Pentacost Band Series #4 Euphonious Heartbeats

Island

I woke up with a heavy heart, but I still managed to get up to prepare. It's already eight in the morning and I was almost done arranging my things.

Kish helped me to pack my things. Panay ang bilin niya sa akin ng kung ano ano at ako naman ay tahimik lamang na tumatango at sumasang ayon.

"I already called the care taker. Chopper ba ang gagamitin mo?" Kish asked.

I stopped from applying a right amount of matte lipstick on my lips after I heard what Kish told me. My eyes screwed upwards to met hers.

"Free ba ang Chopper for today? If it is, then iyon ang gagamitin ko."

Tumango siya at tumalikod na para muling tumawag sa kung sino sino. I continued fixing my make up.

I am wearing a simple high-waisted short, white knitted halter top and gladiator sandals. I partnered it with my cardigan because it's still cold outside. I just let my hair down and prepare a crunchy just incase I need it later.

Isang shoulder bag at luggage na naglalaman ng mga gamit kong good for one or two weeks. I am still not yet sure if how long would I be gone. Baka kasi mamaya ay biglaan akong kailanganin sa Showbiz. Although, I already cleared my schedule for the whole two weeks para sigurado.

When Kish came back, nag simula na rin akong mag hakot ng ilang dadalhin. We called some bellboy to assist us. Pag dating sa rooftop ng building, nandoon na sa helipad and chopper na gagamitin ko.

"Hindi ka ba talaga sasama?" I asked Kish.

She shook her head immediately. "No thanks. Enjoy your vacation Miss, ako na ang bahala rito. Magbabakasyon rin ako!"

I nodded and smiled sweetly at her. "Take care, call me okay?"

Tumango siya at kumaway na bago ako pumihit patalikod para sumakay sa Chopper. Some of my bodyguards guided me carefully. Napabuntong hininga ako nang tuluyang umangat ang sinasakyan at umalis na sa lugar na iyon.

The whole time, my mind wandered around. I think about my job, my parents and all. Now that I left for awhile, I can't help but to feel relieved yet worried at the same time.

Relieved because I am now free for the mean time, and worried because I will be away for weeks and I am not going to be updated for what will going to happen at home. This is actually feels different.

Ni hindi alam ng Parents ko na umalis ako ng Manila. I didn't even texted them back, tanging ang mga ka-trabaho at iilang kakilala ang mga nai-message ko kagabi. I didn't bother to text them because it will only cause an argument. Ayaw ko ng ganoon as much as possible. Iniiwasan ko na nga ang stress dahil masyado na akong nade-drain sa mga nangyayari sa akin.

"How are you?" Manager Ryle asked from the phone.

My inquisitive eyes turned vague because of the sunlight that's hitting on my face. I used my left hand as a shield to not let the sunlight come to my eyes. I used my right hand to hold the phone to my right ear as I climbed outside the Chopper.

"I'm fine, Manager. Kakarating ko lang po."

Umihip ang pang tanghaling hangin, dahilan para sandali akong mapapikit upang pigilan ang pag pasok ng maliliit na buhangin sa mga mata ko. Sinikop ko ang buhok patagilid nang tangayin rin iyon ng hangin. Ramdam ko kaagad ang init ng araw na humahalik sa balat ng mahaba kong hita. Mabuti na lamang at nag dala ako ng cardigan at hindi ang braso ko ang maaarawan.

"Okay, enjoy your vacation. Congratulations again!"

I smiled widely as I signalled some of my men to bring my things inside the rest house.
