The freshness outside embraces me, the car he borrowed is an open-roof revealing the fresh air and green grasses around on the way to downtown. I'm crossing my arms as I stared at the road, it will take 30 to 40 minutes before we arrive.
Tanging makina ng sasakyan at ihip ng hangin lamang ang naririnig ko, no one wants to talk between us, pareho kaming nagpapanggap na nag-iisa. It's about 20 minutes travelling when my phone started ringing, may kakaunti ng cignal ang parte kung nasaan kami.
"Where are you?" It's Tuecer, bahagya akong sumulyap sa nagd-drive, parang wala lamang sakanya kaya't umarte nalang akong hindi rin sya nag-eexist.
"Heading to downtown of Playa Fuego, bakit?" Sinandal ko ang ulo sa upuan at walang ganang tinignan ang mga palayan.
"I think im going on a vacation there."
Agad kong tinanggal ang suot na sunglasses sa gulat, "What!?
Why?When? Who?" napatikom ako sa bibig nang pasadahan ako ng tingin ni Chaucer, kinalma ko ang sarili bago binalingan muli ang tawag.
"Calm down, lets extend your stay there. Playa Fuego has a lot of beaches and I want to relax." Napakagat ako saaking ibabang labi, we both have work, what's this guy thinking. "A few days will do, Zen. Anyway, you can't stop me. I'll go there once I finish my flights."
"No, we both have responsibilites for work. Stop being stubborn and cancel whatever your plan." Napabuga ako ng hininga, nakaramdam ako ng inis saaking dibdib nang biglaang naalala kung anong araw ngayon. "Where are you?"
Napadaan kami sa subrang lawak na plantation at mga bulubundukin na nasa malayo ngunit subrang linaw kung gaano iyon kaganda, city life is nothing compared to this view, idagdag mo pa ang malinaw at malinis na karagatan meters away from here.
"At the airport, just arrived from Dubai flight. I won't cancel anything. I want to visit Playa Fuego once in my life."
"Really?" I smiled bitterly, "Then go and relax in this Island all you want, dont count on me.bye." I ended the call before throwing my phone outside, I put my sunglasses on and enjoyed the ambiance. Did he just forget today is our first anniversary? nakakainis.
"Your relationship won't last." Napasulyap ako kay Chaucer ng magsalita sya at umiling-iling pa na parang sigurado na sya sa pambibintang niya. "Your attitude is a mess."
I smirked, "I love him so much, Im trying to be mess to test how much he deserve me." Taas noo kong pagsasalita, alam kong nadadagdagan ang tensyon sa pagitan namin ngunit gusto ko syang patulan dahil sakanyang sulyap at boses ay pinapamukha niya kung gaano ako ka walang sense na girlfriend.
"Love?" He chuckles and it gave me goosebumps, napayakap tuloy ako sa sarili. "There's no such thing as true love." Sumulyap ito, his eyes are intense but cozy, nililipad din ang makapal nitong buhok making him look like a model having his photoshoot.
"How can you even say that.." I said almost whispering, kahit malakas ang ihip ng hangin ay alam kong narinig niya iyon, tinuon ko nalang ang atensyon sa gilid ng daan.
"Someone proved it to me five years ago that love is just a game, when it hits game over, either you win or you lose." I cleared my throat in his sudden talkative attitude, he's just casually talking like I'm a new found friend or something.
"What do you mean?" I tried not to shiver my voice, well, this is better than deadly silence and awkwardness.
"In your situation with Tuecer, you're still playing." Napakuyom ang aking kamao. "But it's near to game over."
