105 You Will Never Be Happy (1/2)
The newly married couple's tour today was the most diversed tour because, aside from islandand beach hopping,they were visitingcaves andsandbanks. Among their destinations were the famous Entalula Island, Snake Island, Pinagbuyutan Island and the famous Cudugnon and Cathedral Caves.
As a nature lover herself,these travels with Jim would be one of her most unforgettable moments. She would not trade these trips for the city's biggest mall attractions, nor for a famous, international singer's concert,neither for offers of great salefever.
Most of all,these were romantic travels with the man who loved her more than the lures of fame and wealth.
After being greatly awedbyenchanting lagoons, lush forest greeneries, marble cliffs, crystal - clear waters and pristine beaches,they were then captivated by the peculiar features of the caves.
One of the caves they had gone to was the famous Cudugnon Cave.
It was known for its magnificent formations ofcrystal - like stalactites and stalagmites. Theawesome cavernous and rocky formations of ceilings and walls brought about inexplicable wonders.
Somehow, those were somewhat eerie as those were inhabited by swallows and bats.
According to historic significance of the cave,it is an important anthropological site, where jewelry and pottery dating back to the Sung Dynasty (960-1279 BC) were found. The anthropologists believe that the cave dwellers were from Borneo, and travelled across the ancient land bridge that connected Palawan from Borneo. Theories of Neolithic people and burial ceremonies with reference to the cave have been put forward.
Jia clung tightly to Jim. She was always afraid of the dark and the possibilities of creeping creatures that might had lurked in rocky corners. Afraid that she might not be enjoying anymore,Jim decided to leave the place earlier than the alloted time.
They,then,proceeded to the island where they would stay for an overnight camping. After setting up the tent, they started grilling up their food. They wanted to be sitting idly together to watch the sunset until the dark would finally take over.
When darkness totally captured the place,they decided to stroll along the shore line. Unexpectedly,they bumped into a couple who were squatting on the sand.
”Dr. Grace?” Jim greeted her first.
”Dr.Jim, what a small world again.” Dr. Grace smiled.
”Indeed.” He then turned to Dr. Aijohn. ”Hello,Doc John.”
”Dr. and Miss Wayne,hello! Nice to see you again. It's really nice to spend a night here with the one you love.” Dr. Aijohn sincerely greeted them.
”Yes,and the best way to unwind .” Jim replied. The two ladies just remained silent, listening to their men.
”Dr. Jim,how about you stay for a while for a chat? ”Dr. Aijohn turned to Dr. Grace.It was his best chance to observe them.
”Sweetheart? ” Jim turned also to Jia.
”Fine. ”
So,Jim and Jia sat down on the mat opposite Drs.Aijohn and Grace.
Dr. Grace pulled out some bottled drinks on a cooler near them and handed it to them. She also opened up a big packs of mixed nuts and potato chips.
”Dr. Jim,how's the training? ” Dr. Aijohn asked as he picked up bits of chips.
Soon, the conversation between the two menignited and both the women got bored. Jia,was leaning on Jim's side on a fetal position while holding her phone. Dr. Grace remained munching her nuts,almost consuming the whole pack by herself. It was such a trouble to be caught in between two men, a man he loved and a man who tried to establish his love.
Being bored, Jia decided to reactivate her facebook account. Once opened, a notification popped up about Anthon's post. She hurriedly opened it and sawphotos of him and Jian on a waterpark. Her son looked happy and excited and Anthon was either holding or looking at him lovingly.
