On the sink, in the bathtub, on the balcony, on the couch, and even on the table. Lahat na lang yata ng sulok na kung saan puwede kami ay ganun na ang ginagawa namin. We only took a break once we were hungry and outside. I love what we are doing and enjoy every bit of it. We walked in holding hands and walked side by side, enjoying everything around us.

Sana hindi na matatapos ito, pero lahat ng kasiyahan ay may katapusan. Kaya nandito na naman kami sa VB hotel and resort ni Glenn.

Nagkatinginan ang mga magulang niya sa akin. Mahigpit ang hawak ng kamay ni Glenn sa kamay ko at kinakabahan ako.

Thinking that I don't have my parents with me anymore my feeling intensify towards Glenn's parents. I don't want them to dislike me. I don't want them to think negative about me. Importante sila kay Glenn, at ayaw ko na ako ang magiging dahilan ng lahat ng gulo na darating.

"So, how's everything?" Tipid ang ngiting pinakawalan ng Mama ni Glenn habang kumakain kami.

Nagsabay kami sa tanghalian. Ito ang gusto ng mga magulang ni Glenn. Nandito sila sa VB at nagpapahinga. Ikatlong araw na nila rito, at dapat sana ay lilipad na sila ngayon papuntang Paris, pero hindi nila ginawa. Hinintay nila si Glenn na makabalik at nag re-book sila ng anniversarry nila sa susunod na buwan.

"It's all good, Mama. The construction will end before the target date, so we will have plenty of time to prepare for the opening of the VB."

Kumurap ako. Nakangiti si Glenn at masaya habang nakangiti sa akin. I can't help but adore how he tends to do his job perfectly without mistakes in many ways. Sa kabila ng tatlong araw na honeymoon namin sa Panglao, ay hindi siya humawak ng cellphone man lang para kamustahin ang lahat. Hindi siya nag alala sa negosyo niya at kahit pa sa mga magulang niya.

"That's good. You are way ahead, son." His father complimented.

Natahimik ulit, at nag serve ng panibagong dish ang chef.

The chef explained the dish as it will be added to the menu of the resort. Parang naging food tasting na ang pananghalian na ito, dahil bago ang mga putahe.

"I love how light the food is yet delicious," komplimento ng ina ni Glenn.

"By the way, Saber kept calling us. May hindi ka ba sinasabi anak tungkol sa negosyo ninyo?"

Nahinto ako at mahina ang paglingon ko kay Glenn sa tabi ko. I didn't look at Glenn's parents in the eyes. I don't want to disappoint them, and I know that in their eyes, I am already a disappointment to their son.

"She sounded desperate to talk to you, son. Hindi ba kayo nag usap noong pumunta siya sa estate ng mansyon mo? She stayed there for three days, right? Did the two of you had a sour discussion about the business?" pagpatuloy ng ina niya.

Glenn cleared his throat, and I could sense the tension. I dipped my head, never having the courage to look Glenn's parents in the eyes. They probably want to discuss this without me here, which might be why Glenn is not talking.

Ininom ko agad ang tubig at saka mahina akong tumayo.

"Excuse me. . . Mag-CCR lang po." Ngumiti ako at hindi pinapahalata ito.

Tumango ang ina ni Glenn, siya lang din naman kasi ang nakatingin sa akin. Glenn and his father both looked serious at each other.

I entered the toilet and washed my hands afterwards. Hindi na muna ako lumabas at hinayaang saglit na mag usap ang mga magulang ni Glenn sa kanya. Kinuha ko ang cellphone sa bulsa at saka nag check ako sa dating email. Ang tagal ko na na hindi nabubuksan ito, dahil umiiwas ako.
