To Tame the Heart

Page 19

I can feel the waves hitting my feet endlessly. As I sat at the shore and watch the sea. This is how I want to spend this day. While Caleb is still nowhere to be found.

I took off my  see-thru dress. I just want to enjoy this.

"Kahit kailan ay hindi ako magsasawang mainggit sa katawan mo Yv." Humahangang sabi ni Yana na siyang katabi ko ngayon.

The others are at the pool enjoying the view. Samantalang kami ay mas gusto namin dito sa dagat. Ilang hakbang lang naman papunta sa pool kung lalakarin namin dito. Tanaw din namin ang iba habang abala sa paglalaro ng volleyball. Ang iba naman ay nag iinuman na kahit na napakaaga pa.

"Silly. Sayo pa talaga nanggaling. I'm flattered." Sabi ko naman at bumungisngis.

Yana is a bit tanned and I'm so insecure by her skin. She also has this fucking oh-so-hot-body. With her two piece? I doubt if men wouldn't drool by that sight.

I wore my black backless one piece. and partner it with my see-thru dress but then I took it off so I'm only wearing my Backless one piece.

"You should be!" Aniya naman nito.

"It so good to feel this moment. This is ver much relaxing that I even want to stay like this until I fell asleep." I said as I lay down the shore.

"You're right. You forget about the things that constantly rocking your head." Sabay higa naman ni Yana.

Patuloy ang usapan namin kung gaano kaganda ang dagat na tinatanaw namin. Kung gaano kami nito napaparelax. Without minding the people around.

"What's score between you and Sir Caleb?" Biglaang usisa nito.

"Actually I don't know. He attached me so much with his presence without saying what are we into." Sinserong sagot ko.

"It's unfair for the both side." Komento pa nito. Kumunot naman ang noo ko.

"Why? Unfair sa akin pero sakanya? I doubt."

"Hindi naman kasi kailangan na sa pag amin ng nararamdaman ay dapat lalake ang mauna. Maybe he's just afraid to tell how he felt when your old love story does not end well." Paliwanag nito.

"Why include our past. It's just our past." Wala sa katinuang sagot ko. Ang hirap kaya marealtalk.

"Is that how you really felt then? Is that what your heart says? If so then I would give you an applaud!" She smiled mischievously and then she laugh eventually. I scowled at her after giving me a laugh.

"I really don't know. I think I will just go with the flow?"

"Until when?"

"Until I get my conscious back."

Nagtawanan kami sa di maipaliwanag na rason.

Kanya-kanya kaming pwesto ng nag anunsiyo si Ma'am Lucy na kakain nadaw kami. Wala naman kaming nagawa kundi sumang ayon nalang kaysa masermonan pa. Hanggang ngayon ay di ko parin makita si Caleb pati anino niya ay wala.

Tumabi sa akin si Adan dahil sa katabing upuan ko lang naman ang bakante pa. Nag-biro pa ang iba na lagot daw siya sa boss namin. Napasimangot naman ako at nairita. Tumawa lang silang lahat sa reaksiyon ko. Lahat kami ay di na nag abala pang mag palit dahil na rin sa gutom na rin kami.

Napuno ng tawanan ang restaurant dahil na rin siguro sa dami namin. Pero biglang huminto ang nasa harapan ko lahat sila ay nag iwas ng tingin at hindi ko mawari kung bakit.

"Mary..." Tawag sa kin ng taong nasa likod ko. Damn halos manginig ako sa sobrang seryoso ng tonong ginamit niya.

Tumayo agad ako ng makita ko ang reaksyon sa mukha niya. Feeling ko puputok na siya sa galit.

"Why? Kumain kana ba?" Kunwari'y tanong ko sa kanya.

Hindi siya sumagot at binigyan ako ng seryosong tingin pataas pababa.

"You ate with that man beside you? You didn't even chang your clothes?!" Sagot niya na halatang nagpipigil ng galit.

"Ano bang sinasabi mo?! Nakita  mo namang grupo kami doon sa lamesa diba? Naubusan siya ng upuan. And that seat beside me happened to be vacant that time!" Paliwanag ko naman.

"That man didn't know who he's messing with." Mariing sabi nito at wala man lang pake sa paliwanag ko.

"My god! Caleb!" Inis na sabi ko dito baka mamaya may iba na siyang pinaplano.

Higit-higit pa rin niya ang kamay ko habang tinatahak namin ang Villa Grand Hotel.

"Saanba tayo pupunta?!"

"My room."

"What?!"

Hindi pa rin niya sumasagot habang seryoso nitong binubuksan ang pintuan.

"You go inside alone!" Sigaw ko pa sakanya habang sinusubukan kong hatakin ang kamay ko mula sa kanya.

He didn't listen to me. He rummage his thing without loosing his grasp from mine. Iniabot niya ang puting damit niya sa akin.

"You. wear. that." Dahan dahan nitong utos sa akin.

"I have a shitload things why the hell I need to wear this when I have mine?!"

"I don't have a trust from your fashion sense. I'm sure it's tiny as hell." The fuck?!

He quirked his eyebrow while watching me wear his fucking shirt. Sa sobrang laki nito halos hanggang tuhod ko na 'to. Seriously?

"Better." Sagot nito at inalalayan akong labas ng kwarto.

Bumalik kami sa restaurant habang nakaakbay siya sa akin. Mulat na mulat ang mga kasama ko dahil suot ko lang naman ang t-shirt ni Caleb. T-shirt lang naman ni Caleb. Yeah T-shirt lang naman niya. Ugh

Umupo kami sa ibang lamesa na kung saan ay kaming dalawa lang ang magkaharap. Halos lumubog ako sa pinagkakaupuan ko dahil sa tingin na natatamo ko. Doomed.

"You shouldn't wear those kind of clothes when I'm not around"

"All women here wore the same thing. It's not a big deal."

"It is." Madiin nitong aniya

"Tsk" Iyan nalang ang nasabi ko at uminom ng juice dahil tapos naman na akng kumain.

Napaka talaga niya. Napakabossy. Ano ba sa tingin niya ang dapat na isuot ko? Jacket? Jogging pants while enjoying those waves? Ughh
Wala akong ginawa kundi panoorin siyang kumain. Masyado naman yatng mahinhin ang pagkain niya? Oh he's rich Yvonne what do you expect?

Pagkatapos niyang kumain ay pumunta kami kina ma'am lucy na busy sa panonood ng laro.
Yana, Giorgia and honey are made a team. It's boys vs girls. Habang ang hindi nakasali ay naglalaro ng beach ball. Sir Erwin's is staring at me intently. His gleamed reactions didn't escape from me.

Caleb on the otherhabd is silently watching beside me. Nothing's special but him.

"This is what I want in my entire life. Beside you." He said while looking at me like he adores me so much.

Beside you.

Halos lumipad ako sa sensasyong nararamdaman ko. You never failed to put these butterflies inside me baby.
