Heart of Darkness

Kabanata 17

Finally! We're here!

I saw the crystalline blue sea calmly crashing with each other. I can see the rock formation under the water like I could reach it as if it wasn't that deep.

I saw the corals and the fishes swimming just below us! Sa hindi kalayuan ay kita ko na ang malalaking mga rock formation at ang mga puno.

We are headed to the part of the island where the cabanas and cottages are placed for the guests. Limitado lamang iyon kagaya ng inaasahan.

Based on what I have read, this is the only place in the island touched by the professionals. Ang kabuohan nito ay hindi pa nagagalaw ng ninuman.

My heart is thumping hard in excitement, doon ko rin napansing mukhang lumilipad ang aming yate sa dagat sa sobrang linaw nito.

Sa paglingon ko kay Warrion ay nakita kong may kausap s'ya sa telepono pero nakamasid sa akin. I smiled at him when he caught my eyes.

His lip twitched too, may sinabi sa kausap bago bumaling sa akin pagkatapos patayin ang tawag.

"How was it?" He said and smiled, lumapit naman ako sa kanya at tinuro ang isla.

"Ang ganda! I am excited to go and roam around!" I cheered.

"They were only a few guests there right now, you won't get disturbed. I also fixed the itinerary, you can see it later."

I was biting my lip in excitement, sa muli kong pagsulyap sa kanya ay nakita ang pagkaaliw n'ya sa akin.

"Should I take you back now, then?" He cocked his head.

"No!" I exclaimed. "I like it here now! Hindi na babalik!"

"Alright, Ma'am." He smirked.

I was in excitement while looking at the beautiful island, it was beyond my expectation! It was as if I was watching a fantasy movie with a magical world in it!

It was surreal, I've never seen an island this beautiful and pure.

The Lost Island.

I smiled while staring at it.

"But why is the sea called, the Sea of Thieves?"

"I'll tell you a tale, baby." Halos mapatalon ako sa gulat nang matantong naroon na si Warrion sa likuran ko at bahagyang bumulong.

"Hindi ka nagsasalita! Stop scaring me!" I hissed at him.

"I'm sorry," He chuckled deeply and my heart raced when he lowered his face and kissed my cheek briefly.

Napaatras ako at nanlaki ang mata, tinampal ko ang braso n'ya at nakita kong tumaas ang kilay n'ya sa akin.

"B-Basta basta ka nalang nanghahalik! Close ba tayo, Major?!" I exclaimed.

His lip twitched, in just a blink of an eye, nahuli n'ya ang baywang ko and a gasp left my lips when he pulled me closer to his body, slamming me on his chest before whispering.

"Is this close enough for you, love?" He whispered sensually.

My heart quickened. Marahas akong napalunok at suminghap.

"L-Let go of me, Alcantara! Nandito na tayo sa isla!"

"Never again, Win." He murmured and sighed. "Never in my wildest dreams I'll let go of you again."

"N-Nagmo-move on na ako sa'yo!" I exclaimed.

"No, don't." He moved away from me and touched my shoulder. "You can't move on from me."
