Hillary's POV
Limang araw na kaming andito ni Sky sa Sorsogon. Sa loob ng limang araw ay napakarami ng lugar ang aming pinuntahan and all those places will always be remembered. Also, it's been five days that Sky is courting me—and just sh*t, he's very sincere and I always end up loving him more.
The way he cares of me, the way he stares at me, the way he hugs and surprisingly kisses my forehead, and the way he says that he likes me—damn, I just wanted to say yes too soon, but no, I need to hold it. He needs to say the three holy words, and yes, I can wait for that moment to come. I'm not in a hurry because I believe that this time onwards, I have him and he'll never be gone.

For this day, pupunta kami sa Pink Sand Beaches of Matnog, Sorsogon! They have three pink sand beaches at lahat 'yan pupuntahan namin! After 10 minutes of a trip from the port, we're finally here at Tikling Island.
I went down the boat too soon and look around. Sky also does the same. "This is not as pinkish as the Subic beach, but what I love in this beach is that it has its own beauty. Mas gusto ko rin dito dahil hindi crowded," saad pa ni Sky.
"Nagpunta ka na rito?" tanong ko at tumango siya.
"But, it's been how many years already marami na nga ring nagbago rito," he said, then he started roaming around.
While he's busy taking some photos I run through anywhere, then I spread my arms as I am spinning around! I really love here! No one's around, you can freely do what you want.
This is so beautiful, too! The air, the waves, the sea water, the birds, everything you can see on this beach is so beautiful! I've been dreaming to come here and finally, I did! Sarap mag-uwi ng pink sad sa Maynila!
Sky's POV
I saw Hillary playing with the sand and so I took her numerous photos. Her beauty is really no joke, kahit saang anggulo mo siya kukunan ang ganda. The camera loves her so much.
I walked closer to her, then I also bent down, "hey, young lady, need help?" I asked her with my playful tone and she just gave me a death glare. She also stops playing with the sand and she's now enjoying the beautiful aura this beach is showing.
"Ang sarap magpatayo ng bahay rito," she uttered while her eyes are closed. I just chuckled and stand beside her. "Thank you, Sky," she said and now, she's looking at me, smiling.
I placed my arm over her shoulder and I grabbed her closer to me. I know she's surprised. Her eyes turned big— so cute. "If you're wanting to build a house here, would you share it with me?" I asked and her lips draw a curve too soon.
"Tigilan mo nga 'yan, Sky," she said as she pushed me and was about to go back to the boat, but I stopped her. "Ano?" she asked. Hillary's blushing! She can't hide it, her reddish cheeks overpower her white skin.
"Ano 'yong sagot mo?" I asked her, smiling.
"Syempre hindi," sagot niya agad. Nakakunot ang noo ko nang tanungin ko siya kung bakit. "Paano kung nakapagtayo na ako ng bahay tapos sinabi ko sa'yong ikaw 'yong gusto kong kasama na tumira ro'n tapos bigla ka na lang nawala? Oh, edi umasa ako," saad pa niya at bakas talaga ang lungkot sa mukha niya.
I pat her head, "ang tanong, eh mawawala ba ako?" I uttered and she didn't answer, she just keeps on looking at me, still, with sadness in her eyes. "Kung mawawala ako, edi isasama kita. Let's get lost together," I added and she laughed so hard. I am just staring at her and I don't know why my heart has been pounding so fast! Since the day I get certain of my feelings it always beats so weird if I am with her.
Do I like her this much? Na kapag nakikita ko siya pakiramdam ko nagwawala ang puso ko pati na kaluluwa? Sh*t, why am I gotten so cheesy?! As far as I remember I was never like this.
I don't wanna compare them, but I never been like this when I'm with Veia. My heart beats strange, but it's never as strange as this. I am also not cheesy, I was so serious loving her.
But now, liking Hillary seems so magical and I feel like I will never stop it. It makes me feel beyond happiness once again.
She suddenly held my hand, "tara na, may dalawang beaches pa tayong pupuntahan," aniya at hinila na ako pabalik sa bangka.
Our next destination is Calintaan Island, wherein the big Subic beach and small Subic beach are located. Doon mas lalong pinkish ang mga buhangin, pero meron ng mga tao roon, unlike sa Tikling beach na bihira lang magkaroon ng maraming tao.

We went back to the Villa so exhausted, but we enjoyed this day so much. This will never be forgotten. Hillary is now in her room, having a rest, while here I am trying my all best to sleep, but I still can't. Sobrang pagod ako, pero pakiramdam ko ayaw ko pang matulog!
Lumabas ako ng kwarto, then I go outside. And to my surprise, I saw Hillary, sitting at the grasses. "Hey," napatingin siya sa'kin at naupo na rin ako sa tabi niya, "ba't 'di ka pa natutulog?" tanong ko.
"Hindi ko alam," sagot niya at bahagya akong natawa. "Sky," sobrang seryoso ng boses niya nang tawagin niya ako. Tiningnan ko siya, pero nakatingin lang siya sa kawalan. "Magdadalawang taon na nang malaman kong mahal kita," mas lalo akong nakinig sa kaniya nang sabihin 'yan, "anim na buwan na ng maghiwalay kayo. Isang buwan na ang lumipas nang umamin ako sa'yo, at limang araw na ng sinabi mong gusto mo ako," tumingin siya sa'kin at bahagyang ngumiti, "ngayon, kailan mo tuluyang makakalimutan ang pagmamahal na ibinigay mo kay Veia? Kailan mo 'ko mamahalin?" natahimik ako agad. We're now placed in silence.
I didn't know why she asked me that. I gave her a letter right after we went back here in the villa. Tsk, it simply means she didn't read it.
