I woke up in the morning happy with my family by my side.
I took a stroll around the island again.
I don't know why but something is pushing me to go back kung saan ko nakita ang mga mangingisda kahapon.
In the end I went back to the big rock kung saan ako naka upo kahapon at muling umupo doon.
Nakatanaw lang sa malayo na parang may hinihintay bumalik and I don't know what?
I heard some girl giggles from the other side at nang tignan ko iyon ay napatayo ako.
I saw the same guy from the other day at pinapaligiran na naman ito ng parehong mga babae kahapon, I pouted at the sight of them.
Hindi ba siya naiinis sa mga babaeng iyan? Or maybe sanay na siya? Mas lalo lamang akong napa simangot.
I tried hiding in the rocks when he suddenly look at my way.
Wait? Bakit naman ako nagtatago? As if I'm caught doing something unforgivable.
I again heard their giggled kaya muli kong sinilip ang ginagawa nila at nakitang naghubad ng damit ang lalaki pinapakita ang malalaki nitong muscles and his damn packs of abs!
I got a bit distracted kaya binalik ko ang tingin sa mukha nito pero muntik ng mapaupo sa gulat ng makitang nakatingin na ito sa akin.
Sa kaba ay kumaripas ako ng takbo pabalik sa cottage kung nasaan sila mama.
"Saan ka ba galing, eli? Your cousins are coming here any minute." Si mama kaya nagkibit balikat ako at ngumiti.
My father invited some of our family since malapit na rin daw ang birthday ni mama mag early celebrate na daw kami habang nandito pa sa beach.
"Is maki coming?" Asking about my 5 months old baby cousin.
"Yes, oh by the way? Saan ba pumunta si hannah?" Tanong ni mama habang hinahanda ang umagahan namin.
"Sabi niya pupunta siya sa rest house nila. malapit lang naman daw rito babalik din po agad siya." Sabi ko at tinulongan na si mama.
"Sabihin mo bumalik kamo agad para sabay tayong kumain." Tumango ako.
Dumating ang pamilya namin at tama rin ang pagdating ni hannah kaya nagsimula na kami sa pagkain. I enjoyed my day together with them and I thought everything will be okay now.
Well that's what I thought.
"Mommy! Mommy! When I grow up I want to be a doctor like her!" I saw a kid pointing at the tv show.
"You do?"
Mom? I was about to go near them when everything suddenly turned black
"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!happy birthday happy birthday happy birthday Eli!"
Napalingon ako at muling nakita ang mga taong nagpapalakpakan.
"My baby is a big girl now!"
"Are you ready to enter high school? I'm sure you'll do good! Mana ka sakin eh!"
Was that me? Wait? What is happening right now? I was about to step forward when everything turned black again.
"No eli! Look at what he have done to you?"
"Nagkakaroon kana ng mga bisyo! Natuto ka na ng mga gawaing hindi mo dapat ginagawa? You are not a guy!"
"From now on you are grounded! Don't ever try seeing that guy again."
I saw my self crying inside my old room then everything turned black again. What? is this my memories?
"Don't be such a disappointment, Eli. Please! Nagiging ganito ka dahil lang sa lalaki? Oh nasaan na ba ang pinagyayabang mong lalaki? Ha?"
