Chapter 29 One last dance
We stopped by the open parking lot of the hotel and beach resort. As I set foot out of the car. My hair was immediately blown away by the cool air. I peacefully inhaled the salt air coming from the sea and I can't help not to feel excited of the thought of stepping in the water.
Pagpasok namin sa loob ay agad kaming binati ng mga hotel assistants at mga receptionists. In and out of this hotel are the guest for this beach wedding. Some of them are already wearing their floral and flowy dresses and are heading to the sea side to refresh at may mga papasok pa lamang kagaya namin.
Tama nga ang sinabi ni Mom kanina. This hotel is the best front liner of this city. Kompleto ito sa amenities. From the pool, restaurants, different themed gardens and they even offer tours from the other island.
"Please follow me" narinig kong sinabi ng babaeng nakauniporme.
Sumunod kami sa kanya. We were on the elevator when she started talking about the whole place and the wedding that is about to happen. She told us that there are reserved rooms for all the visitors para may kwarto silang pagpapalitan ng kanilang damit.
At exactly 4 pm which is an hour after now, the wedding will start. Nang maihatid niya kami sa harap ng aming kwarto ay iniabot niya sa amin ang card ng aming kwarto at nagpaalam.
Napatingin ako kay Dad ng tumikhim siya.
"Nakalimutan kong sabihin na pupunta din pala ngayon sa wedding na ito sina Xander at Minerva. It was all thanks to our kumpare na naalala niya pa kami ng tatay ni Xander at naimbitahan niya kami dito" hindi ko masyadong narinig ang iba niyang sinabi dahil mas nangibabaw sa akin ang una niyang sinabi na pupunta din si Xander ngayon dito.
The fact that I will see him again after last night excites me. Hindi ko maiwasan isipin na kapag ba nagkita kami iiwasan niya parin ako? O gaya kahapon, he will pretend we were fine.
Binigyan nila ako ng oras para magligo at mag-ayos ng sarili ko. While they said they have to meet his kumpare and the other guest.
"Susunduin ka namin dito mamaya okay?" Mom assured me. Tumango ako at pumasok sa unit na binigay sa amin.
I was surprised to see that the room given to us isn't just the simple one. Halatang nasa medium budget room ito. Nilapag ko ang bag ko at paper bag sa kama saka binagsak ang sarili ko sa malambot nitong kama.
I sigh in relaxed when I felt the comfortable bed massaging my back. Napapikit ako sandali.
Bigla kong naalala si Xander. Nandito na ba sila? Kaya ba hindi ko sila nakita kaninang umaga sa bahay nila. Why does it seems like even if I try to stay away from him, we still meet somewhere?
Pinigilan ko ang sarili ko sa pag-iisip tungkol sa kanya dahil alam kong mas malulungkot lang ako kapag ginawa ko ito.
Bumangon ako mula sa kama at naglakad papunta sa terrace para tignan ang malawak na tanawin sa harapan ng hotel na ito.
Tinabi ko ang puting kurtina at pinagmasdan ng tingin ang kulay asul na dagat. Huminga ako ng malalim ng umihip ang hangin. It sawyed my hair from every directions. Mula sa kinatatayuan ko ay tanaw ko sa ibaba ang mga hats na nasa tabi ng infinity pool. Tourist are scattered everywhere and the ambiance, the whole sea side resembles some foreign paradise like Maldives. Tama nga ang sinabi ng receptionist kanina.
