"We need to talk," seryosong sabi ko kay Aaron. Nakita ko kung paanong nag-iba 'yong ekspresyon ng mukha niya.
Hinawakan niya nang mahigpit ang mga kamay ko. "No, Cassidy. You're not gonna leave me again. Alam ko 'yang linya na 'yan. You already used that on me. Hindi ako papayag," mahaba at seryosong pahayag niya.
Napabunghalit ako ng tawa na siya namang ipinagtaka niya."Why the hell are you laughing?"
"Hindi kita iiwan ulit."
He creased his brows. "Then what do we have to talk about?" Naguguluhang tanong niya.
Tinapos ko muna ang pagtawa bago sumagot. "Nagtataka na si Aling Pacing. Tinanong niya ako kanina. Hindi ka raw nagtatrabaho pero may pera daw tayo at pangkain."
"What are you suggesting?"
I bit my lip. "That you work? Na samahan mo muna si Mang Carding sa pangingisda para kunwari gusto mong kumita ng pera?" Suhestyon ko.
He seemed incredulous. "Are you serious?"
"Yep," I answered.
Napaupo siya sa trunk ng puno habang hawak ang ulo niya. "I never thought I'll experience being a fisherman."

"I'm not wearing this thing! I'm going to be a fisherman, not a farmer!" he caterwauled when he saw the long sleeves I was asking him to wear.
Nailing-iling ako. "Magsasaka, mangingisda. Halos pareho lang ng sinusuot. 'You can't wear V-neck shirts and three-piece suits while catching fish. Marine animals aren't attracted to billionaires, Aaron."
"Pero—"
"No buts." I handed him the shirt and he had no choice but to wear it. He even stomped his foot like a kid but I just laughed at him.
Nang maisuot niya na ito ay tinitigan ko siya. "See? It's not that bad." Nadadala kasi niya lahat ng sinusuot niya.
"Stop teasing me. I look stupid." Sumimangot siya.
My grumpy Aaron. Tinabihan ko siya sa sopa. "I'm telling the truth. Now, go outside. Don't make Mang Carding wait. Here in Bicol, you're not Aaron Monteverde, the billionaire. Here, you are Aaron Monteverde, the fisherman."
He crossed his arms and puckered his lips. "Fine. But give me my kiss first." We shared a kiss before I led him outside the house.
Mang Carding was already waiting in front. He stood up the moment he saw Aaron.
"Good morning, Mang Carding!" masiglang bati ko.
Kumaway naman ang matandang lalaki. "Magandang umaga rin sa inyong mag-asawa." Tinanguan niya si Aaron. "Tara na sa ilog, hijo. Mabuti na'ng maaga nang marami tayong mahuli."
Tumango si Aaron ngunit bago sila umalis ay binigyan niya muli ako ng isang mabilis na halik sa labi.
"I love you. 'Hintayin mo ako sa bahay," Bulong niya.
Tumango ako. "Ingat kayo ni Mang Carding. Goodluck sa new job mo."
