Love on the High Seas

Day 2

I never had the chance to roam around yesterday. Napagod ako sa byahe kaya kahit gusto kong maglibot-libot ay mas nanatili nalang ako sa loob. To rest. To sleep.

And now, I won't let the day go to waste without doing anything. I'll enjoy it no matter what.

Wearing a usual attire, I stormed out of my room to roam around the cruise. It was a bit sad to see people talk with their friends and family. To see them burst into a laugh while talking about some random things.

Naiingit ako.

But... this is life. This is what my life looks like. To be alone. I shouldn't envy other's life because this is what should my life looks like from the very start.

I heaved a deep sigh before washing away any negative thoughts. I'm here to share my talent and to somehow enjoy before my life ends. I should think positive. Thinking negatively would bring no good to me.

Halos malibot ko na ang buong cruise and gladly, I have seen lots of activities that I might like. Hindi ko pa muna lalaruin at magre-ready pa ako para sa live piano performance ko mamaya.

I'm strolling now at the Boardwalk, finding any activities that I might like. I stopped when I saw a shooting gallery.

I looked around to see people if they were looking at me. Gladly, they weren't. I smiled as excitement came to my system.

Maybe I'll try it?

I took the gun and pointed it to the target objects. As soon as I fire it, I immediately put the gun down to see if I had it shot but sadly, it wasn't. Naroon pa ang target object dahilan para mapanguso ako ng kaunti.

"You still have two shots, Miss. Go on," says by the operator.

Kahit nagdadalawang-isip ay itinaas ko parin ang baril. I was concentrating at the target objects and was about to fire when someone hold my hand, guiding me on firing the target object.

"Your position is a bit off that's why you can't shoot properly. You should've done it this way." A baritone voice is all I can hear from my back. He then pulled the trigger along with my forefinger.

I was looking up at him the moment he layed his finger on mine. He was standing next to me, guiding me on firing the target object. Just then, I saw him smirking, stretching his lips for a smirk.

"There, we got it."

Napakurap-kurap ako nang mapansin na napapatingin na siya sa gawi ko. I immediately took a distance from him, awkwardly averted my gaze away.

Do we know each other? How could he approach me casually when in fact, we're totally strangers?

Napataas ang kilay ko nang mapansin ang mahinang pagtawa niya.

"What are you laughing?"

Imbes na maoffend sa pagmamaldita ko ay mas lalo siyang napangisi. "You're the girl I bumped into yesterday, right?"

Mas lalong lumalim ang pagkunot ng noo ko. "What about that?"

He smiled. "I'm glad you showed yourself now. I had been looking for you since yesterday."

Napakurap-kurap ako sa sinabi niya.

What the hell is he saying? Bakit niya ako hinahanap?

"Here."

Just then, I saw him handing me a cute, small-sized kitty.

"I owe you for an apology yesterday. Maybe, this would be fine."

I stared at the kitty he handed to me. I loved stuff toys so much. In fact, I had lots of stuff toys in my house, it was all from Kuya Stefen. But... should I accept this? I had this great hesitation.
