CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN
Condition
After the event, we continued our plan on Rowilyn's birthday. It will be on Canigao Island, one of the famous islands here in our province Leyte.
Nagpahinga muna kami ng dalawang araw bago tumulak para sa plano. As usual, it will be a three-day vacation. On our second day, it will be Rowilyn's birthday, we'll be having a celebration on it and a very big surprise that his suitor prepared for her. And the rest, we'll enjoy ourselves and have fun.
Sa tuwing naiisip ko ang planong gustong gawin ng manliligaw ni Rowilyn, hindi ko maiwasang mapangiti. She'll finally have the happy ever after she deserves, after all the challenges she faced, she deserves everything.
"At last, makakapagbakasyon din pagkatapos ng nakakapagod na araw sa trabaho!" It was Sandy's words after entering the van we'll be using to travel.
Madaling araw pa lang kaya hindi kataka-takang ramdam ko pa ang antok. But nevertheless, I still laughed with her statement.
"Same here, dude," Welmar agreed.
"Tangina, halos 'di pa ako payagan ng boss ko na mag-leave, tatlong araw lang naman 'yon," reklamo ni Rochelle.
Tumawa ako. "Baka special asset ka nila kaya ganun."
Nagmura siya. "Tanginang special asset 'yan, ayoko na lang."
Tumawa kami. Nagpatuloy kami sa kwentuhan habang ang iba ay naisipang matulog na lang muna dahil sa antok. I also did the same. I didn't sleep just yet and just leaned my back on the seat. May hinihintay pa kami kaya hindi pa kami umaalis.
Pinikit ko ang mata at pinakiramdam ang paligid. My friends are all silent now, maybe asleep. Huminga ako ng malalim hanggang sa narinig ko ang mahinang tunog ng pagkatok mula sa gilid ng bintana kung nasaan ako nakaupo. I slowly opened my eyes and looked outside the window. Dahil medyo mag-uumaga na, may kunting liwanag na sumisilip kaya naging madali sa akin ang kilalanin kung sino ang nasa labas.
"Open the window just for a second," I heard him say.
Dahil ayoko namang mag-ingay at magreklamo, tahimik ko na lang na binuksan ang bintana. When I finally did it, he leaned forward to clearly see me inside.
"Sino pa ang hinihintay?" he asked.
Tahimik ko namang nilibot ang paningin.
"Si Kristine," sagot ko sabay baling sa kaniya. With my answer, he slowly nodded his head as he got something from his pocket. Inabot niya din sa akin ang dala-dalang naka-plastic.
"This is for you," he started. "Pagkain lang 'yan kung sakaling magutom ka. And I also bought you some coffee and choco drink, just choose between the two. You can give the other one to me if you don't want it."
Pinasok niya iyon sa bintana sabay maingat na nilapag sa kandungan ko. After that, he handed me the thing he got from his pocket.
"And medicine in case your head hurts during the ride."
Akala ko pagkatapos nun ay tuluyang na siyang aalis pero hindi pala. He went back again with a hoodie on his hand.
He slowly sighed. "And a hoodie for you."
I blinked my eyes. Natawa siya dun lalo na't bahagya pang nakaawang ang labi ko sa gulat.
"Nasa isang van kami. Aalis na yata tayo kasi nandito na si Kristine. Just take care of yourself here. Text me when you feel uncomfortable or what, okay?" He once again crouched to reach my forehead and planted a gentle kiss on it. Hindi ko namalayan na naipikit ko na pala ang mata kung hindi pa siya himiwalay at ginulo ang buhok ko.
