"How many Islands are closer to this big sea?" Christy asked the tour guide whom she had employed.The tour guide replied, "there are about ten islands but it would take a long time to check out each one of them. My guess is that whoever you are looking for is already dead. It would be best for you to give up and go back to Panama.""No, I cannot do that," Christy replied. "I will only give up when I am absolutely sure that Angelo is gone. Please I need your help to check these ten islands one after the other.""I cannot help you with that" the tour guide replied. "But I know someone who could and he even has a yacht. Only that it would cost you a whole lot of money.""Money is not the problem" Christy replied. "Just get me to him. I strongly believe Angelo is still alive." ~~~~~~~Isabella stood by the shore and rinsed her hair as well as her body. She once again looked behind her and smiled when she saw that Angelo still had his back on her.She liked this version o
Isabella and Angelo kept jumping and raising their hands. They stopped when it became obvious that the yacht was coming to them and happily hugged each other.The yacht finally stopped by the shore and Angelo and Isabella noticed that there were just two men inside it. One was the sailor while the other just stood there eating an apple.Apple was Isabella's favorite fruit and the moment she saw it, she began to salivate but, she knew that it was more important for them to get off the island so she controlled herself and smiled at the men.The men came down from the yacht and Angelo who was still wearing his briefs ran towards the rocks and took his trouser which had become dry because he didn't want to leave while wearing only his briefs.He also wore his singlet and took his white shirt for Isabella to wear since her red gown was still wet.When Angelo left, Isabella who still stood there noticed that the two men were staring at her body lustfully and suddenly felt uncomfortable.Ang
Isabella began coming down from the tree. Meanwhile, the man who had struck the stick on the back of Angelo's head ran to the yacht and took out a knife.Isabella saw him moving toward Angelo with the knife and ran to stop him as she screamed at the top of her voice, "Angelo, he's got a knife"Angelo slowly stood up from the ground and turned to face the man just as he stretched out the knife to stab Angelo, however, Isabella came in between the both of them.Isabella screamed as the knife was stabbed into her arm, close to her left cubital fossa. Angelo held the man's neck tightly with one of his hands, pulled out the knife from Isabella's arm, and stabbed the man in his shoulder. He pulled out the knife immediately and pushed the man backward, causing the man to start bleeding. The sailor at this point got up from the ground, ran back to the yacht, and turned it on.When the man who had been stabbed in his shoulder saw that the sailor was about to leave, he slowly ran to the yacht a
After hearing what Angelo said, Isabella kept silent and let him do what he wanted. It was true that they were currently in no position to fight off any attackers who might be drawn to them by the distress flag she had put up.When Angelo was done with the pole, he came to Isabella's side and helped her to sit up. "Let me see the stab wound," he said as he slowly unwrapped the piece of cloth from her injured arm.Isabella winced in pain and Angelo did his best to comfort her. Although he wasn't feeling so good himself, Angelo knew that he needed to be strong and assist Isabella as much as he could.As he stared at the wound, he looked at Isabella and said, "we have to sear the wound." Isabella knew that he was right but she still said, "no Angelo, I wouldn't be able to bear the pain."Angelo spoke calmly and said, "you will just have to bear it Isabella because we have no other choice. If this wound gets infected, you might have to be amputated eventually. Do you want that to happen?
Both Isabella and Angelo badly hoped that it wouldn't rain. Isabella remained on the floor while Angelo sat on the other side of the fire observing her.After a while, she sat up and said, "I feel very hungry and thirsty." Angelo realized that since they had coconuts in the morning, they hadn't eaten anything else as they had both been carried away by their predicament."I'll get the coconuts," he said while feeling grateful that they now had a knife. He took it to the water and washed as much as he could before breaking the coconuts on the rocks one after the other and sharing the water with Isabella.He took out the copra with the knife and handed some of it to Isabella while saying, "now, we at least get to chew like human beings."As she accepted the coconut and began eating, Isabella prayed silently that it wouldn't rain because if it did and her wound became wet, the pain in her arm would be unbearable.As it was, she couldn't even move her left arm. She hoped that it would beco
Isabella stood in front of Angelo, blocking his path. "Please I beg you, Angelo, don't go into the forest, we don't know what is in there.I know you are tired of eating coconuts and I understand how you feel but please listen, my arm is still in pain and I need you if something were to happen to you, what will become of me?"Angelo shook his head at Isabella, "and here I thought you were worried about me. You are just thinking about yourself.""We are saying the same thing Angelo" Isabella replied. "Just as I need to stay alive to help you, you also need to stay alive to help me."Isabella suddenly opened her eyes and said excitedly, "when I was inside the sea before I began to drown, I saw a lot of fishes.Now that you have a knife, and you are a strong swimmer, it would be quite easy for you to catch one or two fishes.At least you would still get to taste something else and it wouldn't be as dangerous as going into the forest."Angelo thought for a while and tapped Isabella on the
"Why do you keep staring at me? Is there something on my face?" Angelo couldn't help asking Isabella because he felt she was acting weird. Ever since he came out of the water, he realized she was acting differently around him.He completely believed that Isabella was head over heels in love with Steve so he did not read any such meaning into her actions. He just felt she was acting really weird. 'Could something have happened to her while he was inside the water?' He thought to himself.Despite Isabella's protests, Angelo took the stick from her and made sure she didn't squat anymore. He ordered her to open her mouth and when she did, he slowly began to brush her teeth.Isabella could feel her heart beating fast. Angelo seemed so focused on what he was doing that Isabella could not help but wonder who the real Angelo was.No man had ever brushed her teeth for her before and Angelo was the last person she expected to do something like that. The fact was that Angelo didn't really need
Isabella decided to keep quiet and watch Angelo roast the fish to his heart's content. Although it wasn't something she had done before, the way it looked made her doubt if Angelo was good at this.Angelo soon finished roasting and took out the fish from the fire with his knife. He happily cut one of the fishes into two and was shocked to see that even the insides were completely burnt.He cut the second one into two and noticed the same thing. Refusing to believe his eyes, he cut open every part of the fish completely and threw everything sadly on the floor.He looked at Isabella and noticed that she was trying hard not to laugh. "What the hell do you find funny? I merely caught the wrong fishes that's all."Isabella smiled at him, "you just murdered those innocent fishes for no reason. Now that you have finished roasting your fish, please help me with the coconuts."Angelo grudgingly stood up and broke one coconut for Isabella. When he broke the second one, he drank the water and be
