1 hour.

Isang oras pa ng kailangang hintayin bago sila ma karating sa Mindoro. That one hour would be excruciating for her. Isang buong oras niya pang makakasama si King.
There's nothing wrong with it really, baka nga isang linggo o higit pa silang magkasama pagdating sa Panay. What's bothering her is in that one hour, she will be with King in a small cabin full of awkwardness. After his not so funny joke earlier wala na siyang masabi pa. She just sat there staring at the cake and flower, wishing that she never should have realize she's having a crush on him.

Now, this trip would be really awkward for her.

The weather was great outside.
She said, baka sakaling maisipan ni King lumabas ng cabin para maiwan siyang mag isa. She would love that.

A walk around the ship would be nice, don't you think?
Parinig niya.

Lumingon siya sa lalaki, he was tending his wounds himself. Guilt consumed her, ayaw niya naman na lumapit pa at baka mapatay niya pa ito ng di sinasadya.

Hey?
Tawag niya.

He didn't respond.

He just glanced at her saka ulit bumalik sa pinagkakaabalahan. His silence sometimes is irritating, he's silent when it's not necessary and he's annoyingly talkative when he was supposed to be shutting up.

Nakikita niya kung paano ito mahirapan sa pag abot ng likod. Sa tingin niya ni hindi nagagamot ni King ang sugat dahil hindi nito makita. Kaya kahit labag sa kaibuturan ng loob niya tumayo siya. Bahala na kung aksidenteng mapatay niya ito.
She pulled a chair and went behind him. Nagpaubaya naman si King nang kunin niya ang cotton na dinadampi nito sa sugat.

Tell me if it hurts...
Mahinang sabi niya. She started to look for the wound.

It hurts.
He murmured, that made her stop.

I didn't touch it yet.
Hindi pa nga niya nadadampi ang cotton. Maarte

Sinabing ko bang yan.
That puzzled her.

If not the wound, what else hurts? She wanted to ask but she kept her mouth shut. Nagpatuloy nalang siya sa paggamot ng sugat nito

Did you like the cake?

Yes, thank you.
Casual niyang sagot. His wound was not deep but the laceration was long. Ikaw ba naman batuhin ng alarm clock sa ulo alangan naman na House and lot ang makuha mo.

Girls love sweets and sweet... stuff.

Seems like you had alot womens King.
That's not surprising, he got the looks and the wealth. He can get any girl he wants, he even got her

I only had one.
Kumunot ang noo niya. King doesn't look like a one woman kind of man.

Well, he doesn't look like one for me. But he keeps on disappointing me anyway, baka may mga bagay pa tungkol kay King na ikaka surpresa niya.

Well, lucky Alyannah.
Si Alyannah lang naman kasi ang naiisip niya na babaenbg tinutukoy ni King.

It's not Alyannah.
Nagtaka siya sa sagot nang binata. Eh sino? Si Darna?

Where is she then? Seems like you won't end up together now.

Somehow she felt sad for him. He's going to marry Alyannah now. It means hindi talaga mahal ni King si Alyannah.
Sabagay, bago pa lang silang magkakilala. You can't fall in love witg a person you just met.

Make me an exception, marupok kasi ako.

That's the thing about arranged marriage, you don't get to choose. But she knew King would end up with a wonderful wife.
