Best Part of Me

15

"Saan ba tayo kakain?" Tanong ko habang sinusundan siya. He was walking towards the parking lot and we have an hour of break before our next subject.

But he did not bother to answer me.

"Ash ano ba?" Naiiratang tanong ko dahil ni hindi manlang siya nagsasalita. He stopped infront of his matte black Mazda and looked at me.

"Bakit ba ang ingay mo?" Naiiritang tanong niya at agad akong tinalikuran. My lips parted, pagkatapos niya akong ayain kumain sasabihin niya na ang ingay ko? What's wrong with this guy?

I rolled my eyes and ride in his car. This would be my first time riding in his car.

He started his engine and drove away from the campus.

"Baka nakakalimutan mo may klase pa tayo mamaya." Paalala ko sa kanya, he just scoffed and and continued driving.

"Who cares?" He answered.

Napanganga na lamang ako sa sinabi niya.

"You're such a bad influence." I commented and rolled my eyes. Tumahik na lamang ako at tumanaw sa labas ng bintana, I don't even know why I'm with him again after saying I should let go.

Ganito ba talaga pag marupok? But somehow, I was guilty too. What would that girl Jewell feel when she learned about this? God, since when did I ever care about anyone's feelings? This is not so me.

We stopped at somewhere very unfamiliar to me. I did not even know such place exists here in the city. It was 1 hour long ride at feeling ko ay nasa ibang lugar na kami.

"We're here." sabay kaming bumaba sa kotse.

I roamed my eyes around the whole place. This is like a resort, in a very huge garden.

"Where are we?" I asked him because I want to go here again.

"This is my resort." He said boredly, napatakip ako sa bibig ko tumingin ulit sa paligid. Hindi naman bago sakin ang makasalamuha ng mayayaman na tao, but I really like the design of this resort and I can't believe he owns this.

Sumunod ako sa kanya habang naglalakad siya.

"Bakit mo ko sinama rito?" Nagtatakang tanong ko. I mean, pwede naman niyang isama si Jewell, bakit ako?

"I told you we're going to eat." Sagot niya, naguguluhan man ay sumunod pa rin ako sa kanya. Pumasok kami sa isang restaurant sa loob ng resort, I mean, bakit may restaurant dito kung mukhang wala naman ibang tao na nagpupunta rito?

But I was wrong.

Pagkapasok namin sa restaurant ay puno ito ng tao. Everyone was wearing swim wears and some ladies were wearing bikinis. We really felt out of place because we're wearing casual attires.

"What the hell." Bulong ko. Lumapit ako kay Ash ay humawak ako sa braso niya.

"What kind of place is this? I thought tayo lang ang nandito." Bulong ko sa kanya.

Hindi siya sumagot at may lumapit naman na waiter sa amin.

"Good afternoon Mr. Chance, this way please." Sumunod kami sa waiter, dinala niya kami sa isang pintuan at pagkabukas niya nun ay literal na napanganga ako sa pagkabigla.

"Oh God." I whispered.

I can't even walk, natulala ako sa nakita ko. Is this even possible? I felt Ash held my waist and pulled me outside.

Yep outside. Nasa labas na kami ngayon, kaya pala walang tao kanina ay nandito silang lahat. We're on a beach.

"This place is so perfect!" I exclaimed joyfully. I never realized that I was smiling the whole time. I took out my phone and captured some photos of the beach. Medyo mainit dahil tanghali pa lamang, but I bet this place would be best at night.
