"So, what's the plan?" Lea asked me the moment we went out of the Yacht.
Ano nga ba ang plano? Actually, hindi ko alam kung ano nga ba ang gagawin namin ngayong araw. All I have in mind is pupunta kami ng Poseidon's Crest.
Napakamot ako ng batok at alinganan na tumingin sa kanya. "Eh, ano ba ang gusto niyong gawin?" I asked her.
I heard na may mga activities daw dito sa Poseidon's Crest, maybe we can play some.
"Ikaw ang nag-aya rito tapos you're going to ask me what do I want to do?" masungit niyang tanong at pinaliitan ako ng mga mata.
Bago pa ko makasagot, inunahan na ako ni Ada, "Ma, may mga activities po dito sa Poseidon's Crest na we can try. There's a Zip line, may mini zoo rin po rito, butterfly garden, and a carnival. We can try all of them but I want to try the Treasure Hunting first." wika ni Ada and winked at me. God! Lifesaver talaga ang bata na 'to!
Pero teka, treasure hunting? Anong pakulo naman iyan?
"Treasure hunting?" Lea asked, kahit ako naguguluhan rin.
This time, si Ara naman ang sumagot. "Treasure hunting, it's like maghahanap tayo ng treasure rito sa island. Alongside, kailangan natin mag-register upang maibigay sa atin ng mga staffs ang mapa ng isla at codes and clues kung paano natin mahahanap ang secret treasure ng Poseidon's Crest!" she explained.
Hmm, interesting...
"At ano naman and laman ng treasure?" Lea asked and I think, she's interested too.
Ada and Ara both shrugged their shoulders, "It's for us to find out!" Ada exclaimed.
Tumango-tango lang ako, treasure hunting sounds fun and exciting!
Pero teka, ba't ang dami nilang alam tungkol sa Poseidon's Crest? I was about to ask nang inunahan ako ni Cae.
"They have flyers everywhere. A staff gave me one yesterday kaya we know a lot of things here." she said.
Eventually, we all decided na pumunta sa main building ng resort na ito. We registered at 'di lang pala kami ang sasali, a lot of people also are here. May magkapamilya, couples, magkabarkada at meron din namang individual.
We are all gathered at the resort's main lobby for final instructions. Seems like seryoso talaga 'tong treasure hunting namin.
"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! Before we start our annual treasure hunting Adventure, let me remind you first for the following rules to be apply." a staff said.
Ngayon ko lang nalaman na annual pala 'tong treasure hunting, it doesn't happen regularly. Nagkataon lang na highlight pala ngayon ng foundation ng resort na to which is bukas na.
Marami kaming sasali and as I observed, all of our competitors are really into that treasure. Eh? We're just joining for fun 'tas sila, go for the gold talaga? Ewan, lahat sila naka- form na sa circle and they're planning for the strategies that they're going to use.
OP naman kami, we're just standing here waiting for the staff's approval before we can go find that treasure!
"Aga." I look at Lea nang tawagin niya ko, lumapit siya sa'kin ng konti at saka may ibinulong.
"I don't like the kind of attention that everyone is giving us right now. It's creepy, you know." wika niya sa mahinang boses, I looked around me at tama nga siya, a lot of people are starring at us at may iba pang nagbubulongan.
Sabagay, sino ba naman ang hindi magtataka, dalawang artista na magkasama? On top of it, alam ng lahat na naghiwalay kami.
"Okay everyone! In each group, please present a representative and those chosen one, please come up here infront."
Lea insisted na siya na raw and she went infront. Binigay sa kanya ang mapa kasama na ang mga codes and clues at agad naman siyang bumalik dito, on a cue we heard a sound and that means one thing, the game is already starting. Lumabas na ang lahat at mangilan-ngilan na lang kami rito ang natira sa loob ng hotel.
This will be fun!

I exaggeratedly rolled my eyes while looking at the first hint. Ganito kasi 'yon, we are given a map and sa likod 'nun ang first hint, in order to find the second hit, we must answer the first hint first.
Ito ang nakalagay sa likod:
Hint:01
... .-- . . - ... - .- .-..
Seriously? Ano naman ang connection nito sa hint? Are the hotel staffs playing a joke on us? How can we figure out those dots and dashes by mere—
Teka? Dots and Dashes? Napatingin ulit ako sa papel and that's when I realized kung ano ang meaning nito, MORSE CODE!
"Hey, does any of you knows how to read a morse code?" tanong ko sa kanila, kaagad namang tinuro ni Aga si Ara kaya we all look at her.
"I cannot perfect it thou but well, give me a try." wika ni Ara and then I handed her the paper, humiram kami ng ballpen sa isang staff in order for her to write what letters does each of the dots and dashes represents.
.../ S
.--/ W
. / E
. / E
- / T

.- / A

Sweet Stall? I look at everyone and they also seemed to be confused, I was on a hard thinking nang magsalita si Aga.
"I know that, it's a store full of sweets! Nalagpasan natin iyan kanina nang papunta tayo rito sa hotel, seems like hindi niyo napansin 'yon!" he exclaimed. Did we? Oh well..
"Then let's go there!" wika ko at nauna nang maglakad, I don't know what's in me but I suddenly felt eager to find that treasure chest.
