Tessa accompanied Ally to their house to say goodbye to her father and siblings about their plan on the farm. They said they would go home tomorrow afternoon. Ally then reminds her brothers to take care of their father. She told them to cook their food and do their household chores. She reminded her father of the schedule in taking his medicine. She then placed some clothes and other necessities inside her bag. On their way to the bus terminal, Tessa notices Ally’s sadness on her face, but she told her that it would go well. While waiting for a bus, Tessa contacted her mother and told her that they are approaching. Tessa’s mother was busy preparing for their dinner that night. She explains to her mother the situation of Ally, so she took pity on her. Coincidentally, the weather is good. The moonlight is bright, and the flow of their trip is good while they are on their way. When they arrived at the family of Tessa, they happily greeted them. The mother of Tessa embraced Ally and imm

Ally then spread her both palms a little distance from the fire, feeling some heat from it. She enjoys watching the fire consuming the woods. She then weaved the smoke using her hands to make mosquitoes fly away from them. Tessa makes fun of her watching her weaving the smokes. In their surroundings, the sounds of the chirping crickets and the hooting of the owls add a meaningful night in their conversation. They are amazed at the fireflies gathered around the mangrove trees flashing their lights. It catches their eyes as the lights of the fireflies synchronizing their flashes creating a spectacular display. The stars in the sky are shimmering while the moon is shining brightly enabling them to watch the views that surround them. In a few minutes, Ally turns her eyes to Tessa when she heard her humming. She admires her on how she calmed herself that night. Tessa closed her eyes while humming along with the sounds of nature in their surroundings. Then Ally goes back to the lounger an

Ally enjoyed her company with the family of Tessa. She feels happy watching them talking and eating. The family is grateful for what they had. They live a simple life away from the city and are comfortable with their way of living. They considered their farm as their little paradise. She adorned the mother of Tessa on how she cares for them. After a while, she remembers how her mother abandoned them and the pain left in her heart. She began to compare her situation while looking at the couple and Terry laughing with one another. Suddenly, Tessa bumps her side. “Hey! You feel like swimming, aren’t you? Where is your mind going?” Tessa jokingly asked her. “It is okay! You can be like that,” she added as if trying to get Ally’s attention. “Yeah! I am okay. Sorry,” Ally answered and smiled at Tessa. “You want to go swimming?” Tessa convinced her, showing her a thumbs up. “Yeah! But what about Terry’s assignment?” she asked worriedly. “No problem!

“Do you know what Terry whispered at me?” Jerry turned to Tessa. “What is it?” asked Tessa. “He wanted to drive the skiff boat,” he answered. “When did he learned to drive?” Tessa further asked. “Three months ago. I taught Terry to drive because I was getting tired of traveling from place to place. That time, my friend who owns a resort asked me to build him cottages, so I traveled going there morning and afternoon. So, I voluntarily teach Terry to drive so he can take over driving instead of me. That young boy easily learned how to drive. He immediately knows how to start the engine and do navigate. Anyway, he is there with me always when I go travel doing some works. So, he had watched what I did when driving. Tessa, have you noticed the list your mother given to me? I do not know where to buy the other items,” Jerry asked his daughter and looking at the front mirror. “Yes, I will show you, papa. Maybe we need to drop Ally first at her house

“Hey, Jim Han! Somebody is calling,” said Max holding the phone. “Why is that you left your phone in my room? “He added worriedly. “Who is calling?” Jim inquired while talking with his other friends. He then excuses for a while and takes the phone, but the call stops. “Ah! No! It is Ally,” said Jim Han, surprisingly looking at the screen. “What?” said Max frowning. “But it is just a number. No name. You mean you never saved the number of your girlfriend?” he said curiously. “Yes! I do not save a lot of numbers. I feel tired of saving those numbers. It is a burden to me. But I know the last three digits of her number,” he said and smile. “You are funny, men. You do not want to have, does it?” Max responds and bends her neck, for he was intrigued. “Of course not! I do not want to get burdened; you know. Life is short and easy. If you do not want to be happy, then you are lonely. If you are lonely, then you got sick. If you got sick, then your fa
