"I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
I want to know right now what will it be
Will it be yes or will it be sorry?"



Danger




I was waiting for Lorene here on the deck. She takes too long. I thought that she prepared and packed everything last night. Kung bakit ba kasi kasama pa siya sa invitation ng lolo ni Karina. I was supposed to get my phone on my pocket and message her if she wants to come or no. Gusto ko na kasi siyang tirisin sa isip ko, kanina pa ako nag follow-up ng messages sa kanya may dalawang oras na.Nawala ata ang pag muni-muni ko ng may narinig akong boses galing sa likuran. Finally!


"Hey! I'm sorry, I'm late." Lorene said. She's carrying a small luggage.

She's running out of breath when she said those words to me. Saan na naman kaya nagpunta 'to kagabi. Ang itsura niya kasi ngayon, itsura ng kagigising lang but still she looks decent.Pero kilala ko kasi 'to eh. Feel ko hindi natulog sa condo niya 'to kagabi. Mukha kasing puyat kahit natakpan ang mga mata niya ng sunglasses na suot niya ngayon.

"You take too long. Alam mo bang ikaw na lang hinintay namin." Litanya ko sa kanya.

"Nag sorry na nga ako eh. Bakit kumpleto na ba lahat ng passengers?" Sagot niya.

Lumilinga pa ang gaga. She's checking if I'm telling the truth. As if kung magbibilang pa siya ng mga pasahero dito.

"Napagod ako, Danger." Umpisa niya and her eyes searched for something. "This is bullshit, you know? How come the Vice-President invited me here? I'm not even a close friend nor family to them." She complained.

Nakikinig lang ako sa mga pinagsasabi niya. In that case, she has a point that's how.

"May point ka naman pero bakit nandito ka?" Balik ko sa kanya. Tumingin pa siya sakin ng patanong din.

"I don't know." While she caressed her hair.

She searched for a bench in the deck. Everyone is so busy doing their things. There's no bench available, it's occupied even to the edge of this deck.

Most of the passengers are foreigners.Konti lang kaming local. I think maya-maya lang aalis na rin 'tong barko.I saw how the crew politely assisted of all the passengers here.

Sir Sixto Fuentebella offered us a free domestic cruise for two days. As his late honeymoon to us, of course his granddaughter Karina. Ang hindi ko lang alam kung bakit pati 'tong si Lorene eh sinama niya sa invitation. Hindi ko rin alam kung sinu-sino pa sa mga kamag -anak ni Karina ang sumama rin.

I was busy wandering when Lorene called my name. I saw her sitting on the edge while carrying her luggage.

"Gusto ko na lang umuwi." She informed me.

Sakto naman nag announce ang captain na in ten minutes eh aalis na kami.

Napa hampas pa siya sa hita niya.

"Damn it!" In her frustrated voice. "Bwisit!"

"Why didn't you enjoy it? There's a lot of fish in the sea." While I raise my eyebrows and wink at her.

I was referring to the women here. Iba kasi siya makatingin sa mga nakapaligid sa amin eh. Hindi pa ba siya pagod mukhang kagabi pa kasi siya on duty sa one night stand niya.

"Fuck you!" She raises her middle finger at me.

"Fuck and moan them hard, Lorene." I rebutted.

Naputol lang ang usapan namin ng may lumapit na crew attendant. She's a cabin steward. She's looking at us.
