Chapter 12: So It's Official

ENZO

Kaasar tander na ‘yun! Pinapunta ba naman ako sa resort  KO ngayon? Oo, ako ang may-ari nito, ako nagplano! Lahat lahat! Pero ang layo nitong lugar, nakakapagod mag-drive! Marami pa akong aasikasuhin sa opisna. Sige nalang considered na lang din itong bakasyon muna, pero kahit anong bakasyon man ang sabihin ko it will only lead to one thing… WORK. Parte na ‘yata ng sistema ko ang magtrabaho simula ng umapak ako sa mundo. Pumunta muna  ako sa office of the manager, kinamusta ko ang sales lately, so far so good.  Nalaman ko rin may team building na magaganap so pinareserve ang kalahati ng resort.

I decided to take a stroll, I’ve been having a very hard time, trying to figure things out lately. I’ve restraint myself to see her(feels like I’m on a diet),  and why am I even so bothered about her? Like have she gone home? Is she ok? Things like that, which I don’t quite understand. All this questions leads to another questions.

While I am looking around the place, I saw Thia? I can feel my heart  jolts. No, it can’t be. But my heart instantly, tighted as if someone is gripping it. Right now, God forgive me—I  swear I want to punch that bastard’s face. I headed  towards their direction, to intentionally disturb their conversation.  I can see her eyes crinkle  as she smile, which make me melt. Aish, I sounded like a gay. I wonder when will she give me that kind of smile? She’s been giving me a fake smile, and it hurt(which is again I don’t know why).

“Oh, you’ll see.”

“Eh Ke---“ I cape her around her shoulder, but wrong move! Right away she pull my wrist, twisted it around my back and DAMN IT HURTS. I forgot she’s an amazon, I grimace because of the pain, she sense that I am hurting so she losen her grip.

THIA

“A---aray! FERRER.” At once I release his wrist from my grip. Great! It’s Ramos! I could not restraint myself, kaya binatukan ko nah! Humarap siya sa akin.

“STRIKE TWO KA NA FERRER HAH!!” I did not mind his words, I took a glance behind him, to check if Ken is still there. But no Ken to be found! Thank you very much for the help Ken.

“Anong ginagawa mo dito?”

“Ikaw lang ba ang pwedeng pumunta dito?”

“Sinabi ko ba?”

“Nagtatanong pa nga ako diba?” Ayy Leche, binabara niya ko!

“Oo, nagtatanong ka rin ngayon. Alis nako!”

Sa dinami-dami ba naman ng lugar dito  sa Luzon dito talaga? Nakng!! Aish! Anyway, bumalik na ako sa room namin ni Stephanie,pagdating ko dun. Tulog pa siya, kaya naman ay naiggit ako at ako’y natulog na rin.

It’s around 6 in the evening when I woke up, wala na si Stephanie sa kabilang kama. Naghilamos na ako to freshen up dahil maya-maya magsisimula na ang activity which is ang ‘recollection’ daw, napatawa nalang ako sa ideya na ‘yun.

Pumunta na ako sa function hall, na puro kandila lang ang nagsisilbing liwag sa dilim. All my colleages are forming a circle, and I think, I’m late again. I just sneak in and inserted myself in side the circle, easy goes. I did not listen to the instructor; instead I look each of the faces that are undistinguishable because of the dim lighting. I am being childish now, geez.

“You’ll give each of this to the person you wanted to say sorry or thank you. The cruxifix significe forgiveness/ saying sorry and this white candle significe ‘thankfulness’. You can get both of these and give it to a person whom do you want to say both “thank you and sorry.”

Isa-isa silang pumunta sa gitna, some waiting for their turn. Ako naman naaaliw lang ako na makita sila na nag-iiyakan, wala talaga akong participation. Naaninag ko ang dalawang tao na sabay nakakuha ng kandila. Anak sila ng meant to be! It’s Ken and Stephanie ofcourse! Para akong naiihi dahil sa supreme ‘kilig’.  Number one fan ako ng loveteam nila, ako kaya ang nagtatag ng samahan nila.
