Since it was already late night, we decided to take a walk in the sea side to reduce the food we eat. Ang dami ko rin kasing nakain kaya pa ang dami kong nailabas sa toilet bowl kanina. Infairness grabe 'yong linis at ganda ng toilet room.

Its been a long walked that our hands is intertwined. Para bang ayaw naming pakawalan ang isa't-isa. Kanina pa magkahawak ang kamay namin na may aksyong pagpa-pawis ngunit agad nawawala dahil sa malamig na simoy ng hangin.

"Matagal ka na bang nakapunta dito?" Basag ko sa katahimikan.

He looked at me without moving his face then he nodded "When I was young, we're always went here"

"Hmm. Ako kasi ngayon lang nakapunta dito. Hindi kasi kami mayaman, saka mahal dito diba?"

"The price is worth it especially for a woman like you" He said in a husky voice.

I feel my cheeks heat. I bit my lower lip to suppress the shiver. P*tangina! Pag kasama ko nga siya grabe ba 'yong kilig na nararamdaman ko tapos may mga salita pa siyang sobrang nagpapakilig sa akin.

I swallowed hard. I'll scream later when I'm not in front of him.

"What are the beaches you already go in?" He asked.

"Madalas sa swimming pool kami kapag na-outing. Pumupunta pa kami sa ibang lugar tulad sa Palawan. Minsan lang 'yon kasi hindi pa kagandahan ang takbo ng negosyo ng parents ko. Ngayon lang nakaluwag-luwag na College na ako... Kayo? Anong business sainyo?"

"A lot, hotels, and other private business. I helped our business since elementary,"

My eyes widened "Elementary? Paano 'yon, eh bata ka pa no'n ah!"

He nodded "When I was 5 years old, my parents taught me how to run our business so that I can become proficient, And I'm thankful because I'm a good businessman now" He was smiling while saying that.

"You're professional now" I smiled at him.

I looked up and I saw a shooting star. "Look!" I pointed to the sky. He looked at it. "Shooting Star! Mag-wish tayo!" We stopped in walking and faced the sea.

I closed my eyes and wish that the man beside me have a feelings for me.

When my eyes opened I looked Nash because he was looking at me directly while grinning and when he my eyes opened he suddenly lost his grinned. Namamalik-mata lang ba ako?

"What is your wish?" He asked.

"Secret." I winked at him. "Eh ikaw anong wish mo?"

"I don't need anything because I have all my wants. But I only have one wish" He uttered but his last sentence was low so that I didn't hear.

"Ha? Edi hindi ka pala nag-wish?"

"One wish" He answered but his voice was low.

"What?" I recalled because I didn't hear his answered. Samahan pa ng malakas na alon sa dagat.

Dahil kanina pa kami sa tabing dagat ay napagpasyahan na naming bumalik sa hut. Medyo masakit na rin paa ko sa kalalakad. Ang haba ba naman ng nilakad namin.

Madilim sa tabing-dagat pero dito sa mga nakahanay na hut ay may mga naksabit na dilaw at puting ilaw na nagsisilbing liwanag sa paligid.

Kahit madilim na ay makikita mo pa rin ang ganda ng paligid dahil sa lakas ng liwanag na ibinibigay mula sa labas at loob ng hut.

"Tayo lang ba ang nandito ngayon sa? Wala kasi akong nakikitang tao sa ibang hut o mga naliligo man lang" I asked Nash when we've arrived in our hut. Umupo ako upuang nasa labas habang minamasahe ang paa ko.

"I rented the whole Maldives so that there's no disturb us" He said inside. Napatingin ako sa pinto dahil sa anino niya sa buhangin. Then I saw him looking at my feet. I stopped massaging my feet.

His brows furrowed and go inside the hut again. Nang lumabas siya'y may dala na siyang ointment. He walked in front of me.

Kinuha niya ang isang upoan at inilgay iyon sa harap ko at umupo siya roon. "Put your foot here" He tapped his lap. "Your feet is hurt right? You didn't inform me that you're pain"

"Ako na lang," Kakahiya naman na siya pa ang maglalagay no'n sa paa ko 'no. Inabot ko ang hawak niyang ointment pero inilayo niya iyon sa akin.

"Let me put this in your feet" I shocked when he leaned closer to me and put my feet on his lap.

My heart pounding so fast. I feel the heat in my chest and my face. I feel butterflies in my stomach.

I swallowed hard and looked at my feet because he started putting the ointment while massaging my feet.

"You have a beautiful feet huh" He uttered. "So, what do you want to do tomorrow?"
Napatingin ako sa kaniya.

Nahihiya akong ngumiti na lang.

"Snorkeling? Ang tagal na kasi no'ng nag-snorkeling kami nina Rhem eh! And I also wanted to see what's underwater in Maldives"

"Do you want to explore the whole underwater?"

Mabilis akong tumango-tango.

"Maldives beach is long so I'll take you in a beautiful spots underwater so we can quickly tour the entire sea... What else do you want to do?"

"Explore above the water, siguro may riding boat dito 'no?"

"Anything else you want to do?"

"Wala naman ako masyadong alam dito. Lagi ka diba nandito? Dalhin mo na lang ako sa mga magagandang spots o magagandang gawin dito"

He nodded "Okay, So now, take a rest because we have a long day tomorrow" He grinned.

Ibinababa na niya ang paa kong minasahe niya. Tumayo siya at bigla na nalang ako binuhat na pang-bridal style. I screamed because I was shocked. He just chuckled.

"Hoy! Mabigat ako!"

"You're not too heavy for the man like me" He mumbled.

I rolled my eyes at him when he lay me on the bed. "Fuck! You're so pretty when you're rolling your eyes" He muttered in a husky low voice. "Goodnight".

"Goodnight, sweet dreams" I'm smiling.

My cheeks heat and I know that it will turned red. I feel the butterflies in my stomach. Lagi ko itong nararamdaman tuwing pinapakilig niya ako, lalo na 'pag kasama ko siya.

He walked towards the door "Where are you going?"

"I'll sleep to the next hut" He just turned his head to looked at me and just answered without moving his body.
