We talked in circles both of us won't give up on our side of the bargain. I don't want to stay while doesn't want to leave. I'm not giving up but looks like I won't win either. He fell asleep on the couch while I stayed tied in the bed. The next day came, I'm so hungry. He untied me he laid down his plan for the day while we are eating breakfast.
" This property is bought by my Dad 5 years ago, I've been staying here when I'm not abroad before I get to your dad's company so I know this place so well. I will show you the horses later. Then we will visit a lake. Maybe we can catch a fish while we let the day pass. How do you like that? He stated as if we are back to being a couple.
"I don't want any of this I just want to go home." I answered directly. "We will be staying here for the whole week. I already informed your father about this and also Talia so she knows you can't go to work." He informed me and continue finishing his food. With out the car key I can't leave this place so technically, I am somewhat stock here. I have no choise but follow his command. Maybe if I tried following his orders for 2 days he would change his mind and we can leave this place early. I tried my best to just get along with his plan. But unlike before, I can't be happy totally happy doing this things with him. Our first activity is to ride the horses. I can t even appreciate this beautiful place even the horses which are so stud and big, he definitely imported this animals abroad. They have total of 15 horses, he just told me now that 5 of them are already kids of 10 original horses. This farm is actually big, with cows, goats and other animals too. We have to pass over some trees planted intentionally to bear fruits. "It's not the season of mangos so I have no mango to offer you. I can ask Manong Toring if he can find a ripe jackfruit, maybe you will like that." I continued to show no interest in all he says. I manage to ride the horse now by myself. If I keep a slow phase then I won't encounter any trouble with this horse. I'm riding a brown one while Verin is riding a black one, he said he can't find a pure white. If he does he will surely buy it for me but it will surely be way more expensive than the horses he already has. Mang Toring found a ripe jackfruit indeed but it's so big so he can't accompany us anymore near the lake. Veron dismissed him so he can bring the fruit back to the villa. While we continue to the lake. It would take us 20 minutes to get there since this property is big. Riding with him is so boring so I tried to make my horse run a little faster.
"Andrea be careful, you're still a newbie. You shouldn't ride fast." He told me. I hugged the horse tightly so I won't be needing any help from Veron. In 15 minutes we reached the lake. My heart is beating fast, I actually like riding. I went down my horse and pet that beautiful stud. Veron is approaching as well just seconds far from me. I watched him goes down his horse he is actually equally gorgeous as these horses. But I just can't look straight at him right now. My mind is closed of appreciating beautiful things. I sat down the small boat which is already prepared beside the lake. Veron brought our lunch to the boat and prepared the fishing rod as well. The lake is peaceful but my mind is troubled.
" Do you want to eat now or you want to try catching a fish first." I showed no interest in any of those things. I turned my back at him. I took the paddle instead. Contrary to who should actually hold that paddle, I just want to reject anything he offers. He came close and hugged me, he set his face on my left shoulder. " We should have done this long time ago. If only I'm not busy, I could have brought you here earlier." He whispered softly. I elbowed him in respònse. " I'm paddling and you're disturbing me." I answered. He ordered me to stop in the middle of the lake and hand me a fishing rod he prepared earlier. He talk like he is in a fishing tutorial in youtube though I'm not listening, he still continued talking. He shut up when he saw he needs silence to actually catch a fish. He tried to excite me with all the fish he catches but I answered him with a poker face. I caught nothing, I'm already bored for waiting in hours I fell asleep on that boat. I don't know how long but I saw Veron is staring at me when I opened my eyes. "Its already 4 pm. I didn't wake you up because you are sleeping at peace. Are you hungry?" He asked. "I want to go home." That's the only thing I know to say then. "I don't want to go anywhere. I just want to stay here with you. See I caught 5 big ones. Do you want to see them?" He showed it to me even without my permission. He continue his monologue. He hand me the food this time. The caretaker prepared rice and adobo. I ate in silence, Veron continue to watch over me.I don't know what is on his mind but he creeps me out everytime he does that. He can easily drown me on this lake when he lost his patience. I should take a break with rejecting him. I should know how to balance his mood as well. I took a sip of water afyer that meal. "Let's go home." I told him. "Not yet," he answered. "I actually like this place, it's so peaceful. I haven't fish for so long. When we go back to the city we can't do this anymore." He came closer and tried hugging me again. I pushed him instantly. Instead of giving up he forced himself towards me, he kissed me forcefully. I kicked him so hard making him fall to the other side of the boat. With all that force the boat went imbalance and we fell to the water. It's too late for me to regret it I'm already in the water. Veron came to the recue right away. All the fish fell as well and manage to scape. We are lucky we can swim. Now we are wet. Veron row the boat back to the dock. "I'm sorry I forced myself to you. I just want to take advantage of the beautiful scenery. I tought you will appreciate all this as well." He said. " Well I don't so let's just go home."
