You
Ma, nandito na po kami
sa beach house nila Tito Joven

Mama
Sige Tel, paki sabi sa Tito mo
hapy birthday. Mag iingat kayo
diyan, anak

You
Opo, Ma

Sliding back my phone to my sling bag, Jexter already hold my hand as we left his car here at the parking area "Estelle, hija!" Tita Seira greeted me with her hug "Mabuti naman at nakasama ka" She said as she cling her arm to mine as we continued walking "Of course, Ma. Birthday ni Papa, her daughter in law shouldn't be absent" Jexter said na siya namang kinakilig ni Tita at naging dahilan ng pag irap ko sa kanya

"Nasaan na po sila?" I asked Tita Seira "They're at the beach house, Estelle. Prepare yourself, mas kumpleto ang mga pinsan nila Jexter at kapatid ng Tito Joven mo"

An awkward smile formed in my lips. New faces to meet and new awkward moments to deal with.

Nang makarating kami sa living area ng beach house ay iniwan na muna namin si Tita Seira para mag tungo sa kwartong naka laan para sa amin ni Jexter. Nang mapansin ko namang hindi karamihan ang mga kwarto sa tatlong palapag na beach house ay napa isip ko kung saan matutulog ang iba pang kamag anak nila Jex

Jexter stopped in front of this door at the end of third floor's hallway where we have the full access of the balcony "How about your other relatives and guests? I don't think we'll all fit in here" I asked him as I seat at the side of the bed "They have their own rooms at the hotel near the resort, yung iba naman ay uuwi narin mamayang gabi" He said as he opened the sliding glass doors.

The white curtains are slowly dancing as it was blown by the warm sea breeze. The morning sun rays greeted my face as I walked towards the beach house's balcony that is connected to our room

I leaned at the white wooden railings as I let my hair get blown by the wind "It's so nice in here, Jex" I said as I closed my eyes, hearing the crashing sounds created by the crystal clear waves

"Estelle!" Agad akong napa lingon sa pamilyar na boses "Lauren!"

We both chuckled as we crashed in each others arms "Mag katabi lang tayo ng kwarto" She said as she pointed the other sliding door that is also connected here at the balcony "Alam niyo na ha" Kyle said as he wiggled his brows "Inuman na naman nasa isip mong hayop ka" Nexon spat out with his arms folded

Comes out that the room that is occupied by Jexter and I is right beside this huge bedroom occupied by Lauren, Nexon, Kyle and Travis. It has one bunk bed and two single beds in here at mas malaki nga ito sa inookupa namin ni Jex.

Pabalik na kami sa receiving area ng beach house at habang bumababa kami sa hagdan ay biglang nag salita si Travis "I heard Chlowie's at London already" Agad naman akong tumango sa kanya

We had a farewell party for her last week and it ended up with tears in our eyes.

Sino ba namang hindi maiiyak dahil sa ginawang pag kanta ni Nexon noong gabing 'yon? I'm sure it will be really a hard thing for them. Nexon who'll study med to become a doctor and Chlowie who will pursue her dream to become a teacher.

Their schedules will surely be a mess dahil narin sa time differences dito sa Pilipinas at sa London

"Ikaw EJ, kaylan ka lilipat sa Winsborough?" Kyle asked as we reached the first floor "By the end of the month. Naayos na namin yung school papers ko, I only need to transfer my things at my condo unit"
