Chapter Eleven

Agad akong napabalikwas ng bangon ng maalala ang napagkasunduan namin ni Eric. Maggy-gym pa pala kami ngayon. It's already 5:30 am, I'd still have 30 minutes to prepare myself.

Walang tao sa bahay, dahil nga nasa Cebu na sila Mommy, that's why I can move freely the reason why I'd finished early than my time limit. I am all set from my suits, hairstyle which is the ponytail and for my bottled water.

I opened my social media account as waiting for Eric. As scrolling down my timeline there is a post that caught my attention. It is from Cynthia's Orphanage. Its states that they're all out of stock and they need a support for the sake of kids life. I stalked the page, they have a thousands of children wherein the facilities are not enough.

I gasped.

So I've made my decision that fast. After of our gym session, I will go to the said location of the orphan. Isang oras lang naman ang byahe papunta roon. At thankfully may pera naman akong naipon iyon nalang ang gagamitin ko.

Nothing could stop me helping others. I just can't stop my feeling of sadness watching them suffered. Hanggang sa may maibibigay pa ako, ibibigay ko. Naging passion ko narin kasi ang pagtulong sa kapwa kaya di na ito bago sakin. I just wanted to share what I have.

I keep my phone when Eric arrives.

"You ready babe?" I nodded as he kissed my lips. I smell his nape. Hmm. His manly scent. Misan kasi hinihingi ko sa kanya ang pabango niya, I think I'm addicted to it.

"Tumataba na ako!" I pinched my belly. "Puro may calories na kinakain ko these past month!" I sighed.

"Sa katunayan gusto ko ngang ganyan ka! "ngumuso ako. What does he mean? "Wala ng makakaagaw sayo, sa 'kin. Sa ganda mo kasing 'yan alam kong nagkandarapa na ang mga manliligaw mo!"

"Tsk. Possessive. Kala mo naman di karin pinagkarandapaan ng mga babae!" I pursed my lips.

"Of course, you were an ideal girl of every man!" nakangiti saad niya. Pinagsasabi neto. He opened the door for me. GENTLEMAN isn't it?

Our stop is at WZ Gym. I did a research it last night. It was the most visited gym here in San Carlos. Five star lahat ang ratings. At sila lang rin ang gym na kompleto ng lahat ang gamit.

Ten minutes of ride. We arrived at the gym. The people inside greeted us kindly. After we putted our things on the locker dumiretso na kami sa loob. Nagsimula kaming dalawa sa thread mill. Tatlumpu't minuto ang tagal namin. Sumunod naman kami sa rowing machine.

After that, I used those pre-loaded dumbells.

"Are you okay?" Eric assisted me and get those dumbells on my hand. "Baka nabalian ka na ng buto!"

Tinawanan ko siya. Masyado siyang O. A.

"OA mo masyado, Babe. Nahirapan lang ako dahil nga hindi ako sanay magbuhat ng mabibigat!" Paliwanag ko.

Next was the pull-up bars. I smiled when Eric wiped my sweat.

"I feel like I lose 2 kilogram weight!" I said while he's on my back putting the handkerchief.

"Ako pakiramdam ko madadagdagan ang mga abs ko--Ouch!"

Binatukan ko siya. Sobrang hangin naman nitong kasama. Buti nalang di ako payat kundi matagal na akong nahagip ng hangin.

Pagkatapos ilagay sa likod ng Montero niya ang mga gamit namin sumakay na ako.

"Magsho-shopping pa ako. Bibili muna akong pagkain iimbikan ko ang ref namin!" I glance at my watch. 10 am. "Sama ka?"

Ang mga hindi na magkasyang pagkain ay ipapack ko nalang para sa mga bata.

"Sure!" he started the engine. "After that, date tayo, babe?" Alok niya.
