Hindi niya alam kung matutuwa ba siya or kakabahan sa pinagsasabi nito.
She was about to be relieved when he said that he already made an itinerary for their tour.
But a baguio tour for two days?
Biglang bumilis ang tibok ng kaniyang puso.
Tour ang sinasabi nito pero iba ang naiisip niya.
Ang naririnig ng puso niya ay isang honeymoon at hindi isang simpleng tour lamang.
"Ethan, you're kidding, right? I thought we're just going for a city tour!" she's almost hysterical.
"It's your fault anyway. Ba't di ka kasi gumawa ng itinerary. Tasha, I'd really want to explore Baguio. " kaswal lang ito habang nilalamon ang lettuce-wrapped pork belly.
"Kung binigyan mo lang ako ng sapat na panahon, I should have made one already. Pero bigla bigla mo na lang akong kinontak kanina for this tour! Di ko talaga inexpect to and as much as I want to give you a tour, I can't do this."
Biglang sumeryoso ang mukha nito. "Tash, you've made a promise to me. Ganiyan ka ba talaga? You say promises that you can't make?"
Napalunok siya ng laway. She was caught off guard.
"And besides, may naiisip ka ba'ng tour aside from this?"
Di siya nakasagot rito. He's actually right.
"Ethan, you don't understand. May business ako na hindi pwedeng iwan." segunda naman niya rito.
He began to smirk. "I've already made preparations ahead, Tash. I talked to Gwen about that already. Ang problema na lang natin ngayon is your parents. Should I talk to them personally? I wanted to formally ask them."
"N-NO!!!" nagulat ito nang biglang tumaas ang boses niya.
Di dapat ito makalapit sa pamilya ko habang nasa Pilipinas pa ito.
"I-i mean... You don't have to do that. Ako na ang magpapaalam sakanila." she declared defeat.
She knows it's just a glimpse, but she saw him smirked at her.
Ano ba'ng iniisip nito?
"So you're going?" untag nito matapos niyang itext ang kaniyang mga magulang.
"Oo na, Ethan. I-i will go w-with you." her cheeks began to blush upon releasing those words from her mouth.
"But at least allow me to go home and get my things. You know that I wasn't really prepared for this." she added.
"You don't have to do that, Tash. I already bought everything you need." he genuinely smiled.
Her jaw dropped.
Is he a millionaire or what? Coz he acts like one.
"Ethan, di mo naman na kelangan gawin yun. If you can wait for me, kukunin ko lang yung mga necessities ko." she insisted.
"Tash, we don't have enough time. Ba-biyahe pa tayo. Stop being stubborn." he firmly said.
Di na siya sumagot pa rito.
