Maybe This Time

Part 1

Bakit nga ba tayo pumayag na pumunta dito? Pangatlong bote na namin ng beer ng bestfriend ko si Dr. Glyssa Romero, she's a pediatric cardiologist"

"bakit nga ba?"  Tumingin sa akin Habang umiinom sa kanyang beer.

Minsan iniisip ko napapasubo na rin kami sa kaka-volunteer namin.

Im Elisse Martinez. Pediatric Intensive care specialist.

Me and Gly have been best friends since higschool. Sabay kami ng Intermed, sabay na rin kami ngresidency training as pediatricians, naghiwalay lang kami sa fellowship trainings kasi iba ang gusto namin dalawa.

"Tandaan mo Martinez ikaw una um-oo dito"
Napa-irap ako at napa belat saknya. Ako nga nman talaga ang unang pumayag dito

"Ang hirap ang moving on stage, inabot tayo ng ilocos".. tawang tawa si Glyssa sa sarili niya.
Umorder ako ng margarita, si Glyssa awat na daw kasi siya pa ang mgdrive. Bored na bored kami sa apartment namin kaya naisipan nmin pumunta sa isang resort dito na may bar sa may beach front. I was wearing a white halter sundress and white sandals, while Glyssa was in a floral tube top and white shorts. Kami lang ata ang andito na may dalang ipad na ngbabasa. Mag e-exam pa kasi kaming dalawa para sa fellowship namin in 6 months.

Mayat maya may narinig na kaming nagtitilian at ng hihiyawan sa may entrance,
"Uy baka may artista" sambit ni Glyssa!
Mukha nga ang dami umaaligid sakanila at mukhang may body gaurds pa. Hindi naman ako interesado.

Masyado na madami ang tao kaya naisip ko kunin na ang bill, okay nman na daw si Glyssa na mgdrive nawala na effect ng tatlong bote ng alak. Nang tawagin ko ang waiter and signaled for the bill. He placed two cocktails on our table.

"I didnt order" i told the waiter and pushed the glasses back to him
"Pinapabigay po ni Sir Sandro Marcos "

"Sakanya?" And pointed at Glyssa.
She raised her brow at me

"Mam sainyo po and to your friend"

" i dont know him, i dont take drinks from strangers" i took the bill and payed with my card..

We were walking pass the exit when a man in a polo barong was infront of us
"Mam gusto po kayo kausapin ni sir"
"Excuse me?" I was trying to get pass him but he wont move

"Sino ba yan?" I asked irritated he led us to the VIP table.

They were a group of people clearly they all look expensive.. probably dumb. Trust fund babies

"You dont like the drink?" He smirked I must admitt he looked hot with his black button down shirt showing a little chest.

"I dont know you" i looked at him dead pan

"Im Sandro Marcos" he simply said. He was arrogant, pero ang gwapo talga.

"Dapat ba kilala kita?" I arched my brow the people in his table started to laugh

A girl dressed in a plunging black dress started to talk "Excuse yourself your talking to the next governor of Ilocos"

"Hindi naman ako botante dito" i rolled my eyes at her and i turned around and preceded to leave holding Glyssa's hand.

"Let her be Sandro her LV bag is probably fake, shes probably jobless" she said a little too loudly

yup that was it. Pumantig ang tengga ko

I looked at her and said..
"First of all its Goyard not LV" and i stormed out.
Gago yun! Walang trabaho talaga. Mukha ba kaming tambay?!.

Tawang tawa si Glyssa sa tabi ko
"Mukha talaga tayong tambay minsan ee yung nghahanap ng sugar daddy"
Nagtawanan lang kami at umuwi na sa apartment.
