Mavi went out from her room and take some time for herself as the breeze outside embrace her she rub her palm together.

She walk towards the beach as she was trying to find a nice spot to sit on, a familiar figure caught her attention.

"Avi?" She called the woman who's sitting on the sand.

"Oh! Mavi" Avi said as she motion Mavi to sit with her.

"What's bring you here?" Mavi ask as she sit with her.

"Stress?" Avi replied jokingly as she chuckled.

Mavi glance at her and watch her closely. "About work or what?" The curiosity in her tone is evident.

"Yes, work. How about you?" Avi turn her head to Mavi and their eyes met.

"We have the same reason" Mavi replied as she's the first one who broke the eye contant.

She sigh and hug her knees closely to her. They fell in silence. As their thoughts consume their mind.

"It's getting cold, don't you want to go back yet?" Mavi broke the silence between them.

"Not yet. I want to stay here for awhile." Avi replied.

Mavi just nod quietly and suddenly stood up. Avi thought she will head back to her room already. But it caught her off her guard when she felt something on her shoulder. It's Mavi jacket.

"You should bring warmer clothes especially in times like this." Mavi softly mumbled and went back to sit.

'Lord sinusubok mo po ba ako?' Abi thought

"Thank you." Avi said as grip on Mavi's jacket even more.

"Why do i feel like you have a lot of thoughts in your mind?" Mavi once again spoke this made Avi turn her gaze to the latter.

" I do have a lot of thoughts."She said.

Mavi stare at her without saying anything her gaze went down from Avi's eyes to her lips. When Avi notice she look away immediately.

" You know I wonder sometimes, if I am not Salvador would I still be this kind of person?" She said as she keep her gaze ahead.

"What made you think like that? " Mavi ask she didn't take her gaze away from Avi.

'So mesmerizing' Mavi thought.

When Avi didn't answered she take it as a chance to speak again.

"You are doing great. You're amazing just as you are." She softly said.

"I never knew that you're good at giving people those kind of compliment." Avi giggled.

'These compliment are made only for you' Mavi thought.

"We should head back now, I don't want you to get sick." Mavi stands up and offer her hand to Avi to help her Avi.

The latter take Mavi's hand in hers. This physical interaction keeps giving her sense of weird feelings and warmth at the same time. They both walk away from the beach.

The silence between them is surprisingly comfortable for them. They are walking side by side. Mavi keep on taking a quick glance to Avi. But latter is too occupied of her thoughts as she walk absentmindedly.

A small smile plastered on Mavi's lips. When they are almost infront of Avi's Cabin Mavi softly tap her shoulder to inform her. Avi flinch slightly as she turn her head to Mavi with a confused look on her face.

"We are here." Mavi pointed her finger in the cabin in front of them.

Avi scratch her nape shyly as she walk away to Mavi. When she's already infront of the door she look back to Mavi who's still standing while lookin at her.

"May you sleep with peace tonight."Mavi said as she wave her hand to Avi and walk away. This made Avi smile and get in to her cabin.

'Lord pafall po siya' Avi thought
