Love they say is One step at a time..you can't hurry it nor you can't force it. It is something that you want to take slowly but surely and Love is a feeling you put actions on, whether its small or big as long as you give your best into it.
Love i...
(A/N: Part 2 ng Getaway, I really need to put this one because it's been in my head since yesterday but I need to finish Courage to Love muna before I proceed in writing this fic, ang daming fanfiction stories sa instagram ng mga possible scenes ng dalawa sa Bora. Nakaka-inspire lang magsulat din at saka kinikilig talaga ako sa mga pictures nilang dalawa noong Linggo. Sana, sana Lord, maulit yung quality time nila together.
At pinush ko talaga tong matapos ngayon, mabu-busy na kasi sa pagcompute ng grades, so baka matagalan ang updates. Will be posting 2 more for Getaway tomorrow and then focus na ulit ako sa Scenarios.)
Ninoy Aquino Int'l. Airport
"Tisoy, I'm calling, answer your phone," she's been calling him for the nth time now pero di talaga siya sumasagot. Malapit na silang mag-boarding and she wanted to talk to him first before departure kasi hindi na sila nagkausap simula ng umalis sila sa Broadway.
"Shoks, ano ba...why are you not answering my call?" she's clearly upset now. She also sent him too many messages for the past hour but with no avail, hindi talaga siya ma-contact.
"Mongs, boarding na. Halika na." Direk Pat led the way together with the gang. They were all excited, she was too but the thought of Richard not answering any of her text messages and calls disturbed her.
"Oh, magliliwaliw ka na nga, sambakol pa rin yang mukha mo. Anong meron?" asked Direk Pat who is seated beside her and noticed her grim expression.
"Si Alden ehh, missing in action. Di na nga nagpaalam sa akin kanina, ngayon naman di ko makontak. Namumuro na sa akin ang lalaking yun," she said a little teary-eyed. "Hindi naman siya ganyan dati, actually ngayon niya lang ginagawa sa akin toh, masasapak ko na siya, kala niya."
"Yaan mo na muna, tatawag din yan. May inaasikaso lang siguro. Ang importante ma-enjoy mo ang trip na'to di bah, sige na smile ka na," I smile a small smile, ayoko namang masira ang mood ng biyahe dahil lang sa akin.
He'll call. Tiwala lang Meng, tatawag din yun.
With that thought she let herself relaxed and anticipate the 2-day rest granted to her. Minsan lang mangyari kaya sasagarin na niya. For the last 7 months, work has been her dry run and it was tiring and demanding but it was all worth it.
Sleep take over her and within a minute, she's in la-la land.
"Yeah, got it..hehe, Eto tulog, lagot ka dito. Nagtampo na naman ata sa'yo,"
She can vaguely hear the conversation Direk Pat was having with someone over the phone. It was past eight and she's been sleeping since they take off from Manila. Direk Pat had to wake her when they landed in Caticlan Airport but she automatically dozed off again when the service van of the hotel they're going to stay-in picked them up.
"Sige na, malapit na kami. Text you later kung anong ganap,"
I woke to full consciousness with Direk Pat whispering to someone in the phone and I can't quite make out the things she's saying.
"Ate Pat, okay ka lang? Sino kausap mo? "
"Ha, ahh..wala...wala. Tumunog nga pala cellphone mo may nagtext or missed call ata,"
"Si Nanay lang, nangungumusta. Teka, ba't parang tensionado ka? May problema ba Ate Pat?"
"Wala naman. O, hotel na pala tayo, lika na,"
Discovery Shores Hotel is a beauty. It is warm, cozy and accommodating. Ngayon pa lang naeexcite na siya sa mga gagawin niya within her 2-day break. Their rooms were situated in the floor were sunsets and sunrise can be viewed and she promised to enjoy the view in all its worth.

She glance at her cellphone, it's been 4 hours already at nakarating na lamang siya sa Boracay hindi pa rin nagpaparamdam si RJ. Just then, her phone started ringing, it registered Your Tisoy calling....
"Meng? Where ka?" A sweet voice greeted her.
"Wow, ha...malambing lang ang peg? Nandito sa Boracay? Bakit?"
"Boracay? You're really in Boracay? Kala ko nagbibiro ka lang sa mga text mo ehh. What are you doing there pala?"
"Uhmmm.....maghahanap ng bagong shokoy," she heard him laugh and she smiled.
"Wish you were here," I said, somewhat wondering when and where can they have their own vacation together
"Yeah, me too. Sorry nga pala if I wasn't able to make time for us. Babawi ako Meng ha, just give me a little more patience, okay?" She can hear Mama Ten calling him in the background and that was her cue to say goodbye and goodnight to him. "Got to go Meng. Rest well and enjoy Boracay. Love you," she hasn't even said her goodbye's to him when he went out of line.
"Okay. I love you too, RJ" she wanted to cry, no, she wanted to scream and shout and blame everyone but she's too tired to do everything she wanted to do. Nagsisimula pa lang ang 2016, Menggay, masosolo mo rin ang boyfriend mo. Patience, patience.
A knock on the door startled her of her musings. She hurriedly open the door only to be greeted by Direk Pat's smiling face. She's carrying a white rectangular box.
"Delivery for you. Galing dun sa nag-sponsor ng trip na'to,"
"Oo nga noh, sino pala yun? Si Mr. T ba? O si Bossing? O baka naman, hala! Si Tatay ba?"
"Ewan, di ko rin alam. Siya sige, call me kung gusto muna kumain. Katabing kwarto lang ako"
She opened it and saw a beautifully arranged yellow carnations. She smiled and thought, with or without Tisoy, this trip is going to be great!
Later that night, a silhouette of a man came looming over the sleeping form of the birthday girl. He dropped a kiss in her forehead, tuck her in and silently offer a prayer for her happiness.
"Good night Meng, I'll see you tomorrow. Dream of me."
