Day Three // Eclipse

[Luna's POV]

I woke up and looked at my phone. It's 4:52 in the morning and we're almost here.

Walang signal sa barko kaya tila naging walang kwenta ang phone ko. I don't install games here also kaya wala talaga akong magawa. However, mom's got an iPad which is full of different games. Iyon ang naglibang sa akin sa paghihintay.

"Panay ang games, sasakit mata mo n'yan." Tumabi sa akin si Sol.

I scooched over and let him sit beside me. Malapit sa edge ng barko ang inuupuan naming bench.

Kahit na naiinis ako sa kaniya dahil sa nangyari kahapon kasama si Mark, nabaliwala lahat ng iyon nang magkatabi kami. His elbow touched mine and I know he was looking at the iPad.

"Boring." I replied.

Kinuha niya naman ang iPad at wala naman akong nagawa dito. Pinatay niya ito at tumayo kaya naman naman nagtaka ako. Humarap siya sa akin at inabot ang kamay ko. Wala akong nagawa kun'di tanggapin ito at tumayo.

"Look at the stars." I looked at him and he showed a little smile. I couldn't help but stare at his eyes, he said the words stars kaya pinagtaka ko ito. Are stars still visible at this kind of hour?

He looked at me kaya agad akong tumingin sa malayo. There are stars, kitang kita ito sa kung nasaan kami, ang kaunting liwanag nito ay nagrereflect sa tubig, however, the sun's rising.

"The sun's about to rise." I uttered and felt him looked far.

"Your name..." He paused and I saw him smirked a little. "It means the primordial goddess of the moon, right?"

I looked at him and was amazed. He also likes mythology, or he just know something about it? Luna isn't really a famous goddess though, so siguro ay hilig niya din ito?

Besides, all I know is our parents loved it so much kaya pati kami ay napagtripan nila sa pangalan namin. I have no problems with it, bukod sa medyo unique yung pangalan ko ay isa rin akong dyosa, hehe.

"Mhm, but not really, it's the divine embodiment of the moon." I smiled and nodded. "Diana and Juno are."

He chuckled and I don't know why I found it kind of cute. The hell? "Ah, so, Sol is another term for Helios."

"Oh, ano naman?" Tumingin ako sa kaniya at kinunot ang noo. I wasn't being rude, I was just really curious. I like Greek mythology ngunit hindi ko binubuksan at binabasa ang libro kong tungkol doon sa bahay.

"It means God of the Sun." He looked at me as I was looking at him.

Oh, ano naman? Magkabaliktad kami, ganon? I don't know why he's smiling so much.

"Ba't ka ba nakangiti?" Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin dahilan para matawa siya.

"Pag nagsama ang isang Sol at Luna, ito yung mangyayari." Kinumpas niya ang kamay niya papunta sa tanawing dagat. Tiningnan ko iyon, tila walang hanggan ang tubig, nahahati lang ito ng langit sa paningin.
