"Geez, I need to get to the hotel, it's almost sundown, and I'm hot and bothered, so I will take a bath," I told myself.
‘argh where am i? I feel like I'm on the other side of the island’ in my thoughts. over there I can see houses so I guess I’m on the other side,wait I’ll call Sia and inform her I lost my way back.
(Calling Sia)
The sun is setting already and you’re not here yet.what takes you so long? >
Uhm I lost my way back there and I think I’m heading to the other side of the island. Can you get me?hehehe
Okay, when you find someone to get me here text me directly what’s her/his name
and she ended the call.
A text receive by Sia
Sia: elle I sent a crew there to get you and he ask if it’s okay if you wait near the houses,or you can go to the wet market there and wait for him?
Elle:okay I’ll just wait at wet market,uh his name?”
Sia: oh his name is Jax
Elle: okay,I’m near at the wet market. I’ll just wait for him.
The houses are made of cement and half plywood, I mean like all of the houses are made of those things, their houses are not gated. Well their houses are so good some children were playing patintero (patintero:is derived from Spanish word tinte {tint or ink} in reference to drawn lines:It’s called “water game” drawn by wetting the ground with water. You just need to block and catch)
Argh I miss my childhood we used to play patintero too. I’m at the wet market now and I saw a vacant chair and went there and sit it’s a bit dark here for sure he’ll have a hard time finding me. It’s been 30 minutes already what is taking him so long? Argh I should text sia

A group of men went to my spot to drink some beer,they’re taking a glance at me and its creepy. Don’t know what’s their real motive but I feel so anxious about it,maybe because I watched so much drama’s and the protagonist was being raped? No people who lives here in the island is kind so they won’t do any harm, I said convincing my self

To:Sia

I’m thirsty,and there is a store behind me. Should I buy? Of course self! You need to, I went there and the group of men is still glancing at me, it makes me shiver.
“ah can I buy a bottle of water?” I asked. “yes of course,are you new here? Wait let me get your water bottle first.” the seller stated,later on she handed me the bottle of water. “Ah I lost my way to the hotel and my feet leads me here, couldn't remember how to get to the hotel. But my friend said I should hang on because she sent some crew and Are there any people you know in this place? Named jax?” i asked because this day is so tiring!
“Jax? Yes I know him he’s my son! Wait but what take him so, I’ll call him can you wait?”she stated. “sure I’ll wait, and it’s my pleasure hehe” later on she return “He said he sent someone he’s friend too and they’re busy because there seems to be trouble in the hotel,so can you wait 5 minutes?,you can come in here while waiting” she said I just smile at her
5 minutes later…. someone knock maybe it’s one of the crew
“auntie marie, I’m here. Jax sent me to,take ma’am elle to the hotel” a baritone voice said
“ah Jules it’s you,oh elle come over so you guys can go now.” Marie said so I obliged
‘’Hello, ma'am. I'm Jules, and I'm the one who's being replaced by Jax. Please accept my apologies for the delay; something came up at the hotel.”
“It’s okay jules so let’s go?” he nodded “Marie thank you for letting me stay.” I sincerely said
“So what happenned to the hotel?”
“Previously, there was a man who went insane and harassed Madam Elysia. I don't mean harassed; it appears that he asked for something and was upset when Madam Elysia did not respond.” Jules answered
‘hmm maybe his ex-*
“ouch”
“ma’am are you okay? Can you walk? What can I help? Oh ride at my back like piggy back.”
“ its okay I can walk I think, just help me to stand up.” and he helped me “thank yo- ow my foot hurt”
“ma’amIt's safer to ride on my back than to walk, because things could get worse. You won't be able to swim tomorrow”
to be continue...
“okay if you insist, I’m heavy hehe” I said and ride on his back. Later on my eyes feel heavy so It closed.
