many days had passed here in our beach vacation and we really enjoy it talaga because there's so many adventures and activities

and now i'm here in my room combing my hair when my some of hair ay nasama sa suklay. at unti unting nalalagas, i stop combing my hair dahil agad agad ko namang tinanggal ang mga nalagas na buhok ko. damn this leukemia.

"irene, are you ready?" ate imee asked while she's knocking.

i panely smile infont of the mirror before i answered.

"yes i am, i'm just retouching my face" i shout also before i grab my all things because this time is our uwi time.

dapat nga bukas pa but the prime minister ay bibisita sa malacañang so we need to be there.

binuksan ko naman ang pinto. at bumungad naman saakin ang mga namumungay na mga mata nila, they seems like they doesn't want to leave yet.

"well sorry guys our deadline is already waving us" i jokingly said, then tumuloy na ako sa paglalakad.

dumiretso naman kami kila nanay siony para magpaalam.

"nanay siony mauna na po kami" pagpapaalam naman namin sakanya then niyakap niya naman kami isa, isa.

"oh sige magingat kayo ha, nako mga anak mamimiss ko kayo" she said then she kiss our forehead.

ganon din sa dalawang batang si shane at lawrence ay nagpaalam na kami. kaya dumiretso naman kami maglakad papalabas.

after i step my foot outside a deep sighed came out from me then i slowly feel a hands clasping my palm.

i look at it, it's greg he's now musculy smiling. nakakamatay na ngiti actually.

"why are you smiling like that?" i asked because he look so happy

"hey! stop that. your both two cheesy." ate imee shout that make us parted because of shyness that condensing us.

bitter ang lola niyo.

"okay okay. inggit ka lang eh. ayaw pa kase sagutin si rodrigo na nanliligaw sakanya ayan tuloy walang love life." i mumbling while stepping my foot to enter in greg van.

well that's the reason why he's happy. dahil kasama namin siya ngayon. and he will be the one who drive us. emz

sublatan daw sila ni bong, but for now it's bong turn.

kaya naman umupo na kami ni greg sa bandang gitna.

"did you enjoy?" greg trying to provoke my attention because this beautiful place always caughting  and capturing my attention.

"uh yes? what did you say?" i asked before i look at his eyes.

"i asking you if you enjoy?" he asked i smile panely

"look at my sister and my brother and also on your cousin." tumingin naman siya kila bong and manang and also kay liza.

"what did you see?" i asked.

"a beautiful smile" he said.

"so that's mean we really enjoy it." i said and lean my head on his shoulder

a tiredness keep making me horrible. i felt like my immune system slowly killing my happiness, freaking this disease.

what the hell did i do to make me feel this kind of leukemia!!

hindi niya naman na muli akong tinanong dahil siguro naramdaman niya rin ang pagod ko that's why he just clasp my hand while hugging me.

-
i woke up when i felt like he's moving.
i slowly open my eyes. i see ate standing behind him. i think they trying to change their position dahil baka si greg na ang mag dri-drive.

"oh your awake" he slowly uttered while he's still guiding my head.

inayos ko naman ang posisyon ko.

"continue sleeping shin, i'm just need to drive" he whispered once again. then i frowned my head.

why all of the sudden he's calling me shin?

"why shin" i asked then look at him

his face closer to mine, he's now on my ears then he whispered something that make my knees wanna fall for a moment

kahit na nakaupo ako gusto kong bumagsak dahil sa sinabi niya

"because your my sunshine" he whispered, i panely smile before ate spoke.

"did you both have plan na maghiwalay muna even though just for hours?" she interrupted us.

we both giggles before greg decided to go on bong direction. then umupo na si ate sa tabi ko.

i was about to lay my head on window when she spoke again.

"magtapat ka nga saakin irene" i look at her, i raise my eyebrows

"what was that?" i asked out of confusion.

"did you love greg already" she asked that make me choke.

"w-w...hat? i asked.

"i mean your both clingy to eachother hindi malayong magkagusto kayo sa isat isa. babae ka lalaki siya. pareho kayong single. what are you waiting for?" she said that make me simply giggle.

"but we're not compatible ate, there's no reason to give this malicious thing at all." i said and look outside.

but for real, i don't know what is love anymore. i don't know how i need to feel about love. or did i needed to feel this?

i slowly felt her hand slowly caressing my palm that make me look.

"i'm your ate. you can be transparent on me irene. i know you, i know that you love him already but you can't admit it. but that's okay. this thing can wait." she said then panely smile.

i softly laugh.

"i don't wanna give this time ate, my time is short for this. i'm slowly dying already. well sa totoo lang i always felt like im laying in my own coffin" i said while simply laughing.

"damn you irene. don't say that!" she said acting like she's pissing off on me na. i just simply giggle before she let me put my head on her shoulder and hug her. hay my ate.
