Chapter 10

Chapter 10

We were few meters away from the resto na lang and I could feel my heart already beating so fast. Pero pinagitnaan na ako nina Fiona at Mel at pareho silang nakahawak sa kamay ko, afraid I'll run away. Kaya kahit gustuhin ko mang tumakbo ay hindi ko magagawa. They already made sure of that.

"Sandali, sandali," I said. Napatigil naman kami sa paglalakad.

"Bakit?" Tanong ni Mel.

"Let me breathe, okay?" I replied na tinawanan ng dalawa.

"Easy ka lang, girl. Di ka naman kakainin ni Kuya Rap. Ito naman, parang ewan," Fiona murmured.

"Ikaw kaya sa pwesto ko? Nakakahiya kaya 'yong kanina!" I hurriedly replied. Panay pa rin kasi ang panunukso ng dalawa. At hindi ko alam kung ano ang dapat maramdaman.

"Hindi nga kasi 'yan. Wag kang ano," Melody mumbled. Hinila na nila ulit ako kaya wala na akong nagawa kundi ang tumuloy sa paglalakad.

Pagkarating namin sa resto ay nakita namin ang tatlo at may pagkain na sa mesa. Nakakaramdam pa rin ako ng hiya pero dahil sa gutom ay pinilit ko munang kalimutan 'yon.

"Thank God, you're here!" Parang excited na sabi ni Ate Marian. "Di pa kami kumain because we waited for you. Gutom na 'ko."

"Sorry, Ate," paumanhin naman ni Melody. "Kain na tayo," she added saka nauna nang kumuha ng pagkain. Kanya-kanya na rin kami sa pagkuha ng pagkain namin.

"And by the way, libre na 'to nina Ethan at Rap ha. Sila pa lang naman kumikita sa atin," Ate Marian said, wiggling her brows.

"Palamunin ka pa nga pala 'no," Kuya Ethan said. Agad siyang sinapak ni Ate Marian sa braso kasi magkatabi lang naman sila ng upuan. Nasa isang long side sila ng table, kaharap ko si Ate Marian at kaharap naman ni Mel si Kuya Ethan. Si Kuya Rap naman ang nakaupo sa isang side, adjacent to Kuya Ethan and Mel at kaharap niya si Fiona who is also sitting adjacent to me and Ate Marian.

"Heeee! Kapag ako talaga grumaduate di kita ililibre!" Bulyaw ni Ate Marian kay Kuya Ethan sabay irap. The two kept on bickering. Hindi ko na sila pinansin and just paid attention to the food.

May scrambled eggs, pancakes, hotdogs, daing na bangus, fried rice, bacon and pork tocino sa table. All are my favorite kaya kumuha ako ng lahat ng pagkain, libre naman daw eh.

I was just eating my food with gusto when I felt Fiona kicked my leg. Napa-aray ako and glared at her. She was pointing at something with her lips. So even with furrowed brows, I looked at what she's pointing at.

And it was Kuya Rap! He wasn't looking at my direction. He was just also paying attention to his food kaya hindi naman niya ata ako nakita.

Agad kong pinanlakihan ng mata si Fiona and she's now trying to suppress her laugh. I rolled my eyes!

It was already 4 nang makalabas ako ng kwarto. Nakatulog kasi ako after 'nong brunch namin and when I woke up ay wala na akong kasama sa kwarto. Naka-receive naman ako ng text from Mel saying na they went swimming daw. Kaya nagpalit na rin ako ng panligo ko saka sumunod sa kanila.

Medyo maraming tao na sa beach kasi hindi ganoon kainit. Pero madali ko lang nakita sina Mel at Fiona because they're just by the shore at busy pa sa pagpipicture.

"Dane! Lika dito!!" Tawag ni Fiona nang makita ako.

Fiona's wearing a red one piece pero may shorts siyang suot. Si Mel naman ay pareho kong naka-rash guard and shorts.

We took few more pictures before we decided to finally dive at the sea. The water's so clear kaya ang sarap maligo. It was so refreshing. Saglit kong nakalimutan 'yong acads.
