HUWAD (EDITING)

Kabanata 8

Kinabukasan ay maaga syang nag report sa opisina at sinabi sa head  nila ang tungkol sa Yacht party na gaganapin dalawang gabi mula ngayon. He told her to join the party and keep the team updated. The team means Rigo, Mac, and Dana. They will be on standby awaiting her distress call, kung ma gigipit sya. Their head told her to get the itinerary para kung sakaling magka aberya alam ng mga ito kung saan sya hahanapin, para na rin maka pag dispatch ng search and rescue kung sakali.

Dana arrived just before she left and to their surprise she was also invited and she already had the itinerary. According to Dana, the yacht or yachts will set sail from Manila Bay at tutulak pa Quezon Province at mananatiling naka anchor malapit sa isang sikat na island resort sa lugar. Other yachts  will come from other side of the country and will actually meet them there. So hindi lang basta -basta ang party kundi malawakan. 

Both of them was commanded to join the party, habang sina Rigo at Mac naman ay na atasang mag bayahe by land para masundan silang dalawa at para na rin maki pag ugnayan sa local police and coast guard na malapit sa area. Kapwa hindi maganda ang kutob nila ni Dana sa nasabing party kaya nang maka uwi sya sa bahay ay tinawagan nya ang ama para sabihin dito ang tungkol sa misyon nya.

Nag alala ang tatay nya pero she assured her na kaya nya ang sarili. She spent the next twenty four hours planning and packing. And when she realized she doesn't have swimwear, kinailangan nyang lumabas at bumili, natural sa dagat ang party kahit sabihin pang naka sakay sa yate, kakailanganin nya ng panlangoy. Bumili sya ng dalawang pares  isang two piece na kulay dilaw at isang one piece na kulay itim. She's not used of wearing swim wears pero kung para sa success ng mission then she will wear them with no complaints.

Kinagabihan bago sya umalis ay tumawag muna ulit sya sa ama, bago sya nag bihis. Nag short -shirts na lang sya at isinoot ang swim wear sa loob saka pinatungan ng puting polo sa ibabaw and then to make her look like she's really attending a party ay nag make up rin sya. Flat shoes na lang ang isinoot nya sa mga paa. 

Ilang sandali pa at sakay ma sya ng taxi na dumating kung saan nag hi hintay ang yate. She showed her ticket and paid in cash, bago sya pinayagang pumila pa akyat. She noticed that they were collecting the phones and cameras kaya naisipan nyang tawagan muna si Dana. She wasn't answering so marahil naka sakay na ito. She decided to delete all the numbers na may kinalaman sa trabaho nya, including messages saka muling ipinamulsa ang cellphone nya.

When it was her turn, hindi na sya nag dalawang isip na ilagay ang cellphone nya sa tray kung nasaan ang Ibang na kolekta. May password ang kanya kaya okay lang. Tuloy -tuloy sya sa taas. There were no cabins assigned kasi hindi naman ka lakihan ang yate para ma accommodate at mabigyan ng kanya-kanyang kwarto ang bawat isa. Instead guests were seated on lounging chairs or on the deck floor.

Di nag tagal at umusad na ang yate.

"Hi Celina, I'm glad you made it." Naka ngiting bati ni Jetro na biglang sumulpot mula sa kung saan.

"Hi Jetro, I'm glad I made it too." Sagot nya.

"You want some drinks?" Tanong nito ng mapunang wala syang iniinom.

"Maybe later, I still have to get used to the movement, mahirap ng mauna kong mag suka bago ma lasing." She said smiling.

"Ikaw ma lalasing eh, you seem to drink a lot the last time I saw you, yong bote pa nga Ang hawak mo." Komento nitong bahagyang na ngunot noo.

"I actually thought that you wouldn't make it tonight dahil sa hang -over." Dagdag nito.

"Oh well, may konti pa, sa I need to detox muna, habang hindi pa tayo naka ka rating sa pupuntahan natin." Mabilis na sagot nya.
