"HAYAN na ang araw, Ela! Bumaba ka na riyan! Bilis!"
Sigaw ni Yanah habang mabilis na tumakbo pababa. Oo nga pala. Sasalubungin nga pala namin ang araw.I looked at the clock, it's already 5:30 a.m.10 more minutes before the sun rises. I immediately wore my scarf as i ran down.
We stayed overnight in Hemera's house since it was built in the mountains which has a better view than our initial plan.
I felt the cold breeze brush against my skin.
Napatingin ako kay Ystellah na mukhang inaantok pa. "Still sleepy, Stel?" I spoke as i took the seat beside her. She smiled and nodded.
"Namimiss mo pa rin ba siya?"
Mahinang tanong ni Stel sa akin. Oh God knows how that question made me stop in the spot.
"Minsan? oo." Pilit akong tumawa. "Hanggang ngayon kasi iniisip ko parin kung ano kaya ang mangayayari kung ako yung pinili niya? Ipinaglaban niya.." I wipe the tears that welled up in my eyes.
I felt Stel's arms wrapped around me, i felt safe in her arms. " Lahat naman napapaisip ng ganyan, we tend to overthink things, don't we?" mahina syang tumawa. "For some, they easily get over it pero sa other cases it GETS stuck on their head like a tattoo." She softly spoke as she looked at me. "Listen, Ela. it won't be that easy, but trust me. Someday, or maybe one day? you'll finally get over him.. at alam mo naman siguro na nariyan ako. Kami."
I smiled at her as i muttered ‘thank you.’
NAPATINGIN kami sa sumigaw. Yanah was running while Viktoria was chasing after her holding a... HANGER? Seriously? I had to stiffle laugh. While, Hemera looked like a worried mom.
"Guys... slow down! baka you'll get hurt!"
She yelled in panic. She pouted as we all burst into laughter
We all stopped when we felt the warm air on our skin. Ang ganda... I saw Yanah taking a picture while Viktoria was making funny faces earning a slap from Yanah. Idiots. Hemera was sipping her coffee as she took in the beautiful scene infront of us. Stel was covering her eyes since saktong tumama ang sinag ng araw sa kaniyang mukha.
I let the warm breeze embrace me as i close my eyes and our memories flooded in my mind in an instant.
"you're breathtaking."
He spoke as he wrapped his toned arms around me. "Mahal mo naman?" I teased but laughed when he nodded.
"Sobra."
