I Heart You (FRANKIANA)

Chapter 12

-----

Akala ko panaginip lang. Shit!

Oo, bigo ako. Yung katangahan ko kagabi nadala ko hanggang sa pagtulog.

I woke up feeling fresh. Yeah! Mojitos has no hang over. Nag ayos muna ako nang sarili ko bago lumabas. Tulog pa rin sina Mitch anf Vianca. I went outside to see Franki.

"Goodmorning!" bati ko dito. She was taking pictures of the sea. Ang ganda ng sikat ng araw, hindi pa ganoong kainitan. Checked the time it's 7 am.

"Morning. Kumain ka na don. Nagluto na si Ate Mae ng food."

"Mamaya na."

I saw the jet ski again and had an idea.

"Jet ski tayo?" sabi ko kay Franki.

Tumingin ito sa mga taong nag jejet ski sa malapit.

"Looks fun. But I'm scared Diana." Sabi niya.

"Kailan ba naman kita pinabayaan Franki."

Tiningnan niya lang ako and lift the camera.

"Smile ka muna."

Napakunot noo ko. Aryt, she took a picture of me.

"Di ka naman ng smile." Simangot nito.

Lumapit ako dito at tiningnan ang itsura ko sa camera.

"Oo nga no. Isa pa." sabi ko at umayos ng tayo at ngumiti.

"Wait." Lumapit ulit ako sa kanya kaya medyo nagtaka siya.

"Ano?" sabi ni Franki.

"Can you smile?" sabi ko naman sa kanya.

Kumunot naman ang noo niya which made her cute.

"Why? Eh ikaw naman yung kukuhanan?"

I shrugged my shoulder. "Just smile."

She rolled her eyes and smiled in disbelief.

"I want the real smile." Reklamo ko.

"Tell me why do you want me to smile?"

"Kasi your smile makes me smile." I said and for that moment while the sun rays go through her face. I saw her smile. I smile that melts me every time I see it.

I smiled and she lift her camera to capture it. Yung ngiti kong abot hanggang tenga at ang mga naningkit kong mata.

Lumapit ako sa kanya ulit to see the photo. "Sayo ko dyan ah." Komento ko at tiningnan siya.

"You're always me speechless."

Franki said suddenly and looked at me. We were both holding the camera while looking at each other's eyes.

"Do I?" I asked the smiled.

"Di ako nagkamali. Mas korni ka talaga sa kuya mo." She got the camera and walked back to the cottage. Sinundan ko naman siya. She left the camera with Ate Mae at nagpaalam na mag jejet ski.

Franki run excitedly towards the boat.

"Please take care of me." Sabi pa nito.

We wore life jackets and once we're settled I started the engine. Dahan dahan lang ag pagpapatakbo ko.

She was laughing like a child while feeling the ride. "Grabe Diana, nakakatakot! Pero ang sayaaaaaaaaaa!" malakas niyang sabi.

I was so happy that Franki was having a good time. That Franki was enjoying this. That she somehow forgets how life is stressing her.
