right now, Danny. Remember when Derek and Felicity had their wedding here in Palawan and we met them here as well? I really tried to act as normal as I could be dahil ayoko siyang bigyan ng satisfaction na hindi pa ako nakamo-move on sa kanya. I did naman. I would get what you were feeling right now. Okay lang masaktan, but you know that you don't have to dwell on that anger, pain, or whatever you are feeling right now. Aalis din naman 'yan, but you'll remain there."
"Hindi ko alam, sis. . ." aniko. "But thank you for your words, natandaan ko pa nga lahat 'yon. I even teased you before about it. Karma is a bitch, sis."
Natawa naman kaming dalawa. "'Yan, dapat happy ka lang! Wala ka pa namang balak umalis ng Siargao dahil sa kanya 'no?"
Napangisi ako. "To be honest, I'd thought of it. No'ng makita ko siya. Gusto ko na agad mag-empake at umalis. Walang nakaaalam no'ng nangyari except Austin who was there at the exact time I saw Lukas."
"So, alam niya?"
"Oo, sinabi ko," tugon ko. "Nagtanong siya, e. Bakit daw ako umalis no'n sa Cloud Nine tapos hindi na bumalik. I couldn't lie to him. Sinabi ko sa kanya na ex ko 'yong grupo na tinuturuan niya mag-surfing. He said they were nice naman, but of course, hindi niya kilala 'yon personally so he would only judge them by the first time he met them."
"Totoo naman, they could even lie to his face at baka may pinagsasabi na rin sila kay Austin, 'no."
"Hala, sis? Baka nga, 'no?" Naramdaman ko ang dibdib ko. "Pa'no nga kaya 'no?"
"Kausapin mo siya, tanungin mo lang. Pasimplehan mo lang, gano'n. Saka. . . Baka naman kasi si Austin talaga ang for you? Hindi naman kita ija-judge if you're looking out for fun there, pero bakit ka pa hahanap kung nandiyan si Austin, 'di ba?"
