Queen Maldita meets King Cassanova

Chapter 30

The morning was so peaceful. Ganito ba talaga ang buhay kapag nasa probinsya ka? Tapos nasa isla ka pa na wala pa masyadong dumadayo. I mean, may mga tao naman marami... but this is so far from civilization kaya naman ang ganda ng paligid. Walang nakatira, just a pure island for vacation and swimming purposes. Ung ako lang ang masusunod, dito ako titira.

Biro lang. Di ko kaya.

By the way, akala ko ba kahapon dating nila ate dito? Bakit wala sila? Siguro hindi natuloy... Haaaayyyyy

Tumayo na ako saka chineck ang cellphone, pero napako ang mga mata ko sa sticky note na nakadikit sa lampshade. It's from Brent. This man.

"Please take care of yourself while I'm not around. I'll be back in afternoon. I love you."

The last line made me smile. Hindi ko pa siya sinasagot... matagal na akong nakamove on kay Jay kung yun ang itatanong niyo. Gusto ko lang humanap ng tamang timing, lugar ay scenario. Hahahahah darating din tayo dyan.

Pero saan naman kay pumunta yun lalaking yun?

Before I went out of my room, nakapag ayos na ako ng sarili but I only wear my bra and shorts. I don't want to wear bikini. Not in the mood.

"Good morning, anak." Bati sakin ni Nanay Belen.

"Good morning po. What's for breakfast po nanay?" I asked her habang nagtitimpla ako ng gatas.

"Ay ito anak, pinagluto ka muna ni Brent ng agahan mo. Kumain ka na muna bago ka mamasyal sa labas at mag-lilinis pa ako sa ibang kwarto." Paalam ni Nanay Belen saka umalis.

"Sige po salamat." Napangiti ako habang nakatitig sa mesa. Ham, fried rice at hotdog. Di masyado cholesterol ah. But this simple gesture from melts my heart. God, I'm in love?

Pagkatapos kong kumain ay lumabas na muna ako. Ang ganda talaga ng dagat. Nabanggit ko na ba? Wala masyadong mababaw na part sa isla na to since napapaligiran talaga siya ng malawak na karagatan. As in gitna.

Two meters from the shore blue na yung dagat. Which means, sobrang lalim and that what makes this island beautiful. Challenging. Sa may bandang likod naman ng isla may surfing area. Malalaki ang alon dito, if you are familiar with Siargao, it's as big as those.

Hindi ka maboboring since may club, where you cam party and drown yourself in alcohol, it is a ideal enjoyment island.

"Hey."

"Oh hi, Crislyn." Nakabikini lang siya. Mapula na ang kanyang balat.

"Alone?" She asked.

"Sort of. But you came." I smiled at her and she do the same. "Alone too?"

"Nope. I have my friends right there." She pointed to the area just meters away from us. "But I saw you sitting alone so I came."

"What a thoughtful of you. Thank you." I smiled at her. She's nice. And I think we can get along. I guess.

"So, where's your boyfriend and why are you alone?"

"He's not my boyfriend. And wala pa akon kakilala dito. You know, too new here."

"I see." She stood up and offer a hand to me. "Punta tayo don. Ipapakilala kita. Don't worry, they're nice."

"Okay." Tinanggap ko ang kamay niya. Patakbo niya akong hinila palapit sa mga kaibigan niya. And oh--- I know they're a bunch of wealthy people.

Nang marating naman ang cottage nila, all of them looked at me and smiled.

"Oh Cris, found new friend?" Kaibigan niyang lakaki. He's handsome. Maouti ang balat and he has a nice English accent. What can you expect to rich people anyway?
