Unexpected Mistake (Mistake Series #1)

Chapter 16

After ng camping namin, bakasyon na. It was one week. Sinama ako nila Mommy sa isa sa mga trips nila, usual na ginagawa namin kapag break ko. Pumunta kaming Thailand. Mayroon kasing business meeting doon si Daddy ng dalawang araw. After that, nagpasyal na kami.

Currently, we're eating in a restaurant somewhere in Phuket. Kakatapos lang ng isang business meeting nina Daddy malapit dito kaya dito nalang kami kumain.

"Anak, you're birthday's near! Do you have any plans?" Mommy asked.

"You want a debut?" Daddy asked.

I honestly don't know if I want a debut. Gusto ko lang pumunta sa beach kasama mga kaibigan ko. Busy naman sila Mommy kaya alam kong hindi sila makakapunta kung iyon ang sinabi ko. But I want them to be on my 18th birthday.

"I just want a beach trip with my friends and with you po but I know you won't be able to attend that kaya, I'm fine with debut po," I said.

I saw Mom's eyes watering, she held my hand and started squeezing it.

"I'm sorry, anak," Her eyes has an unshed tears.

I smiled a bit. "It's okay, Mom,"

"We've been away to you for so long.. I'm sorry," Yumuko sya.

"I understand. Ginagawa nyo rin naman po 'yun para sakin,"

Mom smiled and faced me. "I promise, this time, we will stay longer for you, anak,"

"Debut it is, then," Dad smiled and held Mom's hand.

Nagpatuloy lang kami sa pagkain nun. We just talked about my upcoming debut next month. Kahit na gustong gusto rin nila makilala si Basty, ginawa nilang si Daddy nalang ang escort ko dahil nagu-guilty sila sa matagal nilang paglayo saakin.

Ngayon naman, nasa hotel room ako. I'm getting ready for a swim mamaya doon sa beach. I wore an one piece black swimsuit na may butas sa magkabilang bewang. I wore shades and my beige sandals.

Dapat kaming tatlo ang bababa pero may tinatapos lang na trabaho si Daddy tungkol sa meeting nila kanina at si Mommy naman, umalis patungong Bangkok dahil may biglaang meeting sila doon. I did not mind, though. Like what I said earlier, I understand because they are not gonna work hard if it's not for my future.

I quickly said goodbye to Dad because I don't want to disturb him. Bumaba na 'ko sa beach doon. Hapon naman na kaya hindi gaanong mainit. Umupo ako sa isa sa mga beach lounge chairs doon. Mayroon namang umbrella sa itaas iyon kaya ayos lang saakin.

I opened my phone, buti nalang dala ko ang portable wifi para makabukas ako ng social medias ko. I first posted a picture of the beach on my story then I swiped to instagram stories. I pouted when I saw Kiel's story. Nasa isa silang resort kasama sina Aliyah.

avaleigh: inggit :(

Bigla namang nagreply si Kiel saakin.

ezekiel: mas inggit kami sayo, tanga! Phuket pa nga!

I laughed at that. Magrereply pa sana ako nang magmessage ulit si Kiel saakin na mag-VC daw kami. I was about to Facetime him but Basty's face popped up on my screen. He's video calling me!

Huminga akong malalim bago sagutin iyon.

"Hi!" I greeted.

Basty, who's on my screen was wearing a white v-neck shirt. He looked so fine na kahit simpleng t-shirt lang ang suot nya!
