Lianna/Eula
Almost 5 am, I get my knitted robe and made a step outside my villa. I'll be watching the sunrise today. Mukhang maganda naman ang panahon.
This has been my life for 4 years. Kapag maganda ang panahon, pinapanuod kong sumikat o lumubog ang araw. Minsan ay dinadalaw ko rin ang resort, pero bihira dahil ayaw ni Oliver na madalas akong pumunta doon. I kept my self busy doing random things. I'm spending my whole day looking at the sea, doing some house chores, watching tv, cooking, making soap bars, and recently, gardening.
Nakakasawa rin, but what can I do? I think this will be my life forever..
Napatigil ako sa paglalakad nang makitang may naghihintay sa daraanan ko.
"Ready?" the man asked
Dumiretso ako sa paglakad at nilampasan na lamang siya.
Ang kulit talaga ng isang 'to
"Come on, Euls"
"Anong sabi mo?" tanong ko sa huli niyang sinabi
"C-come on, you'll see and enjoy the sunrise on my boat" he boastfully replied
"Alam mo ang kulit mo" Hindi talaga siya natinag sa sinabi ko kahapon na hindi ako sasama sa kanya.
"Do I really look like a bad guy?" he seriously asked.
Sa kabila ng dilim ng paligid ay nakita ko parin kung paano sumilay ang lungkot sa mga mata niya nang sinabi niya iyon. Nakonsensya naman ako at mukhang na-misinterpret pa ang sinabi ko.
"Hindi naman sa ganon-"
"Bakit ayaw mo akong samahan?" tanong niyang muli
"Hindi magandang tignan, Albert. At isa pa baka mamaya may makakita pa sa atin" diretso kong sagot
Kahit gaano ko kagustong masubukan ang ibang bagay, hindi talaga magandang tingnan na sumasama ako sa lalaking kakikilala ko palang.
"Malayo tayo sa resort area at tayo lang dalawa ang magkalapit ang villa sa phase na ito." He made a step closer to me "Wala naman tayong gagawing masama. I promise you'll just enjoy this" paliwanag niya bago ngumiti na para bang sinisigurado sa akin na totoo ang lahat ng kanyang sinabi
His smiles are inviting and his words have this persuasive power. There's something in him that I cannot resist.
Why am I feeling this?

"So, you own a resort here?" I asked Eula who's standing beside me while I steered the boat
"Nope. It's my husband's" she replied
I thought she would really decline my offer to join me for a boat ride. Akala ko kakailangan ko pang buhatin siya para lang sumama sa akin. Mabuti at marupok din ang isang ito.
"Nasaan nga pala siya? Why is he not here with you?" pag-uusisa ko tungkol sa sinasabi niyang asawa niya.
"He's in Manila, doon kasi ang business niya"
She then started walking to the boat's deck and I followed her. We're in the middle of the sea waiting for the sun to rise."Then why are you here? Bakit hindi ka nalang din sa Manila?" I asked
"Long story... it's safe here" she replied while looking at the wide ocean.
Safe? Dahil dito malaya niyong nagagawa ang gusto niyo?
I quickly shrugged off what I'm thinking. This is not the time to be in rage.
