Years After - Continues (Completed)

12 - Photos

Thirdy is all smiles while scanning on his phone the pictures taken during his city tour with Althea. He was able to take lot of stolen photos of Althea. He was serious when he said during breakfast that he will make sure that all photos that Althea will send to Harold are photos of her and him. Therefore all shot's in Althea's phone are theirs while in his phone are his stolen shots of Althea.

"Nakakainis ka, mas malaki pa yung mukha mo sa mga pictures na nasa phone ko. Papahirapan mo pa akong i-crop ka," he read from Althea's viber message to him.

He laughs upon reading the message as he felt his sweet victory. "Then don't crop the photos, para hindi ka mahirapan." He replied to Althea's message.

After a few minutes his phone vibrates for a viber call from Althea. "Do you need anything, Althea Marie?" he sarcastically asked.

"I hate you, I hate you talaga. Bakit lahat ng kuha dito sa phone ko lagi kang kasali? I know you were taking pictures of me earlier. Send me those shots para yun ang ipapadala ko kay Harold." Althea ranted

"I did not take pictures of yours." Thirdy said denying Althea's accusations.

"Go ahead and deny it. Show me your phone to prove your claim." Althea said.

"Fine, but I only took one picture, and I will send it to you once we hang up." Thirdy said while at the back of his mind he could not remember exactly how many pictures of Althea he took during their city tour. "Yun na lang ang ipadala mo kay Harold, tell him na na-empty batt yung phone mo that was why you were not able to take lots and lots of photos." He said stressing on his last five words.

"I cannot give him that alibi. He was able to call me at three in the afternoon. Dun pa lang kinukulit na nya akong mag-send ng mga pictures ko." Althea said.

"Why are you stressing yourself about the photos? Meron namang mga pictures na hindi tayo magkasama ah, just send those pictures to Harold, tapos ang problema mo." Thirdy said.

"Yeah you are right, I have five photos without you while the remaining 50 plus shots are mostly with you. Kelan pa naging 'lots and lots of pictures' ang five photos?" You are putting me into trouble." Althea said.

"I thought you said, Harold understands. So why will you be in trouble?" Thirdy asked.

"Ewan ko sa iyo, ang hirap mong kausap. Bye na, and please send me that picture of mine after we hang up." Althea said and immediate hangs up.

She again scrolls on the pictures taken during her city tour with Thirdy. She has mixed emotions looking at those pictures. She is certain that she is happy spending the whole day with Thirdy but she is also bothered as almost all of the pictures taken in her phone are pictures of Thirdy and her. Pictures that she needs to send to Harold. And the only solution she has in mind now is to crop Thirdy in some of those pictures before she sends it to Harold.

While waiting for the picture from Thirdy, she checks on the pictures one by one, she could not help but smile when she recalls moments with Thirdy on those places. The Mountain View National park is breathtaking but she enjoys Jumalon Butterfly Sanctuary the most and marks the place as her favorite among the places they visited. She was in awe of the beautiful tropical plants and flowers with beautiful butterflies fluttering all around.

Despite that heavy breakfast, eating an authentic lechon Cebu is one of her to-do-list on this trip. And she is very happy that they had their lunch at one of Cebu's famous restaurants who served really delicious Lechon Cebu. Seeing the pictures from their city tour she realized how beautiful Cebu is and perhaps that was the reason why Thirdy's parents choose to stay in this beautiful place.
