"Wow..." I breathed when we arrived at Casa Buenavista. "No wonder Abo fell in love with this province,"   

Napangiti nang matamis si Lilac. "Yeah, this life is really for Kuya Abo." 

 Napalingon kame lahat sa mansion nang may marinig kameng sigaw ng isang babae duon. Lumabas ang babae na may kulay silver platinum na buhok kasunod si Abo. 

 "I already told you not to do that, Abo! My poor heart is still horrified with what you just did!" naglakad ito ngunit hinawakan ni Abo ang braso nya. 

 The girl snapped at him.  Uno, Archer, Dos, Achilles, Asul and Xian looks thrilled. What the hell? Parang hangin na nawala ang mga sakit nila sa ulo dahil sa hangover. 

 "Don't make sunod at me! I hate you," sigaw nito. 

 Abo looked lost. Mahigpit pa rin ang pagkakahawak nito sa braso nya. "No... Moonlight, come on let's talk. I said I'm sorry..." 

 Naglakad ulit ang babaeng tinawag nya sa pangalan Moonlight at kaagad naman nya itong sinundan. Ni hindi na nga nila napansin ang pag dating namin. 

 Humagalpak sa tawa si Uno. "That was new. Kaya naman pala ayaw umalis dito ni Abo," nangingisi nitong sabi. 

 Archer pouted that made him look like a little puppy. "I know that lady! She was a fashion model at New York! I met her several times at a photo shoot." 

 Tumingin ako kay Lilac na hindi rin makapaniwala. "I never saw Kuya Abo show that much emotion. That lady must be really something..." sabi nito. 

 "Enough with Abo and his girl. For now let's settle our things first so we can rest and eat." Asul declared. 

 "Kuya, we'll tour Tal around..." Lilac beamed. Hindi na nag antay pa si Lilac ng sagot at basta nalang kameng hinatak ni Alona.

Naglakad kame papunta nila Lilac sa flower plantation. I was in awe with the beautiful colors of the flowers. Ang galing ng pagkaka ayos nila dahil nag mukha itong rainbow. Tumakbo ako papunta doon saka dinama ang mga halimuyak ng bulaklak.

"This is so beautiful!" mangha kong sabi. 

Natawa si Lilac. "Let's take selfies! I'll upload it on my Ig,"

Tumango ako saka lumapit sa kanila. We posted different styles until we decided to roam around again. Nang mapagod kame ay nag lakad kame pabalik sa mansyon. Kumalam ang sikmura ko nang makitang naghahanda ng mga inihaw sila Uno.

Tumakbo si Lilac papunta duon. "I'm starving!" sabi nito na ikinatawa nila Archer.

Uno got a stick of barbecue and gave it to Lilac. Kaagad naman iyong kinain ni Lilac. "Yum! This is delicious!" sabi ni Lilac. "I want to eat it with rice," humahaba ang ngusong sabi nito.

Napailing na lamang ako. The sun is almost setting. Sila Asul ay inaayos ang mga tent sa truck. They said they wanted to go camping in a forest. Napatingin ako sa babaeng may pangalang Moonlight na nakaupo sa may likod ng mansyon. Hindi ko alam pero hinatak ako ng mga paa ko papalapit sa kanya.

I sat beside her. "Hi? I'm Tallulah... Are you okay?" I awkwardly said.

Ngumiti ito. She's gorgeous! "I'm Sierra. I'm fine, did you see me and Abo fighting earlier?"

I laughed awkwardly. "Nagulat lang talag kame kase pag dating namin ay nag aaway kayo but no worries. Anyway, will you go with us sa camping?" 

Nanlaki ang mga mata nito. "I, uh... don't know."
