A/N: from now i think i'll be using third POV. I hope you don't mind.

Chapter 12

Sakay ng private plane si Ina at Kaiser para sa kanilang honeymoon. Kabadong-kabado si Ina dahil ngayon sila lang ni Kaiser ang paalis. Pagkatapos ng reception ng kasal dumiretso na sila sa bahay ng mga magulang ni Kaiser nagpalipas muna sila ng gabi bago kinabukasan umalis papuntang Bora Bora island. Napagalaman ni Ina na nagpareserve ang mama ni Kaiser sa resort na yon para sa kanila. Naalala pa niya ang naging usapan nila kaninang umaga.

"Mama, we don't really have to spend too much to stay at the island, we can have a short vacation at one of the islands here." magalang na pagtanggi ni Ina.

Umiling iling ang ginang. " No. I won't allow that iha. This trip should be memorable for the both of you. And besides, honeymooners take a trip to another country, don't they?"

" yes po. But, it will cost too much and how about work po ni Kaiser baka makaabala pa po ang trip na ito." pilit ni Ina.

Sinukbit ng ginang ang kamay sa braso ni Ina. "don't say that iha.. Sige ka magtatampo talaga ako. And my son really needs a break from work also. He's father take a full responsibility on the company for the mean time para naman maenjoy niyo to."

Magsasalita na sana si Ina ng marinig ang pagbaba ng mag-ama.

"don't argue with mom. You can't win she's so stubborn, just so you know." may ngiti sa labi ni Kaiser habang niyayakap ang ina.

"buti naman alam mo. Son, take care of your wife while your on your way ok? Make sure she will enjoy this trip." sabay halik ng ginang sa pisnge ng anak.

Wife. Ina feel something inside.

Kaiser nod then looked at Ina, na nginitian lang din niya.

" call us if you need anything son." ang ama ni Kaiser habang yakap-yakap sa bewang ang asawa.

"sure dad. Bye." pamamaalam ni Kaiser.

Handa na ang lahat ng kelangan nila para sa pag-alis. Kaiser even opened the passenger seat for her. Ina smiled inside. This man is really a gentleman.

"Is something wrong?" tanong ni Kaiser.

"Nothing. I just remembered your mom. She's a jolly kind of person."

"And a stubborn one." may ngiti sa labi ni Kaiser. "I hope you don't mind, Bora Bora island is my mom's favorite place."

"No. It's ok. And i heard the island is famous for it's turquoise lagoon and resorts."

"Yeah it is. You like to swim?"

"I don't know how to. And I don't have enough time to learn." Ina shrugged.

"Want me to teach you? I mean for the mean time that we're staying there." offer ni Kaiser.

"I'd like to. Pero matatakutin talaga ako sa tubig."

"Some kind of phobia?"

"Don't know. Something happen in the past that made me scared on underwater."

"Don't worry, I'll help you overcome it."

Napatitig lang si Ina kay Kaiser. Will he really help her? Can she overcome it? That fear was engraved in her heart.

Nabali lang ang pagtitigan nila ng i-anunsyo ng piloto ang pagbaba nila sa Tahiti, and from there 155 miles ang kelangan sakay ng private jet para makarating sa isla. At two weeks silang mananatili sa isla na yun. And i hope it's enough time to be  close with him. I can't stand the awkwardness if we will be home. Piping dasal ni Ina.
