CHAPTER 5

Two hours before our flight ay narito na agad kami sa NAIA. Ang flight namin ay 1:00 PM kaya 11:00 AM pa lang ay narito na kami.

Nang matawag na ang flight namin ay sumakay na kami sa eroplano. Ilang minuto pa ang lumipas ay nag-umpisa ng magsalita ang piloto. Hindi rin nagtagal ay umandar na ito.

Mahaba ang magiging byahe namin papunta sa Greece. Dahil nga sa Europe ito ay aabutin kami ng 12 hours, kung hindi pa maglalay-over. Dahil direct flight ang nasakyan namin ay 12 oras kaming nakaupo rito.

Sa loob ng labin-dalawang oras na iyon ay wala akong ginawa kundi ang matulog at kumain. Si Kurt naman ay abala sa pagbabasa ng libro niya.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit ganito ang taong ito. Tapos naman na kaming mag-aral pero siya ay parang gusto pa ring mag-aral dahil sa binabasa nitong libro tungkol sa pamamahala ng kompanya.

Hinayaan ko na lang siyang magbasa dahil wala rin naman akong gagawin kundi ang matulog. Dahil sigurado ako na mapapagod ako sa paglilibot rito. Isang buwan ba naman kasi ang bakasyon namin.

Pinili kong pumunta sa Greece dahil dati ko pa gustong mapuntahan ito. Masyado lang mahigpit ang bansa kaya bihira ang pinapapalad na magpabalik-balik rito.

Pasado alas-osto na ng gabi ng marating namin ang Athens. Ala-una ng madaling araw kung nasa Pilipinas ka. Dahil gabi na rin ay nagpasya kami na tumuloy muna sa isang hotel malapit sa airport. 

Sa Sofitel Athens Hotel kami nagcheck in. Dahil mas malapit ito sa airport. Nang makapagcheck in kami ay agad kaming nagparoom service ng pagkain. Matapos kumain ay nauna na akong maligo. Dahil medyo may jetlag pa ako ay nauna na rin akong matulog pagkatuyo ng buhok ko.

Kinabukasan ay maaga kaming nagcheck-out. We need to buy ticket for the ferry. We're supposedly going to Santorini, but I changed my mind and choose Mykonos instead.

From Athens, we choose Golden Star Ferries. The ferry crossing duration from Athens to Mykonos Port ranges from 2 hours 30 minutes to 5 hours 15 minutes, depending on whether you're traveling with a high-speed or standard ferry. 

Since we choose Golden Star Ferries we arrives Mykonos Town at exactly 2 and a half hours. We took a bus heading to Paraga Beach.

Paraga is the southernmost beach on the island, and can easily be reached by a frequent bus, in 15 minutes, from Mykonos Town (departing from the Fabrika terminal).

We checked-in at Soho Roc House Mykonos. Just down the street from Paraga Beach, and a short walk up the hill from Paradise Beach, this design hotel is found on a scenic location and has spacious rooms spread over a group of whitewashed buildings. It offers a good breakfast and several spots for you to sit in the sun, from the rooms' balconies or patios, to the attractive pool area.

"Aren't you tired wife?" Kurt asked me as I finished fixing our clothes.

"Kinda tired, but I can manage." I smiled at him and kiss him.

He groaned when I sucked on his lower lip and pushed my tongue inside his

mouth. He sucked on it and slowly pulled my dress off my shoulder. When it

fell to the floor, he pushed me to the bed and went on top of me, still

kissing me.

His kisses went from my lips down to my neck. My face heated when he started

kissing my chest. His hand held my mound and massaged it while sucking on the

other one. He did that alternately. I had to bit my lower lip so I wouldn't

moan too hard.

"Let's stop wife," mahinang sambit nito bago pinutol ang halik namin.

Napaawang ang bibig ko dahil sa ginawa niya. Pinulot niya ang dress ko na nalalag sa sahig at isinuot muli ito sa akin. He kissed my forehead softly.

"I don't want you to get hurt wife," malambing na sambit niya na ikinapagtaka ko. Why would I get hurt?

Maybe because his not yet ready for it. I'm willing to give him the thing I've treasured for almost 22 years. Yet he refused me. Maybe next time.

I smiled at him.

"I want to have a daughter. A daughter who looks like you." sambit ko habang nakahiga sa kama. Gabi na pero hindi pa kami lumalabas sa kwarto. Nagparoom service lang din kami ng pagkain.

Pakiramdam ko pagod ako sa buong maghapon dahil sa byahe kaya nagpasya na kaming magpahinga na lang muna at ipagpaliban ang pamamasyal.

"I want our first to be a boy. I want him to protect his other siblings." nakangiting turan nito habang hinahaplos ang buhok ko.

"If it's a boy, what would you name for him?"

Dahil ako hindi ko alam kung anong ipapangalan ko kung sakaling lalaki ang magiging anak namin. Pero kung babae naman. I want her to have Angel as her second name.

"I haven't think about it yet, but I want his first name starts with letter K or C, what do you think?"

"If it's a boy, you would name him anything you want. If it's a girl, I want named her Angel. Because she will be our own angel."

That night we dreamt having a one big happy family.

Kinabukasan ay madilim pa ng lumabas kami sa hotel room. Gusto kasi naming makita ang pagsikat ng araw dito sa Mykonos. The sun bright

Above those tangerine mountains and deep-blue ocean, kissed to their heady blush by the sun, were clouds that moved in shoals. And so the sky was equal parts blue and a chorus of greys, streaked with silvers and golds. The rising sun cast a rosy hue across the morning sky. Golden fingers of sunlight lit up the scene.
