Day 3 in Baler.
Maaga kaming nagising ni Ethan dahil may bibistahin kaming isa pang must visit na destination dito.
The great Dicasalarin cove of Angaras.
Good things, Ethan brought his SUV kaya hindi kami masyadong mahihirapan sa habal-habal thingy.
We packed our things early in the morning kaya later, after namin mag breakfast, aalis na kami.
"Excited?" tanong ni Ethan habang kumakain kami.
I nodded, "Super! This is my first time going there. Grabe!"
Ngumiti lang si Ethan. It is not his first time going there kaya tiwala na ako na hindi kami maliligaw.
By the way, Ethan cooked egg, bacon and hotdogs for our breakfast. He also cooked porkchop and fried fish para may mabaon kami mamaya sa trip namin.
I'm really excited!
Ethan told me that there's a light house at Dicasalarin cove. Gusto ko ring puntahan 'yon to see the 360° view of the cove.
"Let's go?" aya sa akin ni Ethan.
I smiled at him. A very wide smile.
Pinuntahan muna namin ang SUV nya sa parking lot ng suite na tinutuluyan namin.
Now, we're ready to go.
Napuno ng tawanan at kwentuhan ang loob ng sasakyan ni Ethan habang buma-byahe.
"It's you gain, Ethan!" naka ngiting sabi ko nang makita sya.
He opened the passenger's seat for me, "Ano pa nga ba? Your brother's busy again."
Pinanood ko syang umikot at pumasok sa driver's seat. Tinaas-baba nya ang kilay nya nang mapansin nyang naka titig ako sa kanya.
"Medyo nasasanay na ako na ikaw ang sumusundo sa akin ah," pabirong sabi ko.
Pero 'yon ang totoo.
He gave a warm head pat, "That's good. Para ako nalang palagi ang hanapin mo."
Hindi mo mapigilang ngumiti.
Ethan has always been like that to me. Always making me feel butterflies in my tummy.
It would look weird, I know. Kinikilig ako sa isang 18 years old boy while I'm only 14.
But I can't help it.
"You won't believe what happened earlier at our basketball practice," sabi ni Ethan.
I braced myself. Baka i-kwento nya na naman ang crush nyang senior.
Reigning queen sa school.
"Pumunta si Ate Princess sa practice nyo?" tanong ko.
"No! What the hell!" tumawa sya ng malakas, "How did you come up with that thought?"
I shook my head, "Wala lang. Crush mo sya, diba?"
Tumawa sya ng malakas, "Yeah."
I bit my lower lip. Hindi na ako sumagot. After a while, biglang bumagal ang pagpapa takbo ni Ethan sa sasakyan.
"Hey.." pag tawag nya sa akin, "Goodness gracious, you're jealous."
I looked at him and I frowned, "What? No!"
He shook his head while laughing hard, "You're jealous, Ziah. Admit it."
"No. I'm not jealous," I said, lying.
