A Week in Bangkok

Chapter 6

Chapter 6

"That was expensive lunch... but worth it," Caro said, posing with an OK gesture with her finger.

"Gaga, siyempre hindi ikaw nagbayad," ganti ko sa kanya kaya agad niya akong inirapan ang inubos ang laman ng baso niya na may orange juice. Nilingon ko naman si Heikenz baka kasi isipin na naman niyang napasubo kami sa suggestion niya na rito kami mag-lunch.

Siya isubo ko, e.

I smiled at him. "You know what, Ketchup. Thank you for recommending this place to us. Sana pala rito na lang din kami nag-stay if I just knew... but oh, well, we're here on a budget kaya laban lang sa keri ng kaching!"

He chuckled, nodding. He's so cute when he does that. "No worries, though we'll be trying much cheaper next after this, I'm still gonna assure you that you'll be getting the best here in Bangkok."

"So, you're the best?" I asked.

Unti-unting kumunot ang noo ni Heikenz. Gwapo siya pero... medyo slow siya sa mga bagay na 'yon. "What does that mean?"

Umiling ako. "No... nothing. I mean, you're the best for bringing us here and all. And I must say that even though we had a slight epic fail earlier in the morning, you've still pulled it through and we've enjoyed where we went."

"Thank you so much," he said, placing his right hand over his left, just right in his right. "I really appreciate that. From all the people I've had a chance to tour around, I think you're the most gullible and appreciative person I've been with... so thank you for all of your kind words. And I wish you would enjoy the rest of your stay here in Bangkok... and you know what they say, a week only feels like a day so enjoy while it lasts..."

Determinado akong tumango sa sinabi niya. "Of course, yeah! I'm sure we will... kasama ka, e..." halos pabulong na lang ang huli kong sinabi and I'm hoping a hundred percent na hindi niya narinig 'yon or if he did, baka bigyan na niya ako ng chance? Or not? Assumero lang talaga ako.

"Are you ready to go to our next destination? I'm sure you will love this!"

"I love you!" sagot ni Caro.

Siniko ko naman ito pero tinawanan lang siya ni Heikenz. Parang tanga 'to na humahagikgik pa dahil sa cute na reaction ni Heikenz. She know that I'm totally jealous because of that pero pipiliin ko na lang manahimik kaysa maging total weirdo sa kanya. I hope he doesn't look at us like weirdo so I guess I'll just let it stay that way para naman kahit hanggang crush lang... I can still be with him by not making it weird for him.

Gaya nga ng sabi niya, mabilis lang ang isang linggo, but I know it will took me more than a week after our trip here in Bangkok. Iniisip ko pa lang ngayon, naloloka na ako.

When we left the luxury restaurant and we just rode a taxi to where we are going next. Within eleven minutes, narating namin ang Sathorn Pier which while on our way there, Heikenz said that it will be the start of our stop for our river cruising. I thought it would be weird cruising in a river, but I think hindi naman siya naiiba sa Seine River sa Paris so I think every culture has its own something to say.

Iyon nga lang... masyadong tirik ang araw and that's who we are against now.

Heikenz guide us through inside the premises. While we're heading in and following him behind, he mentioned that most of the tickets are booked online and that made Caro and I feel so unsure about it—again. But I'm sure he'll save us here in this kind of situation, he successfully did it earlier so I'm pretty wholeheartedly sure he'll know his way around.

"But don't you worry, guys. Tickets can still be bought here," he announced, Caro and I both fell in relief. "I can see you guys were a little worried about earlier, but tickets bought in advance for people who has a precise and strictly following schedule to their trip so you can still experience the river cruise because I must say, you will love Bangkok's culture while you're cruising with us."
