Platonic Love

Chapter 3

Scrap book

Someone's calling me on my cellphone and when I saw who, it's Mom.

"Yes Mom?"

"Hi sweetie. Happy Birthday. Susunod nalang kami ng daddy mo tomorrow ha? May kailangan lang kaming asikasuhin dun sa bago nating business"

"Just promise me you and dad will be there."

"I promised sweetie. Pinapasabi ng dad mo na babawi siya sayo tom"

"Ok mom. See you there. I love you"

"I love you too sweetie."

After that call, I saw my inbox was flood with greetings especially from my beloved bestfriends.

Sa sobrang busy ko sa pagasikaso sa RUSH party, di ko na namalayan na its the day.

I called Jin to tell Kean, Tris, Jacob and Luigi na we'll just meet up at the airport to catch our flight.

"Happy Birthday sis!" ate Maggie said.

"Thank you ate"

"No worries. I'll just give you my gift later okay?"

"Sure"

****

"Are we complete?"

"yess!!!"

Ang mga kasama ko upang i-celebrate ang birthday ko ay si Ate Maggie, Luigi, Tris, Kean, Jacob, Manang Vilma at Manong Roger. Susunod sila Mom at Dad tom :)

The pilot said that we already arrived.

"Sana may mga chix dun sa beach" Jacob said.

Binatukan naman siya ni Luigi.

"Baliw. Nandon tayo para mag celebrate ng birthday ni Ingrid hindi para maghanap ng kalandian mo."

Natahimik naman si Jacob. Hahaha puro pambababae kasi laman ng utak. Eh nandiyan naman si Tris na halatang may pagtingin sa kanya.

Andito na kami sa Airport ng Masbate. So kailangan na naming sumakay ng bangka which is pagmamay ari namin and within an hour, mararating na namin ung beach resort ng mga Vale.

Nung pagkadating namin sa resort, agad kaming pinagsilbihan ng empleyado nila tita. And when I saw my Tito I asked him kung ayos na ung lahat ng kailangan para mamaya."

"Okay guys matulog muna kayo tutal galing pa tayo sa biyahe. The party will start at 6pm pa naman. I'll send you on your respective rooms."

After I sent them to their room I went on the sea side. It was so relaxing and refreshing when I saw this breathtaking place. It was a sanctuary indeed.

****

"Wala sila mommy and daddy so we will have some  liquors!!" ate said.

"Yeheeeeyyyyy!"

Sa sea side gaganapin ang birthday ko at naisipan nila ate na magkaron ng alak tutal bukas pa naman dating nila mommy so sulitin na daw habang wala sila lol.
And then the giving of gifts started. Bukas ko nalang bubuksan ung mga regalo. And after the giving of gifts, we began to drink.

"Cheers to our birthday girl!"

"Cheers!!!!"

The party goes on and on and some of us are already drunk. Especially Kean and Jin. Mga basagulero talaga ung dalawang yon ts. Ang hirap kapag may kasama kang mga lasing. Kung ano-ano na ang pinagsasabi. Tulad ng sinabi ni Jin na mayroon daw siyang lihim na pag tingin kay tris. At kung nakita niyo ung mukha ni Kean parang pinagsakluban ng langit at lupa Hahaha. Si Tris naman, namula ung pisngi.

Kami namin nila tris at Luigi inalalayan ung dalawang lasing at pagkatapos, pumunta na kami sa sarili naming mga kwarto para magpahinga tutal madaling araw na kami natapos.

Flashback

Maggie's POV

After I told everyone that we'll have a liquor, someone called me.

"Yea?"

"Mags nasaan ka?" Rachelle asked. My childhood friend.

"MBT." Inshort of Masbate. Tinatamad ako magsalita eh

"Psh. Come back here in Manila as soon as possible. Something unexpectedly happend"

"What is it?"

"Bumalik na siya."

After she said that, I curse a lot.

Ingrid's POV

Naglakad lakad ako sa tabing dagat para makalanghap ng sariwang hangin. After I check them on their rooms kasi kanina, mga tulog pa.

Someone called my name and then i saw Luigi standing at my back.

"It's you pala Luigi." sabay abot niya saakin ng isang kahon.

"Belated happy birthday Ingrid. Di kasi ako nakahanap ng tiyempo kahapon na ibigay sayo 'to kaya sorry."

"Its okay." and then I smiled.

I opened the box ang when I saw what it is, I began to cry. It was our pictures back then until now. Beside the pictures, theres a summary in it. Inshort, a scrapbook. A book full of memories that i'll treasure.

"Wow" I said with teary eyed.

"Do you like it?"

"Sobra!!! Words can't truly express what I feel right now. So, thank you Luigi! You made me happy. No, very happy!!"

"You're welcome" 

A/N: Who's that someone? I'll give you a clue. He is someone related to past. Ano nga ba ang nangyari sa nakaraan? Handa na ba sila makita ulit ito o hindi? Ano ang mga pagbabago na mangyayari ngayo'y siya'y bumalik?
