Chapter 4

I wake up at exactly six am in the morning and lazily stood up to go to the bathroom. I still close my eyes while picking what clothes I’m going to wear. I yawned and massage my temple. Ganito talaga ako kapag kulang sa tulog, sumasakit ang sentido.

I open the shower and let the water fall to my body. Tamad kong sinabunan ang sarili. Natapos ako ng mga ilang minuto. Lumabas na ako sa banyo at nagbihis ng simpleng summer dress na may sunflower design. This is v-neck and mababa ang cut line ng damit. My cleavage are showing. I partnered it with slippers since we’re at the beach. I just put light make up and let my hair down. My hair is just below my shoulder at kulot ang dulo nito. My hair color is a mix of jet black and ash grey.

When I’m done, narinig ko ang katok sa pintuan. I sprayed my perfume and look at my reflection. I smiled as I open the door.

"Hi Isha! Good morning! So ready ka na?"

I nodded at Neshie at kinuha ang bag kong may laman ng mga damit ko. We didn’t check out and just explain to them where we’ll be going. I look at Neshie, she’s also wearing a backless dress and slippers while Ainah’s wearing a fitted crop top and maong shorts also a pair of slippers.

I wear my cat eye sunglasses and beach hat. I smiled as I look at the sky.

"Isha nagdala ba ka’g bikini? (Nagdala ka ba ng bikini?)" Ainah asked.

I nod. "Oo. Bakit?"

Umiling lang siya at ngumiti. Neshie laugh. I look at her with forehead creased.

"Tinanong niya kasi nag-aalala siyang siya lang ang walang bikini. Masyadong conservative ang gaga. Ayaw pa nga sanang magsuot nitong short at crop top kung ‘di ko lang pinilit." Natatawang aniya at umiling iling pa.

I sighed and averted their gaze. Wala naman sigurong masama kung hindi siya magsuot ng revealing na damit ‘di ba? I mean nothing’s wrong wearing a revealing clothes because we’re in a free world and also I’m not against it because I also wear clothes like that pero kasi wala naman tayong karapatang pilitin ang tao lalong lalo na kung ayaw niya at hindi siya komportable rito, right?

Hindi naman kasi sa lahat ng pagkakataon ay masusunod lahat ng gusto ng isang tao. But I just shrugged my thoughts. This is my honest opinion without hate. This is the reason why some people hates me, masyado kasi akong pakealamera sa opinion ng iba. ‘Yan tuloy wala akong naging kaibigan noong college. I’m so thankful right now at nag improve na ang talking and interacting skills ko ngayon.

We ride into a boat until we arrived at the Island. The air is refreshing at nililipad nito ang aming mga buhok at ang aming mga damit. We’re wearing bikini under it so no need to problem the air.

This place is so perfect to unwind. The green coconut trees, the nice sun, the refreshing air, the refreshing sound of the water and lastly the white sand. This is paradise. This is heaven and my haven.

"Ang ganda rito ‘no?" Pagbasag ni Neshie sa katahimikan.

I agreed. "It’s my first time here and hell yeah this is paradise."

She smiled. "This is my third time here pero gustong gusto ko pa ring balikan,"

Hindi ko siya masisisi. Ang ganda naman kasi talaga. Ang refreshing ng hangin. Kung may mabigat kang problema, surely makakalimutan mo ‘yon kapag nandito ka na. This is a perfect place to free and shoo your stress away.

Hinayaan kong silang dalawa ang magasikaso sa pag stay namin dito since sila naman ang maraming alam. They’re from here and I trust them. I roam around the Island and take pictures of the view. I love taking pictures lalong lalo na kong napakaganda ng view.
