Villaverde Brothers Series 1: Taming the Ruthless✓

Chapter Thirty-nine

It's already Tito Cain's birthday today at katatapos lang namin mag-lunch.

Earlier this morning, we went island-hopping because it's one of the best things to do here, bukod sa surfing and sports like volleyball sa tabi ng dagat.

They food they serve is really good. The breathtaking scenery in front of us made the food more tasty and delicious. Kasabay ng pagnamnam mo sa pagkain ay ang pagnamnam mo rin sa napakagandang view na ino-offer sa 'yo ng lugar.

The white sand pretends to be a bed that you could lay on. The sea water is so enticing that I would love to stay under it all day long.

I was really fascinated by the whole place. I could live here until I die, of course, with the man I love.

Later evening, we will have an outdoor cinema after dinner. I planned to do the surprise before our dinner. Ilang oras na lang at matindi na ang kabog ng dibdib ko sa tuwing iisipin ko ang gagawin ko mamaya.

I looked at Cai just simply sipping water on his glass, looking also at the magical view. The smile on our parents' lips didn't leave. Simula nang pagdating namin dito kahapon ay halata talaga ang saya sa kanilang mga mukha.

Probably because they had the rest that they really deserve even if it's short. Sapat na ito para kahit papaano ay makapagpahinga naman sila.

Cai turned his gaze at me and gently wiped the side of my lips. "Ang kalat mo kumain," aniya sa mababa niyang boses.

"You could've just cleaned it using your lips," I replied.

An amused smile formed on his luscious lips. "If they're not here, I probably did that."

Napatingin ako sa mga magulang naming pinanonood na kami ngayon habang mga nakangiti kaya natawa na lamang ako't nailing. Jai's smiling, too, while Zai is lazily looking at us.

Hindi ko nga alam kung bakit pa siya kasama rito kung para naman siyang tinatamad at ayaw niya talaga rito.

I haven't talked to Raya yet about what I've known. Bukod sa nawala sa isip ko ay nawalan naman ako ng oras para sabihin dahil masyado akong abala nitong mga nakaraang araw.

Ngayong hapon pa lang kami magsi-swimming dahil hindi namin iyon nagawa kahapon dahil naging abala kami sa paglibot sa buong lugar. We took pictures for some memories.

"Did you bring swimsuits, baby?" he asked casually like no one's gonna hear him asking.

I chuckled. "No."

"Why?"

"I don't feel sexy."

"But you are."

"Yuck! Ba't ba tayo nandito?" pasaring ni Jai na para bang hindi makapaniwala sa narinig.

We all laughed at him except Zairus Markell, the serious one.

"I can't believe you are like that when you're in love, Kuya." Jai laughed at him. "You act really far from how you used to be."

"Let him, Jairus Mikael," their mom said, a smile plastered on her heart-shaped lips. "At least there's one girl who can change him and that's good. He changed for the better. You're also in love, 'di ba? I know you could do more silly things than your brother can."

"Eh, wala nga rito sa Pilipinas, 'My!" he answered like a eight-year-old kid. "Ayaw sabihin ni Milgrace kung saan sa France."

"Halughugin mo nga ang buong France," natatawa kong sabi saka umirap. "Hay nako! There's a lot of ways to know where she is, Jai. Use your brain lang."

"Paano nga?" nagmamaktol niya pa ring tanong.

"Hina siguro ng connection dito, 'no?" tanong ko sa mga kasama, diniinan pa ang salitang connection.
