The waves make our boat move aggressively. Naghanap ako ng kakapitan pero humigpit ang hawak ni Anthonus sa bewang ko. I eyed him a what-the-fuck look but he just narrowed his eyes and gestured me to stay still. His hand trails up back to my waist, I wonder what he is doing.

"Don't you dare move," he gasped. "And you're heavy by the way."

"Really? I wonder why I can feel something poking me." Pang-aasar ko sa kaniya't ramdam ko ang paghigpit ng hawak niya sa aking bewang. He mirrored my scoff and chuckled darkly. I glance at him and lean closer, he seems careful because the higher officials from Vrenniomar might hear us.

"You're so full of yourself. You think you can pull of every men because you're the only girl here? There are men who are committed to their purpose, works, and partners here. Arrogant, rat." He shakes his head but his hands are still on my waist. Rumolyo ang mga mata ko. Tinuon ko na lang ang aking atensyon sa tubig, masarap na simoy ng hangin at mga ibong nagliliparan at maingay sa kulay asul na kalangitan.

"Ang daming sinabi pero tinitigasan naman sa akin, ampota." Inis kong bulong sa sarili't bumuga ng hangin.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes while sitting on his lap. It was a way of showing that I was annoyed or frustrated. Hindi ko ba alam kung talagang mabagal ang pagtakbo ng piloto ng bangka na ito. I leaned closer, but Anthonus hissed and dug his nail into my waist. I secretly pinched him back. He glanced back at everyone before looking back at me with piercing eyes.

"Stay still!" Naiirita niyang sambit kaya naman ay tinatamad ko siyang binalingan ng tingin. He greeted his teeth as he held my waist again and tried to fix his posture desperately. I bit my left cheek. I tied my hair in a messy bun using Arthur's luxurious hair tie. Magreklamo pa mamaya ang unggoy na nasa likod ko.

"Inaantok ako," inis kong bulong bago siya irapan. I closed my eyes for the meantime yet I can feel him tapping my arm.

"Stay still!" he greeted. Muli kong dinilat ang mga mata ko upang obserbahan siya. Anthonus greeted his teeth as he tries his best to fix his posture meanwhile, he keeps glancing at the high officials who are observing us. Tinikom din ang mga labi ko at pilit na ngumiti nang kumaway ang isa sa kanila. It's the same guy who has the light blue hair.

"Matagal pa ba? Antok na antok talaga ako," I groaned. He scoffs because of what I said.

"I don't care, rat. Keep still or else I'll throw you to this boat." He leaned closer so only I could hear what he said. Akala niya siguro ay matatakot niya ako. Sorry siya.

"Itapon mo kung kaya mo. I doubt that you can do it." Panghahamon ko sa kaniya. He groaned frustratedly and tightened his grip on me and I can tell that he can was trying to stop me from moving too much. What can I do? The boat is moving. Hindi ko naman kasalanan na bawat galaw ng puwet ko ay tumitigas ang kaniya.

"Why are you sleepy? You aren't doing anything." he chuckles sarcastically. Nang lumingon sa gawi namin ang mga high officials ay peke kaming ngumiti. We synchronically forced ourselves to smile and glance back at each other.
