"Now? Like now now?" I hysterically asked William over the phone.
He just invited me to go on a short trip to Boracay. He really wanted to go there and see the white sand and yknow, every foreigner who visits the Philippines wants to go to Boracay.
"Silly, well not now now. Maybe tomorrow? Two nights and three days? I am really intrigued with that place," he said.
"W-well I've got nothing to do til' Friday," I thought about it. Wednesday bukas at may practice ako ng Friday ng gabi.
"Don't worry we can come back on Thursday so you can come home for your commitment," he bargained.
"Are you sure?" Wouldn't it be a little rush? We can go back Friday morning if you want," I said.
"Well, I've got a very good travel agent beside me right now. She found a hotel and already arranging the transportation. We're just waiting for your yes," he said proudly.
"If you've already thought about it then go. And besides I have nothing on my calendar this next days," I said.
"Don't worry about anything, I've packed everything that we will need. You just need to bring yourself and your son," Will said.
"Thanks, so what time tomorrow?" I asked.
"Uhhh the travel agent suggested we take the earliest flight. There's a bit more land and water travel from the airport," Will said.
"Okay okay," I said.
"I'll pick you up there. They say your place is near the airport," William suggested.
"Yep, I'll see you tomorrow?" I replied.
"I'll see you tomorrow Tara,"
Should I call Thomas and tell him?? Errr Why would I do that?? Kita niyo nabubuang ako, kinakausap ko na sarili ko, sinasagot ko pa. But if I call him to tonight, I know for sure that he will cancel everything, i.e. his therapy session again, and follow us there. So I'm not telling him, then.

"Anong ginagawa niyo diyan?!?!?!?" Thomas exclaimed on the other line of the phone.
So today is Wednesday and Tyrone, William and I are in this beautiful island of Boracay. We arrived like 2 hours ago. I just finished settling down in the hotel room reserved for myself and my son when Thomas called and asked about our whereabouts.
"Magrerelax siyempre," I answered shortly.
"Bakit hindi ako na-inform?" Thomas whined like a baby.
"Eh kasi diba may appointment ka kay Yanna today. Hindi na kita inistorbo," I said. "Tsaka hindi naman ako nag-isip nito. Naki-join in lang kami ni Ty sa bakasyon ni William."
"Ano?! Kasama niyo si Briton?!" Thomas asked forcefully.
"Oo. Gusto raw magtour dito," I answered.
"Kaya pala ayaw akong isama," he murmured. Narinig ko naman.
"At anong ibig mong sabihin??" I asked back.
"Wala, kailan kayo uuwi?"
"Friday morning," I said.
"Ha?? Bakit ang tagal niyo diyan??" He almost shouted.
