Christmas Eve
EVERY time she see the sun rise, it makes her smile.
5:00 pa lang ng umaga pero gising na sya. She couldn't sleep anymore, kaya napagpasyahan nyang tumambay sa veranda ng hotel na tinutuluyan nilang magpipinsan at magkakaibigan para panuorin ang pagsikat ng araw.
"Sadyang nakamamangha talaga ang ganda ng pagsikat ni haring Araw."
Pinagmasdan nya ang kumikinang na tubig-dagat dahil sa sikat ng araw na tumatama dito. It is a sight to be hold. It is a scenery to be treasured.
Coron, Palawan is her escape place every time she felt suffocated in everything that's happening in her chaotic life.
Pinikit nya ang mga mata, ninanamnam ang malamig na simoy ng hangin at ang malakas na paghampas ng alon sa dalampasigan.
It's 24th of December today.
We all decided to celebrate Christmas and New Year here in Coron and away from our families.
To have some fun. To have freedom. And to escape our own bitterness in life.
As she opened her eyes, her gaze caught something, rather someone.
A shadow of a man facing the sea.
He's six foot and 2 inches tall, with a broad shoulders and well clean cut hairstyle, wearing a black T-shirt and fitted jeans. Nakapamulsa ito habang nakatalikod sa kanya.
She don't know what came into her mind but she wants to see his face.
And her breath hitched when the man she's looking at, turned and looked directly at her. And she stilled when the man smiled.
"Namamalik-mata lang ba ako o talagang nakita ko syang ngumiti?" bulong nya sa sarili.
Hindi nya alam kung ngumiti nga ba talaga ito sa kanya dahil natatakpan ng sinag ng araw ang kabuuan ng mukha nito.
She turned around without looking back at him and went to bed again. In no time, sleep take her.
And surprisingly, for the first time, she dreamt of the man's smiling face while looking at her.
NAPABALIKWAS sya ng bangon dahil sa malakas na ingay na nanggagaling sa phone na nasa tabi nya.
"Letse. Natutulog pa yung tao eh!" naiinis na sinagot nya ang tawag habang humihikab.
"Problema mo?" asik nya.
"Bruha ka, bumangon ka na nga dyan. Tanghali na. Tulog-mantika ka talaga!" sabay hagalpak ng tawa ni JK.
"Tigilan mo ako JK, ha. Tatamaan ka talaga sakin."
Ngayon nya lang napansin na wala na pala syang kasama ni isa sa kwarto. Saan naman kaya nagsususuot ang mga 'yon?
"Nasaan kayo? At talagang hindi ninyo ako ginising bago kayo lumayas. Magaling!" sarkastikong sabi nya.
Tumawa ulit ito. Narinig pa nyang tumawa ang mga peste nyang pinsan sa background.
"Nandito kami sa may pool. Sumunod ka na lang dito pagkatapos mong kumain sa Restaurant ng lunch, okay?"
"Yeah.." tinatamad nyang tugon at naghanda na ng red two piece na susuotin nya dahil may balak syang magswimming.
"Don't forget to wear a two piece. Bye!" napaikot na lang ang mga mata nya ng patayin nito ang tawag.
Naligo agad sya at isinuot ang red two piece nya. Hindi naman sa pagmamayabang, sigurado syang marami nanaman ang maglalaway sa magandang hubog ng katawan nya.
