Con otra oportunidad - spanish for WITH ANOTHER CHANCE.

Mika

I'm here all alone inside my room. Again. My silent sanctuary.

Sipping a cup of chamomile tea while flipping a certain fashion magazine, which I'm featured in one of the few pages inside it. But honestly I wasn't reading or looking at it properly. My attention and mind were somewhere else. Wandering again.

As I looked at the pictures, Inside the magazine is a beautiful girl but even me I can tell it that she's not really happy. Her eyes will possibly tell it all.

It's been a year since that day I saw him, but I can still remembered how he looked at me and smiled bitterly. Though lot of things around me changed, that day was still fresh and vivid into my memory. The last words that he said gave me the unbearable pain that I'm hiding to all the people around me.

How could we end up like this? What happened to us?

Flashback

A year ago.

It was a beautiful sunny day. Sky is blue. Flowers and greens are blooming vigorously. Kiefer asked me to go on a road trip. He told me, he'll have a surprise to show to me. Upon hearing that, I giggle like a three year old little girl.

"Baby don't be too excited. Mabangga tayo ah."

Kiefer told me, almost half yelling. We're inside his car and heading to the place where his "surprise" is waiting for us. I tried to tickled his neck so that he would tell me what's his plan this time.

"Babe what is it nga kasi? Tell me please!!"

"Wag pasaway Mika ah. I'll tell you when we get there. Just relax Babe."

"Ravena di ka nagsasawa magsurprise ng magsurprise sakin."

"Basta ikaw Baby di ako magsasawa. Ikaw ata nagsasawa kasi nagmamaktol ka na."

"Of course not. But its just nakakahiya na Babe eh. Ikaw na lang lage nag eeffort."

"Baby yung mga ginagawa ko wala pa sa mga ginawa mo para sakin eh. Olats ako kung paano mo ko alagaan."

"Wow bola pa. Gustong gusto mo naman yun."

"Sympre aangal pa ba ko? Mika Reyes nag aalaga sakin. It's an honor Babe. Sobra. Love you."

He threw a glimpe of me and smiled sweetly followed by reaching my hand then kissing it. It was a sweet gesture from him that became a habit now.

At dahil hindi nya talaga sasabihin kung anu ung surprise nya. I just decided to stay quiet and enjoys the scenery outside from my window.

It took us almost an hour and half when we reached the place. At tama nga yung hula ko na sa Tagaytay yung punta namin. But this time it's a different location. Kiefer parked his car at the front of a newly built bed and breakfast hotel.

"Babe bago eto ah."

"Yup Baby. I've heard they have the most delicious spanish food here. Let's try their paella, gambas and churros."

"Aww. I like that."

"I love you."

He replied grinning at me. Basta talaga makasingit ng banat eh babanat sya.

"Mga banat mo talaga. Bilisan mo bumaba jan. Gutom na ko."

"Opo eto na nga eh your highness."

As soon as we had our table, Kiefer and I checked the menus. At dahil ako nga daw ang boss lahat ng gusto ko yun ang orders namin.

We feasted on a seafood paella, prawns arribiata, spicy churizo and of course some mouth-watering churros for our dessert.

"Babe thank you for this day."

"Baby hindi pa eto ung surprise ko kaya wag magthank you. Lunch date with the Bae eto."

"Huh?"

"Let's just call these surprises the "three S". First this Spanish food trip with you, and this would be the second."

Kiefer told me while showing me a white envelope that he got from his pocket. In a snap, my eyebrows creases and looked at him curiosly.

"Open it Baby please?"

I took the envelop from his hand and quickly opens it. Upon seeing what's inside it, my eye socket almost popped out. It's a round-trip ticket to Singapore.

"So Ms. Mika Aereen Reyes are you ready to go on trip with me? I'll be your tour guide/body guard/ yaya/ boyfriend for two days.

"Ravena anu na naman eto?"

I said teary eyed. Si Kiefer mukhang nabahala at agad lumapit sa pwesto ko at pinunasan ang mga luha ko gamit ang mga kamay nya.

"Baby what's the matter? Ayaw mo ba?"

Kiefer asked me panicking. I just shook my head in response.

"And why are you crying? Tell me please. Did I do something wrong? Gusto ko lang kasi makasama ka. Bumawi sayo. Yun ung isa sa goal natin diba? Yung to travel together. Kya kahit two days lang siniksik ko na sa sched ko kasi gusto ko bumawi sayo. Dami ko na atraso sayo Miks. Sorry if di mo gusto eto. If nabigla kita kasi ang usapan natin ung ipaplan natin eto. Sorry if atribido na naman ako. Gusto lang talaga kita masolo kahit two days na yun. Yung malayo sa lahat. Yung private. Sorry."

Kiefer explained and looked at me worriedly. I felt guilty. I looked at him for a quite a while. His eager eyes are looking at me intently. Yung tingin parang nagtatanong but at the same time naguguluhan at kinakabahan.

I gather a few rounds of breathing exercise before I had the courage to say something.

"Bae thank you. Tutuparin mo talaga ung "travel together" goal natin."

I smiled cheerfully and gave him a peck on his lips. Si mokong mukha ata nagulat at natulala kya binigyan ko pa ng konting pitik sa noo sabag bulong na "Ni hao Ma"?

"We're going to Singapore, Baby. Sasama ka na?"

Kiefer asked me, and I automatically nodded my head.

"Yes! God Mika, I thought aayawan mo. Pinag ipunan mo ticket nito eh."

"Sympre sasama ako. Libre mo eh."

Then he hugged me tightly while both of us are laughing.

Sa isip ko eto na yun. One goal will finally becoming true. A far place and just the two of us.

I'm excited. Anu man mangyari sa amin dun bahala na basta kasama ko sya........

TO BE CONTINUED.......
