Halos hindi ako nakatulog dahil sa sinabi ni Julian. If Keith was never married ano ang ibig sabihin nung nakita ko sa London? I saw it with my own eyes, he was marrying Darling. Parehas silang nasa altar. Even Krisandra was there. I sighed. Naguguluhan na talaga ako, but there's also a part inside me who's celebrating. Ang traydor kong puso na pinipigilan kong makaramdam ng tuwa. Ayaw ko nang umasa dahil baka masaktan ako ulit.
Lumabas ako ng cabin at naglakad kung saan. I closed my eyes as I felt the cold breeze of the wind. I can smell the salty air at naririnig ko ang bawat hampas ng alon. Ang sarap sa pakiramdam.
"Good morning po sir Keith." Mabilis kong naibuklat ang mga mata ko nang marinig ang pangalan niya. I looked around to search for him and I found him walking along the shore na may dalang dry bag. He didn't saw me. I looked at the clock, it's already 6 in the morning.
"Goodmorning manong. Ready na po ba?" He's smiling and talking to the man on the motorboat. Inilagay na niya ang mga gamit niya at sumakay.
"Wala po ba kayong kasama ngayon?" He smiled and shook his head. Pero parang may disappointment sa mga maya niya kahit nakangiti siya. He stared at the ocean and I don't know what got into me dahil bigla ko siyang tinawag.
"Keith!" Mabilis na lumingon siya sakin. He was a little surprised then he smiled. "Valid pa ba yung offer mo na diving?"
"Of course." His smile grew wider.
Sinamahan niya akong kumuha ng mga gamit pang diving at sabay na din kaming bumalik sa motorboat.
"Pumunta ako sa kwarto mo pero hindi ka sumasagot kaya akala ko ayaw mo talagang sumama." He said as we walk.
"Ah, naglakad lakad kasi ako." Tumango naman siya sa akin. We were both silent as the boath sailed. Nagkakatinginan kami paminsan minsan at nagngingitian.
Nag island hopping muna kami and then we went scuba diving. Kagaya ng ng sabi niya kagabi, I really enjoyed today. Namumula na din ang mukha niya dahil siguro sa init. This place is really beautiful. Sa isang island na din kami kumain kasama si Kuya Lito at ang anak niyang lalaki na si Marc. Sila ang nagsilbing bangkero at tourist guide namin. May dala na pala silang pagkain na pagsasaluhan namin.
We settled for a boodle fight at sobrang nakakatuwa silang kausap dahil ang dami nilang kwento na puros kalokohan. Isa din si Keith na maloko sa mga kwento habang ako taga tawa at taga kinig lang.
"Ay Kiko, maam Jaqie, mamaya po pala may bonfire party kami baka po gusto niyong sumama?" Tanong ni Kuya Lito, yung bangkero namin buong araw. "Birthday po kasi ng anak ko."
"Oo naman Kuya pupunta kami, di ba Keith?" I looked at him and he just nodded his head. "Anong oras po ba?"
"Seven pm po. Alam naman po ni Kiko kung saan." Tumango na ako sa kanila at nagpaalam na sila dahil daw maghahanda pa sila para mamaya. Nagsimula na kami ni Keith maglakad pabalik sa cabin. I don't know why but it felt really comfortable kahit wala ni isa sa amin ang nagsasalita. For the first time in three years, parang ngayon nalang ako ulit nakaramdam ng ganito. I feela live again.
"So, sunduin nalang kita mamaya?" Keith asked me as we approach the doorstep of my cabin. Tumango naman ako sa kanya. "See you." He kissed my cheek at naglakad na palayo.
