Ellias Joaquin Alfaro
"Touchdown Batanes!" Masayang sabi ni Elisse the moment our plane landed kaya naman napatingin ako kay Iya na natutulog sa balikat ko.
Damn it. She's pretty.
"So damn loud," Iya said before slowly opening her eyes as she stretches her arms.
"Fuck," Bulong ko habang unti unting ginagalaw ang namanhid kong balikat dahil halos dalawang oras akong 'di gumalaw sa byahe so I could not disturb Iya's sleep.
"Bathroom lang," Paalam ni Iya before handing my jacket back.
Iya is wearing shorts paired with a black plain shirt. And for me, it's too sexy for her. It was disturbing to see her legs exposed so I used my jacket to cover them.
She's so damn careless. Pano kung hindi ako ang katabi niya?
"I feel nauseous," I heard Cheska say.
When Iya came back from the bathroom, sabay na kaming bumaba at pagbaba namin mula sa eroplano, sakto namang kinuhanan kami ni Elisse ng litrato.
"What the fuck. I wasn't ready," Reklamo ni Iya kaya naman natawa ako.
"Oh, you look like a couple," Elisse said while looking at her camera and I just realized that Iya and I are wearing the same plain black shirt that I admit, makes us look like a couple.
I stared at Iya as she covers her face from the sun. She looks so cute. Her curly hair is down but the upper half of her hair is in a bun, she looks simple yet she's undeniably pretty. Probably the prettiest girl among everyone. I admit Charry and Cheska look good in their summer dresses, Elisse is looking like a model and that's a given fact. But I think, they are incomparable to my Iya Nadine cause she just stands out.
Sumakay kami ng van para makapunta sa penthouse namin. Well apparently, Dad's villa. Batanes is where Dad lived when he was younger. Batanes is my favorite place in the world ranked after the Czech republic. I remember when Iya and I celebrated our 10th birthday here in Batanes, it was the happiest day of my life as a kid. And after a decade, I'm back in this magical place at si Iya pa rin ang kasama ko.
"What do you guys want for lunch?" Tanong ni Elisse.
"Anything," Tanging sagot ng lahat.
"Why is Batanes called the Home of the Winds?" Tanong naman ni Cheska.
"Because of its calm and windy weather," Sabay naming sabi ni Iya.
"Nakapunta na kayo dito?" Chad asked.
"Yup. Iya and I celebrated our 10th birthday here," Sabi ko naman.
"Ilang kwarto ang meron dito?" Tanong ni Ivan.
"There are five rooms and three bathrooms," Elisse replied.
So in summary, these are the room arrangements:
Charry and Iya
Cheska and Leo
Matthew and Chad
Ivan and Me
Samantalang solo ni Elisse ang isang kwarto because she's insisting that she is the organizer of this trip and she deserves her own room. We didn't even bother to argue with her dahil paniguradong sakit lang siya sa ulo.
