March 28, 2018:

It was after dinner when you called me on FaceTime. We were out on a short walk back to the hotel while I took pictures of my family, other tourists, locals, sights, and everything else that interests me. 

"Hi, Love." I answered the call without looking at my phone first as I took another picture.

"Aaah! Susmaryosep!" I heard you scream which made me put down my camera and turn to my phone. "Nasaan ka ba, Love?"

"Nasa daan." I gasped when I saw your half-naked body sunk to the waist in a bubbly hot tub. "Bakit? What were you doing?"

You looked away while your cheeks and ears turned beet red. "Ha? W-walaaaa..."

"Anong wala? Mukha kang guilting-guilty." I chuckled.  

"Huy! Hindi ah." You giggled nervously as you sunk deeper into the water, showing only your face from the chin up with your arm which held your phone extended upwards. 

"Oh my god! Itago mo yang jowa mo. So scandalous!" Coleen gasped as she held a hand over her eyes, looking in between her fingers. 

I pushed her away with my shoulder and glared. "Umalis ka nga dito! Wag kang sisilip. Tusukin ko yang mata mo." I warned as I held my phone to my chest to hide you. 

We just arrived at the hotel and stepped into the lobby where my sister pouted away to the elevator, following our parents, Matti and other siblings. I lifted my phone just enough to peek at my screen and whisper for you to wait til I get to our room then ran towards my family.

"Finally." I sighed as I sat on a chair in the corner of our room. Luckily, everyone was busy looking at the pictures and videos taken during the day's tour. 

"Hi." You smiled at me when I peeled my phone away from my shirt and looked at you. "Ang bango mo." You grinned and I giggled. 

"Paano? Naamoy mo sa phone?" I laughed.

"Di ko kailangan maamoy. Sigurado akong mabango. Memorized ko ang amoy ng Menggay ko." You smiled as you sat up, revealing your toned chest, shoulders and arm. 

My eyes widened and I swallowed a sudden lump that formed to clear my throat. I wasn't sure if it was my body's reaction to the sight of muscles or if it was the sickness that I felt coming since this morning.

A cough cracked from my chest and throat beyond my control and I covered my mouth then looked away from my phone until it passed. You were frowning when I set my eyes on my screen again. 

"May sakit ang baby ko?" You asked with a pout.

I smiled and shrugged. "I'm not sure. My throat feels scratchy. Dine-deadma ko na nga kasi ayokong masira ang bakasyon." 

"Uy... Bakit naman? May gamot ka diyan?"

"Water lang to. I'll be fine." I smiled. "I'm not sure why it happened nga eh. Sabi ni Nanay baka I have pollen allergy, ngayon lang kasi kami nag-Japan ng Spring tapos the sneezing and coughing started when we went to Tsurumi Kyoruchi Park this morning."

"Naku! Sabi ko na nga ba dapat dito ka na lang sumama sa akin. Di ka sana tinamaan ng allergies, wala ka sanang sakit, sabay sana tayong mag-swimming, kumain, matulog, mag-jetski, mag-boating, mag-parasailing, mag-zipline, mag-diving, mag-bubble bath. Hindi sana kita nami-miss." You pouted.

"Bubble bath ba yan? Akala ko foam party sa dami ng bula." I giggled.

"Sorry na nabuhos yung sabon eh. Pero hindi yun ang point. Ang point ko..." Your eyebrows were furrowed as you ranted and you were beginning to get upset but I knew exactly what you said, I just poked fun to set the mood lighter.

"I miss you too." I said and you stopped talking then looked at me. "So much."

Your lips puckered and you stared at me with puppy eyes. If I could I would have flown to you at that very moment. "Miss na miss na miss kita, Menggay ko. Everywhere I look sa lugar na to, ikaw ang naiisip ko. Uwi ka na. Dito ka na lang." You said in your softest and sweetest voice and I swear my heart just melted. 

"Three day, my love. Three days uwian na. Magkasama na tayo ulit." I smiled. "Tsaka pwede pa din naman tayong mag-sabay sa mga bagay bagay kahit nandiyan ka at nandito ako. May FaceTime naman  na. Parang di sanay to." I chuckled. 

"Oo nga ano. Pwedeng sabay kumain, maglakad, mamasyal papakita ko yung view dito tapos papakita mo yung mga nakikita mo din diyan." You grinned.

"Tama! Madami pa. Pwedeng sabay tumambay, tumawa, manood, mag-soundtrip, matulog at..." I smirked and whispered. "Maligo."

"Uy!" You licked your lips and wiggled your eyebrows as you scratched your nose. "Interesado ako diyan sa huli. Paano nga ba yan?" You smirked.

"Well... Kakadating lang namin sa hotel tapos ka na mag-bubble bath di ba?"

"Tapos na! Tapos na!" 

I stood up and walked to the bathroom door, glancing to check if my family were still too preoccupied to notice my movement. They were. 

"Magsha-shower na ako. Ikaw?" I asked as I turned the doorknob.

"Ako din. Ako din!" You answered as you quickly got up and grabbed the towel next to you. I couldn't say I wasn't disappointed to see that you were wearing your boardshorts. "Sabay tayo!"

"Sabay saan?" I almost screamed and threw my phone when I suddenly heard the voice ask over my shoulder. 

"Tay!" I quickly turned to face him and hid my phone behind me. 

"Si RJ ba yan? Kumusta naman sila?" He asked, his expression unreadable.

"O-okay naman daw po, Tay." I stuttered.

"Ano yung sabay? Saan kayo magsasabay?" 

"Ma-matulog po. Sabay po kaming matutulog. Yun po. Opo. Yun po." I said.

"Ah okay. Sige. Pero, nak, dun ang kama. Banyo yang pupuntahan mo." He squinted.

"A-ano po. Magsha-shower muna po ako at magbibihis." 

"Ah ganoon ba? Iwan mo na yung telepono mo dito. Baka mabasa. Mamaya na kayo magtawagan ulit. Di naman mawawala yang cellphone." He told me then over my shoulder he said. "Di ba, Tisoy? Magdamit ka na, iho. Baka pulmunyahin ka diyan."
