Joining His Voyage CHAPTER 24
I woke up in the middle of the night. I just had a bad dream. I sighed deeply and decided to get some water. I bet it's still three in the morning. Halos wala akong marinig kundi ang yapak ng aking mga paa at ang malakas na hangin. Pumunta ako sa kusina para kumuha ng tubig. Medyo gumaan ang aking pakiramdam nang nakainom na ako. I sat at the counter and enjoyed the silence. I stayed in the kitchen for a bit before I decide that I should go back to my room. Nasa hagdan ako nang biglang kumulog at kumidlat kaya napatili ako sa sobrang gulat. I covered both of my ears and shut my eyes because of fear. I hate thunders and lightnings. "Dwyn?" tawag sa akin ni Fauve. "I am sorry I shouted. Nagulat lang ako." paghingi ko ng paumanhin kay Fauve. Nagising ko ata siya sa sigaw ko. "Where are you from? Why are you outside?" tanong niya sa akin. "I had a nightmare and so I decided to get some water." I explained. "You want me to walk you to your room?" tanong niya sa akin. "No. It's f
Joining His Voyage PROLOGUE
I woke up coughing and spitting out the seawater coming from the inside of me. Ang mapait na tubig dagat ay pilit kong ibinubuga para lamang makahinga ng maayos. I didn't mind whatever is happening around me, all I wanted is to breathe. The last thing I remembered, was a sinking ship and I am fighting for my life. Paano ito nangyari? Hindi ko din alam. Then it all started when; "What is this again kuya?" I asked him. I am very tempted to remove my blindfold. Ito kasing kuya ko, daming alam. "Hang in there, you're inside your room." he's holding my hand, guiding me para hindi ako madulas o mabunggo. He's very gentle. Maraming taon na ang lumipas. Ilang pagsusubok at problema na dumating. Araw, gabi, oras, segundo, min
Joining His Voyage CHAPTER 1
I saw a ghost of smile in his lips when I told him that I want to join. "Well then, be my guest." ani ng Kapitan sa akin. Naghalad siya ng kamay para tulungan akong tumayo. Agad ko iyong tinanggap dahil natatakot ako na baka magalit siya at ipapatay ako. I looked down for me to see my leg. Dumudugo iyon dahil malaki ang sugat ko. Noong nandiri ako sa paa ko, ibinalik ko ang tingin ko sa kanya at tinignan niya lang ako gamit ang blanko niyang mukha saka inikot ang kanyang mga mata sa paligid. Sinundan ko ito. Shit! Nasa gitna kami ng karagatan! What the hell! Nang sumilip ako sa ilalim, I saw some parts of our ship, 'yung sinasakyan namin kanina. Other than that, mga bangkay nalang na lumulutang at wala na. There's no island nearby. No sight of survival. Agad na napatulo ang luha ko, kung buhay pa si kuya, at sabay kaming nakaahon, hindi din naman ka
Joining His Voyage CHAPTER 2
Tumikhim ang Kapitan dahilan kung bakit kami napatingin sa kanya."This is Benjamin. He's the quartermaster, my right hand." turo niya sa lalaking nasa tabi niya. I smiled at him binigyan niya din ako ng tipid na ngiti at tinanguan."Maven, the boatswain. He is the one supervisoring the boat. Checking everything in it. His substitute is Lark." tinanguan ako ng lalaking nasa tabi ni Benjamin kaya ngumiti ako sa kanya."Junger the cabin boy, he run errands for me." the Captain explained while pointing Jungle."Junger? That's Jungle." I corrected him."What?" he asked. And then everyone looks at me confusingly."Your name is Jungle, right?" I asked the boy."Junger po Miss, hehe." sabi ni Jungle na si Junger daw sabay kamot sa kanyang batok tila ba nahihiya.I heard the Captain chuckled sexily when he saw my eyebrows ceased.

"How was your sleep last night?" the Captain asked."It was good not until I feel something weird in my feet, 'yun pala may bruise na." I narrated."Just don't force yourself to walk or run. I will ask Junger to assist you until pagaling na ang paa mo." he said at tumango naman si Junger na nasa tabi ni Benjamin."No need. I think I can handle myself." ani ko. Nakakahiya naman, parang pabigat lang ako dito."I know you can handle yourself but you can't handle yourself yet. Don't be stubborn, you're the only lady in this ship then expect that all the man in here will treat you like a princess." He told me.I blushed on what he said. Nakakahiya talaga."Is there any rule that I should be aware of?" I asked him."Nothing much. Just be kind to everyone in the room. Do not make any stupid decision and let the crew do their own job. If you want to learn something, do tell." sabi niya sa akin while looking at me intently.Woah. A pira

"Pinagsasabi mo Jungle?" I asked him saka tumawa ng malakas.Sumimangot lang siya sa inasta ko. Ang cute!"Totoo nga Miss. Kasi kung hindi ka niya gusto bilang tao, hinding hindi yan magdadalawang isip na sasagipin kahit may mga pating at isinama pa nga sa biyahe." parang naiinis na sabi niya na gusto niya talagang ipamukha sa akin 'yung punto niya."Okay. Whatever. Huwag ka nang magalit, pumapangit ka." sabi ko sa kanya sabay tawa.He just blushed at that but he keep me company while I'm stuck in my cabin.Weeks had passed and I can walk freely na without pain.The wound gave me a scar on my skin that makes me conscious and insecure about myself but luckily, mahahaba ang mga damit na sinusuot since wala namang maigsi kaya natatabutan ang scar ko.I'm now wearing a cream colored off shoulder dress na para talagang pang prinsesa noong simaunang panahon. Mas gusto ko nga iyon. I'm living my life as an aesthetic girl."What's the

I woke up not so early in the morning kasi mataas na ang sikat ng araw. The rays of the sun touched my skin. It feels so warm. It feels like home.Umunat unat pa ako and took a deep breath. Mabilis akong napa-upo ng tuwid noong napansin kong hindi ako nasa kuwarto ko."What the hell? Where am I?" bulong ko sa sarili ko noong nakita ko ang kabuuan ng kuwarto.If my room is like a room of a princess, then this room looks like a room of a king!Gold and silver colors were scattered everywhere. Mukhang mamahalin ang mga gamit sa loob. The room also smell so manly. I think, this is Fauve's room. But why am I here?The sheets were grey and black. There's a small side table with a lamp. May nga gamit din dun like pens and some things that Fauve use.The structure of this room is similar to my room, the only differences are the colors and things.&
Joining His Voyage CHAPTER 6
The coldness of the water spread throughout my body. I slowly opened my eyes even though I know it will hurt because of the salty sea. I saw beautiful corals underneath the water. There are sea creatures minding their own lives. Swimming, crawling, dancing with the waves they feel free. I looked far away. I saw darkness. The ocean's mystery. Then, I remembered something. I went out of the sinking ship quickly with my bleeding feet. It was raining, it was dark. Yet, I can see the sun setting down. I don't want to look back, for I will remember the tragedy. Now, I feel nothing. I feel numb. I'm so lost. That was my thoughts before darkness finally consumed me. Naramdaman kong may bumagsak sa tabi ko kaya bumalik ako sa tamang wisyo at biglang natakot. Napagdesisyonan ko na ding unahon. Good thing I'm a swimming, I know how to control my

Hindi ako nakatulog ng mahimbing dahil sa sobrang daming iniisip. With what happened, I do not know who to trust anymore. It turns out that the person I love, just want to have revenge because of what happened to his parents. The fear, anger, and sadness I saw on his eyes yesterday was enough for me to say that he can twist the afate and take a revenge on me.Minahal niya ba talaga ako? Tinatamad akong bumangon at nagmukmok nalang sa kwarto ko. Dinadalhan lang ako ni Gina ng makakain."He is not here. You can go out if you want." sabi niya sa akin noong hinatid niya ang aking tanghalian."Where did he go?" tanong ko sa kanya."Dinig ko lang ay may kikitain silang mga kaibigan sa kabilang isla. Baka mamayang gabi pa sila makakauwi. Kaya kung gusto mong lumabas sa iyong silid, sabihan mo lang ako para alam ko kung saan kita hahanapin." sabi ni Gina sa akin."Why are you doing this? Bakit pinagsisilbihan mo parin ako?" tanong ko sa kanya."Hindi naman kasi sinabi ni Kapitan na huwag kan

"What the heck are you talking about?" I asked him and he just scoffed at me. "What? Ganito nalang? Anong hindi ko alam? Ano ang mga dapat kong malaman? Tell me, Fauve! Tell me!" Sigaw ko sa kanya. It's frustrating. My curiousity is killing me. Bat siya galit sa akin sa bagay na hindi ko alam? It is not fair. "It will kill you, Dwyn." malamig na sabi niya sa akin. "Matagal na akong patay, Fuave." This isn't living anymore. When they died, I died with them. "I will tell you everything. Wala na akong pake ngayon kung ano pa ang mawawala sa akin. I endured this alone for so long. Maybe I deserve to let this out." pag uumpisa niya. "Can you seat?" he asked me. Agad din akong umupo sa tabi niya. My Fauve is back, the gentle one. He stared at me like he's going to miss me. "Can I kiss you?" he asked me even if he did not have to. I leaned in as a response and he gave me a passionate kiss on my lips and on my forehead. "I do not know what will happen after this, Dwyn. I might lo
Joining His Voyage CHAPTER 21
Hindi ko na namalayan ang oras. Lumubog na ng tuluyan ang araw pero parang ayoko parin bumalik sa palasyo. I am tired of socializing. Susunduin naman ata ako ni Fuave dito kapag naramdaman niya na matagal na akong nawala. I just want to be alone for a while, but I know that I have to go back to Fauve's house. I know that I have no choice but to go back there. There's still an after party, I know people would ask for my presence. Naghintay ako ng ilang oras, pero walang Fauve na dumating. "Baka nagsisiyahan na silang lahat dun." sabi ko sa sarili ko. Were they that happy for him to forget that I am gone? Few more minutes, I decided to get up and go back. Nang medyo malapit na ako sa palasyo, naririnig ko na ang mga tawanan ng mga tao sa loob. They are happy celebrating. I plastered a smile on my face before opening the back door and greeted the handmaidens there. There are busy pacing back and forth. Umakyat na muna ako sa kwarto ko para ilagay doon ang gitara ni Fauve. Pumas

"Happy Birthday, my love!" bati sa akin ni Fauve pagkalabas na pagkalabas ko sa aking kwarto."Thank you, love." I hugged him.Halos hindi pa ako nagigising ng tuluyan, bumabati na ang mga tao sa loob ng bahay sa akin.Birthday ko pala ngayon? That was the least thing that I was expecting to start my day with. Kay tagal na din pala. Isang taon na din pala. Parang kailan lang."Sabaw pa ang mahal ko, hayaan niyo na muna." sabi ni Fauve sa kanila nang nakita niyang natutulala ako.Hindi pa din kasi ako naliligo. Sabi ko kasi kakain na muna sana ako bago ako maligo, pero parang mali ata ang daan na tinahak ko."We have a celebration here later. Is that fine with you?" tanong sa akin ni Fauve noong nakaupo na kami sa lamesa para kumain ng umagahan."Of course, love. Bakit naman hindi?" tanong ko sa kanya pabalik. "Baka mas gugustuhin mo kasi na simple celebration lang. I invited all the people in the island." he looked at me like he is observing my supposed to be expression."You what?"
Joining His Voyage CHAPTER 19
"Are they there already?" Fauve asked Gina."Benjamin and his wife were already there Sir. 'Yung iba naman po ay papunta na." sabi ni Gina.I'm still finding something to wear, and it's taking me so long because I want to wear them all. This is the worst part of the day everytime I want to go out."You ready, love? They're waiting." Fauve asked me for the nth time. Nasa labas lang din siya ng kwarto ko."Not yet. Wait." I told him that for the nth time already."What's taking you so long? Mind if I come in?" He asked me."Of course." sabi ko sa kanya.And with that, he opened the door and saw my stressed face, the bikinis in the bed, and the scattering dresses everywhere."Wow." sabi niya. He just stood there, probably processinng everything."Yeah. I know. It's a mess. I do not know what to wear." I told him while standing beside the bed with my hands on my hips looking so stressed."Red if bikini, and white dress." sabi niya sa akin nang matapos niyang i-scan ang mga damit sa kama k

Naglahad siya ng kamay para tulungan akong makababa sa kalesa. We were silent until we reached to the door of my room. He opened the door for me and looked at me for a minute before he finally opened his mouth to say something."What do you want do tomorrow?" he asked me."Will you be busy tomorrow?" I asked him. I want to be with him, but I don't to bother him if he's busy."I'm going to examine the books tomorrow after breakfast." he told me."I'm going with you." I told him. Wala naman kasi akong gagawin. I am a stranger to this place. Well actually only known as Fauve's lover or something like that."Sure you can," sabi niya sa akin.We cuddled until I felt sleepy."I saw how baddass you were while fighting them. That was hot." He whispered while he's caressing my hair to make me feel more sleepy. Alam na alam niya kung paano ako paantukin."Oh yeah? I never ever thought I could survive that." I chuckled a bit."You were so protective. I feel so honored." He said."I just can't a

Aruba. So this is it. I never thought that this place would look like a paradise. The people are waving at us. Junger blow the large horn as a symbol of our arrival. Some of them looked confused as they see me in the front deck with their leader.Umihip ang malamig na hangin. They rays of the setting sun is kissing my face, giving me a warm feeling. It feels surreal. Hindi ko akalaing makakapunta ako sa isang lugar na kagaya nito."Welcome to Aruba, Stimacion." Fauve whispered. Nilahad niya ang kamay niya saka tinulungan akong makababa sa barko."Bon Bini," bati ng mga tao sa amin.Tumatango naman sa Fauve sa kanila samantalang ako, hindi ko alam kung anong gagawin. "Bon Bini, means welcome. They are welcoming you, love." sabi sa akin ni Fauve habang nakangiti. Kung gayon, ako pala ang sinasabihan nila? I suddenly feel the awkwardness kasi nakakahiya na nakayuko lang alo while they're welcoming me. "Love, you do not have to be shy. This is my territory, you are very welcome her
Joining His Voyage CHAPTER 16
Mahimbing ang tulog ko dahil katabi ko si Fauve buong gabi. Maaga din akong nagising dahil hindi ako mapakali at para bang may bumabagabag sa akin. I get up and do my usual routine before going out. As usual, mga crew agad ang bumubungad sa akin pagkalabas na pagkalabas ko, pero ngayon, parang balisa sila na ewan. I looked at the surroundings, the sky was still gray, the ocean was still. Hindi din mahangin at parang strange 'yung feeling ko sa lugar na ito. Caribbean Sea was the first thing that comes up into my mind. Ito na ba iyon?I thought it's only in the movies to see the dark sky and to feel a strange feeling in this place."Magandang umaga, Binibini. Pinapatawag ka na po ni Kapitan sa hapag." sabi ni Jungle sa akin. Nagulat ako dahil ng pormal niya, pero sumunod nalang din ako. His boots are the only thing that is creating a spund as we head to the dining room. Pagkadating ko doon ay natahimik silang lahat. Binaba din ni Fauve ang librong binabasa niya at ngumiti sa akin
