Under a small Nipa Hut, eight people took shelter, waiting for the the rain to stop.
Stuck in a small shelter, everyone join the conversation for them to slowly know each other.
And this girl named Scarlet, her blue eyes keep looking at Wei even if he's not the one who's talking; obiviously had already developed feelings for him.
Two hours of continues rain, finally stopped for the group to hike again.
Fourty minutes later, they finally reached the village of Batad.
The first thing Wei did is to ask the locals if there's a Manghihilot/Healer nearby.
Lucky the foreign girl is, there's a family who has many members with the gift.
So before it get dark, someone went to call any member of the family that can hilot/heal.
Finally, Wei is idle to take care of himself.
Beacause there's no vacant room in every Inn, Wei and his group will stay with Scarlet's group's rooms.
There are two rooms and Scarlet insisted for Wei to stay in their room which has two beds.
She even let her borrow a set of loose girly clothes, used a boyleg cycling for women as underwear.
The footwear, bought a hiking slipper in a small store.
Also buys groceries as a gift to the Manghihilot/Healer because the real blessed ones don't accept payment, with a belief that their ability will be weaken.
The wet clothes, it's good there's a small laundry shop for him to send it there.
Coming back to the room, the healer was already massaging Scarlet's sprained foot and you can see that the swelling has decreased.
It only took only a few minutes for the healer to threat because the injury is fresh.
Wei was the one who went to thank the Manghihilot as he hand over a bag full of groceries.
Now that his work his done;
*Well, stay here and rest. I'm going to see my friends.
Scarlet want to say something but didn't continue and just nod.
Of course the boy can guess basing on that blushing cheeks so he was in a hurry to leave the room before the girl change her mind.
Went to the next door and knock.
Because all the friends of Scarlet are all with her in the other room, it was Regeene who open the door.
*I'm here to get my stuff and talk about tomorrow's plan.
*Well, you can come in and let's talk inside.
Not knowing the situation inside, went in and close the door.
When he turn to look, saw Vinna who's only wearing a thin nightdress, unconsciously went to turn around not to imagine things.
*What an exaggerated reaction. I'm not naked for you to look away. It's just that I'm comfortable with you so you can see me like this.
Hearing this, the boy went to sigh before turning around and find a seat to sit on saying;
*Well, what's the plan tomorrow?
With no vigilance of being seen in a revealing clothes, Vinna simply;
*We don't have anything to do sothere's no need to rush. We can leave together with Scarlet's group. I'm sure she still need to be carried.
*Then let me talk to them later. Anyway, are you going outside for dinner like than?
And was directly;
*Of course not. I just want to feel comfortable after wearing fitted clothings for the whole day. By the way, your phone keep ringing. I didn't check because it's not mine.
*Well, I don't mind but thanks for the consideration.
Said the words as he take out the phone from his bag.
Went to see the miss calls and was surprisedto see that it was his promoter.
He also sent three messages and the main content is he want him back: no explantion and apology.
Was already made up his mind to retireand if ever he want to box again, only if he's stupid to return to his old promoter who abandoned him.
So with no hesitation, went to block the number.
*Well, get dress for us to have our dinner.
*Why,,, did I see it right? Is that your future wife who's with you in the pixelated picture on the back of your phone? She seems to be a rare beauty? Come on, show us a clear picture of her or we're not going anywhere.
The boy has nothing to hide for him to show his phone's wallpaper.
Vinna snatch the phone to see the girl's face clearly and can't help to;
*Really,,, is this the childhood friend you're talking about? Did you use filter? But you don't look handsome in this picture so it should be her real face. Damn it, I thought it's just an average looking girl but look at that beauty, I can generously give her 10/10 rating. And then when I look at your face, a proof that love is blind: really a thing to feel,,, not see. Well, I'm rooting for the two of you and wishes the best.
Finished uttering the last word and return the phone for her to change.
As for Regeene, gave him two thumbs-ups smiling...
