Relinquished Destination (T.R.A.V.E.L SERIES # 2)

Chapter 7

---

When we reached Sanur Beach, our next destination, a smile immediately formed on my lips.

It looks so relaxing, the place isn't that crowded, too.

Everything looks good. Ugh, omg. The water is so blue, the sand looks like a rusty color.

I've heard we can try snorkeling because the waves are calm. I wanna do it! Maybe later or tomorrow since we'll leave in the afternoon rin naman.

Pumunta muna kami sa hotel room assigned to us before going out again to the beach. We ate lunch first. Archer is still not talking to me. Nakakainis. Hindi rin ako umimiimik tuloy. Hanggang sulyap lang ako sa kanya.

Siya ay halos laging nakakunot ang noo at nakaiwas ang tingin. Mukhang iritado pa rin ito.

Ang tahimik lang namin while the other people here keeps on laughing. Nakakainggit.

Nang matapos ay lumabas na kami at pumunta sa may umbrella and sat on the lounge chair.

I removed the black dress I'm wearing and kinuha ang sunblock. I was already putting some on my arms when I heard someone talk from my back.

"What are you doing?"

Galit na sabi nito kaya natulala muna ako sa kanya. Ano na naman ba ang ginawa ko?

"Applying sunblock?"

Di sure na sabi ko dahil sa nakakatakot niyang tingin.

"Wear your dress and apply the sunblock." Sabi nito kaya napakunot noo ako.

"Why would I? I'm still gonna remove it because I'll swim." I rolled my eyes at him.

"It's still hot," malamig na sabi nito.

"Then I'll wait for the sun set a little." I rolled my eyes at him, naiinis na dahil sa trato niya.

"Then wear your dress muna." Mahinahong sabi nito.

My brows furrowed while looking at him. Siya ay nanatili rin ang tingin sa 'kin.

Ano bang problema niya? Nakakainis na, ah? Hindi ba maganda ang katawan ko? Pasensya siya ha, eto ang meron ako eh. And I like my body this way.

"What the hell is your problem?!" Naiinis na sabi ko dito.

Agad namang napaawang ang labi niya at mukha ring nabigla sa sudden burst ng emotions ko.

Napabuntong hininga na lang ako at nagmadali sa paglagay ng sunblock sa kamay at sa legs. Nang matapos ay agad akong tumayo at pumuntang dagat. Iniwan ko siya doon na tahimik lang na pinapanood ako.

Nakakainis siya! Di ko naman siya pinapakialamanan kaya bakit ako papakialamanan niya.

Good thing pala naka ponytail ako, di magugulo buhok ko.

I went under water and swam. Napa ahon lang ako ng may mabunggo. I wiped the water on my face so I could open my eyes pero agad ko itong namulat ng magsalita ito.

"Hi, Miss. What are you doing here?"

He's an american who I bumped into. Handsome but not my type. Malalim ang boses niya pero mas gusto ko yung malamig na boses ni Archer.

"Uh, sorry about that." Binigyan ko ito ng maliit na ngiti bago tumalikod.

Aalis na sana ako ng higitin ako nito sa kamay making me face him.

"Can I know your name?" He asked, a smile is on his face.

I was about to talk when I felt warm hands enveloped on my waist making me stiffened. Nag tindigan rin ang balahibo ko sa kaba at kilabot na naramdaman ng init ng brasong iyon sa bewang ko.
