Faith

FAITH and her other friends spend their last day in bohol roaming around and visiting some tourist spots with John as their tour guide.

They were enjoying their last day, taking pictures of the beautiful scenery, riding exotic vehicles, eating meals in different restaurants.

Their short getaway was indeed an awesome experience, they're all having fun. Her friends were so amazing! She enjoyed everyone's great company.

Can't deny the fact that we're all undeniable tired! Who's not? we've party, we climbed, we swam, we tried rough riding, visiting tourist spots and all. We only have three hours sleep and now we're officially sleep deprived! We're all Drained! Not to mention our skin colour! Some of my friends are happy for their tanned skin, oh! Scratch that! It's actually more than a tanned skin! It's actually sunburnt skin! Gosh! Wala akong alam bakit gustong-gusto nilang umitim. To the point na literal na sinunog na nila ang balat nila kakabilad sa araw!

I was literally having a good time that I completely forgot the conversation I had with the stranger who answered my phone call for mum. And now I remember about it!

I was actually thinking who must be that man! Husband? Seriously? He must be a possessive husband then? and how the hell would he be my mother's husband? I really want to laugh and roll my eyes for that!

I was actually thinking that maybe that was just a prank, although the angry voice was so damn familiar. I'm certain that it wasn't my uncle because my mama is in hacienda right now and there is no way my uncle would meddle mums phone, and also I'd never imagine uncle Cesar claiming my mum as his wife! Gosh have Mercy!

I'd never call mama again after that incident, though mama send me a message telling me to take good care of myself and enjoy my outing with my friends . And that she will send someone to pick me up in my unit tomorrow, she even reminded me that I still have a flight to catch waygoing to masbate. Of course she ends her message by telling how much she misses me and that she'll always love me. Will that's mama what would I expect?

It's now 9:30 in the evening, I've just arrived in my pad in manila, tired from my bohol escaped but I still able to pack my things for my month vacation to hacienda Victoria. Gosh nakakapagod! Wala pa akong tulog at kailangan ko pang gumising ng maaga dahil 8am ang flight ko papuntang masbate bukas! Nagmumukha na akong adik nito!

Getting ready for bed when I heard a soft knock on my door. Napakunot noo ako.
Gising pa si ate?

Naglakad ako palapit sa pinto at akma ko na sanang buksan nung bumukas ito bigla! Sagulat ko ay napa-atras ako at napahawak sa sariling dib-dib. Ano ba'yan!

"Nakakagulat ka naman at--." nabitin sa ire ang dapat kong sabihin nung nakita kong pumasok si luke na may hila-hilang malita.

Literal na tumigil ang mundo ko nung magtagpo ang aming mga mata. Ilang araw din itong hindi nagpakita sa'akin at ayaw ko mang-aminin ay miss na miss ko na ito!

His intense dark blue eyes gaze at me. Matapang at seryoso ang mga mata nitong naka-titig sa akin, kita ko pa ang pasimple nitong pag-sipat sa sout ko. Nagtagis ang bagang nito bago tumikhim.

Halos hindi na ako humihinga. Nakatitig ako dito habang pinoproseso kung totoo ba na nandito ito sa harapan ko. I even blink my eyes three times.

Umangat ang gilid ng labi nito, na parang may tinatagong ngisi na ikinakunot ng noo ko.

Tumikhim ako at binawi ang tingin dito, binaling sa ko human size teddy bear na naka-upo sa gilid lang ng pinto.

"Anong ginagawa mo dito?" gusto kong palakpakan ang sarili ko dahil hindi man lang ako nautal.
