It was 4 am when I woke up. I only had 2 hours of sleep. Sa daan na lang ako matutulog.
I remove Sandro's arm around me. I could watch him sleep all day. My love. But i need time to think. To think if this is still a good idea or are we setting up for another heart break
Dahan dahan ko pinulot damit ko sa sahig at nagbihis at pumunta sa guest house.
Gising na rin si manang at nakatingin sa akin na may mapang asar na ngiti
"Aba saan ka natulog?"
Hindi ko na siya pinansin at naligo at nagbihis na
I met mom sa harapan ng bahay at pinahiram niya sa amin ang driver at ang Van going to La union to finish my medical mission with Dwights foundation
"Hindi mo na gigisingin si Sandro iha?" She asked concerned.
"Hindi na siguro ma, late na rin kasi kami umuwi kagabi"
Hindi na ulit nagtanung si Mom. She kissed a sleeping Sandy goodbye and I on the cheek
"We'll see you next week okay iha" she said
"Yes mom" i nodded and waved at her as the driver closed the door.
Hindi ko naramdaman ang biyahe from Ilocos to la union. Nung dumating kami dinaan ko muna si Sandy at si manang sa hotel.
Bago ako umalis, hinarang ako ni manang.
"Okay ka lang ba Elisse?" Kitang kita ang pagaalala sa mukha niya
"Hindi ko alam manang, hindi ko na rin alam" naguguluhan na ako. I needed to work. Kailngan ko muna lumayo..
I dont know if im ready for this yet.
Bumaba na ako at hnhntay na ako ni Dwight sabay na kami pupunta sa medical mission.
Nahihiya ako tumabi saknya knowing na naeexpect syang bgyan ko sya ng chance and knowing what happened between Sandro and I last night.
Mas lalo ako na-rattle.
On the way there I couldnt help but look at Dwight. How care free it is to be with him. He doesnt pry, he doesnt say anything bad about Sandro, he doesnt push himself or give awkward advances.
He listens, he looks at me like Im the only girl in the room.
Pero bakit ang iniisip ko pa rin si Sandro?!
"Hey, Eli! Knock knock" he laughed at me
"Sorry iniisip ko lang si Sandy, magigising sya na hindi ako katabi" i lied. And just looked ahead
"Its alright momma, no sweat" he smiled at me.
I cant deny i was attracted to Dwight, gwapo sya, mabait, he understands my current situation. Pero alam ko sa puso ko si Sandro ang mahal ko. I just wish hindi niya ako minamadali.
Dumating na kami sa site ng Medical mission and we got to work. Atleast I got to get distracted sa dami ng tao.
Natapos na ang event and we headed off to the Ramos family beach house for a late lunch. Ive
Met some of Dwights family memebers who I think assumed that we are dating. I tried to keep my distance.
Dumating na sina Rocket, Jody and Gly sa resort.
"Eli lets go have some fun, sama ka pagkatulog ni Sandy" Jody exclaimed
I stared at her.
"Kung ganyan ka magiging kalungkot na nakakasama mo uli si Sandro, huwag na lang" narinig kong sabi ni Gly
"Kilala kita alam ko ang mukhang yan" dagdag nya
They were all looking at me. I sighed
"Kung hindi ba ako sasama hindi ba kayo tutuloy?" I raised my eyebrow at them
"Oo kaya makonsensya kang hayop ka" sabay kurot sa akin ni Rocket sakin
No point in arguing with him. Might as well enjoy.
I told them Id follow I wanted to spend time with Sandy. I checked my phone Sandro had called a couple of times and messages asking me to call him.
"tinawagan ako ni Sandro, ngvideo call sila ni Sandy, hindi mo daw sinasagot telepono mo" manang sounded really concern
I told her how I felt, parang ang bilis kasi ng mga pangyayare. I dont even know kung ano na gagawin ko with work, with my life here. she just nodded and gave me a re-assuring hug.
pag katulog ni Sandy, ngpaalam na ako kay Manang at bumaba na sa hotel room namin kung saan hinihintay na ako ni Dwight at Rocket.

Sandro'sPOV
I woke up un-easy, that feeling that something is wrong. How can I feel that way when Elisse is her beside me.
When I turned to hug her, the bed was empty. I stood up and rushed to the bathroom she wasnt there, her clothes were not on the floor. I ran to the guest house and found that it was empty.
i ran to the main house and yelled at the maid.
"Sandro? calm down darling, what happened?" mom went to my side
"where is Sandy and Elisse?"
fuck today was her event with Mr. Ramos. I tried calling her she wouldnt answer.
the hell Elisse, why would she do this, why would she leave without telling me and now she wont answer the fucking phone.
I dialled manang clara's number. i really need to talk to my family. she answered immediately and she said Elisse already left for the medical mission with Mr. Ramos
I dont even know where in La union she is.
"Sandro, give her time, giver her time to breath, this must be to much for her to take in" dad patted me on the back
I tried distracting myself by working but I ended up yelling at everyone at the office.
It was past dinner time and Elisse still hasnt called, I called manang Clara and she said she had dinner out with Mr. Ramos, and her friends.
God it made me more agitated, I called Mathew to come to the house to help me calm down my nerves. he arrived less than an hour later with Carla. I got out the brandy and we settled in the garden
"Sands would you chill. balita ko you terrorized everyone at the office" he had a sip of his drink and smirking at me , Mathew can be an ass sometimes. I cant wrap my head around Elisse, she spends the night with me and runs away with that guy. is she just trying to torture me.
"Omg! I know this place. Grabe theyre having so much fun there" Carla suddenly said
She pointed to her phone and showed Mathew and I. It was I think Mr. Chua's wife who shared it on her social media. They were at a beach club. I saw Rocket, Gly and Jody... fuck Elisse was with Mr Ramos in corner drinking... that was a little over an hour ago. I got Carla's phone
"What the hell Sands" she yelled at me. I didnt mind her.
I kept browsing their social media accounts they have a lot of pictures but no pictures of Mr. Ramos and Elisse. Did she go home with him?!
Did she just leave Sandy like that?!
Im not going to stand here and do nothing.
Thats it.
"Im going to La union"
