Friends
As far as I know, the property is located somewhere on Tablas Island. I don't even know where the fuck that island is. Binili iyon ni Dad years ago dahil birthday gift niya kay Mommy. And now, it was already under construction. It was a private family resort. Mahilig si Teresse Charlotta sa ganoon eh kaya gustong gawan ni Dad ng sariling Maldives-inspired dito sa Luzon nang umuwi siya rito.
Two years na atang ongoing ang construction doon. Dad wants me to judge it and add more details. Plano ko ring dagdagan ng sarili kong villa at pagkakitaan iyon para akin ang shares kung sakali man.
Tyler:
Dad, I forgot to take the docs with me. And what the heck? The trip is almost four hours long! Sabi nitong si Mikael, papunta pa lang kaming Lucena? We will travel through Ferry, which is five hours straight daw papunta doon sa island. It's too long!
Dad:
I'll deliver the papers through a chopper don't worry. You can use the chopper on your way home para mas madali kayong makauwi. Ayos 'yan 9 hours kayong magb-bond hehe
I scoffed unbelievably. I thought the chopper wasn't available? Kaya ko sana ito nang mag-isa lang kung sa chopper nalang ako sumakay. I might even get there as fast as I can. I knew it! This is really a set-up! Gusto ni Dad na maka-bond ko ang anak ni Tito Rommel!
Tahimik na si Kael buong byahe papuntang Lucena. He didn't speak a word, but his face remained dark and furious because of his knitted brows. I was the chill passenger who's even banging my head while vibing with my playlist.
When the car got into the ferry, he went out of the driver's seat like being close to me disgusts him. I saw him rest his arms on the railings of the ferry while looking at the sea seriously.
I opened my phone to at least check messages.
Ronan:
Bakit? Anong nangyari?
And a voice message.
"Paano ako makakarelate sa'yo kung walang context? Nasa'n na? Pabitin! Ano ka, si Rick?"
Ronan:
ANO NA!!!!!!!
I ignored it and opened my messenger app. Sa personal ko na siguro ikukwento kay Ron para mas intense. Nilingon ko kung nasaan si Kael, malayo sa akin, kaya ibinalik ko ang tingin sa messenger ko at inilog-in ang account ni Verena.
I should drop this now. Parang hindi ko na masikmurang anak pala ni Tito Rommel...
Before I could even type for a reply, his call flashed. I muted it while he opened his camera again, as usual.
He looked calm compared to the furious face I've seen earlier. Nakikita ko ang view, kahit ang ibang nasa ferry na nag-uusap usap.
"Papunta akong Romblon. Sinamahan ko 'yung gagong anak ng boss ko," he said gently, but the gago was just too thick not to shrug about.
"Mas gago ka pa rin dahil pumayag ka. It's your fault. Tss," I murmured while typing a reply.
Verena:
