Aljur's POV
It's been a week after our graduation, hindi ko pa nakikita si Yla , I always get my self busy. Well madami rin naman siyang pinagkakaabalahan, we'll just text each other every night, or more often telephone call. I miss her that much! Hindi na ko makapaghintay na makita siya bukas. Tomorrow will be our trip to Palawan, I'm happy to know that Kyle able to convince Tito Haime. He became really protective the last time I drove Yla home late. The thought of something have come into my mind but like wind blows out away. Alam ko namang Yla is the only daughter they have, kaya nga they don't allow Yla go far from them. I sigh and begin checking everything. Okay naman na lahat para sa one week stay in namin sa Palawan, everything is polished I have nothing to worried about. I dial Alvin's number and after 2 ring's the call was answered.
Alvin: What's up bro??
I just want to ask what time you expected me in your house tomorrow?? I said
Alvin: mmm... well can it be tonight?
Tonight?? it's pretty early... what particularly is the reason why? I ask hindi ko ito inaasahan,
how about Yla? who will drive for her to Palawan if they'll leave tonight?? those thoughts keeps playing in his mind.
Alvin: We have to be there as early as possible because Tino told us that the daughter of the owner will appear tomorrow morning, she expected her guests right away. And he added that the resort might be fully occupied by lots of people because of summer is starting already. More tourist are yet to come.
How about Yla? I thought we will go there together. he ask worriedly
Alvin: No worries bro, my twin will accompanied her the whole trip and besides Kyle and one friend of them will come too. I already informed her earlier before I call you. He explain
He took a deep breathe and releases ...Fine, I'm convince expect me there within an hour. I'll bring my things.
Alvin: sounds great, I'll wait for you. Bye and the call ended.
Naghanda na si Aljur para umalis, he had nothing to worry about Yla. Alvin is really smart, he pick his things and wore his bag. He's ready. He headed on his car and take a good look at it, He will not use it for several days or a week he thinks. Nagpaalam na siya sa Mom and Dad niya pati kay Jared na nagtatampo, he know he's the tail he would left. He grab a taxi easily and waited until he arrived at Alvin's house.

They are now on their way to Palawan. Ng makarating sila sa sakayan ng barko ay agad silang pumunta sa pinakataas kung saan maganda ang view. They have no choice but to ride in a regular ship. Naubusan sila ng ticket para sa 1st class na ship. Unlike the first class ship, the regular ship is crowded. Bakasyon na kasi kaya madami ang pasahero.
They arrive at exactly 3:00 o'clock in the morning, sumakay sila ng UV express then after one and one half hour they arrived at the resort. Nag check in na sila then go to their respective rooms. Natulog sila para bukas. It's a tiring trip, they spent almost 8 hours on the road from Manila to Palawan.

Aljur's POV
Nagising ako sa maingay na daldalan ng ASTRA. I heard them laugh. As I opened my eyes, I see them on one bed in an Indian seat nakabilog sila habang may pinagtatawanan. I stood and walk towards them. They cut the laughter they have then hide something. Hmmm.... I just nod and head to the bathroom. I was shocked to see my face with markers. Kung ano anong drawing. I suddenly, burst out, Bulsh*t they took the opportunity to do this. I washes my face and dried with clean towel. "They pay for this". I actually know the mam behind this, sino pa nga ba Simon will do. Agad akong lumabas with sharp eyes only to find my self alone. Nasan na yung mga yun? I change my clothes and go out to find my friends. Iniikot ko ang mga mata ko sa bawat nadadaanan ko, napaka laki ng resort na ito. Everything is good. The furnitures, ceiling, walls, frames and everything please my eyes. I saw a crowed of people in one corner of the resort, I notice some popular reporters. This interest me. I search for Alvin and others. They are in one corner listening to a man looks familar for me.
Nang makarating ako sa kinaroroonan nila ay agad kong binatukan si Simon and headed to other. Hindi ko palalagpasin ang ginawa nilang kalokohan kanina. They all groans as they notice my heavy hand smashes their head.
Tino:Aray!!! grabe naman... para saan ba yun? he ask innocently
I just give him my death glare. He rises his hand tanda ng pagsuko. I eyed each of them. They pointed Simon as mastermind.
Simon: Let me explain! I— hindi na niya na natuloy ang sasabihin, we were interrupted by a announcement.
"And now, I would like to introduced the woman behind the success of our resort. Mr. Mubet's daughter Wenna Kennedy Mublet.
Everyone clapped their hands except the group of boys gathered in one side. They are all shocked.
Wendy started to speak along her speech a strange stare caught her attention. It was Ajur with no emotions at all.

Wendy's POV
Hindi ako nakapagsalita, napako ng mga mata ng lalaking walang emosyong tumitingin sa akin ang aking attensyon. It was Aljur. He own a poker face. I was back in the realization when the MC speak. I ended my speech pale and worried. I miss him badly. I excuse my self in the crowed of people. A tear suddenly falls from my eyes down to my cheek. I was hurt. Seeing Aljur makes me feel guilty. I still remember the past, the last time I saw that face. Every single details were still clear to me. He ended everything from us, "Happy break day" that's the last phrase I heard from him. I went to my room. I want to sleep, I want to believed it was just a dream.
Aljur's POV
Rex: Yun ba si Wendy??
Simon: Ang ganda pala ng ex mo dude.
Tino: Lahat naman maganda sayo Kuya Simon.
Rex: Hahaha, yeah right.
Simon: Pakialam nyo ba?? Pero sya nga ba tlaga si Wendy??Lahat sila nakatingin lang saakin.
Yes, she is Wendy. I said
Tino: Paano yan, lilipat na ba tayo ng resort??
No, why would we do that??
Rex: Tama bakit nga ba tayo aalis? besides andito naman si Yla mamaya lang.
Tino: That's the point. Panu kung may apoy na kumalat sa tahimik na gubat?? at— aray!!!!! sakit mo mamatok
Simon: Anu ka ba! hindi naman ganun si Yla, at saka wala ka naman na nararamdaman kay Wendy diba bro?? They all eyed on my direction.
Yes, I love Yla kaya why would I be bothered?? I said confidently
Simon: Sabi ko naman sayo Tino eh!!
Alvin: Tayo na sa room natin, tayo na lang natitira dito. Lahat kami napatingin sa kanya, kanina pa nga to tahimik bakit kaya?? Nauna na siyang lumakad, at sinundan lang namin siya. Ano problema nito? Well tama naman siya dahil kami na lang talaga natitira ditong nakatayo. Pero hindi pa rin maalis sa isip ko ang mga ikinikilos ni Alvin.
