Ano, G?

Day 3- HAPPINESS

Yesterday was a tiring day for me.After enchanting the view at the edge of the sierra madre mountain, we also went to the other view deck to took different angles of picture.

Next thing that we did, is that we went to a cave,we already went back to the beach to eat, after eating i already got tired for not having a sleep so that i took a nap.After tooking a nap its already evening.

Today is our last day here in Dingalan, Aurora. And our last thing to is to dive from the top of a rock formation down to the sea.

“Tangina”, ito na lamang ang aking naging ekspresyon.

Im here at the top of the diving spot being trembled.Nanginig akong lumapit sa pinakadulo para makita kung gaano kalalim ang tatalunan ko.

“Tangina talaga”, closing my eyes while cursing hard.

Hindi ko kaya.

Marunong akong magswimming pero hindi ko pa nararanasan magdive. Kahit pa ata sa pool.

Aki was already at my back after fixing himself.

“Ano, G?”, he asked.

“Aki, di ko kaya”, i said hesitantly.

“Ayan ka na naman, you’re underestimating yourself again”, he sounded disappointed.

“Ah basta, nakikita mo ba yung tatalunan natin, sobrang taas!. At tsaka isa pa sige nga, paano ako makakasiguro na di ako mapapahamak dito”, i asked as if seeking for assurance.

“Do you trust me?, he asked, looking strenuous to my eyes.

Bigla akong napaisip sa kanyang tanong. At bumalik saakin lahat ng mga alaala noong mga panahong nagtiwala ako pero sa huli winasak lang ako.

Should i really trust this guy?

“Kung nagaalangan ka, paano mo malalaman na katiwaa-tiwala ako kung hindi mo ako susubukan”, he said stimulately.

Erase your trust issues self. Its now or never.

“Okay”, i answered.

Which made him almost jump to where we are standing because of sudden joy.

“Oa”, bulong ko sa sarili ko.

“Ano, G?”, he asked after enjoying my yes to him.

“G!”, i answered.

Pagkatapos kaming sabihan ng paalala ng tour guide ay tatalon na kami.
Ngunit hindi na ako masyadong nakinig dahil hindi ko naman naiintindihan yung iba at isa pa kasabay ko naman tumalon si Aki.

Shit, Eto na. Tatalon na talaga kami.Ramdam ko na ang panginginig ng tuhod ko at halos naguunahan na pintig ng aking puso.

Napatingin ako ng biglang hinawakan ni Aki ang kamay ko.

“Nagtiwala ka sakin, kaya hindi ko sisirain ang tiwala na yon”, he said flattered a smile with his lips.

Napangiti ako, sa di malamang dahilan. Marahil sa assurance na binigay niya sakin.

Hindi ko na alam kung kinakabahan ba ko sa pagtalon namin o dahil magkahawak ang mga kamay namin.

Ah, ewan.
