Pink Skies

Zwanzig.

They're all in awe nang makarating sila sa resort.

It's peaceful and quiet.

Agad nanakbo papuntang shore sina Abi at Bri. Sumunod naman dito si Ate Calli. Sila lang ni Ate Raja ang naiwan sa may van.

Tatawa tawa lang si Ate Raja habang kinukuha nito ang gamit sa likod ng van.

"Hindi ka susunod don, ate?" She asked.

Umiling ito saka lumingon uli sa tatlo. "Mamaya na. Inaantok pa ako e. Ikaw ba?"

"Mamaya na lang din siguro kapag naayos ko na mga gamit ko."

"Hey, banana. Are you done?"

Napalingon silang dalawa kay Thorn.

"Banana?" She asked, brows knotted.

"Raja banana." Thorn answered and patted Ate Raja's head.

"It's his endearment." Ate Raja seconded and rolled her eyes at Kuya Thorn. But she's smiling.

"Hala, ang cute naman." She said.

"Wait until you heard Rama's endearment to Calli." Saad ni Kuya Thorn saka kinuha kay Ate Raja ang maleta nito.

Sila kasi ang kumausap sa reception. Cam is with them and Caer is near at the shore. While Thorn, Rama and Ramses were all at the receptionist area.

Magkaka-sunod silang tatlo nila Cam at Ate Raja na pumasok sa lobby. Nilapitan naman agad siya ni Ramses saka kinuha ang travelling bag na dala niya.

Maya maya lang ay sumulpot ang dalawang pinsan niyang si Abi at Bri na kasama si Caer.

"Where's my Dutchess?" Kuya Rama asked.

"Nag-cr." Sagot ni Abi.

Dutchess is Ate Calli? Adorable!

"Rae, Rae. Look!" Bri called her while showing her the shells she picked up.

"Nanguha ka nanaman ng shells." She said.

"Collections, ano ka ba!" Saad ni Bri.

She crinkled her nose. "May space pa ata dun sa isang stand sa shop."

Malamang sa malamang, sa shop nanaman nito ilalagay yon.

Bri is actually the one who designed Danke, while Abi was the one who drew the structured the shop.

You see, Bri is an interior designer and Abi is a licensed architect.

Hindi lang halata, pero totoo yon.

"Yey, thanks!" Bri said. And asked for a jar where she can put the shells.

"Babe? Let's go?" Ramses asked her in which she nodded.

Like the usual, he's carrying their bags. And his other hand is intertwined to hers.

He stopped walking.

She looked from his back. "Bakit?"

Ramses lips twitch. "Bri booked one room for us."

"Oh, okay."

Ramses looked at her liked she grew another head.

"What?"

"Bri booked one room for us." He repeated.

"Oo nga? Di ba, sabi mo kanina."

"Never mind." He said and continue walking a few steps before sliding the key card.
