Chapter 3

Nagising ako sa ingay ng mga huni ng ibon. Nakayakap ako sa isang unan at ito pa rin ang suot ko mula kagabi. Napansin kong, hindi ito ang kwarto ko. 
I stand up and leave the bed. Where am I? I was about to leave when I heard a man's voice behind me. 
"You're leaving?" I looked at him. May tuwalya siya sa kaniyang baba at topless. Napaiba tuloy ng direksyon ang mata ko. 
"Who are you?" I irritated asked. 
"Oh come on. After you vomit in my bed last night and say I love you to me, you're gonna say that thing huh?" I was shocked on what I've heard. 
"Did I say what?!" I almost shout. 
"I love you, but not my name. It's Ian I think?" he said, coldly. Nakapamewang pa siya habang nakaharap sa 'kin. "Eat breakfast with me," 
"No thanks. Sapat na ang mga ginawa ko kagabi at ginawa mong paghihirap. I gotta go," I immediately opened his room's door and run. Ano bang kahihiyan ang ginawa ko kagabi? 
Humingi ako ng susi sa labas dahil naiwan ko ang swipe card ko sa loob. Iniisip ko ang ginawa ko kagabi. Ang huling naaalala ko lang ay may naghubad na babae. 
I saw many a lot of chats and calls from Ziya. I clicked each of it and read. 
Calixziya: Hey. 
Calixziya: Dalia! 
Calixziya: Dalia Alcantara, answer the call! 
Calixziya: Hey, are you alright?! 
Marami pa iyon. I saw 20 missed calls from Calixziya last night and this morning. I decided to call her so she would know that I'm okay. Sinagot naman iyon agad. 
"Ziya--" 
[Where the hell have you been? Bakit di ka sumasagot sa tawag? Bakit di ka on? Okay ka lang ba? Jesus, Dalia. Ano bang ginawa mo?] 
Kakarindi ang iritasyon sa boses ni Ziya. I know she's just worried about me but, tumawag na nga ako at okay lang. 
"Nag-inom ako kagabi," I honestly answered. 
[What?! Edi lasing ka?] 
"Hindi ko alam kung tanga o bobo ka eh. Malamang lasing!" I shouted. 
[Haynako, Dalia. Oh eh, bakit di mo manlang ako tinawagan kagabi?] 
"I left the phone in my room. Nagising lang ako sa ibang kwarto kanina," 
[Ano? Kaninong kwarto?] 
"I don't know his name," I said. I stand up and prepare my clothes. 
[His?! Natulog ka sa kwarto ng lalaki? O my god, Dalia! Ang sabi mo ay magbabakasyon ka at magmo-move on, hindi mo sinabing maglasing at matulog sa ibang kwarto and worst, sa lalaki pa!] 
"Oh Ziya, will you please shut your talkative mouth first?" I irritated ordered. "Hindi niya ako ginalaw. Ako pa ang nakaabala kasi nagsuka daw ako sa kama niya. At kung alam mo lang, labis ang kahihiyan na nararamdaman ko ngayon," 
[Buti lang. Alangan naman maging proud ka pa na sumuka ka sa kwarto ng isang hindi kilalang tao] 
"Tss," 
[Oh eh, siguro naman naglasing ka dahil sa walanghiya mong ex 'no? At dapat pala di ko na sinend. Paano kung ibang lalaki ang nakadampot sa 'yo?] 
"Eh, yung mabait ang nakadampot sa 'kin. So, walang problema." I answered, boredly. 
[Nako, Dalia. Kung ako lang nandiyan kukurutin kita hanggang sa magdugo iyang tagiliran mo] I can sense the irritation of her voice. 
"Eh wala ka dito eh, walang problema," 
[Ponyeta ka, Dalia! Ibababa ko na 'to, uuwi ako sa Rizal. At pagkadating mo dito sa linggo, patay ka sa 'kin] 
"Wow, I got scared," I sarcastically said. 
[Psh. Babye, pasalamat ka mahal kita kahit baliw kang lintek ka]
She ended the call. I badly need to take a bath. I get my towel and went to bathroom. I opened the shower. May mga shampoo na doon na isang bote at sabon. May panghilod din. 
Mahigit thirty minutes din akong nag shower. Lumabas na ako ng banyo at sinuot ang inihanda kong damit. Now, I'm wearing a tangerine asymmetric top and a cherry red skirt. 
I don't want to swim. I went to the bar and apologized for what happened last night. Naintindihan naman daw nila iyon. Di pa nga pala ako nakakapag - breakfast. Naghanap ako ng coffee shop at umupo sa upuan doon. 
"One cup of cappuccino, please" I pleased. They told me to wait. 
"Here's your cappuccino, Mam. Enjoy," I just give her a nod. May nakalagay pa doon na note. 
'Have a nice day' 
I started to drink my coffee. I'm holding my phone when it suddenly beeps. I saw a chat from Ate Diseree. 
Diseree: I heard you're in a vacation? 
Dalia: yes, ate why?
Diseree: Nothing. Jade told me. 
I didn't reply. Hindi din malabong alam niya ang paghihiwalay namin. Ate Diseree is such a strict sister, especially when it comes to love life. Lagi niya akong pinapagalitan pag inaaway ko si Ian, noon. Ate Diseree is a CEO of our company in Manila. Kapartner niya si Dad sa pagpapatakbo noon. 
"One cup of latte," I heard a voice of a guy beside me. I glanced at the guy, he's looking at me with his cold eyes. I looked on my phone again, waiting Ziya to chat me. 
I heard him cough. I felt that he sit beside my chair. So, he's on the right side of me. Nakaramdam ako ng ilang. Why is he sitting beside me? 
"Uhm..." panimula ko. I saw him glanced at me without any emotion in his face. "... sorry for what I've done last night. I didn't know what am I doing because I was so drunk," 
"Okay. The next time you'll drink, make sure that you'll bring someone to take you to your room," he said in a cold tone. I just secretly rolled my eyes and mocked him. "Are you mocking me, Miss?" 
"Whatever," I just answer. 
Nakita kong iniabot nung babae ang coffee nung lalaking katabi ko habang nakangiti at tila kinikilig. Did they like this rude guy? 
"What are you looking at?" the guy asked. 
"Nothing. I just realized that..." Ano nga ba ang sasabihin ko? Ugh! 
"That?" he asked, waiting for my answer. 
"Nothing. You're the most masungit guy I've known," 
"Are you that rude to talk and not to pay respect?" 
"Oh. Am I rude? Well sorry, hindi ka naman kasi kagalang-galang," I faked a smile. 
I saw the crew formed their freaking mouth into 'o'. Why? Did I say anything wrong? I heard the guy chuckled and look at me. 
"Well... I guess you didn't know me," he stared at me. "I'm Cassius Alaric Fuego, the owner of this resort," he said while staring directly into my eyes. 
"Okay.. owner ka lang pala," 
After a second, I realized what I've said. "You're the owner of this resort?!" 
"I hate repeating what I've already said. But to answer your question, yes I'm a Fuego. I'm the son of the owner of this resort so obviously, I'm one of the owner of this resort. Understand?" 
My eyes widened. Oh why I didn't know himself first? You're so tanga, Dalia! 
"Still... not pleased to meet you," lakas loob kong sabi. 
He just drink again his coffee before leaving me. Inubos ko na din ang coffee ko saka tumayo para magpuntang umbrella. Gusto ko magpahangin at mag relax. 
***
I'm now at the umbrella, staring at the kids enjoying their swimming. Malapit din ako sa swimming pool. I keep on looking at them, I suddenly miss Deean. 
I saw a girl, getting her slipper. Hirap na hirap siyang kunin ito dahil inaalon. Papalapit ito sa direksyon ko kaya tumayo ako at kinuha ito para sa kaniya. 
"Here..." I handed her a slipper sandals. 
"Thank you po," she looks so cute. Mahinhin pa at mukhang mabait. She's wearing a long-sleeve swim shirt. 
"What's your name?" I asked her and she looks confuse. "Don't worry I'm a good person," 
"Ahh. Avery Riley po, ate. Ikaw po?" she asked in a sweet voice. 
"Her name is rude," That Cassius answered behind me. 
"Ate Rude po?" I glared at Cassius who's now trying not to laugh. I rolled my eyes at him and glanced at Avery. 
"No, Avery. I'm Dalia," The girl nodded. "Go ahead and swim I'll just talk to your Kuya Panget, okay?" Avery giggled and swim. 
I glanced at Cassius. He looks serious now. 
"Are you stalking me? Why are you here? Well, I'm not surprised. I'm so beautiful to liked by every guy," 
"Well I'm not surprised too," he coldly answered. 
"That I'm beautiful? Thanks for the compliment," 
"No. That you're an assuming. I'm not belong to the people who LIKES you," He even emphasized the word 'LIKES'.
My blood boiled. I want to punch him and slap but I can't. There's a lot of people here. I just didn't mind him and walked but I was walking when I heard his annoying voice again. 
"And by the way, the next time you'll talk to me, make sure you'll pay respect." 
I want to punch him a million times!
