Abysmal eventuality.
-BLARE VILLACORTA-
Pangalawang araw na namin dito sa Palawan pero hindi ko pa rin talaga makalimutan yung sinabi sa'kin ni Ace.
Last night gave me a total headache. Ah? Wait, let me replace it. I guess, until now my head is still suffering. Halos hindi nga ako nakatulog nang maayos dahil sa sobrang pag-iisip.
"Blare, wake up! Magbe-breakfast na sa baba, saka may announcement daw sila Mr. Grenz! Hoy ikaw din Zerine! Gosh, bumangon na nga kayong dalawa!" Suddenly, I heard Stacy's usual excited tone.
Because of that, I felt that Zerine stood up from her bed. But me? I remained laying down. Kahit balot na balot ako ng kumot ay giniginaw pa din ako. Just what the fuck is this? Lagi na lang akong nagkakasakit.
"Blare? Are you okay?" I heard Stacy murmured, before she sat beside me. Gusto kong tumango para sabihing ayos lang ako, kaso bigla niya na lamang kinapa ang noo ko.
"Oh My God! Ang init mo!" And then, she added in a fit of panic.
"N-No...I-Im f-fine" Pinilit ko silang kumbinsihin pero nakita ko lang ang pag-irap sa'kin ni Zerine.
"Obviously, you're not freaking okay!" Bulyaw pa niya sa'kin.
"We're staying here with you---" I quickly cut off Stacy's words, as I managed to stood up from my bed.
"Stubborn! Magpahinga ka nga!" For the effin time, Zerine scolded me but I just shook my head.
"Pupunta lang ako sa comfort room tapos bumaba na tayong tatlo" I uttered in a low tone, before I went to the bathroom.
After a couple of minutes, I just found out that we already reached the wide kitchen of the mansion. Panay ang irap sa'kin nila Stacy at Zerine dahil hindi na nila ako napigilan. But despite of that, they are still guiding me because I'm not feeling well.
"Dapat nagpapahinga ka eh!" Stacy insisted again, which causes me to refused.
I also heard the deep sigh of Zerine before she turned to my direction. "Just tell us kapag hindi mo na kaya" I quickly agreed on her suggestion, as we sat on a long chair.
Well, we started eating with the other students. I was about to take a sip from my drink, but I suddenly caught Ace.
Okay, damn it. I'm not assuming things, but he's staring at me. And because of my awkward feeling, I managed to look at the foods in my plate.
"Blare? Is there any problem?" Aligaga naman akong napalingon kay Dave, matapos niya akong tanungin.
"H-Ha? I-I mean, nothing. Okay lang ako" Nauutal kong pagtugon. But whatever it is, Trevor's accusing face doesn't escape on my eyesight. Ganon ba ako kahalata?
Magsasalita pa sana si Dave pero bigla na lang pumunta sa harapan si Mr. Grenz. He cleared his throat first, before formulating some words.
"Goodmorning students! Ah? Sige kumain lang kayo, wala namang problema sa'kin 'yan. Anyway, I have a little sad news for all of you. The thing is, nakatanggap kami ng memo kanina. And sorry to tell you, hanggang ngayon na lang ang magiging retreat natin. Bukas ay makakauwi na kayong lahat. Ah? Wala tayong magagawa kasi utos 'yon ng nakatataas. Well anyway, as our last day here, we have to enjoy our activities. So, kumain kayong mabuti dahil marami pa tayong gagawin ngayon" Napa-face palm na lang ako, kasabay nang pag-alis ni Mr. Grenz. Mabuti na lamang at hindi na magiging five days itong retreat, ayoko na rin naman kasing magtagal dito sa Palawan.
