34
" Why are you crying, little sis?" My Brother Nathan told me while I was having a moment with my dad in the living room. Actually the guests were leaving now, but I'm still here, spending the rest of the day with my dad.
" Fuck you, Kuya Nathan!" I rolled my eyes while he was having his cup of coffee.
" Oh, Dad! Look at your daughter!" He even shook his head, feeling disappointed.
" Sweetie, language!" My mum suddenly came from the outside. Maybe she was taking care with the guests.
" Mum, were my bestfriends went home already?" I asked to her.
" They already did, Sweetie." She replied to me that made me frowned. I never get the chance to say good bye to them! UGH!
" Zoph... Zophiya? Is it her name?" She asked me and gave me a paper bag. What is this? I will just open it later.
" Are you ready, sweetie?" My mum sat beside with me and placed her hand on the top of mine.
The next thing I knew that I was with Gilbert's family, talking and eating dinner. Actually he was beside with me during the whole conversation!
" So, how's your study, hijo? Are you doing great?" My dad asked to him who was in my left.
He cleaned his mouth using clean cloth before he answered my dad, " Uh! Yes, Mr. De Verra. Actually I am doing my best to finish my pre-med so I can be in Medical School on time po."
I was so getting nervously at the whole time. What if I didn't answer his parents' question for me too? What if I will fail? What if I will stutter? And also why I care?! We are not in a relationship.
" By the way what is your residency, Gilbert, hijo?" My mum suddenly asked to him.
He glazed confidently at my mum, " Surgical po."
" That's great! Isn't it dad?"
" How about you, mi hija?" His dad interrupted that made me froze. My heartbeat was getting faster. UGH!
I was looking to my mum who was waiting for my answers and after I glazed my sight to her, I looked to my brother Nathan who was playing with Savannah, Ate Lita at Kuya Roland's daughter, near at the pool.
" I... I'm actually taking business administration and I will inherit of my family's company, Mr. Villaflor." I looked at my dad and smiled at him.
I saw my dad how he was surprised because of it. I placed my hand on the top of his.
We were talking like that. Exchanging some statements, and also they even ask that when Gilbert will propose to me! If they will just know that we don't have a relationship already. And also Alora and Ezekiel were playing with my brother Nathan after we talked about it.
And now I am in the outside of the mansion already. I just want to breathe some fresh air because I'm slowly breaking up the chains wrapped around my body. It feels so fucking good getting over things I thought that I'd never fucking get over with. Who couldn't believe that I could survive with the things I never thought I will?
I heard a cough as I felt someone stood beside with me.
" Stars are really amazing, right?" He suddenly asked me while glazing up in there. " Even though they couldn't see each other, at least they have the stars to look up for. They even realized that while they are looking at those beautiful, shining stars they are thinking of each other."
The breeze outside was that cold and also his statement made me froze. This is the first time again that my heart beat like this again! I don't know what was going on to me right now. UGH!
" Yeah! They think though." I answered to him.
" Change topic for that, how's your mama and my mum are that really close? Even our dads!" I furrowed my brows because I remembered after we immediately have a conversation, our dads really, really talked to each other. UGH!
He shrugged, " I really didn't tell them that we broke up. Because I didn't believe that it really happened," he said to me while he was still looking at the skies.
I immediately glazed my sight down. Did he really deserve that pain back when we were in High School? My heart suddenly softened and my chest was like punching that made me silent.
" You still wanted to know about the Paradise, Gilbert?" I asked him as I gave him a smile full of relief and happiness.
" Vamos! Vamos!" My brother, Nathan, was shouting to us because we were on the ship ramp. We were walking on a wooden bridge, I can see a seaplane. It was so windy here!
It was already the event of team-building of our company. My mum told me last time that this one will be a luxurious than the past event. I can remember that the co-employee was riding through private bus but now a seaplane!
I gave my two suitcases to Kuya Roland because Ate Lita was holding Savannah on her arms.
We were now inside and Gilbert was beside with me. I can see long and some couches and of course a television. A presentable table with a glass vase with a tulip inside of it.
" Bro!" My brother called him. He went out to the cockpit. They even fist-bumped which made my eyes rolled.
" My wife," He told to us. This was my time to see her again after their wedding at the States! She is still so gorgeous and stunning with the captain's wear! " She will be our first-officer." And after he introduced he gazed at me, " And I will be your captain."
I kissed the both sides of First Officer De Verra's side cheeks. We were talking about girl's things while my brother and Gilbert were talking to the aisle.
" Ms. Katie," First Officer De Verra called a woman who was wearing a flight attendant wear. I know it because it was my childhood dream. So I'm amazed to look a wear in front of my two eyes.
She bowed, " Yes, Ma'am? What do you need? Coffee or Tea?"
" I just want you to introduce, Ms. Natasha Shane De Verra, Mr. De Verra's sister," She even used a hand to say that. I just stood still while giving a smile with her.
" My hubby told me that this was your dream profession, right?" First Officer De Verra asked me that made me shock. Kuya Nathan was that loud and annoying! UGH!
I nod at her slowly, " Yes po,"
" Perfect!" She went inside to a cockpit again to look for something and seconds passed, she came back with a paper and a familiar wear. " My Captain husband told me that I should give this to you. You will be a flight attendant for a day! Here is the script," She gave me and I read it. I breathe heavily because this time was a precious to celebrate for! I am so grateful that made me hugged her.
" Thank you," I whispered slowly to her.
" Hello, this is your captain speaking. Welcome aboard. We are departing for Maldives. In command of this aircraft is Captain De Verra with my beautiful wife, First Officer De Verra. Our flying time is approximately 6 hours and 28 minutes and Vishal cruise and an altitude of 41,000 feet at an airspeed of 200 miles per hour. I'll talk to you again before we reach our destination. Until then, sit back, relax and enjoy the rest of the flight. Please be easy with my sister who is a flight attendant for today. A warm welcome to the employees and staffs on board."
My brows furrowed when my brother Nathan really special mentioned me! I was just smiling at the employees because they deserved that, but for my brother, I will just give him a fucking fake smile.
" We shall now..." I looked to them nervously and I glazed my sight to the Flight Attendant, Katie, who was giving me a smile. I looked to Gilbert, and he was even filming me! UGH!
" We shall now be showing you... the safety features... features of this... aircraft." Why I'm doing this for? Some seats have only seatbelts to be fastened for! And this is a fucking seaplane! " Fasten your seatbelt, push the ends together. To tighten, pull loose ends off the strap. To loosen, tilt buckle and pull to unfasten." Ate Katie showed them while I was reading it. My skirt also were that short even it's a little bit above the knee for me.
" You're so great! And good! And best!" Gilbert mentioned to me while I was seriously looking outside in the skies.
" Excuse me," I suddenly whispered to him.
" Where are you going? Can I come with you?--" He stopped when I held his wrist to drag him.
We went to galley and I saw Katie who was preparing champagnes for them. After she saw my burning and irritated eyes, she immediately took his silver cart and went to the passengers.
" I'm too clichè to say this, but why mad?" He furrowed his brows and placed his hand on his waist.
" My fucking brother really just fucking played with me! I looked so dumb earlier! I just fucking realized that this is a seaplane not an airplane! If that makes sense..." I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms.
He chuckled and suddenly put his left hand on the top of my head. " You look cute while you're doing that,"
My eyes were burning and irritated when I looked at him when he mentioned that.
" Okay! Fine... but I think you're brother was just tripping you? Or... he was just experiencing you the dream that was scrapped?" He mentioned to me calmly. " Come here," His arms were widely opened. I directly went there and he wrapped it tightly. " It's literally great, Natasha. If I would be a surgeon for a day why not grabbing a chance, right?"
I just rest my face on his shoulders. " Still I fucking hate him."
He gave me a chuckle and caressed my hair. We just stayed like that for how many minutes and we came back until I slept.
I woke up when I felt someone was hugging my whole body. I will gonna remove that hug but I realized it was Gilbert who was hugging me.
I must thank my parents because we were sleeping at the place where no one can enter.
I looked him in the eye again and I remembered the flashback to my head. A flashback that was the cause why I broke up with him. A flashback also where I broke up with him in the Lakandula.
Seconds passed from caressing his hair, I suddenly smiled. Could I forgive him after what he did to me? I immediately erased that thought because I will just gonna have a fucking bad mood.
I glazed my sight outside and I can see the sunset now. It was like we're swimming in the clouds.
I felt that the hug was getting tighter that made my brows furrowed.
" Fuck off!" I whispered to him and I heard a soft chuckle.
I was now moving his arms away but I still couldn't even though the hug wasn't that tough now! UGH!
I just rest my eyes and when I opened it, I saw a bright light on my face. What the fuck! I didn't even have the chance to saw the whole place! Did they just fucking brought me here? And who the fuck did?
I was shocked when a familiar man went outside of the comfort room. His towel was wrapped around his waist leaving his whole upper body naked.
" Fuck!" I shouted while the comforter was covering my eyes.
" Sht!" He shouted and he immediately went again back because I heard the door closed. I sighed heavily when I didn't saw him again.
I was now getting my suitcase that was beside of the large television. I was so shocked too that this hotel room was that fucking big!
" Hey! Saan ka pupunta?" He asked immediately to me when I was going to the door.
" I'm going to my fucking dad!" I rolled my eyes to him.
Pinapatuyo niya ang kaniyang buhok gamit ang towel na ginamit niya kanina. " They said to me that they will have a honeymoon," he pursed his lips. " You know... married couple things." He even gave me a winked.
I opened the door now successfully, " I will just gonna go with my brother then," I will now go there when I saw him ran and closed it.
" They are too!" He gave me an awkward smile.
I was now going to speak until he stopped me.
" Wanna go outside?" He asked to me while my hands were in my waist.
" Why would I say yes?"
" Because... uhm... you asked to me that I will gonna learn more about the Paradise, right?" He questionly replied to me. I immediately thought of it and I need to be open with him.
I rolled my eyes and walked slowly. " I will gonna take a shower." I shouted. " And kindly put my fucking suitcase back."
" Shore!" He replied to me that made stopped walking.
" Shore?!" My brows furrowed. What was that? Was he cursing me?!
" Sure..."
Minutes passed from laying my whole body at the bathtub I was now in outside. I just wore a plain white romper paired with a floral cardigan. I'm also wearing wedge boots and sunglasses even though it was already night.
I looked to Gilbert who was still standing beside the bar stool. I think he looks pissed because I soak my body that long. I smirked even though he didn't see it and I curled my hair now.
I was smiling at him while curling the bottom of my hair to be more gorgeous. And after few minutes, he was now sarcastically smiling at me.
" Let's go now?" He asked while I am sarcastically smiling.
" Wait!" I told to him and I went for my suitcase. I took my Dior perfume and also the Bloom Eau de Parfum.
I stood still in front of him. " Wrist," I commanded. His brows furrowed and he was so curious. " I said wrist."
" Mad?" I pouted.
" I won't be mad at you," He shook his head and he showed his wrist now.
" Okay!" I smiled. I sprayed now the two perfumes in his wrist.
" What smell defines 'Natasha'?" I asked him while saying it. My brows met each other when he replied nothing.
" What the fuck? Like nothing?"
He went now to the glass table and showed his perfume.
" Want to try this one?" He asked me and showed the Jo Malone Lavenderland.
" Oh my fucking god! How did you get this? This is a fucking limited edition!"
" My dad bought it for me. I love lavender scent nowadays though."
" Can I spray it?" I asked him, pouted.
" Just spray enough, okay?" He questionly replied and gave me the limited fucking edition.
I sprayed it to my neck, wrist, body, and to my back. I saw now that he looks like how I saw his face earlier.
" Oh! Sorry!" I chuckled.
I saw that he just shook his head. Probably disappointed ones now.
We were now in a private elevator, going down. The whole elevator smells lavender now because of me. And I remembered the smell of it.
The elevator opened and we were walking now. The hall was having large, bright lights, and some golden sofas. I think this was a private hotel because I couldn't see many people like I always did.
" I know that this is weird order, but can I smell... you?"
He didn't stop walking which made me irritated.
I went to his front like what he always did to me when I'm walking away. " Please?" I pouted. " Please. Please! Just one smell!"
He shook his head. " ... Please?" I cutely smiled.
He sighed and whispered, " Shore."
I quickly smell him and wait! What the fuck?!
I smelled my wear and... fuck! We have the same smell! UGH!
" Did we have the fucking same perfume--" I will gonna ask him again but suddenly Ate Lita and Kuya Roland came to us. They looked good in Hawaiian dress. They were so awesome!
" Hi, Kuya Roland!" Gilbert greeted him and gave him a wave. " Cute-y cute-cute, Savannah!" He even pinched Savannah's cheek that made my arms crossed.
" Ma'am Tash!" Ate Lita called me while she was swinging Savannah back and forth.
I immediately smiled because this Gilbert was pissing me off!
" Yes, Ate Lita?" I asked her.
" The suitcase ma'am is already beside your television po. And if you need something, I'm one floor upwards po." She mentioned to me.
" Okay! Those were meaningful ones. Thank you!" I immediately grabbed Gilbert's wrist because he did not stop talking baby-talk to the sleeping Savannah! UGH!
I was dragging him to go outside when I saw a familiar face, " Earl..."
I turned around him so we cannot face him.
" Why are you so weird now?--" I stopped him.
" Can you just shut the fuck up?" I rolled my eyes while holding his wrist and walking away from that bullshit Earl.
" Shore!" He chuckled and immediately stopped when I gave him burning eyes.
Lumilingon ako sa likod ko para malaman ko kung lumiko na ba siya.
" Natasha, dahan-dahan!" He whispered to me until I bumped into someone.
I slowly looked at them.
" Avie! Jah!" I was shocked when Gilbert named them.
" Oh, hi Mr. Guest!" The girl waved to him which made my mood burning again. Even though that was my parent's employee. What if I will be a CEO now and maybe I will gonna fired them? Just one touch Ms. Avie and I will do it.
" Avie!" She said her name, suddenly gave me a hand and slowly retreated it when she noticed that I don't want to.
They were talking for minutes and minutes and minutes. I thought Gilbert wanted to know the paradise, huh?! Bullshit!
This is the time that I really don't want to. The 'Ms. Avie' was laughing and chuckling to Gilbert.
" Yep! Actually, my madam and boss' son has a private sand bar here. We should go there!" Avie mentioned to Gilbert and he was just nodding and looks so interested.
" Your dress shirt has a crease. Let me fix it," she added. She even fucking rubbed Gilbert's shoulder where the crease was located.
I stuck my tongue out, rolled my eyes. And I walked out.
My feet were suddenly running, going outside of the private hotel. I don't fucking care now if Earl can see me. I don't fucking care if someone bumped me. I just wanted to go away from that stupid liar! I really fucking thought that he wants me to know, huh?!
I was now walking in the sand. The full moon was one of the sources of my beam. There, I can hear the waves, freely swimming in the ocean. I can hear some birds too.
I didn't know that a tear fell from my eye.
" Stupid, Natasha! Why did you let him again destroy you?" I whispered to myself while running and running until I came to the seaside. I just... saw Taya's silhouette to her... After all, the trauma is still living inside of me. I am scared.
I immediately sat and wrapped my arms around it on my knees. The last time I was like this was when my most painful and grievous night came, and I'm just crying so hard. My chest was now getting heavier. I fucking hate this feeling!
I was just looking at the glowing beach. It has a touch of blue. My sight was kinda fucking blurry because of these tears.
" Hey!" I heard a familiar man was saying that. Catching his breath probably because of running.
" Why did you left?" He questioned me. Curious.
I was just silently there until I sob.
" Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you!" I punched the sand three times. I wanted to break the chains again that were forming in my heart. Fuck!
" Hey!" He immediately held my hands tightly so I cannot punch it again. I was removing it so hard but I couldn't.
I stood now and trying to punch his chest while he was holding both of my hands. " Fuck you!"
" Hey! What did I do?" He asked me, calmly.
" What a liar, huh!? You still didn't change! Fuck you!" I cried so so much while saying it.
I bit my lip. " Stop hurting me... please!"
He immediately hugged me while my hands were on his chest. His arms were tightly wrapped around my body.
" Please don't enter my life again if you will just fucking hurt me. I'm so fucking drained!" I cried to his chest. " Fixing myself up wasn't that easy for you to destroy me again."
" Hey! I know that." He caressed my back repeatedly.
" I got to admit that I still have a feeling... a feeling left that I know will break me again. And yeah! It did!" The tears continued falling from my eyes.
" Just please... please fucking go away, you goddamn cheater! And you fucking liar! I was baited by your affirmation! I really fucking thought that you wanted to know me! To know the Paradise you've said!" My knees were getting weaker and my hands were shaking.
" I... didn't cheat." He whispered to me like he didn't do it. Like he didn't cheat when we were in high school.
" Stop lying!" I was now punching his chest again even though my hands were in between him and me. " Just fucking stop!"
" Just listen to me okay?" He made me calm and just caressing my back. " I didn't lie to you darling. I never cheated on you on that day."
" Wow! Fucking really, huh?! I fucking saw it with my two eyes! Two fucking eyes!" I was now pushing him away from the hug and I was now free.
" I'm sorry." His voice cracked now while holding back his tears.
" You... you know that I really, really love you, right? Then I just saw that you were kissing her in front of my eyes! And you have the guts to show at me after the exams!"
I was wiping my tears using both of my hands, " Do you know that the kiss of you and Taya always follows me? Do you know how hard it is also to take a fucking exam after that devastating event of my fucking life, huh?" I pointed him repeatedly and he was just there, standing still.
" And now you still have the fucking guts to say that you wanted me to know? What kind of word what you want me to say, so you will stop hitting girls? So you will fucking stop because when you were talking to other girls, I am hurting that much? Huh!? Give me a fucking word!"
" I... I'm sorry," He said hardly. His eyes were now falling into tears.
" Stop! I don't want to see you fucking again! I'm fucking drained and I'm fucking done with you!" I shouted to him so he realized that I was too hurt.
I was now walking away from him, and I am planning to get my suitcases and just sleep in Kuya Roland and Ate Lita's hotel room until he mentioned to me that made me froze.
" I was hurt too!" He was not stopping his tears to fall and just freely dripping them to his face. " Seeing my darling froze and dropped the boxes that we will gonna eat together because of that stupid kiss. Seeing my darling walked away even I am stopping her so badly because I don't want her to leave by my side. Seeing my darling who was in tears, crying because of my fault. I was hurt to see you like that."
" And now, Seeing and hearing you cursed at me, punching my chest was like my Pandora's box." He bit his cheeks. " I never believed that we broke up because I'm still believing that you love me. I don't care about all the words you will throw at me. Why? Because I love you. Mahal kita. Mahal na mahal. At hinding-hindi ko hahayaan na mawala ka ulit sa piling ko.
I sighed heavily and he spoke again that made me shivers.
" So, please. Give me another chance and I would prove to you and show you the best that I am," he begged to me. " If you couldn't, I hope that was for now."
I bit my lip because I saw how he mentioned those words. His eyes were shining and reflecting.
He whispered enough so I can hear it. " I could never cheate on you."
