His Island

Chapter 9

1 week already passed but I still haven't received any message from him. I don't want to do the first move he said he will!

I feel better now, no headaches and seizures but I'm also thinking about what the doctor said. I know anytime soon Mommy will tell me about it.

One week left. The classes will start soon. I sighed. I'm here in the sea, sitting in the sand. I'm upset but I'm still waiting for him. What happen?  It's been a week since we saw each other!

Why am I feeling this way anyway? I sighed.

I stare at the water and it's touching my feet. I draw some letters and shapes there. I played with the sand. 

"Hey." napatalon ako sa gulat. Nilingon ko iyon at nakita ang nakapamulsa at nakangiting si Hans. He sit beside me.

He's wearing a navy blue shirt and black board shorts. His hair is so messy but it doesn't affect his look. He's still handsome.

"I've never seen you in a while. How are you?" he asked and write his name in the sand. 

I look at him. "Yeah. Something happened and I need to stay at home for a while that's why I didn't go out for a week."

He nodded and look at what I'm doing. "Are you still studying? Are we in same age? " out of nowhere, I ask him that.

Dun nya ako nilingon at ngumiti pero kalaunan ay nauwi sa tawa. "Well yeah. You're right. I was actually going to same college school as you."

Nanlaki and mata ko. I didn't know that! I'm more than surprised!

"Oh! For real? I thought you're gonna study in Manila?" I asked. 

He chuckled. "We're living here now Lyle and it means I need to study here too."

I nodded. Tama naman sya. Graduating nadin naman kami kaya siguro makakaya naman  nya.

"What course did you take?" tanong ko at binabasa ang paa ng tubig.

He looks at me. "Business. Same with Kuya. How about you? What's yours?"

"Com arts."

He nodded. "Is that what you really want? Like it's you who decided what course you're gonna take? tanong nya. Gumagawa na sya ng castle ngayon at tumutulong naman ako.

I nodded. "Yeah. It's my choice. What about you?" I look at him but I immediately return my eyes to our castle.

"No. I wanted to take engineering but...I was forced to take a business course. It was my father's choice." naiba ang tono nya.

Natahimik ako. 

I feel sad not only for him but also for Yvan and their Mom. It must be hard to have a father like that. There's always authority and I feel like they are being controlled.
