Devyn:

"Ba't ka ba naglasing ng ganito, Giovanni? Kung hindi mo naman pala kaya!" Naiinis kong sabi rito habang pinupunasan ng basang bimpo ang mukha nito. He just vomited and messed the room we were in. Tsk!

"Akin na, ako na." My bestfriend, Arya got the cold towel from my hand. The three of us planned this trip—but not to be wasted as Giovanni now. We supposed to enjoy the rest of our days here. "Can you cook something hot for Gio? Yung mainit na sabaw, best." The three of us were childhood friends. Tumayo ako. Hindi pa nga ako nakapagpalit ng damit—basa ba ang ibabang bahagi ng boho dress ko.

"Take care of my babe, Arya—lalabas lang ako to buy something hot for him." Actually, nasanay na kami sa isa't isa—we leaned on each other. It was just, Giovanni and I bonded for more than friends. Pero kami talaga ni Arya ang original sa grupo until Gio came in when he was eleven—at since new neighbor namin siya ni Arya. He easily blended in.

"Nasanay na ako sa babe mo, sis! Tsk—naglasing ba naman ng gan'to." Arya murmured saka pinalitan na nito ng t-shirt si Gio. Lanta pa rin ang katawan at mukhang tulog na tulog na. Tss. We still had one itinerary to explore early tomorrow—paano nalang kung hangover siya? Ayst! Nakakainis talaga!

***

Itinali ko ang buhok ko in a bun. I went straight to the hotel lobby. Actually, I could reached a call but I had to chose to go down dahil baka kelangan kong lumabas pa ng hotel. A cup of noodles should do!

"Hi," Bati ko sa receptionist. "Do you have cup of noodles in the canteen?" I asked na mukhang ikinagulat nito. Uhm, yeah right.. I occupied a five-star hotel—e, bakit ba? Baka meron silang instant noodles!

"We don't have it, maam but you can reach this store and buy stuffs from there," Sabi sabay abot ng isang hotel flyer. I thanked her and then headed to exit. La Necesidad. Alright, it's 24/7 store here in the isla Cuatros. Mukhang hindi rin malayo sa hotel—I might bought some hangover medicines if they had one.

The alley was not too far from the shore so I could really felt the relaxing breeze from this beautiful island.

"Hi! Excuse me, do you know where—" Magtatanong sana ako sa lalakeng nakatayo at kampating nakatingin sa dagat—dala ang isang can ng beer. Ito yung lalakeng nabangga ni Giovanni kanina! "err, kuya, alam mo po ba saan ang La Necesidad?" Saktong lumapit naman ito sa'kin at halos napasinghap ako nang kunin niya ang flyer sa kamay ko—akala ko kasi kung anong gagawin niya, e. Napakurap-kurap ako—galit pa rin ba siya? Gio was drunk and he didn't mean it..

"On your left side, Devyn." I instantly turned on my left side at nandun nga ang department store—but my eyes went back straight to him—nagtatanong ang mga tingin ko ngayon sa estrangherong matangkad at parang modelo sa paningin ko. Actually, mas matangkad lang naman ito ng three inches kay Gio—teka nga!

Paano niya nalaman ang pangalan ko!?

"T-Thank you," Ayst! Nagmamadali akong naglakad patungo sa department store at dali-daling pumasok sa loob. Para akong nakahinga ng maluwag—what the hell was that? I mean, I knew he looked devilishly handsome, no doubt about that! Pero paanong kilala niya ako—hindi ko maalala kung nagkita na kami ng lalake or what.

Damn. That's creepy.

Binili ko ang lahat ng kelangan ko but before I went out—sinilip ko muna kung nandun pa siya't nakatayo sa labas at salamat naman wala na ang lalakeng yun!

Halos lakad-takbo ang ginawa ko pauwi sa hotel. I almost spent almost an hour dahil nagdadal'wang isip ako kung lalabas na ng department store o ano—ayokong kabahan pero that was definitely I felt staring that stranger's eyes.

And his voice?

The way he enunciated my..name?

It's so eerie..

I decided not to talk about that to Arya nor to Gio—baka kung anu-ano ang isipin nila or I was just overly reacting.

"Babe, your soup—glad you're awake now." Gio was on seating on the bed at hawak-hawak pa rin ang ulo nito. Tsk. Nakatulog na rin si Arya sa kahihintay sa'kin—ayst, that weirdo stranger.

"Babe, thank you. I'm sorry." Sinubuan ko siya ng mainit na sabaw.Gusto ko talagang magalit sa kaniya kasi sumobra ang pag-inom alam naman niyang meron pa kaming pupuntahan bukas, e.

"Just don't drink too much next time, babe. Hindi ka naman ganyan, e." And I didn't want my parents to see him drinking too much and got wasted—masyado pa naman yun bilib kay Giovanni coz he's simply this conservative guy they'd knew and the only guy who passed from their strict qualifications.

He deeply sighed and felt so sorry. He touched my face and kissed my forehead. Napangiti ako—sa sobrang traditional man ni Gio—he rarely kissed me on my lips for five straight years na magkasama kaming dal'wa. I liked it, really—he always let me feel this precious jewel he had na kelangang ingatan..

"Babe, I'm tired.. Thanks for the soup." Nagpahinga na rin ito pagkatapos makainom ng gamot dahil masakit daw ang ulo niya. Then I changed clothes saka nagpahinga na rin sa sarili kong kama—there are three beds in this room. Ipipikit ko na sana ang mga mata ko when my phone vibrated—seemed a file had been sent.

Nag-file naman ako ng leave sa trabaho, a. Sabay kaming nag-file—it just happened na magka-trabaho din kaming tatlo sa isang publishing company. Ayst, si Boss Sasha talaga, oo!

I swiped my phone and checked on the file.

Video.mp4

What? Puro naman pdf files ang mga documents ni Boss Sasha. Bahagya akong bumangon para i-check ang sender ng e-mail and turned out na hindi ito galing kay Boss.

I downloaded the file. Baka instructions or something. Inaantok na ako.. Maaga pa kami bukas—sabi mga 6am daw ang arrival ng yate na sasakyan namin patungo sa Isla De Uno.

The file opened and played, it's like a clip video from the bird's eye view. W-What's this? Napakunot ang noo ko lalo dahil hindi ko masyadong maintindihan ang clip not until I..I saw myself—that's me, right?

Binaha ako ng kaba! I stared at the ceiling of this room—pero wala naman akong makitang cctv or something. Oh Gosh! Nag-ibinalik ko ang mga mata ko sa video ay ito yung lumabas na ako to buy a cup of noodles..

My heart thrashed.

Giovanni reached Arya's head and k-kissed her on the l-lips.. A-Anong.. I paused the video! Hindi ko maipaliwanag ang nararamdaman ko ngayon—but evidently, I was shivering. Nanlalamig ako pero ramdam ko ang init ng pisngi ko ngayon habang nakatingin sa dal'wang natutulog ng mahimbing..

A-Anong ibig-sabihin nito?

I decided to continue the video but my eyes were clouded in tears now. My heart was slowly crumpled inside me..

Mukhang hindi naman ganun kalasing si Gio sa video—lalo na nung ito pa ang tumayo kasama si Arya and helped her..undressed! Pumatak ang luha ko pero hindi ko nilubayan ang cellphone ko kahit pa sobrang nanginginig ang kamay ko ngayon..

I covered my mouth as they started making sex!
