My Life With You

Chapter 11

Chapter 11

Hindi ko alam kung anong pumasok sa isip ni Calvin nang halikan niya ako. Did he really meant what he said about breaking up with her girlfriend? But even if he did, I don't think it is right to just get along with him. Hindi ko alam ang maaaring gawin sa akin ni Jasmin kapag nalaman niya na ako ang dahilan ng hiwalayan nila.

Anyone can do worst when it comes to love.

"Keri pa ba, mga bakla?" basag ni Jo sa katahimikan. Narito kami sa bagong tambayan namin na coffee shop. Kakatapos lang ng midterm kaya ganiyan ang tanong niya.

"I need fresh air, my gosh!" Mingzhu exhaustingly said, massaging her temple.

"Saan ba kayo this sembreak?" tanong ko. Napatingin sila sa akin na parang may pumasok na iisang ideya sa kanilang apat.

"Saan ba kayo?" balik tanong ni Sophia.

I looked at her, a bit confused. "Huh?"

"They didn't have plans? I mean the Robinsons," si Trinity.

"Uh. Actually, mayroon. Tita Emma encouraged me to join them but I declined."

"What?!" sabay sabay nilang tanong. Ayun na naman ang mga tingin nila na parang may ginawa at sinabi akong mali. But in fact, I just answered their question.

Bumingisngis si Mingzhu. "Bawiin mo! Tapos sasama rin kami."

"I don't think it's a good idea. I am not a part of their family kaya sinabi ko na hindi ako sasama. And one more thing, baka umuwi rin ako ng Davao," sambit ko. Binigyan nila ako ng hindi makapaniwalang tingin.

I backed down. "Okay, fine. I'll tell Tita Emma."

The flight from Manila to Caticlan feels nostalgic. It brings me back to the day where I needed to travel from Davao to Manila because of what happened to them (my fam). They've been here but I didn't because I'm not really an adventurous type of person. It is my first time and a part of me yearned the plane to go straight to my beloved province but half of me wanted to get along more with my new friends.

It's already nine in the morning when we arrived. Magkakasunod na bumaba ng eroplano ang boys. Nakasunod sa kanila si tito at tita samantalang ako ang nasa huli kasama sila Trinity. As usual, they are babbling some of their experiences here.

May dalawang van na sumalubong sa amin. Kailangan pa pala na bumiyahe ng mahigit isang oras bago marating ang Boracay. The ride was exciting but a little bit exhausting. Hindi ako makasabay sa energy nila, nanghihinayang pa sila na hindi namin kasama sa van ang mga lalaki. Natatawa nalang si Tita Emma sa kalokohan nila.

Hinatid muna namin ang mga kaibigan ko sa hotel na tutuluyan nila bago kami dumiretso sa bahay na pag-aari ng mga Robinson dito sa Boracay. "See you later!" I waved my hands at them before getting into the van again.

"I'm glad that you made new friends, Charm," tita suddenly uttered, smiling at me. "They're all good."

"I know, tita."

After how many hours of travel, we finally reached our destination. It's undeniable that this place has a mind-blowing scenery. The white sand and Neptune coloured beach were very visible from here. The coconut trees made it look more breathtaking. My tiredness finally paid off.

Pagpasok ko ng bahay ay sumalubong sa akin ang hiyawan ng mga lalaki. Some of them are already half naked wearing their beach shorts. My face heated the moment I looked at their body, they're just extremely hot. I suddenly looked away when I met Calvin's piercing eyes.
