Our Lost Love

Chapter SEVEN

Chapter SEVEN

Manong Karding is our tour guide today Island hopping. Isa isa nya kaming pinasakay sa kanyang bangka. Nasa dulo ako katabi si Ares pinasuot kami ni mang karding ng life jacket. Ares helped me to put mine, his right hand brushed on my left breast kaya mapasmile nalang ako sa kanya. I was holding on the pole ng bangka while I was also taking a picture and selfies. We reach our first Island it is so beautiful, the water is so clear that you can see nemo and dory and some corals. Bumaba kami to take a dip: Abby and kuya Anton jumped first next is Anyan and Bea and lastly it's Alonso's turn he screamed like his going to die. I am going to jump but Ares held my hand to stop me. I looked at him mouthed "why" " let's do it together" he said. We jumped and swim para maabot ang pangpang. The boat can't go near dahil baka masagi ang mga corals at masira. We took pictures as many as we want. I secretly took a photo of Ares while he's looking at the ocean. Akmaang kukuhaan ko sya ulit ng litrato pero nakatingin na pala sya sa gawi ko kaya napatingin naang ako sa kanya. We took a group picture para may memories. I asked Abby to took a picture of me and Ares, pinandilatan lang nya ako ng mata pero at the end kinuhanan nya din kami. Abby knows everything about me, kaya she can tell If nag sasabi baa ko ng totoo or it's a lie. After a while we go to the next Island. This island is more for snorkeling and scuba diving area because of different corals and fish species . I tried snorkeling and it was fun. We hop in to the next Island they said this Island for the lovers. As of mang karding may namamahay daw ditong mga Diwata he said na if you come here and wish tungkol sa love ay magkakatotoo. So we did what mang karding told us Abby, Anya, Bea, Alonso and I wished for it. I looked at Ares secretly while making a wish. I hoped my wish will come soon. We come back to the resort to have an merienda we ate turon and banana que with sago't gulaman. After a while we decided to go to the water activity area. We first try the banana boat ride kuya Anton is seating in front nest is Anya, Abby, Bea, Alonso, I and Ares. Kuya Nando is giving the life jackets to us. Naramdaman ko ang kamay ni Ares sa aking balakang he's supporting me while I am fixing my life jackets. The ride is starting and everyone is excited we are screaming from the top of our lungs. Anya and Abby fall out first. Muntik na akong malaglag buti nalang nahuli ao ni Ares at pinausog sa kanya so our position is ( he's holiding to the rope that I am holding kanina encircling me) every bagsak ng bananaboat sa tubig ay sya naming pagusog usog ko kay Ares. Eventually, binitawan na ni Ares ang pagkakahawak nya at nalaglag kaming dalawa. We our both laughing when it happen. " Tara na sa pangpang at hinihintay na nia tayo" saad nya. He hold my hand para mahila nya papuntang pangpang. Bumitaw ako sa pagkakahawak at sumakay sa likod nya. I encircled my legs sa upper body nya and my arms sa amy leeg nya parang nag pipiggy back ride kami sa dagat. The next activity that we do is the knee- boarding I didn't tried that one because I'm scared to be alone in the water. I just waited for them to finished riding at first Ares doesn't want to leave me but I pursued him that I'm ok and I'll just be here waiting. It's already sunset and we all tried the paddle boarding it's was fun experience we just sitting down on the board and watching the sunset. Hindi ko namalayan na katabi ko na pala si Ares. " I really like sunset" bulong ko sa sarili ko "why" tanong naman ng katai kong si Ares " Sunset gives me safety and calmness kaya everytime na i'm very scared or worried I'm just looking up to the sunset" sagot ko.

We decided to end the night and pack our things dahil we are leaving tomorrow morning as early as can be. We say goodnight to each other bago magtungo sa mga kwarto kwarto naming. " Goodnight Ares, I love you" I texted Ares. Hindi ko na naintay ang reply nya dahil sa sobrang pagod at antok ko. We woke up around four am. We prepare to go and met at the parking. Kuya Anton and Ares are already at the parking talking to Kuya Ando. They saw us coming kaya they help us carry our bags. I get the last full row and out a pillow to lie down. Kuya Anton is in the passenger seat. Abby and Anya are in the 1st row. Bea and Alonso are in the 2nd row sinakop nanamin lahat ang mga upuan I saw Ares looking for a seat he looked at me and started to sit on my side. When everyone is settled we hit the road. Sa kahabaan ng byahe nakaramdam ako ng antok. I started to yawn and put the pillow leaning on the window and closed my eyes. I felt Ares hand touching my hand that is lying on my lap. I looked at him but he is only looking at the front. I intertwined our hands and closed my eyes with a smile on my face. I said to myself " I will be selfish once for this love... I will fight for it no matter what happens" and I fell asleep.
