Henry
Isang araw pa lang ako rito sa palawan, i just got here a minute ago with my mom and dad, everyone was looking at me like i had some dirt on my face it was uncomfortable but i had a deal with my mom and i shouldn't back down
Tonight, i will finally get the chance to be happy
The staff here at the resort were very busy arraging for my wedding proposal, just now Stacey arrived at the resort i didnt see her cause i want to surprice her, she didnt know that i was also here with my family, we sent her a ticket for a vacation for 7 days And now shes here
At exactly 6:00 o'clock in the evening a staff informed me she saw her walk out or her room after receiving the letter i gave her and i made sure that she wont know that it was from me
i can see my parents from here at the floating house, they were at the valcony watching me from afar.. they were unhappy.. But they want me to be happy so they let me be!!. I love them both, i dont wanna be an unfilial son to them but i want to follow my heart, i wanna live at this moment of my life kasama ang babaeng mahal ko
Hindi na ako inugat kahihintay kay Stacey dahil namataan ko na sya sa dalampasigan she look so happy like she was expecting something, it made me happy, my heart welled with joy after seing her, she looked like an angel with her blond hair blown by the wind, the way she walk.. So elegant, so fascinating i can't tale my eyes off of her, thats why nakita ko rin na may lalaking lumapit sa kanya at hinila sya sa braso, i was about to rush to them dahil akala ko that man was harassing her but i thought wrong.. I stoped on my tracks ng makita kong masayang niyakap ni Stacey yung lalaki
I was so stunned i couldn't move, i cant utter a single word
'maybe they were just friends. Yeah just friend' bulong ko sa utak ko kahit na kalahati nito'y sinasabing hindi lang sila magkaibigan, may mas higit pa dun na ayaw ko lang malaman, i know i should trust her thats why.. Hindi ko bibigyan ng kahit na anong meaning itong nakikita ko. But that didnt also mean na babaliwalain ko na lamang
Tumingala ako at tinanaw ang kaninang kinaroroonan ng magulang ko, ngunit hindi ko nakita maski ang anino nila pero isa lang nasisiguro ko.. Nakita nila kong ano mang nakikita ko ngayong sa harapan ko
My tears fell down, my vision became blurry.. Its my fault, everything is my fault. Kong bakit ako nasasaktan ngayon ay dahil hindi ako nakinig sa mga magulang ko, pilit ko silang sinusuway, sinasagot ng pabalang, at hindi pinakikinggan. I should be blame for mistakes and accept the consequences of my actions
I was betrayed right before my eyes, my heart broke but i still wanna fight even though this fight will lead to do even more damages, even if it leaves me broken into pieces
I picked up my phone and dialed Stacey's number.. I saw her pick up her phone and took a glance on it, she heaves her breath up before answering, i am still looking at her thoroughly watching her evry move
"hello? Babe? Hi.. How're you?" she said in a cheerful voice, cause the guy keeps on tickling her from behind.. I eant to puch that guy on his face, but i dont wanna hurt Stacey accidentally and without knowing what was happening
"hi, im fine.. How bout' you? I came to your house but i didn't see there, where were you? I was worried" mahinahong sabi ko, luckily i manage not to sound hoarse or anything.. Just my not so normal voice according to her
"oh.. I uh, um.. I was with Frida right now, we went on her p-parents house.. Yeah there" yeah you were.. Its okay if you said the truth, i can accept it o kong wala sana ako rito sa lugar na ito at pinanonood sila ay ayos lang, mapapaniwala nya ako but... B*llsh*t
Sobra na, hindi ko na kaya
"oh!! Uh o-okay.. Do tell me when you get back, okay see ya'" then i hung up, wala na rin naman na akong iba pang sasabihin eh.. Baka makahalata pa sya
Pinanood ko silang umalis na nagtatawanan
'must be laughing at me right now!! Cause this fool has fallen to the trap they made'
Nang hindi ko na sila tanaw ay tumalikod na rin ako.. Kaharap ang dagat at nakatitig sa malayong kawalan, sinag ng buwan ang syang gumagabay sa puso kong kumikirot at nawawalan na ng pakiramdam
I heard footstep behind me, and everything lit up.. Everything that i set up for Stacey to see im sure it lit up like a thousand fireflies, even though i could not see it.. I know whoever sees it was happy, at kong ganun man ay natutuwa rin ako dahil may nagiisang natuwa sa dinami dami ng effort na ginawa ko sa buong buhay ko, all i did is to make my parents worry about me, i even broke their heart for my own selfish decisions and actions, i dont deserve to be their son
isang hakbang and everything drowned in the sea, specially me.. i was too hurt to think whats right and wrong, all i want is to end this pain in my heart
I can see no hope now!! Unti-unti na akong naubusan ng hininga, i have no energy para umahon kahit na kaya ko pa
*splash* I heard another splashed above the water surface and I saw a girl swimming to my direction, is she the ghost in the water that everyone talks about?.. She doesn't looked like one, she look.. Normal!!
She was wearing a thin satin clothing, that's almost see through
My breath hitch, then my vision became blurry right after the woman grabbed me
Zara
Naghahabol ako ng hininga ng maka-ahon ako mula sa tubig bitbit yung lalaking tumalon kanina, napakabigat nun grabe
"sir? Sir? gising!!" tawag ko at inalog alog ko pa sya, pero wala parin akong nakuhang tugon.. Bago ko naisipang I CPR na lamang sya, ginawa ko yung chest compression at sa bilang na tatlo ay ginawa ko yung mouth to mouth resuscitation, Paulit-ulit lang hanggang sa naramdaman ko syang gumalaw at naitulak ako papalayo saka sinukat yung tubig na nainom nya, gosh nakahinga ako ng maayos
"what the hell have you done?!!"  galit na sigaw nya sa mismong mukha ko imbis na magpasalamat..
'wow naman.. You're welcome ha!' bulong ko sa isipan ko, i didn't dare voice it out baka lalo pag magalit.. Pero wag nya lang ako punuin, di ko alam kong ano pa magawa ko
Napapalibutan na rin kami ng ilang mga tao at napapahiya na ako.. Mabuti na lang at wala akong make up ngayon at basa an buhok ko kaya siguradong walang makakakilala sa akin,
"are you stupid? What did you do?" singit ng isang babae, na halatang foreigner. At base sa pag-aalala nya para dun sa lalaking iniligtas ko ay magkakilala sila, o higit pa doon ang relasyon sa pagitan nila.. Kita ko rin ang pag-iwas nung lalaki ng akmang hahawakan nung babae sa braso, halata naman ang pagkapahiya nung babae kaya bumalik sa gawi ko ang paningin nya at mukhang ako ang pagbubuntunan nya.. So lame
"I ask you what did you do to him?" sigaw nya pero nanahimik pa rin ako
"I saw what you did and you-" pinutol ko ang sasabihin nya, naiingayan na ako
"nakita mo naman pala eh" i retort
"what?" oo nga pala, nakalimutan ko foreigner ang kausap ko
"i said.. You had seen what happened so why bother to ask, are you dumb?" haha  natawa ako sa reaksyon ng mukha nya, akala nya siguro isa lang ako sa mga tao jan sa tabi na pwede nyang tapak-tapakan at insultuhin na lang walang kaalam alam kong anong mali ang nagawa
"you-" magsasalita pa sana sya pero sinaway na sya nung lalaki
"cut-it Stacey, anong ginagawa mo rito?" galit na tumingin yung lalaki dun sa babae, hay ano ba ang gulo ah.. Mukhang may MU sila, as in misunderstanding haha ewan ba.. Maka alis na nga, bahala sila jan, i dont wanna be involve in this matter specially when that matter is love
Tahimik akong umalis, ni hindi nga yata nila napansin dahil matalim an titig nung lalaki dun sa babaeng baka Girlfriend nya, at yung babae naman ay nauutal na tila naghahanap ng palusot.. Tss tanga na yung lalaking yun kong maniniwala pa sa sya kong ano mang kasinungalingan na sasabihin nung Girlfriend nya halata naman na magsisinungaling sya, hindi ako bulag at hindi ako manhid, alam ko ang takbo ng utak ng kapwa ko babae
Bumalik na ako sa kwarto ko at nagbihis, saka pumunta sa main hall ng resort kong saan matatagpuan ang restaurant, naroon kasi sina dad at ang buong pamilya namin may dinner daw kasi dun with my father's friend na matagal nyang hindi nakita
I was on my way ng napahinto ako at tumango sa isang poste, nakita ko kasi yung lalaki kanina at yung Girlfriend nya na sumusunod sa kanya, at sa tingin ko ay magagalit parin sila kaya ayoko na munang makipag Cross na landas hangga't maaari
Napansin kong pumasok sya sa restaurant kong nasaan sina dad, so I have no other choice kundi ang magditour
Tinawagan ko si Densie a sinabing magkita kami, ang sabi nya ay pumunta na lang ako sa kwarto nya magpapatulong sa pagaayos ng mga gamit nya
Nanatili ako doon at nakipagkwentuhan sa kanya, napag-usapan din namin yun party.. Excited talaga sya eh wala akong magagawa
Ipinakita nya rin yung gown nya sa akin, sigurado magiging mas maganda iyon suot na nya

Pagkatapos nung nangyari sa dagat ay sobrang nagsisisi ako sa binitiwan kong salita matapos akong iligtas nung babaeng yun, i dont know kong anong pumasok sa isip ko at nasabi ko yun, nasigawan ko pa sya imbis na pasalamatan
Pero ang lalong ikinainis ko ay ang makita si Stacey, i dont know pero parang nakaramdam ako ng kaunting distansya sa pagitan namin, hindi na tulad nung dati, yung feeling na we were so close even when we're apart, say ngayon it feels like there's just a small string hanging between us and when it snaps everything will collaps, our relationship, and everything that connects us will fade
Matapos kaming magkita sa beach hindi na sya nawala sa tabi ko, para na syang buntot ko and keeps on annoying me everytime I see her looking and smiling to the man she's with at beach kani-kanina lang
Nung malaman nina mommy ang nangyari ay mabilis nila akong pinuntahan, bakas ang pag-aalala sa mukha nila and i feel guilty because they keep on asking what happened pero wala akong masabi sa kanila, at ilang minuto lang sila nawala sa paningin ko ay pagbalik ko kausap na nila si Stacey at nagpapasalamat.. It annoys me even more, she's taking credit for the things she did not do to gain my parents favor, and again.. I was useless hindi ko man lang nasabing hindi iyon si Stacey dahil unang una ay hindi ko kilala yung nagligtas sa kin' at hindi ko alam kong nasaan sya. And it made me realize na hindi nakita nina mommy ang nangyari sa beach bago yung tangka kong pagpapakamatay
What happened is so hilarious, I can't believe na isang babae pa ang magliligtas sa akin, nakakalalaki yet still fascinating..
Matapos naming mag-usap nina mommy ay agad din silang umalis at sinabihan akong sumunod sa restaurant para sa hapunan
"henry? Are you avoiding me? did I do something wrong that's made you ignore me? is it about the vacation? Or... Something else" she murmured the last part, I almost didn't hear it. Napahinto ako sa paglalakad at ganun din sya
"Stacey! I'm not mad about anything nor to anyone and I'm not avoiding you, I wouldn't be here at the same place as you if I was" kalmadong sabi ko suppressing my anger and hatred towards her. Ayokong malaman nya na alam ko na kong anong mga pinaggagawa nya behind my back, gusto nilang makipaglaro then be it.. Let's play the looser will pay
"really? Awe I love you babe"  bulong nya at akmang yayakap pero umatras ako, halata ang pagkabigla sa mukha nya
"let's go inside, naghihintay na sila"  sabi ko at nauna ng naglakad hanggang sa narating ko ang mesa nina Mom, with some unfamiliarly familiar people
I sat down not minding the sorrounding
"good evening everyone, sorry I'm late I'm not quite familiar with the place" bati ko
The middle age man smiled at me, and a quite old man at his side on the other end of the table made friendly laugh..
"is this your son Anitha? he's now grown up, the last time I saw him.. He was just 8 year old and being bullied by my five year old grand daughter"  what? I didn't remember someone bullying me when I was a kid
I look at my mom puzzled and she just laugh at me..
"yes that's him, James Heinrick.." mum said
"sorry po, I forgot to introduce myself.. My name is james Heinrick" pakilala ko, but they look like they already know me
