Part 9: You Can't Avoid Love

Sarah slowly opened her eyes as she woke up from the sounds and feel of nature: the beach with its waves, the chirping of the birds and sounds of the insects in the garden, the cool and crisp morning breeze, and the aromatic smell of bacon and coffee.

She glanced on the other bed and saw that Yeng is still asleep. She stretched her arms and legs leisurely and suddenly froze.

Oh em, what happened last night?! Ano mga pinaggagagawa at pinagsasabi mo Sarah kagabi?!  She scolded herself as she slump herself back to the bed.

“Good Morning Sis. Ano’ng meron? Bakit ganyan ang itsura mo?”

“Ha? Bakit? Ano bang itsura ko ngayon?”

“Ayan, yung ganyang itsura. Yung akala mo nahalikan ng boyfriend for the first time, and naiwang tulala…” Yeng absentmindedly answered her. She was still falling in and out of consciousness as she slept very late last night.

Dahil na rin sa kagagawan nyong dalawa. Di nyo ko pinatulog sa kilig. Yeng muttered to herself as she drifted back to sleep.

Oh em gee! Don’t tell me, nakita ni Yeng yung “almost” kiss namin ni Sam kagabi?! Sarah’s eyes widened and with a panic look on her face, checked back on Yeng to see what’s her reaction.

Nyiii! Tulog na ulit??? Did she mean what she said? Ganon ba talaga itsura ko kanina? Seryoso ba to? Naman eh! She vented out to herself. I hope she didn’t see anything. Nakakahiya! Ano na lang sasabihin nyan? Baka chikahin pa nito si Ate Shin mamaya eh. Lagot na. She bit her lip as she thought of possible things that might happen because of the small incident last night.

Instead of worrying herself too much on things that she’s unsure of, she decided to stand up and go down. It’s still early, well, too early in the morning. When she glanced at her wristwatch, she saw that it was only 5:30 in the morning. She decided that she needs to take breath in fresh air and to do some stretching. Though she doesn’t have any upcoming concert or performance soon, it has been her daily routine to do some vocalization as well.

Seeing no movements downstairs, she breathed a sigh of relief and thanks then she headed outside the main door and went straight to the beach. From there, she freely did her morning exercise and vocalization. She has the world to herself for now.

Sam woke up to the faint sound of an angel singing. (Well, his room’s window is in front of the beach.) Hmn, I must be dreaming, he smiled and then closed his eyes again. After several seconds, he realized that what he’s hearing is not the voice of an angel and definitely not part of his dreams. Well, definitely a voice of an angel, but an Angel here on earth. He smiled as he thought of his Princess.

He went out of the bed and went straight to window. He stood there, transfixed, as he saw his Princess doing some vocalization and a letting stretching on the side. The sun is slowly rising and he can see the reflection of it on her face and body, making her silhouette-like. Wow! What a great scene to wake up to! He exclaimed to himself as he continued to stare at her and her reflection.
