KHEL'S POV
Laiya, San Juan Batangas
Finally, nakarating din kami sa beach resort. For almost three hours on the road, we're here.
Pinarada ni Brint ang van sa gilid ng isang cottage. Excited na tinanggal ng magpinsan ang kanilang seatbelts. They're giggling as they slid the backseat's door and rushed out of the camper. Pailing-iling na tumawa ang kaibigan ko, saka siya sumunod na bumaba ng sasakyan.
As I hopped out of the vehicle, my shoes hit the surface. Sand and ground beneath my feet. Inayos ko ang aking jacket, saka nagpamulsa.
As I looked around, I saw a bunched of trees on the side. Most of them are coconut trees. There are also cottages, nipa huts, and benches located a meters away from the shoreline. But what outstands the place is the golden carpet of sand, plus the spectacular ocean view of sapphire waves. Breeze blowing with a touch of warmth from the sun's blaze.
I walk towards the shore, with camera hanged on my neck, and biting my lip while scanning the beautiful surrounding. What a peaceful place. There's no people around. No visitors. Just the four of us.
Nadatnan kong nagtatampisaw ang mga paa nina Meera at Narri sa tubig-dagat. They're laughing and splashing waters to one another, as though silly kids playing by.
Napangiti ako at inangat ang aking camera. Click! I took a picture of them without being noticed.
Later on, Brint came after me. May dala siyang isang malaking box. He grinned as he approached me.
"Khel, my friend! Do you wanna build a camp tent~" kanta niya at bahagyang tinaas ang bitbit na kahon.
I frowned at him. "Build it yourself."
"What?! Aba! Ke-aga-aga, bro, at nagsusungit ka? May mens ka ba? Daig mo pa babae sa pagsusuplada, eh." Tinaasan n'ya ako ng kilay.
Mas lalo akong nairita. "Tch. Mamaya ka na magtayo n'yan. Maaga pa."
"Pero---"
"Kung gusto mo, ikaw ang magtayo n'yan mag-isa," I rested my case.
Bumagsak ang balikat ng ungas at ngumuso. "Haysh! You're so mean. Pero... sige! Ako magtatayo nito mag-isa! Watch and learn!"
He squinted his eyes at me. Tumalikod si Brint at nagtungo sa gilid ng isang coconut tree. Doon niya binaba ang kahon, saka nilabas ang mga gamit para magtayo ng tent. He, then started building it on his own will.
