Relinquished Destination (T.R.A.V.E.L SERIES # 2)

Chapter 8

---

Silenced enveloped us after my question. I smiled bitterly.

It hurts ofcourse but it's good to know that. Because if he will really catch me, I'm gonna end up hurting him. I can't choose him over my dream.

I have to go back to Iceland and that's my final desisyon.

May kirot man na naramdaman ay mas gumaan ang pakiramdam ko. I don't have to worry much about his feelings anymore.

I won't end up hurting him. What we have right now is all games and both of us are the players.

Parehas na kaming may pagkaka intindihan about dito. Ngayon ko nga lang narealize nung di siya sumagot pero for sure yan rin yung iniisip niya. That's why he's flirting back, because all of these are just games.

"Let's jump?" I asked him happily when the boat stopped.

He surveyed my face first before nodding. May kung ano sa ekspresyon niya na hindi ko na plinano pang alamin.

I removed my dress. He helped me with the tank I have to put on my body so I could breath. I also did the same for him.

Nang matapos ay hinawakan niya ang kamay ko bago kami sabay tumalon sa tubig.

A smile immediately formed on my lips when I saw the fishes swimming with us! They're so cool!

I swam deeper to go see more fishes. I accidentally let go of Archer's hand pero okay lang dahil naramdaman ko naman ang pag sunod nito sakin.

We swam under water. I enjoyed scaring the fish. Kulang na lang ay tumawa ako doon pero hindi pwede kung ayaw kong may maka pasok na tubig sa bibig ko.

When our time was almost up, Archer held my hand again and pulled me upwards. Napanguso ako dahil gusto ko pa pero mauubos na yung air sa tank namin. Ng maka ahon ay agad kong inalis yung nasa bibig ko at huminga ng malalim. Breathing fresh air.

"You okay?" Tanong ni Archer.

Tinignan ko ito at agad nangiti dahil sa masayang nararamdaman.

"Yeah, let's go?"

Umakyat na ulit kami sa boat. Hinawakan ako ni Archer sa waist habang yung nasa bangka ay inabot ang kamay niya para matulungan akong maka akyat.

Nang maayos na ang pwesto ay si Archer naman ang umakyat. Hindi niya pa naaalis ang tank niya ay inabot niya na agad sa 'kin ang dress ko. Napaangat tuloy ako ng kilay bago sinuot ito.

He held my hand on our way back to the shore until we reach our hotel room. Binitawan niya lang nung makapasok na kami sa kwarto at dumiretso ako sa banyo.

I changed into a red dress and dried my hair to put it in a messy bun.

It was a tiring day kaya nakatulog ako sa byahe pauwi. Nagising akong nasa balikat na niya ang ulo ko.

We spent the day inside our hotel room to rest. We have the whole day tomorrow naman.

I feel like my skin's gonna get dark because we keep on going to a beach. I'm always tempted to swim! Ngayon pa lang nga, tuwing nakikita ko yung dagat sa labas ng hotel ay parang gusto ko agad tumalon dito.

Kinabukasan ay we started our day with a breakfast.

"Aside from being sexy, what do you do for a living?"

I asked kaya napalingon ito sa 'kin ng nakataas ang kilay. We're now on the umbrella outside the hotel looking at the ocean.

"Hmm, business? Our family's business."
