Lie To Me

Chapter 27: 27

"How many boats do you think they will be using for as all?" Daryll asked.

"Three boats, maybe. They can only take twelve people per boat, except for the one who will operate."

Russel answered.

"We're at least fifty." Henry said.

"Four boats then." Gab butted in.

"Have you been there yet? The coordinator knows you and Ma'am Jia." Ruth asked.

I turned to them. They were looking at us.

I nodded. "Last 2018." I answered.

"How about you, Russell?" Ruth.

"2018 also." He answered.

"Really? Same tour?" Kurt butted in as well, still curious.

"I don't know. I don't remember those with us." I answered.

I didn't say anything after that. Everyone was also busy boarding the boat.

Four boats were used. Only twelve could be taken on a boat so the three of us had to be separated.

Even if I don't like that, I can't object.

Nico, Paula, and Marvin moved on to the other side. There should have been three boys, but since

Nico and Paula are couple, Nico pleaded to be with Paula in one boat.

We started sailing and the guide also started teaching.

"You think run, it's a volcano, and that's Mt. Mariveles. It's a stratovolcano and they say the last

eruption was in 2050 BCE. It has a height of 1,388 meters or 4, 554 feet ... "

"I think you run." Point it to the right.

"That's Mt San Miguel, in Barangay Sisiman here in Mariveles. It's a rock mountain with a height of 700

feet. The minimum time to reach its peak is only 20 minutes of trekking. You'll see the only Lighthouse

here in Mariveles. " The guide, Kuya Roy, continued.

We sail more. Reaching the entrance of the coves.

"Before we go in there." He pointed to the front. "I'll explain first why it's called Five Fingers. We called

it Five Fingers because like the space between our fingers, that's the location of each cove. And each

one has a different beauty.” Its introduction.

Talaga Beach, Apatot Cove, Pulong Kawayan Cove, Tinanlakan Cove, and Nagbintana Arch. He

named and explained each cove.

We continued sailing and later stopped at each cove. We can get off the boat for a swim and a walk on

the beach. We also went down two coves that can be cliff diving.

I let my team enjoy while I was left on the boat. Just got off when I was able to take a picture on the

sand and then went back to the boat.

"How are you, Ma'am?" Kuya Ben asked, he’s the one operating the boat; we were the only one left

inside.

"I was the one who saved you last time." He told me.

"I remember you, Kuya. I’m okay now,” I answered.

Of course, I remember him. He was the only one there at that time, with the number of people with me,

he was the only one who saw that I was in danger.

"It's good that you've recovered. Honestly, Ma'am. I feel sorry for you then. You're crying even though

you're having a hard time breathing, maybe you're too scared." He said.

I nodded and smiled slightly. "Yes. I'm so scared then." I said.

"Isn't that man your boyfriend, Ma’am? The one sitting at the end earlier." He asked.

Russel is with the team, Daryll pulled him in.

"He’s not my boyfriend anymore." I said. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

The old man scratched his head, shaking it while grinning.

"Oh, I’m sorry. I’m being nosy." He said.

I laughed a bit.

"It's okay, it's been a long time." I said.
