Momentary Bliss

25th

I finished taking a bath kaya kumain na kami ni Tan afterwards.

"Anong oras tayo uuwi?" I asked while slicing my ham.
"We can stay here until the afternoon if you want. Still your choice." He said and took a bite of his food.
"After 3 tayo uwi. I want to go for a quick swim later." I said and drank my water.

Tumayo na ako and went towards the sink to wash my plate.

"Tell me if you're finish eating. I'll wash it." I said.
"Okay. Thank you." He said.

Hinugasan ko na ang plato niya and he said he'll go take a bath too.

Lumabas ako to go to the beach. Ang peaceful.

When life becomes hard, the sound of the waves will be there to calm you. It's very pleasing to hear it.

I sat on the sand and opened my phone to scroll through my IG. I saw lots of comments from my post.

rile_10: enjoy!
irishxx: wow naman!
Leah_27: pasalubong mwah!
Mics38: sweet naman yiiee!

And many more comments.

I saw Tan's post too. He captioned it with:

Pretty.

I still don't get what those lines and dots mean though.

After getting tired if scrolling, tumayo na ako so I could go inside.

I saw Tan na may kausap sa phone.
"It's not important for now." I heard him say.

Nung nakita niya ako ay agad siyang nagpaalam sa kausap niya at lumapit saakin.

"What wasn't important?" I asked and gave him a questioning look.
"Nothing baby. Just work. What do you want to do now?" He asked.

Ramdam ko na may tinatago siya saakin pero hindi ko nalang muna pinansin iyon. Just like he said, it wasn't important and it was just about word.

"I want to swim. Kahit saglit lang." I said and went upstairs to change.
"How about you? Want to swim?" I asked and turned to look at him.
"I'm fine. Bantayan nalang kita." He said and gave me a small smile.
Tumango nalang ako and changed my outfit.

I'm far from Tan now. Nasa tubig na ako and he's there sitting on the sand smiling at me.

I want to ask him if there really is something important about work para makauwi na kami ngayon. Work is important after all.

After a while, napagpasyahan kong umahon na.
"You done?" He asked and covered me with a towel.
"Yup. Let's go home after I change." I said at dumiretso na ng lakad papasok ng rest house.
"I thought we'll go home after 3?" He asked.
"You have work." I said and smiled at him before closing the bathroom door.

May sinabi pa siya ngunit hindi ko na narinig kung ano yun.

Nagbanlaw at nagpalit na ako ng damit. I prepared my things too. Its past 12 in the afternoon nung bumaba na ako.

"Let's go, baby." I said and smiled.
"We can stay for a bit longer. Work can wait." He said.
"Work can't wait, baby. It might be important." I said and emphasized the word 'cant'.

Lumabas na ako and opened the car. Umupo na din ako and waited for Tan. Hindi naman nagtagal nung umupo na siya sa driver's seat at pinaandar ang sasakyan.

"You want to eat something before going home?" He asked at sumulyap saakin.
"I'm fine. How about you?" I asked not looking at him.
"Let's get something to drink. I'm a little thirsty." He said and focused on the road.
