45 - Village

A FEW months passed quickly. Odessa just laughed at the stupidity of her heart when she met Frahisto. It was really good and he didn't fall completely. He is ready to return to Mindanao. When he called his Father Bartolome, he was in good health. Five months have also passed and he is already missing the stream. His parents also allowed him to teach in Barrio ng Bayog even though they didn't want to.

He has five siblings and he is the third. His older brother, did not graduate and chose to just get married and have two children. Next, he was late for school so he worked in Manila as a working student and finished the course he took. While he, more selected in Mindanao will teach.

“Here, bury it. You have been on the ship for three days, or you may be hungry. ” His very kind Father handed him a snack wrapped in banana leaves. To be sure, his favorite moron and bibingka were inside.

“Dad! The amount of it. ”

“I don't want to starve you on the ship. Alas, Luzon is far to Ozamis. Then Ozamis to Bayog. ”

She smiled and put it in the plastic. "There's free food on the ship, Dad."

It turned its back on him and faced the net. "Many but not the work of your handsome father."

He laughed at its joke. If only he could come to this village, but his Father Bartolome is unfortunate. That old man was also his Second Dad.

His luggage is ready. Today he will board the ship. His brother's motorcycle was also ready to take him to town. After making sure that he had not forgotten anything, he said goodbye to his parents and brother. Inggo even teased him as if he was saying goodbye for life. He then pinched his groin and pinched his thigh.

While riding the motorcycle, he just kept looking at the beautiful surroundings of the village where he grew up. To this day, he is puzzled by the Forget Me Not flowers he receives. Instead of being afraid because the sender is always handing out the flower, the opposite is true. The thrill he feels. Problem is, ‘he doesn’t know Yx.

Last month, he did not receive any flowers from Yx. I think he used to receive something every week. The crop may be exhausted. There was even time, when she wanted to meet the man ... She asked her brother and drew Yx's face. Case when he finished the sketch, it looks like grade 1 will still pass in his drawing.



He was stationed at the Mega Value Cabin so he immediately searched for the number and room. When he saw his bed, he immediately put the luggage next to the bed and sat down. He was also tired of carrying his heavy luggage. No one even tried to help or offer help but that was okay, the important thing was that he was on the ship.

He seemed to be closing his eyes to sleep when he heard Frahisto's voice. He quickly opened his eyes and looked around. He just frowned when his gaze hit the man with the stickiness to stare at him. He shook his head and went back to lying down. Why did he suddenly think of Frahisto?

He realized it was night when he woke up. When he felt hungry, his favorite moron made dinner that night before heading to

roof deck. He would just suck in air and fill his chest.

She had a dream about the man, they were together in one place and brought him to his house and then made him his wife. He was almost shivering when he stumbled on a rock and finally woke up. Honey!

"I saw a handsome man — no, he was very handsome before!"

He stopped walking to the railings at what was heard. Hmp! That’s nothing to Frahisto. Maybe when you see that man, your panties will fall off. He laughed at the thought.

“A lot of people liked him before. I almost don’t like him anymore look away and maybe he is really one of the gods who came down to earth as you know, looking for someone as beautiful as us! ”

“Gorl,‘ tis not good. ‘Wag feelingera.’

He kept laughing at the conversation of the two pure girls. He then remembered Tina in them. Then he looked up at the sky, many stars and pleasing to the eye. Add to that the cold wind that blows on him

She tied her hair up and it might be difficult for her to comb it back to back. Just right after she tied her hair up suddenly a ship alarm went off.

What happened?!

Many were immediately confused and ran away. He didn't quite understand what was happening because his fellow passengers were now shouting and yelling. As soon as it entered his mind, there was a fire! My God! Is he here to die?

He stared at the people running away. Someone stumbled, trampled, pushed. Others, scrambling for a life jacket. It was only then that he came to his senses when he remembered he needed a life jacket too! He didn't even want to die on this ship.

He suddenly ran in the direction of the people pushing down the stairs when someone pulled his hand. Because the roof deck was dark, he could not see the face of the person holding his hand very well.

"What! Let go of me. I need to get a life jacket and— ”

“The cruise is on fire. There's no time for you to get a life jacket, Odessa. ”

He was immediately taken aback by what he heard. The man in front of him mentioned his name.

"Follow me."

"Where are we?" he was still able to ask that as he complied with it and they held hands. People hit him so they did, they covered him with their bodies and almost hugged him just so they could get past the crowd of people panicking.

It's like ... It's like I know this body ...

"Odessa, listen."

"H-ha?"

"Just a few minutes and this ship will sink."

She sighed at what she heard. How is he going to eat ?! He has not yet exhausted the three morons. "I don't have a life jacket ..."

It squeezed his hand and then he felt something touch his body. Even in the dark, it was able to attach the jacket effortlessly. "Let's go." It pulled him away again.

He kept looking around and the man who helped him was right now, the ship was on fire! The fire was already big and ahead it started. Many have been fighting at sea and many are also crying.

“Eyes on me, Odessa. If you want to get save, then focus on me. ”

He did not listen. He stopped when he saw the toddler crying and seemed to be away from the parent. "The child!"

"Odessa ..."

"The child! Let's help him. ”

She gasped and glanced at the crying child for a moment. He gripped her hand tightly and together they went to the boy. Before the fire could spread to their place, the man quickly put the child to bed.

“Odessa, jump!

He could not answer what he said, he pulled him completely and they jumped into the water. He held on hard until their bodies fell into the water. He was overwhelmed by the impact of the water. She felt her heart pounding and that was when she began to cry over what had happened. He just stared at the ship slowly being consumed by fire and he felt the heat surrounding the ship.

"Odessa ..."

She turned to the man who called her name. His mouth automatically opened when he saw her face. From the bright light of the fire, he could clearly see who was in front of him.

"Frahisto ..."

He just stared at her intently then pulled his hand away. Confused, she followed the man while staring at him. He cried a lot at the thought of being a Frahisto and saved him.

They were far away when there was a loud explosion. He was covered by the teynga and he would probably be deafened by the force of the impact. He suddenly became numb at those times as tears welled up in his eyes. He almost died again. He could hear every shout and cry all around. He thought, how many of them have survived? Was anyone trapped inside the ship? Did anyone die? Why did this happen?

Only then did he feel Frahisto's hand caress his cheek. Exactly when he opened his eyes, they hit the man's eye. He bit his lip so hard and kept his own ‘don’t cry especially.

"Shhh ... You are safe now."

He nodded slowly. While the toddler was still crying so he came over here and took the child. "I-I'll do it to him ... Maybe he's scared of you."

He hesitated but followed his wishes. It handed him the child he thought, 3 years old. “Hi, are you home baby? Home ... We will look for Mama tomorrow ... Home ... ”The boy nodded slowly and stopped crying.

As he heard Frahisto gasped. He looked up and their eyes met again. She saw some fondness in his eyes as he looked at her.

“Don't worry, a rescuer is coming. Everything will be okay. I'm just here. ”

"T-thank you ..." he looked down. After 5 months, now he saw it again. Is it destiny? Ando’n na naman ‘yong uncontrollable feelings niya para sa lalaki. The second time, it saved his life. “W-how did you know I was one of the passengers on the ship? Are you following me? ” It was too late for him to think of what he had said. Mali. Mali!

“I am going to Ozamis because I need to fix my father's land. It was just a coincidence that we met here on the ship and at the time of the fire. ”
