BALI’S ‘BLUE POINT’ RESORT

CHAPTER 9 BALI'S 'BLUE POINT' RESORT

"Aba, isinisi mo pa sakin, hoy tanda, wag ka mag kunwaring malakas at makinig ka sa mga anak mo." sermon ng ina nila na narinig pala ang kanilang pag uusap. "Tawagin niyo na yung mga kapatid niyo at kumain na kayo ng agahan, dapat maaga pa lang nanduon na kayo."

"Sasabay din ba si kuya ma?" tanong niya matapos tulungan ang ina sa paghahanda sa hapagkainan at umupo na sa kanyang pwesto.

"Oo, pero di na siya uuwi sa bahay pagkatapos kayo ihatid, kasi diretso na siya sa Batangas sa site nila, dadaanan niya na lang daw kamo si Ayumi on the way para sabay na sila." Ayumi and her brother Ranz Emmanuel had been together for almost 6 years now, nagsimula ang dalawa mula senior high school palang sila. Magkasabay sila lagi at nasa isang circle of friends kaya naman nagkatuluyan din sa huli. Parehas na Computer Engineering graduate at silang tatlo ng kuya at girlfriend nito ang owners sa kumpanya na itinayo ng kapatid niya.

Pagka Graduate pa sana nito simulan ang kompanya niya, ngunit niregaluhan ni Heaven ang kapatid ng kapital at naging kauna unahang shareholder at investor sa mga project nila.

Two years ago, ikakasal na sana ang dalawa ngunit nagkasakit si Ayumi at kailangan operahan kaso napagkaalaman na buntis ito at kinailangan ipalaglag ang bata. Naging malaking gulo ito sa kanilang pamilya lalo na at graduating palang ang dalawa.

Ayaw sana ni Ayumi ipakuha ang bata ngunit buhay niya ang nakataya at kahit pilitin man niya, mawawala at mawawala rin ito. It was a tough decision for the couple but in the end they fought through it at ngayong taon, ikakasal na nga sila since okay naman na ang career, kalusugan, at wala ng iba pang kailangan isipin pa.

With a stable income, own house and cars, the right age, there was nothing else they needed but marriage. Ang plano nila ay ngayong Marso magpakasal, handa na ang lahat at kaya naman tinatapos na nila ang mga trabaho ng maaga upang magkaroon ng mataas na pahinga at bakasyon pagkatapos ng kasal.

Pagdating sa airport, mabilis na proseso ang nangyari, hindi na rin nagtagal ang magulang nila at hinitay lamang na tawagin ang flight nila saka umuwi. May kasama naman sila sa bahay, ang tatlong pinsan na titira at sasamahan muna ang matatanda habang wala sila. Ang anak na lalake na si Danielle, ng ate Jane niya ay inaalagaan ng asawa nito at nasa bahay rin. Habang ang babaeng pamangkin na anak ng ate niyang si Cole ay nasa tatay muna nito titira.

Nagaalala kasi si Heaven baka kung anong mangyari habang wala sila magkakapatid at magkunsimisyon pa ang matatanda sa mga bata.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Captain has turned on the Fasten Seat Belt sign. If you haven't already done so, please stow your carry-on luggage underneath the seat in front of you or an overhead bin. Please take your seat and fasten your seat belt. And also make sure your seat back and folding trays are in their full upright position."

Nasa may bintana si Heaven at ang kapatid na si Anne ay nasa may aisle. Sa harap ni Heaven at nasa may bintana rin ay ang buntis na si Jane habang nasa aisle naman at katapat nito si Cole. Business class ang kinuha para sa kanila, para narin raw hindi mahirapan ang kapatid na buntis sa travel at makakahiga ito kung gusto niya.

"If you are seated next to an emergency exit, please read carefully the special instructions card located by your seat. If you do not wish to perform the functions described in the event of an emergency, please ask a flight attendant to reseat you."

"We remind you that this is a non-smoking flight. Smoking is prohibited on the entire aircraft, including the lavatories. Tampering with, disabling, or destroying the lavatory smoke detectors is prohibited by law. If you have any questions about our flight today, please don't hesitate to ask one of our flight attendants. Thank you."

Matapos ang medyo mahabang instructions at reminders, sinigurado muna ng mga attendant kung nakapag seatbelt at pwesto na ba ang lahat.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to (Ngurah Rai) Denpasar – Indonesia, also known as Denpasar International Airport. Local time is 9:45 am and the temperature is 22°C (72 °F). Enjoy your stay."

The flight took 3 and a half hours plus 30 minutes each for taking off and landing. They prepared meals and served them drinks meanwhile Heaven felt exhausted. It was her second time riding an airplane, the first one was when she had to fly to Hongkong to sign a document personally and attend the author's convention held by the international company.

Although she did not announce publicly who she is, only the higher-ups and the trusted people knew her identity. She flew back to the Philippines 2 days after since there was an after-party and the Company's president and CEO did not let her leave unless they treated her to a meal. 20 pa lamang siya nuon kaya naman ninenerbyos parin siya habang nasa ere.

Pagkatapos ng inspection sa baggage at kung ano ano pang pinagawa sa kanila, bumaba na sila sa elevator at hinanap ang representative ng resort na susundo sa kanila.

'Welcome Permitivo Sisters' seeing the sign, kahit hiyang hiya sila dahil may tig iisa silang welcome cards, nilapitan parin nila ang mga ito na agad agad naman silang tinulungan papunta sa van.

From the airport to the Suluban Blue Point Resort and spa, it would take an hour and 15 minutes drive by car, since everyone was new to the country, ineenjoy nila ang sceneries at halos sa kanilang nadadaanan ay talagang magagandang tanawin.

It was sunny and with the kind people helping them out, nags-stop over ito sa mga magagandang tourist spots at inaalok sila na mag picture kahit saglit.

With that, the supposed short drive took 3 hours at dahil sa naappreciate nila ang mga ito, they made sure to give tips after they arrived.

The resort was ethereal, at talagang kahit saan tumingin, different people, races, sights to behold, and activities to do.

"Wow, I feel like I'm in wonderland.'' The ocean was so blue, true to its name. It was sparkling.

For the next 8 days, they will be staying at 3 resorts and Blue Point is the first one on the list.
