Fate In The Sky

Chapter 16

"Then I'll be your province boy, okay?" I suddenly don't had the urged to answer him back when he suddenly put his hand into my legs and squeeze it.

Nakatulog ako the whole ride, nilagay ko lang sa waze ang address sa hacienda namin para alam niya kung saan ang daan. Nagising nalang ako when I felt the van stopped.

"We're here sleepyheads!" He said with excitement and then lean closer to me to kiss my forehead. What was that for?

He parked the camper van beneath the big tree na nasa harap ng gate ng hacienda namin. We didn't hesitate to bring the camper van inside kasi mas pinili naming maglakad para malibot ko na din siya sa lugar. We decided to do a horse riding and some activities na pwedeng gawin namin dito bago kami dumiretso sa cottage. Hindi naman kalayoan ang cottage dito at nasa loob lang din ng hacienda but our hacienda has 6,524 hectares kaya medyo malayo dito sa mansion ng hacienda.

"Perfect for unwinding" He utter and intertwined our hands together at parang na kuryente kaagad ako sa init ng palad niya.

"Yeah, I like being here before but things change when mom died" I smiled bitterly and remembering my moments here with mom before.

"Hindi ba't mama nang daddy mo si lola Imelda mo?" He ask innocently and glance at me.

"Yeah, at gustong-gusto ni lola si mommy kaya madalas kami dito noon" I release a large amount of air and at pinisl niya naman kaagad ang kamay ko.

"Aren't we going to meet lola Imelda?" He change the topic since he already notice my silent mourn inside me.

"Nag sesermon pa yung nang mga helpers dito, so let's go for horse riding to roam the place" I tug his hand together with mine para dalhin siya kung saan ang mga kabayo namin. When we reached the place, everyone is bowing their heads to me to show their respect.

"Diba magpinsan kayo ni Shaira, pumupunta ba siya dito?" Tanong niya habang papasok kami sa isang horse ranch.

"Yes, noong bata pa kami naglalaro kami dito pag nag babakasyon kami" I answered while my eyes looking for a good horse to ride.

"Heto ho, madam Hera ito po ang pwede niyong sakyan na kabayo" our conversation ended when the old man na isa sa nag-aalaga sa mga kabayo namin, ay biglang nagsalita.

"Thank you manong" I smiled at him bago hinawakan ang tali sa kabalo.

"You sure you won't fall riding that?" May pag-aalala sa tuno ng boses niya, so I face him and frown.

"Sayo lang naman ako nahulog, so why would I?" I casually said without midning my cheesiness.

"You're quite cheesy now, huh" He smirk at tinalikoran ko na siya para magpa-alalay sa pag-akyat ko sa kabayo and he did the same too.

We both now riding the horse, at first may humawak pa sa tali ng kabayo para alalayan kaming makalabas sa ranch and then kami na mismo ang humawak sa tali ng kabayo namin. Our horses were calm walking at halos magkasabay lang kami kaya paminsan-minsan ay tinitignan niya ako with a worrying face.

"I won't fall, mind your ride love!" Natatawang sabi ko and hold tightly at the rope.

"Don't be careless woman, baka mapaano ka pa" He sounded like a concern father now. So to show him that I can ride a horse perfectly, I drag the saddle up and shouted 'heyaah' and the horse run smoothly.
