Chapter 17
"Wow..."
Halos lumuwa ang mga mata ko nang lumabas ako sa cabin at nagtungo sa deck ng yate. We're going to Fortune Island! Iyon ang sabi ko sa kaniya dahil tinanong naman niya kung saan ko gustong pumunta. Marami akong islang gustong puntahan ngunit ito ang unang pumasok sa isip ko. And the view is very beautiful!
Fortune Island's most prominent are the Greek columns. Sa malayo palang ay kitang kita na kung gaano kaganda ang isla. Not all peoples in Batangas known about this. Siguro ay iilan lang talaga ang mga nakakaalam dito. And I was so lucky to be one of those people who knows about this island. Buti nalang talaga at nag research ako. Ang ganda sobra!
Mas lalo akong namangha nang makadaong ang yate. Zoren snake his hand around my waist takot na bumaba ako agad. I was so amazed! Mas maganda pala talaga kapag nakita mo na sa personal! The Greek inspired ruins atop the hill looks so beautiful and breathtaking!
Halos hindi ko na napansin ang presensya ni Zoren sa tabi ko dahil abala ako sa pagkakamangha sa isla.
There's a Greek statue. The head above it's statue is now damaged but you can take a picture with it. Maganda parin naman kahit may damage na. There is a staircase that leads to acropolis where the Greek statue is. I will probably go there before sunset. The island has a white sand beach and has a blue and green color of an ocean.
"Do you like it here?" Zoren asked. Ngayon ko lang napagtanto na habang tutok ako sa pagkakamangha ay tutok rin siya sa reaksyon ko.
My face heated because of that realization. I was taking a pictures of the beautiful view of the sea. Nakatayo ako sa seashore habang siya ay nasa likod ko at nakapamulsa at titig na titig sa akin. His hands were on his pockets. He really looks like a model without his effort! Kung hindi lang dahil sa mabilis na pagkabog ng dibdib ko ay kanina ko pa siya kinuhanan ng picture.
I nodded. "I like it here. I want to live this kind of place. It's very simple and peaceful."
Silence filled us after what I said. Nang tignan ko siya ay mas lalo lang bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko. He stared at me with his gloomy and forlorn eyes. As if he has something on his mind that I couldn't read. Ngumiti nalang ako at kinuhanan siya ng picture. Pinagtaasan niya ako ng kilay. I just mocked at him and continue to take a picture with the beautiful view.
Nang mag lunch na ay dinala na kami ng crew sa restaurant ng resort. Naka serve na ang mga pagkain sa lamesa. And all the foods are fresh from the sea! Unang kita ko palang sa malaking crab ay natatakam na ako! Pinagsilbihan naman ako ni Zoren. He put some rice on my plate and he also peeled the crab for me and some seafoods that I know how to do it.
"Anong sunod na gagawin natin pagkatapos ng lunch?" tanong ko kahit pa panay nguya sa kinakain ko.
His lips twitched. His eyes looks so amused with whatever reasons like there was something funny? What? May nakakatawa ba?
"Kung anong gusto mong gawin." he answered and sipped on his water.
"I want snorkeling. Matagal ko nang hindi nagagawa 'yon."
"Let's do that, then."
At iyon nga ang ginawa namin after we ate our lunch. Sumakay muna kami ng bangka patungo sa hindi gaanong malalim na parte ng dagat. Nakasuot ako ng black two piece bikini and an snorkeling equipment. No need to try my swimming skills on the pool because I already did snorkeling before.
It's been 20 meters away from the beach and I saw a lots of coral reefs and fish! May mga grupo pa ng isda na sabay na lumalangoy. It's beautiful! It's really a nice spot hear!
