Irish POV
"STOP reading this corny effin' book of yours Irish! Nandito tayo para magbakasyon, meaning maliligo tayo sa beach ora mismo! Get up now!" I was shocked and stunned dahil hindi ko namalayan na nasa harapan ko na si Jaz, my cousin. I wasn't planning to go outside nor swimming on the beach, mas gusto ko pang magbasa na lang maghapon ng nobela at mahiga sa malambot na kama ng cabin ko. Wala sa sariling tumayo ako at sinunod ang nagkukumahog kong pinsan. A summer vacation, na hindi ko naman kailangan. As I step outside, a cold breezing wind greets me.
Because of Jaz presence, hindi na ko nakapagpalit ng damit panligo. Denim short, pink off shoulder top at sandals ang suot ko. And I know the policy here, hindi pwedeng maligo sa beach kapag hindi nakaswim wear. Jaz glared at me, and I smile to her instead of glaring back. I'm too lazy to go back and change, so I sat to the nearest bench. This is going to be a boring vacation, atleast for me. I'm busy staring at the beach when a man approached me "Hi, alone? Need some company?" hell yeah. "No, I'm not. I'm too fine for myself, so no thanks" I know it's mean but, knowing that kind of guy they won't stop not unless you leave them. So I did.
Halos lahat ng bench dito, ay occupied na. And I'm planning to go back already sa cabin na tinutuluyan ko. As I walked by, I saw the bar nearby. 4pm pa lang ng hapon masyado pang maaga para magpakalasing, babalik na lang siguro ako later. I sighed in annoyance, dahil imbes na bumalik sa cabin, I went inside the bar. "One classic martini and please put a lot of ice on it" I said to the lady bartender, while I'm resting on the high stool chair in the counter. "Coming right up Ma'am"
Now I felt like this is truly a vacation, and I have nothing to worry about. No strict bosses, no project deadlines, and so on. I can drink whatever I want, and that's what I'm doing now. "Another glass of classic martini please" the lady bartender nodded, well hindi ko na rin mabilang kung nakakailang baso na ko. When Jaz told me about this sudden vacation, I hesitated at first. I don't need a gooddamn vacation, but oh well I'm here already. And instead of swimming on the beach, I'm drinking here. The island is good, the resort too. "Here's your 9th shot of classic martini, Maam" 9th? my alcohol tolerance never seized to amazed me. 10, 11, 12 and lastly my 13th shot of glass. And after drinking 13 shots, I head my way back to the cabin.
While heading back and being drunk though I'm still sober, I walked towards the beach and stood still. What a beautiful scenery, the moon light up the whole beach and it made my heart at ease. "Excuse me" a man passed by and he bumped me, the heck ang lawak ng daanan oh! He went straight to the shore then the next thing happen is--- "Nooo!" I ran as fast as I could para mahila ang lalaking 'to na gusto atang magpakalunod. I'm sure he is, he's trying to kill himself by drowning. Sino ba naman ang matinong tao ang maglalakad papunta sa kalagitnaan ng dagat! We both breathing heavily as we lie down the shore. "I don't know if I should say thank you for saving me there or get mad at you for ruining my plan--" he sighed "my suicide plan" wait, what? "Suicide? Oh my gosh!" so tama nga ako, magpapakamatay talaga siya what a poor guy. "Well, I'm sorry for ruining your plan. Do it next time then, Mr. Suicidal" I stand up and glance at him before going back to my cabin. Is it a joke for him? Kung may mabigat man siyang pinagdadaanan sa buhay, this is not the best solution or an escape. Why would I even bother? sighed.
"Irishiela Martinez! What the hell? What happened to you couz?" My head is spinning and it hurts, and Jaz is casually shouting at me. "I got drunk you see, and-- got wet" Dumiretso agad ako sa banyo para maligo kahit masakit ang ulo ko. At wala akong balak na magkwento kay Jaz. After cleaning myself up, it's about time for me to sleep. And when I said sleep, long hours is needed.
Axis POV
"DAMN it! That woman ruined everything!" another loud punched was heard all over my cabin and I won't mind if my hands broke because of it. I think I need to call Ivan, the stupid owner of this resort. Hindi matibay ang pagkagawa ng cabin niya. I wanted to die, and everytime that I tried someone is always there to ruined it. Why can't I die? You see me right? I'm talking to you, yes you the man above. Let me die please. What the? This is shit! Tears? Myself is ruined, the hell with it. I'm tired, and when I close my eyes I fell asleep.
I woke up with a nightmare, and they still haunts me. Kahit ako hindi ko patatahimikin ang sarili ko kung sakin nangyari yun. And it's 5pm already and shit! I slept in. I took a quick shower to help myself forget the failed attempt last night though my mind is still hasty. I went outside after changing. I keep on walking until I finally here, the island hidden gem. It is a three-story wharf viewing platform over the ocean, connected to the land by a long boardwalk. From here, you can look down the coast to the east for sunrise or to the west for sunset. And it's time for sunset now. "This is the best sunset eveeeer" fucked up! I was startled and about to throw a punch for whoever own that voice. Not my best sunset anymore, what a bad day. "Is this your first time seeing a sunset? Why so loud woman?" Her eyes widen as she looks at me and mind if I tell you that she has a dazzling hazel nut eyes. No, erased that. She's still the woman who ruined my plan, and I won't praise her for that. "Oh-- hello to you too, Mr. Suicidal" what? damn!
"Shut up and leave" I guess, she's taken a back of what I said. "And why would I? I personally know the owner of this wharf, and it's not YOU" oh well, she's not. "I'm badly want a quiet place, and hearing your loud voice makes me think of not having it" she sighed, and to my surprise she started walking back. And guilt starting to manifest me. "Hey! Come back" she stop walking, and she looks back. "What now? You said you want a quiet place right? I'm giving you that" oh woman! "It's okay, you can stay. I don't have the right to ask that anyway" She smiled at me, and suddenly my heart beats like crazy. "Thank you, now let's enjoy the remaining minutes of the stunning sunset" hearing my heart beat being so loud right now is crazy. Anong ginawa sakin ng babaeng 'to? And to avoid hearing this, I looked up the sky.
"Sunset is gone" she said in a low tone voice that made me chuckled. "And why was that, Mr. Suicidal?" Now her loud voice is back, much better. "Nothing. And don't call me like that, I have a name" yes I am suicidal, and I'm planning to do it again it's just that I don't want her to call me like one I don't know why. "Well its suits you, that's why I'm calling you that. And don't blame me for it, because you are the one who made it. Your life is not yours, it is God's property. So don't you ever think of doing it again, coz I'm telling you it's not worth it. Wait for the right time that God will take it. Wait, just wait" I literally froze and wanted to say a word but no words come out. The only thing that I did was watching her back as she run away.
