"Vienne, are you really gonna spend your first day and night sleeping in your room?" They were already having their dinner when my Mom decided to finally call me. Hindi ko naman siya masisi dahil pagdating na pagdating namin dito sa Amanpulo, nagkulong na ako dito sa room para matulog.

But this is exactly the reason why I chose Amanpulo. I wanted to rest and relax. Kung hindi lang ako tinawagan ni Mama ay hindi ko na maiisipan na kailangan ko palang kumain.

"Did you even eat na?"

"Hindi pa po."

"Bababa ka ba or you'll have your dinner there, instead?"

"I'll have it here, Ma. I just really want to sleep and rest for today. Bawi nalang po ako bukas."

After a couple of minutes, my dinner arrived. Kumain ako habang nanonood ng netflix mag-isa. Kung ako lang ang papipiliin ay kaya kong ubusin ang oras ko dito sa kwarto pero masasayang ang mga plinano nila Mama para sa trip na ito.

I woke up early to do some yoga. Since I slept the whole day yesterday, I need a little stretching. I heard that there's a facility here where I can do yoga, so I went there to do my yoga peacefully.

I was on my last set when I felt like someone's watching me. Napabuga ako ng hangin nang makita na si Cole lang iyon. He was having his coffee, I think. Akala ko naman kung sino.

"Good morning." He greeted me. Tinanguan ko lang siya before proceeding to my yoga. I did my last head stand before cooling down. Hindi pa rin tapos magkape si Cole nang matapos ako.

"Are you coming to the scuba later?"

"Yeah," I sighed. "My mom would be upset if I don't show up. She planned this trip."

He nodded. "I'll see you later."

After all the teachings and guidelines of the scuba diving professional, they made us wear the equipment. It was only me and Cole. My parents and Tita Karen didn't want to come because of Tory.

"I should've slept." I murmured.

"You slept the whole day yesterday."

"Stop missing me so much." I sarcastically told him. He laughed at me.

"Are you scared?"

I shook my head. "No."

"Good, because I can't talk underwater." I rolled my eyes at him.

"I didn't ask for your help."

"You're always welcome, Erica Vienne."

Hindi naman nagtagal ang scuba diving dahil halos lahat ay first timers. The professionals prioritized the safety of everyone. It was really a nice experience. I did not think I would enjoy being underwater, but it was actually relaxing and entertaining. When we got on the boat again, Cole put his towel around my shoulder.

Pinili kong huwag magsalita at hayaan nalang ang towel sa balikat ko. Lalamigin din naman talaga ako pagbalik. Natatanaw ko na yung shore nang balingan ko si Cole.

"Do you drink?" I asked him.

He just raised his eyebrows at me. "Alcohol?" I added, in case he's dumb enough to not get my question.

Amused, he answered me. "I know what you mean. Yes, I do drink."

"Do you want to drink with me?"

Again, his eyebrows raised at me. "Do you drink?"
