Me & You: Between Life And Death (COMPLETE)

Chapter 24

"Are you good?" Jason asked. I just nodded. I gave him a small smile.

He gave me the bottle of water he was holding. He was sitting next to me. We were here in Puerto Princesa International Airport... waiting for our shuttle and it's already 6pm.

"Drink more water," he reminded me again. I know he's worried about me, always. Palagi kasi sumasakit ang ulo ko. Kaya andiyan siya palagi naka-alalay and I always thanked him for that.

When the van arrived, we quickly head to the Princesa Garden Island. We checked in to that place because it is where the 26th Youth Care Annual Conference will be held. Tomorrow's the great day...

It just a ten minute ride from the airport. They provided a complimentary shuttle for us. When we arrived at the resort, they served us with a welcome drink. I sat down on the couch for a while then we precede to our suite. Jason helped me to carry my things inside.

I choose to stay in a family suite with Jacuzzi and pool access. The suite is quite spacious with two bedrooms. It has a living and dining room. It has a two bathrooms, one is more spacious than the other. This is enough for us.

"Nasa next room lang ako. Just call me if you need anything. Okay?" he said while staring at me.

"Yes, sir. I will," pang-aasar ko sa kanya. He chuckled.

When he closed the door. I went to my room. I jumped to my bed, smiling. Jason never fails to amuse me.

Indeed, time flies so fast. Days blur into weeks into years as the sea swallows even time and the day pierces to the haze and fog. It's been four years since he left. The wounds he gave me became scars but the sword remained, stuck with me.

On the other hand, I can't deny that Jason's existence made me feel better. He picked me up when I was down and helped me out when I was lost.

I couldn't stop thinking how he still manage to wait for me until now. It's been a long time of waiting for him. When will I be ready to love again? I sighed heavily and closed my eyes to catch some sleep.

I woke up because my phone rang. I quickly grabbed it from the side of the bed. I answered it.

["Hey, baby. Open the door."] Kuya stated.

Oh my. They are here! I jumped out of the bed and went outside of my room. I ran towards the main door as I quickly opened it.

I saw kuya carrying her daughter, Cecillia. Standing right beside him is ate Celine, his wife.

"Cecillia!" I screamed.

I extended my hands to get her from her Dad's arms. Kuya and ate chuckled. They know that I'm so excited to see them, especially my one and only pamangkin.

Nagbakasyon sila dito sa Puerto Princesa dahil taga-dito si ate kaya hindi ko sila nakita nang matagal.

Kinarga ko siya habang sinasayaw sa loob, sa sala habang tawa lang siya ng tawa.

"Mommy," she blurted. How cute. Her face is so adorable. She is so beautiful like her mom.

"Hello ate Celine!" I greeted her. I just realized na hindi pala ako nakapag-greet kay ate sa sobrang sabik ko na kargahin si baby 'C', for short. Bumeso lang ako sa kanya.

"Sa akin? Walang hug?" pagrereklamo ni Kuya. I rolled my eyes and he just laughed because of that.

"Wag ka na!" pang-aaar ko. Lumapit siya sa akin and gave me a tight hug. He shoved my hair saka humarap kay ate Celine, tumabi at inakbayan ito habang pinapanuod kami ni baby C.
