Right after Syke and Lee leave us and headed to the bartender’s counter, Betina on the other hand suddenly decided to leave as well.   “I think you guys have a lot of things to catch up so I better get going too and look some ‘take out’ to bring home.” He giggled and left.   And now I am alone with the person I never thought I’ll see again.

  I spent my whole day with Penelope. Being with her feels comfortable, it’s like home. It’s been a long time since I felt something like this to a woman. We just talk about her past relationship because I insisted. I know I’m starting to develop something towards her but I don’t want to entertain this feeling. I’m here for my brother’s wedding and nothing else.       I don’t know how long should I convince myself but this is for the better. Maybe I just feel something like this because she’s the first woman I felt connected with or maybe I just need to get laid. ASAP.      

Nakalipas na ang dalawang oras ay nasa biyahe pa din kami patungo sa Batangas. Napagdesisyunan kasi namin na mag tingin ng mga beaches sa Batangas dahil bukod malapit lang ito sa Manila ay maraming resorts ang mapagpipilian. Wala din akong ideya kung saanparte ng Batangas kami pupunta dahil si Syke ang nakipag usap sa driver kanina.During those hours, Casey and I watched movies on the other room while the three men stayed outside on the living room. They never really went to the room during our entire staying there at naisip kong plano talaga yun ni Syke.

Only the sound of the television is you can hear inside the room.In my peripheral vision, I saw Casey checked on his phone. Fuck. I am really boring him now?“It’s almost lunch, are you hungry?” He suddenly asked.It startled me since I thought he caught me wandering and not focusing on the movie.“Medy

The moment we leave the dining hall, Casey and I went outside and walk along the shore and watch the beautiful moon as it shines down the sea.“Ang ganda pa din ng lugar na’to ano?” wika ko habang nakatingin sa dagat.“Yes. Still beautiful just like before.” Pag sang-ayonsakin ni Casey.Habang naglalakad kaming dalawa sa tabing dagat, sadi inaasahang pagkakataon, napadaan kami sa lugarkung saan siya nagpropose sakin noon. Ang tinutukoy kong lugar ay ang daan na mukangputol na tulay patungo sa dagat. Gawa ito sa semento at di ganun kalakihan. Sa dulo ng putol na tulay ay parang nasa tapat mo ang napakagandang buwan lalona kapag bilog na bilog ito at sobrang liwanag.“Gusto mo pumunta doon?” yaya sakin ni Casey.Just like before. He said the same sentence before. After we went in that place and while watching the moon and beautiful sky above the sea, he suddenly kneels down in front of me and ask me to be his girlfriend while holding a necklace with a moon and star pendant.“Tara.” Mai
