When It Rains

Chapter 14

NASA KALAHATING ORAS SILANG nanatili roon bago bumalik sa Cabin 26. Kasi para talaga itong ganoon. Kapag pumasok ay agad na bubungad ang entrance ng maliit na kitchen. Sa gilid nito ay may maliit na hallway na meron lang isang pinto na siya ang tanging kwarto sa loob. Nandoon na rin ang banyo. And back to the main door, there's a see-through shelves that blocks the view of the mini living room on the left. May malaking binata na natatabunan ng puting manipis na kurtina.

Serenity sat on the bed after changing. Dahil siguro sa pagod sa byahe at paglalakad kanina ay humiga siya sa kama habang nakatitig sa kisame. At ilang minuto lang ang lumipas ay nakatulog siya.

When she wakes up, she yawn and brush off her eyes. Kumurap siya ng tatlong beses nang may magsalita.

"I can't believe you fell asleep during our date."

She pressed her lips and slowly sat on the bed. Nakasandal ang binata sa doorframe habang nakacrossed-arms hababg nakatingin sa kan'ya. "Sorry. I got tired."

He shook his head and sat beside her after placing a soft kiss on her forehead. T-that was sweet of him. "Are you well rested?"

She nod.

"That's good."

"Uhm...anong oras na pala?" Tanong niya. Wala siyang ideya kung maliwanag pa ba sa labas dahil makapal na double-clothe ang kurtinang nakatakip sa nag-iisang bintana ng silid.

"Six o'clock in the evening." He answered and hold her hand to make her stand up. "Let's go back to the place we went earlier after you get ready."

Kumunot ang noo niya. "Huh? Isn't it late already? I mean, pagabi na. Baka delikado na doon."

He smiled. "Well, hindi ko naman sinabi sa falls tayo pupunta. There are other place there that's more romantic at night for dates."

More romantic? H-huh? In what way?

"Let's get ready. We'll go back there." Bago ito makalabas ay muli itong lumingon sa kan'ya. "Anyway, it's a pool." Then he left.

Wala nang magawa si Serenity kundi maghanda. Ang dala niya maliban sa pantulog ay denim jeans and shirts.

She can't help but to but her lips as she look at her clothes. The only cotton she had is her big yellow shirt—which is so much okay but her problem is her lower garment. She let out a frustrated sigh. Yes, it's a cotton but it's short. Like literal short! Sa sobrang ikli ay hindi na ito makikita kapag sinabay niyang isuot 'yung shirt.

"Ugh." She groan and couldn't do anything. Ayaw naman niyang maging killjoy at hindi maligo samantalang niyaya siya ng binata. That would be rude and disappointment.

Bagsak balikat niyang binuksan ang maliit na closet na hindi niya alam kung bakit niya ginawa, e, wala naman siyang nilagay rito simula no'ng makarating sila. Nang makakita ng shawl ay kinuha niya ito at pinalibot sa beywang niya.

It's really uncomfortable to have her legs expose. She's not her sister who wouldn't mind to wear anything. No matter how sexy or revealing it is.

Binalik niya ang damit sa kan'yang bag at nilagay iyon sa loob ng closet. Nang makalabas siya ng silid ay naghihintay na ang binata sa salas habang nakadequadrong upo. He immediately stood up when he saw her. Kasabay n'on ang katok sa pinto.

It's the tourist guide. May golf car na sa likod nito na ikinaawang ng labi ni Serenity. He really come prepared, huh? Walang golf car kanina dahil may mga sulok pa silang dinaanan na paniguradong hindi kasya ng kahit anong sasakyan.

Mahigit limang minuto lang ang lumipas nang makarating sila. It's the same direction as the falls but they entered the another gate. I think Dean told the tourist guide about this on purpose for this time? Oh, well.
