“ Hmmm…what a full of excitement and thrill…” Rovic teased him while acting like a teenager with so much romance excitement by waving his waist shaking it over and over again…” huh! am so super “kilig” to the bones.”

Before they separate that day they agreed with something.

Friday night.

As it was agreed upon. It’s a weekend getaway for their three of closest friend.

Basically, a group will go for an outing knows already the destination. But for them it’s quite funny and full of fun as while on the travel that’s the time to decide where it will be. On a last minute got it.

Billy suggested to hang it out in the Cave Rohana Beach Resort. This is the old resort in their town. Most likely fantastically classic.

While Rovic mentioned Double Five Palm Resort. It was established more than five years ago. This place was cozy with its beautiful prosperous nature.

But in the end Sid has a good choice which is the newly one opened. Billy and Rovic has no objections. In fact, both agreed it's better to go round and explore in the new greeny environment.

Welcome to Seed Palm Hill Resort. Their exact destination is over after almost one hour. It was located in Diguisit Beach in the Southern part of Baler, capital town of Aurora Province. On the way, you just really wonder in the natural green spots, clear blue breathtaking sea waves where issurfers love most. The green leafy of acacia and talisay trees sways in the wind, while dry leaves begin to fall into the shore where the scattered white stones and seashells had different shapes and colors.

“ Here we are! Bro...please confess to us as we will not wonder if this is your another property. “ Billy is not tired of making a joke every time.

“ Actually bro…one time when I was on the road I saw it through hanging tarpaulin that time it is soon to be open…that name got my attention also and I asked myself “ Is this mine? Am I so? “ laughing Sid who tap the shoulder of Billy then laughs.

“ Let’s get in brothers! I’m eager to see, you know I got it from you Sid… I love also hot chicks...that’s our weakness hahaha “ a brittle laughter from Rovic.

They plan to stay there until Sunday afternoon. It’s a long while bottle fight drinking get it on. Let’s see who will left awake and not crawling in the sand going back to the room.

“ See! She’s versatile “ Rovic was admired to the beautiful face of the Receptionist. The lady has a fair smooth skin, tall, straight long hair and a pointed nose. It is similar to the face of popular young actress Loisa Andallo.

“ Bro it seems you want to taste it “ that’s Billy laughing

“ Why not if possible? “ Rovic is now too much laughing as well

“ Crazy men “ Sid obviously gets amusement which starts laughing

“ Yeaahh…you belong, remember we got it from you Sid “ both Rovic and Billy teasing

They had occupied each room for each one of them. It’s a side by side.

Room 208 – was occupied by Sid

Room 209 – was occupied by Billy

Room 210 – was occupied by Rovic

It’s a rule of something privacy. That’s given to become a private person when necessary it doesn’t mean that even though a closest friends in the world, you shall always preserve left something for yourself only.

Before lunch each of them is already in each occupied room.

Having siesta time! while fixing personal things.

Incredibly beautiful !!! these two words said after Sid opening the window.

He exposed to the blue and shiny ocean while the coconut palm trees is serve as a shade. On the right side of the wide swimming pool where you can see the brownies hills actually this is a man made only but it looks a natural inborn chocolate hills. It is catchy- friendly for children who wants to play with.

Embracing the fresh air is absolutely amazing feelings. The cold sea breeze, gently sounds of thumping waves. The seashore which engraving different memories. Marking different footsteps that is a sign of various circumstances and challenges passing through the life.

Around 3:30 in the afternoon when he received a call from the telephone.

“ Dude what’s up? “ Billy is on the other line.

“ Yes! Yoww…dude ? “ Sid has replied

“ Let’s go to the bar near to the beach. “

“ Go ahead with Rovic. I’ll come there later as I need to fix something. “

“ Ok dude! See you there “ the line was cut already. He sat down in the side of the bed. The fact that he only made a reason because his mood is not in good condition at the moment.

He doesn't know why after he looked at the window earlier, reflect for some thoughts. He felt loneliness in the heart but he could not find the exact reason why? Or it is possible that he knows the reason but always choosing to be blind at all. Pretending every time.

Does he longing for someone?

Does he feel emptiness?

“ Why self? You have a lot…You have money…You have girls come over to you…so! what is your problem Sid? “ self - confession is real for him. Sid is full of sentiments into himself.

He’s like a foolish. Most of the time only women experiencing “really loves making emote “ but now, he knew that not only a woman passing through in this stage. Everyone can be a victim.

At exactly six in the evening. He went to the bar as he promised.

“ Dude…Bro “ they called Sid. Sid quickly comes to the table. If he was not mistaken there are four girls in the table occupied by Rovic and Billy.

“ Sid I would like you to meet Lucy, Zia, Joy and Vina our new friends “ Billy and Rovic was introduced to him.

“ Hi Sid “ that was Lucy

“ Hello Sid “ that was Zia

“ Hi handsome “ that was Joy

“ Hello pogi “ that was Vina

Each of the girl had shake hand to him.

“ Nice meeting you ladies “ Sid is smiling. His eyebrows was look up when noticed that the girl named Joy was looking at him. It was sticky gazing so as long as he can keep away himself in the woman so he knows the usual moves of the girl like this.

It’s really, time is coming that self would be changed for something and will get tired of usual habits in life. He’s getting matured enough may be as he’s not getting any younger as well.

There are people close to him knows how pure his heart in spite of his arrogant and rude attitude.

On the next day. Rovic did not escape to Sid. They are current eating in the Havana Restaurant.

“ You are different dude, you caught the fish already “ Sid teased Rovic as the receptionist named Vina saw come out from Room 210 which is the room of Rovic. It means that the woman joined with his friend last night after they spoiled separately from the bar.

8:30 am when they finished breakfast. They had enjoyed in the whole day of Saturday. They have been bathing in the sea afterwards eating various native dishes served. Drinking a little bit of wine while staying on the beach. Sid most enjoyed dish is the sea foods - fried lobsters and buttered garlic shrimp.

Sunday morning. Their last day on the resort.

Sid woke up early morning at 5:30 am. He had just a coffee on the TreeTop cafe. Then starts walking on the beach shore.

“ This place is interesting. “ a things came out from the mind while walking on the sea shore. He’s picking up stone from the sand throwing in the clear water in the sea.

What if he likes to talk the owner of this resort. Then if the negotiation is good to go he will also invest or maybe buy the adjacent vacant lot to put his own rest house or whatever suitable for this.

He thinks a lot while walking so he does not know that he has reached to it’s pretty far and hidden yet. He is about turning around just to go back in his room.

When there is something caught to his attention. It was estimated one kilometer away from him.

Unknowingly, have been pushing him to observe a woman and a child who is in his prediction it is one year old already. He thinks that they are happily bathing while running in the sand.

“ Funny watching this scene. But where is the father? if I were him I will never let us get out that I am not with them. I am so when will be? “ he whispered then smiled and took a deep breath.

After few minutes walking. He was already back in the room. He took a bath, had breakfast and changed outfit. He was decided to his plan. He took a first move.

“ Hi Vina good morning. “ he greeted to the receptionist which he met last night through his friend Rovic. This is the girl also who sleep over with Rovic in room 210.

“ Hello Sid how can I help you? Sorry! I was sleep over in Rovic’s room as I was drunk already and I can’t go home “ Vina is smiling while giving explanation but obviously ashamed too.

Sid gave back few smile “ No worries Vina you have already knew that you were right. Sid is teasing her as it is smiling. By the way, I came here if you won’t mind. I just want to know who is the owner of this resort. Honestly, I really amazed and interested with this place. Ahh…what I mean is, I saw there is a vacant lot over there when I walked this morning. So! I would like to know if…“ his words saying has been cut when the receptionist speak.

“ Ahh…ok Sid got it…I believe she’s the one. “

“ What? “ Sid is seemingly confusing.

“ Sorry! Sid I said the owner is coming.“

“ Ahh…ok Vina “ that only he says and his eyes following to Vina to what it is gazing and that is the time he turned around as well.

“ Hi Ma’am Vina good morning. How’s your day? “ the girl was polite and energetic voice greeted her staff.

“ Hello Ma’am good morning “

His eyes almost getting bigger, his forehead and face to be over squeezing and sweating after recognizing the woman arrived. He can’t believe. He had just tap his cheek might be he’s only dreaming but it’s wasn’t. The woman also shocked after seeing him. She was almost lost herself talking with the receptionist on duty. Her presence of mind has been out somewhere. How can she forget the man who is now in front of her?

Vina is obviously wondering to the reactions of both in front of her.

“ Sorry! Have you known each other Ma’am and Sir? “ Vina said hesitantly.

“ Ahhh…yes! Vina as I worked before in their company before I went abroad. It has been a long time. “ she smiled very thrifty trying to be civil in the situation.

Sid is speechless. He is in shocks still. He don’t know what he will be his reactions?

“ Anyway Sir Sid she is the owner of this resort Ma’am G. short for Garee. Please you can raise your concerns. “

“ Never mind Vina, it’s alright. Thank you. Excuse me! “ reluctantly said

He is about taking few steps when suddenly something collided in his right legs.

“ Ouch! Ouch! “ the child boy was quickly stolen before that was down to fall.

“ Are you ok? “ Sid’s face has full of concern with the child.

The child boy gave him back a smile.

“ Seed….!!! my son “ Garee called his son screamingly. The two boys almost simultaneously face turned around to look at her.

“ Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! “ it was run fast comes to the mother

“ Are you alright baby? Did you hurt baby love? “ her face is full of emotions at the moment. She hugged her son tightly while kissing it in the forehead.

“ I’m o..kk Mom...my ple…ase do…n’t cr…y “ might be her son noticed that there is tears hidden in her eyes. At his young age it would be able to felt her emotions. Her son is truly admirable.

“ Yes! Baby love mommy is ok of course “ she said while smiling already.

In the corner of the lobby. Sid witnessed everything. Every word detailed did not escape from his ears. It was truly sinking in his mind. Touching and creating wounds in his heart. He don’t know the reason why? He realized that he is wiping tears in the eyes.

While he watching Garee earlier. He can’t avoid himself more admiration. She really changed a lot compared to the times that it was his secretary. No wonder! As from the beginning it has a huge potentials that’s why it was not so surprising if she reached too far as what she was now.

Most likely he will not surprise also if Garee got married as well for almost two years passed. Does he feel regrets? Might be if Garee knew earlier that he did not marry Lily perhaps it will not get married to whoever stranger.

“ Yes! Sid you have full of regrets now. You are so arrogant creature Sid! you won’t able to accept the fact that you’ve fallen in love to your secretary, every time you’ve just controlling your feelings toward her as you thought that everything could replace by money. But later you realized that it will never be the same at all times ” He cried silently all the while.

“ I love you so much my son “ Garee is crying while gazing to his son sleeping already.

She wants to sleep lately but she doesn't visit a drowsiness yet. It’s now 12:40 midnight but still awake.

“ Sid why you still making so hard for me? “ silently said

“ If you only knew…Sid “ there she didn’t stop when the tears falls

She thought she was able to move on already. But earlier she proved to herself that nothing changed from her feelings if there is maybe she would be able to become an expert pretender. If previously she is stronger now it would be triple because of what she had experienced from the past.

“ What time we will leave from here? “ Billy asked while they are eating breakfast.
