Chapter 08
**
He called me his Queen. Did I hear it right or am I just assuming and hallucinating? I want to be with him again, so, I could clearly hear what he has said to me. But after that scene he left me again.
His words are still flashing back. His words of wisdom. His flowery and sugar coating words. I can't help but to assume, I couldn't help but to desperately make him mine.
That was a joke. His words were full of lies. Walang totoo sa kaniyang mga pinagsabi sa akin. He is just guilty of something he has done with me.
This is our last in Siargao and we'll be coming home tomorrow at Afternoon. At the same time, my last two days in Surigao with my cousins are memorable and it's not just melodramatic vacation.
"Where have you been a while ago, Yries?" Isabelle asked me.
We'll do a bonfire before we leave Siargao to make it more unforgettable with them. I was the one who fired the woods and after that I sat down on the sand near Aristotle.
"Naglakad lakad lang..." I lied again.
Aristotle took a glance at me. Of course, alam niyang nagsisinungaling lang ako dahil nakita kong sinundan niya kami kanina.
"You walked for almost two hours, huh?" Ate Somerca teased me.
"Baka naman kasi pinuntahan niya 'yung lalaking nagpakilala sa kaniya kanina!" Isabelle laughed.
I raised my eyebrows. "That's not true! Ine-enjoy ko lang ang last day natin dito."
"Ilang days bad mood si Yries kaya siguro bumawi siya kanina." Marcus defended me.
I tilted my head in his direction and smiled. Thanks, God. I have a saviour here. He saved me from my tsismosang cousins.
"Sabagay. I thought, she was on a date." Isabelle giggled.
"I thought, too." Ate Somerca second demotion, "I didn't think of that."
We remained silent. Tinignan ko lang ng isa isa ang mga pinsan ko habang nakayakap na sa kanilang mga sarili. Si Ate Somerca na nakayakap sa sarili pero nakatingin sa bonfire. Si Isabelle na nakapatong ang ulo sa balikat ni Marcus habang nakatingin din sa apoy.
"You want a shoulder to lend on?" Aristotle asked me.
I slowly nodded my head. He placed my head on his shoulder. This cousin of mine is really sweet, kaya lang naman niya nagawa iyon ay para na rin sa akin. He already explained himself.
"Have you two seen each other today?" He asked me again.
I nodded my head again. "Yes... he only asks if I'm okay, he's not mad and... he wants me to be with his side..."
He gasped beside me. "Do you really love him?"
"Tinatanong pa ba 'yan?"
He nodded. "Then I'll support both of you. Huwag ka lang niyang sasaktan. You have me and Marcus who's willing to kill him for you."
"Sorry for being insensitive and immature a while back, Aristotle." malumanay kong sambit.
"I'm used to it, my dear cousin." he chuckled.
Ginulo niya ang buhok ko kaya nahampas ko ang kamay niya but he just laughed. Natawa lang din ako kaya 'yung tingin sa amin ni Marcus ay nakangiti.
"Is he still here?"
After an hour of being silent I've decided to ask Aristotle and Marcus. They are near my place and it's impossible that Ate Somerca and Isabelle could hear us.
