camilla introduce herself because she forget to asked his name during that time.

"you're here" he said and smiled.

"i thought you are busy?" i asked.

he nodded.
"i finished my work for next week"

i nodded, he finished his work to come here.

"i went to your opening but something came up and i had to go without seeing you.." he explained.

"okay.." i said, no words seems to register in my head.

i sighed.
"sinong kamasa mo ngayon?" i asked.

"ah, sila kerby" he pointed their tent.

mas maaga silang umakyat saamin.

"would you like to meet them?" he asked and i just nodded.

"mamaya nalang siguro zeke. tutulong pa akong sa pagaayos ng tent namin"

"tulungan ko na kayo" he offered.

imogen know how to do it but i'm too shy to declined so i just nodded.

i introduced him with my friends he said we can joined them later for dinner dahil mag iihaw daw sila.

i could've say no to his offer but they all like it and i end up nodding when he turned to me for my answer.

i slept fast when i lie on our tent. nagising ako dahil sa gutom. it's already past 7 in the evening and my friends are not around!

i looked at my bag for something to eat.

"here, you must be tired." i looked at zeke who offered the bottled energy drink.

i uttered my gratitude to him as i accept it.

he sat down infront of me, outside the tent.

"i'm sorry i couldn't attend the opening" he started.

i smiled and nodded.
"it's alright zeke"

i drink a little from the bottle.
"where are the girls?" i asked.

"nag iihaw sila ng kasama nila kerby, gusto mo na bang pumunta doon?"

i nodded.
"mauna kana, medyo pagod pa ako e." palusot ko.

"hintayin na kita pia"

it was awkward.

i offered him my chocolate bar but he declined it after that i can't talked more.

"antahimik mo pia," puna nya.

"you haven't message me in a while, on the day of opening i thought of calling you but my brother said that you have alot of projects that's why i didn't call you" i said avoiding his gaze.

he nodded.
"sorry, hindi na kita natext pagtapos non"

i just nodded, hindi naman nya resposibilidad na magtext sya saakin from time to time!

tinawag na din kami kalaunan para sa hapunan.

we sat infront of the fire.

some groups are singing and playing.

sean was playing his guitar before we ate and ivon was singing. they get along pretty well.

"good to see you again, whendy" kerby said as he sat down beside me.

i smiled at him.

"yeah, it's been a while."

"i heard you opened a new branch of your resto, congrats" he patted my shoulder.
