A Journey of Two Night Goers (A Fanfiction) (Journey Series)

Chapter 6

For the whole day, I did nothing but rest. It was really sleepy. All I did was take brunch and have an early dinner in the afternoon. Then rest again. When evening came, I prepared again and when 9pm came, I went out and locked the door when Michael came. As usual, I walked ahead, causing him to run up to me.

We then traveled again for minutes and yes, the trip was silent. Minutes later, we reached a pineapple plantation in the hills. As we reached the plantation, the place was dimly lit. But it's enough for us to see the road at least. He then set a blanket on the ground and we sat on it. We then looked at the night sky.

"You sure you're not a murderer or something?" I asked, causing him to laugh.

"Of course not. We're here because it's one of the most interesting places in Ormoc and because I just bought a pineapple from this place. I prepared it ready to eat way back in the hotel so you should try it." He offered the food to me and I took it. As I ate it, I admit it tastes really good. But I decided not to tell him about it.

The night was nothing but us eating pineapples and being silent while looking at the night sky. Later, I looked at Michael. It is because he was singing. But I didn't stop him. He actually sounded good.

".... I don't wanna say goodbye to another night, and watch you walk away.

I don't wanna let it burn in the city lights, and make the same mistakes. This time,

I don't wanna waste, I don't wanna waste it. I don't wanna waste, I don't wanna waste it.

I don't wanna waste, I don't wanna waste the night."

He was about to continue when...

"I didn't know you could sing." I said.

"Umm... yeah. I sing when I'm quite bored. Sorry about it, I'll stop-"

"First of all, you're rambling. Second of all, just sing. At least it lessens the creepy aura of this place."

"The place is nice at daytime though. Problem is, not everyone can handle the sun like a pro. The heat stings here."

I tried my best to suppress a smile. Don't fucking give in Flo. You're meant to be tough and fierce. Afterwards, he sang again and sang more songs until I felt my eyes heavy with sleep. Before I knew it, I lied on the ground and slept.

Hours later, I woke up on the same place. But this time, Michael's bag was used as a pillow on my head. I tried to think why Michael would do this until....

"You're awake." He smiled, "So... Misa de Gallo? Just somewhere nearby? It's almost Misa de Gallo time."

"You're awake this whole time?" I sighed, deciding not to wait for the answer, "You know what? Fine." I said as I rose up and we prepared to go to a church near the plantation. We then went to the church for mass and afterwards, we went to the hotel and rested.

PS: The image seen is the Pineapple Plantation in Ormoc City. I've been in this place multiple times and is a tourist destination in Ormoc. It is known to produce Queen Pineapples. It also covers hectares upon hectares of land area.
