Chapter 21: Hero

It's been a week since that happened. Umiiyak ba ko? No. I wouldn't waste my time for some worthless jerk. He's not worth my tears. Im better off without him.

Di ko siya iniiwasan or what. And besides, Im here in Singapore. We had a family vacation. I took this opportunity to relax. And to unwind.

"Hey Angela! Come here! We're going to take a family picture!" Here she goes again. Napairap nalang ako. Picture nanaman. Ugh. Well, yeah. She's my mom. Nosy, isnt she?

"Yeah right."

"Ikaw talaga! Para kang pinaglihi sa sama ng loob! Look at your brother! Laging nakasmile. Babae ka pa man din."

"Tss."

"Okay! 1-2-3! Smile!" Sigaw nung driver namin. Ngumiti naman ako. Family picture daw eh. Pagbigyan. Sige lang.

Tuwang tuwa naman yung nanay ko nung makita yung picture. Picture perfect daw kame. Ang ganda daw ng lahi namin. Sinasabi pa eh napaka obvious naman. Nakakarindi kaya. Alam ko na un eh. Sasabihin pa. Tss. Tapos andun nanaman ung comparison! Langya! Nakakabadtrip! Edi kuya ko na! Siya na! Siya na palangiti! Ako na pinagsukluban ng langit at lupa! Palibhasa di nyo naman alam na broken hearted ako.

Wait. What? Sino broken hearted? Ako? Joke lang yun. Tawa kayo. Haha. Ayan inumpisahan ko na ung tawa ah? Tawa din kayo para masaya--

"Aw."

"Ouch."

"Sorry, Miss. I didn't mean to--"

"Caden?"

"Ah. Anj! Didnt expect to see you here!" Nakangiting bati ni Caden

"Yeah. Me too." Nginitian ko din siya. Nakakahawa kasi yung good vibes na nagraradiate galing sa smile nya. And finally, may kakilala ako bukod sa family ko.

"So, sinong kasama mo? Are you with Josh?"

"Ah- No. Im with my family actually."

"Talaga? Where are they? Can I meet them?"

"Actually, Im kind of.. Lost."

"Ow. If you want, Pwede kitang samahan?"

Di na ko nagisip pa. Um-oo ako. Im here to have fun and not to isolate myself from the world and think of that jerk.

"Sure. San ba magandang pumunta?"

"Hmmm.." Medyo nagisip siya. "Universal studios would be great. G?"

I nodded with a smile on my face. Mageenjoy ako dito. Ramdam ko. With a person like Caden? In my opinion, walang boring na lugar pag kasama siya. Ang daldal nya kaya. He's even more talkative than my point of view. Haha!

We took a cab. Caden paid for it. Yeah, Im rich pero siya yung lalaki. He should pay, okay? Saka pandagdag shopping na din un hahaha.

We arrived shortly. You know what, guys? It is amazing. Nakakaamaze yung mga standies and stuff. They seem so real. I really am having so much fun. Lalo na kasama ko pa si Caden. Ang dami dami dami nyang kwento. Like he has a stock room in his brain full of ridiculous stories. Hahaha.

"Anj, gusto mo ba ng ice cream? I know a place!"

"Sure. Tiwala naman ako sa taste mo eh hahaha"

"Tara. Dun yun banda eh."

"Sige."

Hinatak ako ni Caden papunta sa direction na yun. Pumasok kami sa ice cream parlor. And the place is really cute! Pastel ung color ng paligid! Parang pambata sa loob! Tapos ang aliwalas ng paligid. Ang ganda ng ambiance ng lugar.

"Anong flavor gusto mo?" Tanong sakin ni Caden.

"I'll go with strawberry."

"Sige. Wait."

Umorder siya. Then umupo kami in one of those low tables with fluffy pillows as chairs. Ang cute cute talaga. Our order arrived shortly. And I started digging in!

"So? How was it?" Concentrated na tanong sakin ni Caden.

"Perfect." I said with a smile. It really is! Hindi kasi siya sobrang tamis and malalasahan mo talaga ung strawberry! Nagbeblend ung cream sa strawberry tapos di siya nakakaumay.

"Im glad you like it. Here, tikman mo tong chocolate."

Sinubuan nya ko. And wow! Ang sarap talaga! Lasang lasa din yung chocolate! At the same time, hindi sobrang tamis! Pano nila nagagawang iblend ng ganun un? Sobrang nagbeblend ung flavors!

"Masarap?"

"Yes--"

"Ahhhh!!!!"

People just started screaming! Hinanap ko kung ano yun, but Caden embraced me as we fall on the ground. I heard gunshots then the sound of a glass breaking. Sht. What the hell is happening?!

Major plot twist :P
