SCSU: Venice II - Still Into You (Published under Pop Fiction)

Kabanata 27

Hindi ko alam kung maniniwala ba ako sa sinabi n'ya. It's impossible...

"You are just kidding right?" Tanong ko, nilingon ko s'ya. Naglalagay na s'ya ng lotion sa aking balikat. Bahagya s'yang natigilan, ngumisi pagtapos ay tinuloy ang paglalagay ng lotion.

I frowned, I know he's just joking pero mahirap na't muntik na akong naniwala sa sinabi n'ya.

Sobrang bagal ng takbo ng mundo para sakin, I want to stop every second so I can cherish this moment.

"I really like seas than pool, hope that this will not be the last." Sabi ko habang nakatingin sa dagat.

Ipinatong ko ang baba ko sa aking tuhod habang hinahanap sina Denise sa may dagat.

Natapos na s'yang naglagay ng bumaling ako sakanya.

"Do you want me to put sunblock on you?" Tanong ko at agad s'yang umiling.

"Let's just stay like this for away." Aniya lalong lumapit sa akin atska n'ya ako niyakap mula sa likod

"Ang sarap ng baby ko, amoy vanilla." Aniya at lalong nilapit ang ilong sa may leeg ko, nilalanghap ang bangong galing sa sunblock.

I suddenly felt goosebumps! Tila tumaas ang mga balahibo ko and my legs suddenly feel like jelly.

"Dael, ang daming tao oh." Sabi ko habang nililingon ang mga taong napapatingin sa akin, ni hindi man n'ya iyon nakikita dahil nakasubsob parin ang mukha n'ya sa leeg ko

"I don't care about them, they should be happy that they are witnessing how deep is our love. Let them be, let them take pictures. Kakalat at kakalat rin naman 'to sa media so there's no reason to hide it."

Napaayos ako ng upo, bakit ba kapag kasama ko s'ya ay nakakalimutan kong sikat s'ya sa bansa at kinahuhumalingan ng madaming madla!

Maybe this man beside me is still the same years ago before I left him. Walang nagbago sakanya except of course sa feature ng mukha and paglaki ng katawan, aside from that wala na. His attitude towards me is still the same and I love him more because of that.

Nanatili kami sa ganoong pwesto hanggang sa napagisipan na naming turuan n'ya na ako sa pagsurf since yun naman talaga ang gagawin namin.

He went to the sun lounger and get something inside the bag, I didn't know that there's a bag there. Iniabot n'ya sa akin ang itim na rush guard and black swim shorts

"Wear that, I won't allow you to surf if you wear those offensive clothes." Aniya tinutukoy ang bikini ko. Ngumiwi ako pero sinuot parin ang binigay n'ya. He even help me in wearing the rush guard.

"Why do you have these? Bakit hindi ko 'to napansin kanina sa upuan?"

"I bought it at the souvenir shop and ask the saleslady to bring it here after 20 mins because I don't want you showing too much skin in front of many people, sakin lang pwede." Aniya at inakbayan ako. "Shall we go?"

Tumango ako at nag renta kami ng dalawang surfboard. Mine is pink and his is black since it's his favorite color and mine too although I only like black when it was partnered with white, I also like matte black and grey but they don't have it here so nevermind na lang and Dael wants me to get the pink board para daw agad n'ya akong makikita because it's neon.

Iniwan n'ya muna iyong kanya sa gilid dahil tuturuan n'ya muna ako

"Lay on top of the board as if you're planking and then paddle." Aniya habang inaalalayan ako. Mamaya pa daw yung alon kaya ito muna daw ang ituturo n'ya but I want to stand up although naf-feeling kong lalambot ang tuhod ko kapag ginawa ko yun.
