Chapter 19

Drown


My body clock is fucked up, So fucked up. I don't really expect waking up at 5 o'clock in the morning. It's really unbelievable! Never! I usually wake up at six or seven but never five!


Hindi ko nakasanayan ang magising ng maaga dahil malapit lang ako sa schools ko dati and 8 o'clock ang call time ko sa trabaho. I wanted to protest at sigawan si Zeke but Zeke already left and as if things would change If I argue with him. He's Zeke, how can I forget how persistent he is in comes to his decisions.


Zeke has really too many ways on making things possible. Siya na ata si Mr. Possible and kina-career na niya ito ng bongga! I couldn't believe it, He just intrude on my fucking suite, I was dreaming of something then someone's pinching my cheeks akala ko nga ay panaginip iyon but when I opened my eyes it was Zeke. Bumungad sa akin ang napakahot na muhka ni Ezekiel! I really thought it was all dream!


Pero papaano siya nakapasok dito? Damn! Of course, He has connection and power nga pala.

I wanted to shout at him pero I can't! Because we have this thing "bad breathe" after waking up kaya ang nagawa ko nalang ay itulak siya para ilayo sa harap ng muhka ko. "Good morning, Sunshine." Umismid ako sa kanya, Umalis na ako sa kama at naglakad na papuntang bathroom pero bago pa ako pumasok ay simaan ko siya ng tingin, "I'm not Sunshine, bastard."


Nagayos na ako, nagtoothbrush, naligo at nagbihis na rin ng mountclimbing gear, Pagkalabas ko palang ng banyo ay nangasar agad si Zeke, "Uy, onting bilis naman." Gustong gusto ko siyang batukan for what he have said pero wala pa ako sa mood and I don't want to ruin my morning kaya umirap nalang ako sa kanya. And it's five o'clock in the morning for goodness sakes!


He handed me a cup of coffe and pandesal, I accepted it. He looked at me from head to toe so I frowned at him "Bakit?" He shrugged, I wanted him to talk dahil I want to know what's his thinking right now. Is it bad to know what are the things inside his head?


Akala ko hindi na talaga siya sasagot but he talked anyway, "Mountclimbing gear looks good on you." Aniya, I scoffed and looked at him.


"Everything looks good on me kaya!" I looked away agad dahil iyong tingin na naman niya, Dammit! Nakakalunod!

"Even poop looks good on you, huh?" Hala, tangina neto ah? Early in the morning nang gaganyan na naman siya! Well what should I expect from him? Eh wala namang pinipiling oras yang kagaspangan ng ugali niyan, Tsss.

"Zeke, Anong oras tayo aalis?" Pagiiba ko ng topic dahil kapag pinatulan ko pa yung sinabi niya kanina panigurado, The war would never end.

"Oh Shoot! Actually we should be leaving right now." sabi niya habang nagpupunas ng kamay at tumayo, I looked up at him.

"Tara na sabi eh." Napatayo ako agad at dali-daling kinuha ang aking mountclimbing bag.

"Zeke, pahinging water." I said for the third time, Dalawang oras na kaming naglalakad patungo sa taas, Akala ko nung una ay may mga kasama kami o kahit guide man lang. I even said to Zeke what are my expectation on climbing hills and mountain today but he told me na kabisado na niya ang patungo sa itaas because he climbed here countless times so hindi na daw kailangan ng iba pang kasama. He's so confident and I should give him for that. But! Sobrang nakakapagod na!


"This would be the last time, Christen. Ubos na ubos ko na yung mga dala kong tubig. Bakit kasi wala kang dala ng sarili mo?" Inis niyang turan, Ang sungit sungit kala mo hindi siya yung nag-aya sa akin dito!


"I never thought I would be this thirsty eh!" Angal ko, He never said a word again and rolled his eyes at me at nagpatuloy sa paglakad. Sungit!


After a thousands of steps, Finally! We have reached the top, Gusto kong sumigaw sigaw pero inaalala ko kung nay nakatira dito sa tuktok at batuhin ako ng bottle of water dahil umagang umaga palang ay nageeskandalo na ako agad.


Napangiwi ako sa mga iniisip ko kaya tiningnan ko ang paligid, It seems wala namang tumitira dito. I looked at Zeke who were busy taking pictures on his own GoPro, Inilabas ko na rin iyong akin to take some shots of this beautiful view.


Super breathtaking! Like I've said before mas maganda makita ng malapitan at maexperience mo ang mga bagay na ganito because there would always be a thing that a camera can't capture. Beauty that gadgets can't handle, beauty that only naked eyes could capture.


"Christen, picture tayo." Napalingon ako sa kanya, I immediately run to him at nagpicture kami.


"Zeke sa GoPro ko naman." He grabbed my camera and we took some pictures, Yung iba formal smile yung iba naman sobrang wacky. Napailing nalang ako sa mga pinagagawa naming dalawa, We would forver be childish.


"Doon tayo." Turo sa isang side na mas kita ng malapitan iyong view ng dagat.


"Mas maganda magpicture doon." Tumango ako at hinawakan niya ang kamay ko sabay hila sa akin papunta sa itinuuro niyang pwesto kanina. Be still, my heart.


"Wow." I say breathlessly, This view is really one hella worth of all those burned fats of hiking. I haven't saw this scenario before, This was my first time to climb mountain. I looked at Zeke who were also looking at the view napatingin siya sa gawi ko kaya ngumiti ako,


"Zeke, thank you for bringing me in here." Ngumiti siya ng napaka tamis sa akin at binitawan ang kamay ko saka inakbayan ako, I wanted to hug him for that action. Masyado na ba akong Hopeless Romantic? I wanted to compose myself, this is so alarming, I shouldn't feel this kind of thing. Pero hindi ko mapigilan ang mga paru-parong nagwawala sa aking tiyan! Dammit!


"Christen." I can hear him say that all day, It was like music to my ears, very sexy and husky voice gives a thousands shivers on my spine, It was like a magic to my whole system. Magic to me, to the whole of me.


"I would never let a beautiful view just be a view, It should be told to others and let them see it. Dapat hindi ipinagdadamot ang mga bagay at kagandahan na ganito." Sabi ni Zeke na marrin pa rin akong tinitingnan.


Why Is he like that? Why is he making me fall without even trying so hard, without even knowing that he's doing it so damn right? But he already did, He made me fall so deep that I, myself, don't even know how to recover from this drown.
