Sky's POV
We're now at the airport, waiting for our boarding. I never thought of going to another country with these people—Hillary, Andrei, and Driana. Dati, iniisip ko si Sun at si Veia ang makakasama ko, but then, iba pala, pero masaya naman ako na sila 'yong kasama ko.
Andrei and Driana had told us already about their past. Kasi nakakapagtaka naman na isasama niya si Driana, eh parang ayaw nga niyang makasama 'to, eh. But after knowing their past, I and Hillary finally understood them.
I just realized falling in love with your best friend or your close friend will give two results. It's either you'll end up falling for each other or you'll end up avoiding each other. It always depends on the situation. You're lucky enough kapag pareho kayo ng nararamdaman, pero 'pag hindi, it can probably ruin the friendship you have.
"Are you now beneath the western Pacific Ocean in the southern end of the Mariana Trench?" Hillary suddenly asked.
I looked at her with confusion, "what are you talking about?" I asked her back.
"Tss, akala ko kasi nasa challenger deep ka na, ang lalim ng iniisip mo," she replied.
I smiled, "I'm just thinking about friendship over the romantic relationship," I said.
She suddenly stares at me and it makes me wonder why "what will you choose then? Friendship or romantic relationship?" she asked.
I looked at somewhere else, then I saw Driana and Andrei having a good time eating together. "I'll choose friendship," I replied. "Friendship never ends," I added and she just smiled.
Yeah, I realized we may never see each other, but she was once my best friend. For now, we are nothing, but soon, we'll be friends again.
That's why I don't believe that an ex-lovers couldn't become friends again. No, they still can be friends, but it takes time. When you totally moved on, forgive each other, forget about what happened, and you start to respect each other again, then surely, you can be friends. It's just a matter of maturity and acceptance.
"Good afternoon passengers. This is the pre-boarding announcement for flight QR933 to Doha Airport, Qatar. We are now inviting the passengers to begin boarding at this time. Please have your boarding pass and identification ready. Regular boarding will begin in approximately five minutes time. Thank you."
Finally! Nakakapagod din maghintay. And, since traveling to Madrid is almost 20 hours, then we need to take two flights. So, from MNL to DOH, then DOH to MAD. Ginusto namin 'to, so kailangan naming pagtiisan ang napakahabang byahe.

At last, we're here at Hotel Ritz Madrid! Damn, napakaganda! Sabagay, this hotel is one of the best and luxurious hotels here in Madrid.
"Let's stay here for three days. Then, aalis na tayo, we can stay at my Tita's place for the whole four months of our vacation. Sa ngayon kasi may business trip siya at sa susunod na araw pa siya makakabalik, then saka ko pa siya makakausap," Andrei said.
"Kaya pala ang lakas mag-aya na rito magbakasyon may kilala ka pala rito, ha," said Hillary while she's still roaming around, enjoying the beauty of this hotel.
Minutes after, we're finally in our rooms, but Hillary's still not in their room. We paid two twin rooms, magkasama kami ni Andrei sa iisang kwarto and so does Hillary and Driana. Gusto ni Andrei na twin room para makilala pa namin 'yong isa't isa and also the two women will know each other well. "Aren't you gonna go in your room?" I asked.
She shook her head, "natatakot ako kay Driana," she replied.
"Try to talk to her, Hillary, she won't bite you," I said, hiding my laughter.
She suddenly poked my cheek, "dapat gan'to ka na lagi, ha, ayoko 'yong napaka cold mo, nakakatakot," she uttered.
I pat her head, "I'm trying my best," I replied.
"Ba't andito ka?" said Andrei, who just went out from the washroom.
"Bawal ba?" she asked.
"Hindi naman, pero walang kasama si Driana ro'n," he sounded so concern when he said that.
"I'll take a shower first," paalam ko sa kanila, but before I went inside, I saw them mocking one another, but not so serious.
Then, I smiled.
They look good together.
Hillary's POV
Matapos akong makipagsuntukan kay Andrei—joke! Nagbangayan lang naman kami na puntahan ko na nga si Driana, eh ayaw ko nga! Kanina kasi kapag hinaharot ako ni Andrei, umaapoy talaga 'yong mga mata niya! Baka mamaya kung anong gawin no'n sa'kin, eh! Tsk!
Kaya lang, I'm so damn exhausted! I need to take a rest! Pero, ayoko talaga siyang makita. So, I went to the lobby alone.
"Hola!" sh*t, muntik na akong mapatalon nang may nagsabi niyan sa gilid ko. Tsk!
"H-Hola," I greeted him back. Damn, paano ko ba 'to kakausapin, eh hola lang din 'yong alam ko! Can he now get lost? Pero, ang gwapo niya! Sobra!
"Por qué estás aquí sola, hermosa dama?" aniya.
(Trans: Why are you here alone, beautiful lady?)
HA?!?
"Ella está conmigo," napatingin ako agad sa kaniya. Sh*t, marunong magspanish si Sky? Woah! Pero, ano raw ang sabi nila?
(Trans: She's with me.)
"En serio? Esta dama es tu novia?" sabi na naman nitong lalaking, super gwapo talaga. Ang ganda ng kulay ng mga mata niya, Hazel, a mixture of brown, green, and yellow. He has a straight-edged nose and pouty lips! Tapos ang ganda ng skin color, olive tan. Basta ang gwapo!
(Trans: Seriously? Is this lady your girlfriend?)
Napatingin sa'kin si Sky, "Sí, por qué?" aniya.
(Trans: Yes, why?)
"Tu novia es jodidamente hermosa, siempre la vigilas," he uttered, showing his damn smirk.
(Trans: Your girlfriend is damn beautiful, keep an eye on her.)
"Salir," Sky seriously said.
(Trans: Leave.)
He smiled at me, then he said, "me voy ahora, hermosa dama. Nos vemos alrededor!" then, he leaves.
(Trans: I'm leaving now, Beautiful lady. See you around!)
Buti na lang talaga hindi dumugo 'yong ilong ko!
"Oy, Sky, ano raw sabi niya?" tanong ko. Tumabi na rin ako sa kaniya. Kanina pa pala ako nakatayo. Tsk!
"You're beautiful," he replied.
I smiled so damn wide! Pati rin pala rito may makakaappreciate ng beauty ko.
He suddenly stood up and he said, "qué tiene de bueno? Tss!" tapos, bigla siyang umalis.
(Trans: What's so good about it? Tss!)
"Hoy, ano?!" tanong ko habang habol-habol siya, napatingin pa 'yong ibang andito sa'kin. Tss!!
"Eres realmente hermosa, pero también estás loca," he suddenly looked at me, "pero, tu locura me hace feliz," he uttered. Nagtaka ako nang magtawanan 'yong mga nakarinig sa kaniya! Tawa na parang may kakaiba, parang nanunukso?! Damn, baka pinapahiya na ako ni Sky!!
(Trans: You're indeed gorgeous, but you're also crazy. But, your craziness makes me happy.)
"Lagot ka sa'kin kapag natuto akong mag Spanish, Sky!" sigaw ko sa kaniya.
"Alright. I'll give you a reward if you can finally speak Spanish fluently," aniya at sabay na rin kaming pumasok sa elevator.
And, I ended up pouting. Ang hirap kaya ng Spanish! Tsk!
"Deja de pucheros. Te ves más linda cuando haces eso," tapos nauna na siyang lumabas.
(Trans: Stop pouting. You look prettier when you do that.)
"Wǒ hèn nǐ!" sigaw ko sa kaniya. Tinawanan lang ako! Don't tell me naintindihan niya rin 'yon? Sabagay, basic Mandarin lang naman 'yan, eh! Basic lang naman alam ko. Tsk!
(Trans: I hate you!)
Pero, bigla na lang akong napatigil. Ang sexy pala ng boses ni Sky kapag español ang gamit niyang lenggwahe!
HAHAHAHA! Sh*t!
