Live in

We were waiting by the waiting area. The others guys were playing with their phones. Some are chatting, then some are still taking selfies.

"Love, wala ba talagang aircon ang airport nyo? Ang init dito!"

"Eh kasi nga, nandito ako."

He said while staring at me. I looked back at him with a serious face.

"I'm not playing around, Kenneth Earl. Seriously, bakit walang aircon dito?"

"I don't know either."

After a few minutes, our flights have been called. We all took our bags, making sure nothing was left, and lined up. We waited at the line for about 3 minutes, then a 1 minute walk to the airplane. Me and Kenneth, were seated at the wing-part of the airplane. Krystal and Joel were in the right-side, Shaira and Miggy were in-front of them, my kuya and Kim were seated behind us, then Tommy and Toni seated in-front of us.

We arrived at Manila by 5:00 AM. Now I can see, why Toni hates Manila. Compare it to the beauty of Palawan.

"Grabe na dito sa Maynila. Dati, gustong-gusto kong pumunta dito, pero ngayon, parang ayaw ko na."

"Sus. Were not staying here, nasa Laguna ang condo ko."

"Kala ko dito nakatira parents mo?"

"They do, but I don't. Remember, I have family issues with them, just like my kuya. Were 5 siblings in total, kuya Gale is the eldest, then ate Izy, kuya Jon, ate Hera, and then me. Kuya Gale has been set up to fixed marriage, and technically, he's happy with his life now. Ate Izy is married, not arranged, and she has 2 kids now, Elizabeth and Felisha. Kuya Jon, didn't like the idea of marriage, so he ran away. Ate Hera, was also setted up in fixed marriage, she had a baby, but ran away from her husband by alot of causes. And now, here I am, ran away from the family, unsure of what fixed Marriage might do to me."

We both stopped at our tracks, then he hugged me.

"I'm glad you ran away from arranged marriage. Kung hinde, hinde kita sana makikilala."

"And I'm glad I did."

We heard a "Beep" sound from a bus. We payed for the ride and hopped on the bus. It will take us 1 hour to get to Laguna. I'm glad that its still very early in the morning so we won't reach traffic. Is it weird to live in with your boyfriend whom you just met last week?
