Donny
       "Oh. Donny meet your tita Mira and also her beautiful daughter, Cali."

"Oh. Donny meet your tita Mira and also her beautiful daughter, Cali."

"Oh. Donny meet your tita Mira and also her beautiful daughter, Cali."

"Oh. Donny meet your tita Mira and also her beautiful daughter, Cali."

Paulit ulit sa ulo ko. Geezzz. We're here at Shangrila hotel. While nung nasa car kami, iniisip ko parin yung lambot ng kamay ni Cali and her voice is so sweet at parang ang hinhin niya.

      "Oh, Donny. Parang tulala ka ata dyan, anak. Hahaha"

      "Oh. No, Mom. May iniisip lang ako" i said. Then i smiled. Para ma assure ko siya na may iniisip lang ako.

     "Ah. Si Cali ba yung iniisip mo, anak?" Moooommm!! Whyyy?

     "Mom, I think I need to rest. My head is aching. I'll go back na lng sa room ko." Sabi ko then i hugged her. Iwas topic. I didn't wait for her reply na.

Di kami sabay sa isang room nina Mom & Solana. Bukas pa kasi pupunta dito sina Dad, Benj, Hannah and ate Ella.

Timo sent you a message on iMessage

I opened Timo's message. Btw, Tims is one of my closest cousin.

Timo :

     Dude, how was the flight? Me and Rj will be there tomorrow morning!! Please inform tita Maricel. See you tomorrow!!

Oh!! They're coming pala. I'm so excited. Hannah, ate Ella and Benj will also flying tomorrow night. Mas nauna lang sina Rj at Timo.

I replied to Timo

     Yes, Tims!! See ya! And btw, Dad, Hannah, ate Ella and Benj will be here tomorrow night!! Sayang di sabay yung flight niyo. Sige tims!! See you tomorrow. I have to rest pa. Bye bye!!

I changed my clothes and took a nap.

"DONNY!! OPEN THE DOOR. AALIS TAYO BY 8:45!! MAY DINNER TAYONG PUPUNTAHAN." I rubbed my eyes and checked my phone. Oh. Its already 8:28!! At sobrang dami ng messages ni mommy sakin.

Donny. Please wake up. Kanina pa akong kumakatok sa door mo. Pls open it.

Donny we're preparing na.

Donny please reply!!

If you're not done by 8:35 bahala ka na dyan. May dinner tayo with the Chua Family.

When I read the "dinner tayo with the Chua Family" I immediately grab my towel and run to the shower. Binilisan ko na talaga. Tumakbo ako papunta sa kwarto nila Mommy. Good thing its 8:33. Sobrang bilis kong maligo.

        "MOM! FINALLY NAABUTAN KO PA KAYO." I said. I was also nervous kasi baka maiwan ako.

     "Kuya, why you're so matagal? I'm already hungry na and you're so mabagal kumilos" Galit ba sakin si Solana?

     "Yes, dons. Let's go?" Mom said. While we're walking papunta sa may car. I was carrying Solana while she's eating bread. Kawawa naman si Solana huhu.

     "Mom, where are we going?" I asked mom. Kasi parang 16 minutes na sa byahe.

     "We're heading to Busay, anak. It's kinda far sa hotel natin." Mom said. I just get my phone and checked my Twitter and Instagram.

      heyitscalira followed you on Twitter
      heyitscalira followed you on Instagram

    This is the girl who saw Solana and the girl I met kanina sa airport. I checked her Tweets first.

heyitscalira : on our way to Lantaw!! Can't wait to eat na🐷😛

They're heading to Lantaw, while we're heading to Busay. Akala ko sila pa yung kasama namin mag dinner.

    "Mom, where are we going? Is Busay is a restaurant?" I asked. Mom just laughed. Her laugh is so slow because Solana is sleeping.

    "No, Dons. We're heading to Lantaw, Busay. They said the place is nice daw." Mom said. Wait. What? Lantaw, Busay. Yess!! Maybe we'll have a dinner with Calira's family. I checked her instagram. Her feed is so nice. I followed her back sa Instagram and sa Twitter.

"Donny. Solana. Wake up. We're already here na." I opened my eyes. I really like the place. Naka tulog pala ako sa byahe. Di ko namalayan. Solana is still sleepy so i carried her nalang.

"I'm sorry, Mira. We're so late talaga. Ito kasing si Donny fell asleep kanina sa hotel and locked his room. I'm so sorry ha." Oh mom just make me as an excuse. Wow mom.

    "It's okay, Cel. Bitin yung kwentuhan natin kanina sa airport! Hahaha." She said. I was looking for Cali kasi wala sya satabi ni Tita. Pero di ko pinahalata na parang siya yung hinahanap ko.

    "Yes. Long time no see Mira. Where's Robert? Tagal na kami hindi nagkita sa Iron Man." Mom said. Btw, we're here because of the Iron Man.

   "Nasa loob siya. Kasama niya si Cali. So let's go inside na?"

We went inside. We are seated sa labas na halos kita mo yung magandang view ng Cebu. The beautiful lights and i saw a beautiful lady. Wearing a black dress and white converse sneakers.

"Hi ate Calira!! I missed you!!" Solana ran and hugged her. Uhm. Can I also do that? I hope so. She looked at me and smile. Damn. She's so gorgeous.

"So you met each other na kanina, so let's order na!!" Tita Mira said. I was sitting next to her but Solana insist na magkatabi lang sila ni Ate Cali niya.

Out of place ako the whole time. Mom was talking to tita Mira and tito Ronald. And Cali is busy talking and playing with Solana. And I'm here busy doing nothing.

*beep beep*

Timo sent you a message on iMessage

Timo :
Hey! Can I call you, bro?

So I excused my self to them kasi tatawagan ko si Timo.

Me: hey! Ano yun?

Timo : wala lang. 'We just missed you!' I heard Rj's voice.

Me : tsk. Ang baduy naman! Haha. I have to go Tims and Rj. See you tomorrow na lang. Bye!

I was on my way to the Cr then I saw Cali.

"Uhm, Cali right?" I asked. Alam ko aman yung name niya pero wala lang feel ko lang tanungin. Hahaha.

"Yes. I'm Cali. And you're Donny." She smiled. A lil bit awkward. Uhm how can I make my first move?
