Robert's POV

I was just done talking with the rescuer in the radio when I heard their laugh. I quickly turned to their way and found them at a distance with a stupid grin on their face.

My brow quirked up at the picture.

So they were enjoying the moment now?

They made a high five then laughed.

Damn! so she really was eager to go home. Back to his lover's arms!

My lips pursed with that damn thought. Infuriated with the thought of her in her lover's arms.

Then I mentally scoffed.

As if I care!

With frown on my face, I started walking towards them to relay the good news. I noticed clouds above are starting to darken in color. This means there's a storm coming to our way. But given that rescue will come soon, I just shrugged it away from my mind. I have lots of things to think about right now to mind that.

When I was a few feet away from them, they suddenly became silent and watched me with interests. Of course, not interested with me but with my news. You fool!

I mentally shook my head then came closed to them.

"What's with that look, Mr. Robbie?" Jul greeted. I groaned hearing that name.

Then his face suddenly look horrified when I didn't answer him right away.

"Don't tell me they're not coming here to save us??"

Damn with this exaggerated specie! I rolled my eyes before I answered.

"They'll be here" I checked the time with my wristwatch. "It's already 3:14 pm so maybe an hour or so from now."

Jul clasped his chest while sighing, relieved with my news.

"Thank God!"

Anya just nodded her head then took a deep breath before she sat on the sand then followed Jul on her left.

Here we go again. Avoiding my eyes.

I let out a deep breath then just did the same thing as she. Trying to ignore her silence.

I was just doing that for a while, thinking while staring aimlessly at the sea before us when I noticed the wind suddenly change its direction. Then sea waves started to increased in size.

I furrowed my brows, now having a bad feeling about this sudden change of weather. I looked up above the sky then found the clouds now darker than earlier.

I snapped my head to my left when I heard her gasped. I found her doing the same thing with me, looking up above with alarming eyes. I think we have the same feeling---- I mean the same suspicions about this .

Damn! I hope rescue would come before it's too late. And I hope fate don't have other plan for us other than bringing us back home.

"What was that, Anya?" Jul alarmingly asked, seeing the look on her face. She turned to look at me, probably felt my eyes staring at her. Worry itched on her face.

"Are you thinking what I am thinking right now, Robert?"

I slightly nodded my head at her. Confirming her thought. Then she looked around us.

"And what the hell you two were thinking right now???" Oblivious Jul butted in with knitted brows.

She rolled her eyes then answered him without turning to his way.
