Two Hearts, One Rhythm

Chapter 11

For the last stop of our Palawan trip, we will be going to Snake island.

Not technically a snake!

It was a s-shaped white powdery sandbar that only appears during low tide. Thankfully, nasaktuhan naming low tide kaya mapupuntahan namin. Sa itinerary kasi, optional lang ang snake island because it's based on high or low tides.

May last day pa kami bukas dito sa El Nido, and we chose that as our resting by the hotel pool type of day before coming back to Manila.

"Nagpapalit rin kaya ng balat 'tong buhangin katulad ng ahas?"

Crim's dumb question broke me out of my reverie. I rolled my eyes at her, kulang na lang gawin siyang ahas at tuklawin niya sarili niya!

"You know, for someone so bright in academics, you ask the dumbest questions." I said. Naglalakad lakad kaming tatlo sa sandbar bilang pag tuyo na rin ng mga bikini namin before magpatong ng dress.

Binatukan ako ni Crim. "Nagtatanong lang!"

"You don't have to batok me!"

"Stop na, guys!"

"Mukha ka kasing batok!"

"Ikaw naman mukhang lamok!"

"Oh, talaga, 'tol? Mukha mo bulok!"

"Stop na, please!"

I snorted at Crim at hinagisan siya ng shell na nakita ko along the shore. Umiwas siya kaya ang natamaan ay si Bella!

"Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry, bebe!" I said as I went up to her to check her face. Crim's laughing on the side as I examine Bella's face. I frowned at her. "Ikaw kasi!"

"Bobo mo bumato eh!" Crim laughed.

Bella pouted. "Stop na kasi. Lakas niyo pa naman sumigaw kapag nagsasagutan!"

"Sorry na, bebe. May masakit ba?" Crim also checked Bella's face to see her injuries. But I was surprised when she suddenly tapped my shoulders then both her and Bella ran away from me!

"Taya ka, misua!"

My mouth dropped open in surprise as I ran after them. We're all laughing and screaming as we run around the sandbar, never minding the stares we're getting because of our noise.

Nang mapagod kami, we decided to go back to the hotel na. May restaurant naman doon kaya we decided to just eat there. Aiden told me last night na may last stop pa kami sa isang souvenir shop kaya pupuntahan namin iyon after eating.

We took a bath then changed our clothes before going to the restaurant. Seafood na naman ang naisipan naming kainin but it's okay since madalang lang kami kumain ng seafood in Manila.

Plus, mukha naman ng talangka si Crim so it's okay.

"Speaking of boards, magreview center pa ba tayo?" Crim asked while we're eating. Kanina pa kasi namin napag uusapan ang board exam kaya nasama sa talk namin ang review center.

Bella shrugged. "I don't know? I still have our lecture notes and other resources. For sure you still have yours. Maganda rin naman mag review center but can we stay at one house then review one another?"

Crim nodded. "Oh, that's a good idea. Pwede rin naman, magkakasama tayo tapos bawas gastos."

I snorted. "Sa gastos ka talaga nag woworry?"

"Aba! Adulting na! Need natin matuto mag budget!"

I sighed. "Fine. We'll just stay at one house for studying. The question is, kaninong bahay?"
