After checking Mika's pulse, Krystal turned to Ara.
Krystal: Ara! She still has a pulse!
Ara: Mika? Mika!
Krystal: She needs air!
Ara wasted no time. She immediately did the procedure over again. She took a deep breath, covered Mika's lips with hers...
and brought her to life again.
Mika started to cough out the water she took in.
Ara sprang over Mika and embraced her. She was just speechless.
Mika: Ara. Teka! Hindi ako makahinga!
Ara: Akala ko nawala ka na.
Krystal: You worried us to death!
Krystal and Ara were both hugging Mika. Mika hugged them back. Group hug!
Mika: Hahaha! Grabe, namamaga mga mata niyo oh! Haha!
Ara: Nakakainis ka naman eh.
Mika: Oh. Huwag na magtampo, okay? Ito nga't buhay ako, diba?
Krystal: Don't do that again.
Mika: Promise... At least, now I know what it feels like to drown. Thank you guys.
Krystal: I just couldn't stand the smell of a rotting giant corpse.
Mika: Che!
Ara was just gazing at Mika the whole time.
Mika: Huy! Ayan ka na naman eh! Huwag ka nga masyadong na-me-mesmerize sa'kin.
Nayakap ulit kay Mika si Ara.
Ara: Muntik na 'kong atakihin sa puso, alam mo ba 'yun? Muntik na 'kong mahibang sa kakaisip na pa'no kung wala ka na!
Mika smiled while Ara's arms was still around her neck.
Mika: Matagal ka na'ng hibang... sa'kin.
Napabitaw si Ara.
Ara: Ano?!
Krystal: Oh you guys. Cut the crap! Our lunch is waiting. Come on, Mika. Let's try fishing again. Minus the diving, okay?
Mika: Aye aye, Captain!
Krystal helped her up.
Ara: Okay ka na?
Mika: Ba't naman hindi? Eh binuhay mo katawang lupa ko eh :)
Ara: Sira!
And the two left like nothing happened.
Ara: Salamat, Lord. Andami ko palang nai-promise sa'yo kanina. I'm keeping my word. I'll keep my promise to you :)
Dapit-hapon na nang nakagawa ng bonfire si Ara. Naka-bingwit na rin ng pitong isda sina Krystal at Mika. They sat around the fire, grilling their own dinner.
Krystal: This is breakfast, lunch and dinner in one.
Ara: I've never been so hungry in my whole life.
