Piercing Fate (Completed) [R-18]

13 : Scott Fitzgerald

"He knew that when he kissed this girl, and forever wed his unutterable visions to her perishable breath, his mind would never romp again like the mind of God. So he waited, listening for a moment longer to the tuning-fork that had been struck upon a star. Then he kissed her. At his lips' touch she blossomed for him like a flower and the incarnation was complete." - The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Nang makarating kami sa isla ay bawat isa sa amin ay namangha dahil sa angking kagandahan ng mga tanawing nakikita namin. The place is indeed wonderful. A creation that has been forgotten but was never forsaken.

Fifty meters away from the shore was a small house. Bahay pala iyon ng isang mangingisda. He's name is Mang Ferdinand.

Amazed by the structure of the house, it was made with narra wood. Napagkamalan din naming dun din pala nakatira ang pamilya ni Mang Ferdinand. Nevertheless, I was still mesmerized by its beauty when I felt his strong arms wrapped around my waist as if I wasn't able to balance myself anymore.

It was Pierce. Sa klase ng paghawak niya palang sa bewang ko ay alam ko ng siya iyon. It shouted possession and pure love at the same time. Nang tumingin ako sa kanya ay bahagya siyang nakatingin sa kabuuan ng lugar.

" You like the place" He asked. I nodded in reply.

" Walang signal dito. This place is a place for abandonment" I heard Fiona say.

" There are a lot of destinations. A lot of villas. Maraming beaches, resorts. Bakit dito pa?" Saad naman ni Dean.

Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit.

Pasado alas kuwatro na ng hapon ng magsimula kaming mag-ayos ng sari sarili naming tent. It's required to sleep with pairs kaya naman ay si Dean ang kasama ko sa mini tent na gawa namin. Tulungan ang lahat. Halos masasabi kong wala naman talaga akong ginawa kase si Pierce ang nag-ayos ng sa amin. The boys decided to sleep individually. Boys will always be boys. Ayaw nila ng may kasamang lalaki din at masgusto nilang matulog mag-isa. Luckily our camping instructors agreed to that.

Kahit mukhang wala masyadong nakakaalam sa lugar ay talagang bawat isa sa amin ay gustong libutin ang bawat sulok nito.

It's like the modern visuals of the garden of eden minus the animals.

May dalawa kaming bangkerong kasama. Sila ang nagturo sa amin kung papaano pumunta dito sa isla. Madami ka kaseng makikitang isla. They almost look alike. At magkakatabi rin halos ang bawat isa. If you would come here for the first time, I guarantee you'll be needing someone who knows the whole place by heart.

" Mag-ingat kayo palagi at huwag lumayo mag-isa. Our main goal here is to enjoy. But we are going to do it by group. The thought and feeling of surprise is expected but we still have to be cautious since we are all new to the island" Our instructor stated.

Nang sumapit na ang gabi ay tila ba sobrang lumalamig na. Tapos medyo maninipis pa yung mga jackets na kinuha ko. I was anticipating to be warm here but it turned out to be the other way around. Mukhang malamig dito. The boys then started picking up fallen out tree branches that has been dried out by the sun. They created a fire for us to start the night with. We girls also started preparing for our foods using those supplies we bought from Manila.

Nakigamit muna kami kina Mang Ferdinand. Nakilala ko rin si Aling Pasing at si Lucas na anak nila. He sure has a very beautiful wife and a handsome son. Halos kasing edad ko lang si Lucas na anak nito.
