Chapter 1
Tumayo ako at naglakad papuntang bangka patungong Isla Cinco.
"Tulungan na kita ma'am." Sabi ng lalaki. I look at his clothes siguro tour guide siya? I wore a yellow sunny dress. Ang sleeves ay hanggang pulsuhan ko at ang haba ay hanggang tuhod. Hindi naman siya mainit dahil manipis naman ang tela.
Papunta akong Isla Cinco because I was assigned to renovate our client's resort. This project is not that bad though. Good scenery and refreshing environment.
It's like a vacation actually. I need it. Napakaworkaholic ko at well, nakipagbreak ako kay George a months ago pa because his bitch sent me a video about them kissing at ang mas malala sinulsol iyon ng mga tropa niya.
He was my boyfriend for almost a year. He begged for forgiveness kasi lasing lang daw siya nun. Putanginang rason yan! And why would I forgive him? I don't tolerate cheaters.
Kung sinabi niyang hindi na niya ko mahal at may mahal na siyang iba, then papakawalan ko siya huwag lang mangloko. Laging ko iyong sinasabi ko sa kaniya but he still did it.
Nalaman ko ring pinagpupustahan lang nila akong magtropa! Kaya pala effort na effort manligaw sa akin. Akala ko seryoso siya sa akin pero hindi pala. Inamin niya din sa akin pero sinabi niyang minahal niya rin ako kalaunan. But he cheated on me.
Yung kahalikan niyang babae sa bar? Nakita ko nanaman silang nagd-date at nagm-make-out sa sinehan.
I loved him sincerely and I still have feelings for him of course pero hindi ko pipilitin ang sarili ko and I know na makakamove-on din ako.
I will not be a slave of love. I know my worth as woman and as a person. I have a lot of flaws. I'm a plus-size and not so pretty. I always workout and control my food but I'm still fat.
I think it's on my genes. My cousins are also plus-size except sa mga lalaki. I have stretch marks on my hips and inner thighs and I embrace all of my flaws.
Atleast, may isang taong nagmamahal sa akin at ako 'yon. But my confidence was shattered because of him.
I really think that the reason why he cheated is because of my physical appearance.
He always telling to do it with him you know? Sex. Despite of our generation I'm pretty traditional. Well, I'm not against pre-marital sex as long as both of you are on legal age.
But I want to do it with my husband and I think the best gift that I could give him is my virginity. But that bastard can't wait and go to bar just to hook up with other girl and she was also his ex way back in college. The nerve of him to cheat on me!
Totoo nga na kahit edukada ka pa at mataas ang pinag-aralan mo, kung hindi pa rin makukuntento sa 'yo ay wala pa ring mapapala. It's his choice. Well, his loss.
I'm with my team members, Charles and Kate. Napitingin ako sa mga dayuhang paparating. They're talking to each other with a foreign language. I think it's Italian or Spanish? All of them are good looking. 3 boys and 2 girls. The other one is holding a camera. Oh, a vlogger? The other guy sat beside me.
Binalewala ko na lang at kinuha ang camera sa loob ng bag ko para kumuha ng pictures. Binigay sa amin ang mga life vests at nag-umpisa na kaming maglakbay. At itong papansing si Charles may kinuhang malaking Piatos sa bag.
"Kaya pala ang laki ng bag mo! Puro pagkain ang laman kaya wala kang abs dahil kain ka nang kain." Pang-aasar ni Kate.
"I have abs, Miss. Naglalaway ka nga kapag nakita mo eh." Sabi naman ni Charles.
"Oh! Guys, you want some?" Aya niya sa mga dayuhan. I just roll my eyes. He's very friendly kaya madali siyang kasama.
"Thanks." The guy with a camera said. They started chatting and the boat are filled with laughter at ang nangingibabaw sa lahat ay ang lakas ng tawa ni Charles.
