Chapter 26
Anghel dela Guardia
The welcoming water reflects the peaceful sky. The quevering sea hoards its mighty power. My feet run over the rough sands as I welcomed the waves that crawled gently to the shore. I feel so light. The gushing waves are just so comforting.
I heard a sudden click of the camera but I didn't manage to open my eyes. I remained sitting on the shore as the harmonious waves enveloped my feet.
The sun is scorching my body. I like my skin porcelain white, but I like it more when it's tanned.
"You look so beautiful."
The camera clicked again. This time, I opened my eyes. The rays of sun striked my eyes.
"Stop it."
Tumayo ako para iwasan ang camera. He was too stubborn to even listen to me.
Day 3.
Tatlong araw na kami rito sa Villa Gracia Beach Resort. I agreed to be with him. His cousins are very hospitable. Mababait sila, hindi kagaya ng mga pinsan kong hindi gano'n ka-approachable.
Lumapit ako sa sun lounger at kinuha ang tuwalya ko. Busy ang mga lalaking Schoedler sa surfing at ang mga babae naman ay nagpapa-tan sa sunlounger.
Sinuyod ni Gertude ang katawan ko habang naglalagay siya ng sunscreen.
"Nice curves!"
Naiiling na ngumiti ako sakanya. I'm wearing a bandeu and a side tie two piece. I'm used to this and I don't think someone would scold me by wearing this.
At sinong niloloko mo, Aria? Alam mong ginagawa mo 'yan to provoke someone!
Sinuyod ko ng tingin ang paligid. I'm looking for that someone who was spying me for three days already.
"What are you wearing?"
Bigla nalang siyang nagmaterialize sa harap ko nang papasok ako sa isang Diner near the beach. Napakurap-kurap pa ako sa pag-aakalang ilusyon ko lang iyon. Baka nasobrahan lang ako sa pag-iisip sakanya.
Hinila niya ako sa gilid ng Diner.
He's topless, wearing only board shorts. His chiseled chest are sunburnt.
His eyes drifted on my body. I was wearing a fauxkini. I felt so uneasy. He raised his brow, his lips protruded.
"I'm just following the dresscode. It's just normal to wear a bikini," nag-aalangang sagot ko. "And why are you here, anyway?"
Hindi niya pinansin ang tanong ko. Kinuha niya ang balabal na nakasampay sa balikat ko. Hindi nilubayan ng mga mata ko ang mata niyang seryosong nakatingin sa dibdib ko habang pilit iyong itinatago sa ilalim ng balabal.
Napakagat ako sa labi nang lumayo siya sa'kin. Mataman niyang tinignan ang katawan ko at tumango tango na para bang kontento siya sa ginawa niya.
"Better."
May mga nakatwo piece na dumaan sa gilid namin. Kitang kita ko kung paano nagtagal ang mga tingin nila sa half-naked na lalaki sa harap ko.
"Ba't ka nandito? Sino'ng kasama mo?"
Humalukipkip siya at umangat ang gilid ng labi. "Babantayan ka."
Dismayado akong bumuntong-hininga. Nakita niya iyon kaya lumabi siya.
"Yeah. Ofcourse. My father told you so."
Kasama na roon ang pakikialam niya sa suot ko, syempre. Siguro ay utos rin ni Papa.
