Cailly's POV

After a very long 5 hours drive!!! Here we are at Mammoth Lakes, because there are areas that is only accessible by trails only, so we are doing our camping at the Twin Lakes near the Mammoth Lakes Basin, para makapag swimming din naman..

Twin Lakes...

"We are here!" Luke said and we put out all the things from the compartment

"Ayos tong location natin Luke ganda ng view oh!" sambit ko habang pinagmamasdan ang ganda ng nature and the lake

"May nakita akong mas magandang view, alam mo kung saan?" tanong nya sa akin, kaysa mapahiya ang mokong hinayaan ko na lang ang trip nya

"Saan?" tanong ko

"Sa harap ko!!" sabi nya, sinasabi na nga ba akong tinutukoy nito eh

"Ayun!! Pumick up lines pa!" asar ni Kuya Adrian kay Luke

"Kuya wag naman basag trip dyan!" say ni Luke

"Alam nyo mabuti pa magset up na tayo ng tents!" say ni Sab at nagsipag ayos na nga kami ng tents

"Teka? Paano ba set up eh by two lang tong dalawang camping tents?" tanong ni Kuya Adrian

"Ako okay lang kung ano, kung by gender or by partners, ikaw Cai?" tanong sa akin ni Sab, nagkatinginan sila Kuya Adrian at Sab

"Hoy!! Di purkit magjowa na kayo ah! anong tinginan yan ah?" react ko kila Sab

"Best, nasa edad na po tayo, di na tayo mga bata, nasa atin na kung anong desisyon ang gusto nating masunod.." si Sab

"Kaya nga naman Cai, malalaki na tayo, tsaka alam naman natin ang limitation natin di ba Sab?" tanong ni Kuya Adrian kay Sab

"Tama!! Tsaka wag kang mag inarte dyan best, dahil ang alam ko di lang naman to ang unang beses na magkatabi kayo matulog ni Drei di ba?" say nya sa akin *gulp* updated talaga ang babaeng to sa showbiz happenings ng buhay ko eh

"So nakapagdecide na kayong by partner ang sharing ng tents?" tanong ko

"Wait, si Drei pa pala, what you think Drei okay lang ba ang idea namin ni Adrian?" si Sab talaga, tinignan ko kung ano ang magiging response ni Luke

"Uhm..okay lang as long as we know our limitation, tsaka alam nyo naman ugali ni Cai, maglalagay yan ng harang sa gitna kaya okay lang sa akin ang gusto nyo!" say ni Luke at nagpatuloy sa pag seset up ng tent

"Oh paano ba yan Cai, mabait naman si Drei eh, tsaka always remember the limitation okay? Di na siguro kayo lalagpas don since di pa naman kayo ulit di ba?" si Sab talaga, intriga agad, gustong gusto agad makatabi si Kuya Adrian, maharot talaga

After namin magset up ng tents namin, pahapon na so, kanya kanyang lakad muna kami around Twin lakes, dahil bukas maghihiking kami..

Nagsolo muna sila Sab at Kuya Adrian, pinalayas muna kami sa campsite dahil sila na daw maghahanda ng foods namin for tonight and bonfire, so heto kami ni Luke naglalakad lakad, walang pansinan kami, dahil alam nyo kung bakit? nakasalpak lang naman ang earphones nya sa tenga nya kaya kahit dumada ako ng dumada dito di nya maririnig, hanggang sa nakarating na kami sa gitna ng forest, di pa rin ako pinapansin ng mokong na to ah

"Hoy!! Baldomero nasa kalagitnaan na tayo ng forest di mo pa rin ako pinapansin!" sabay tanggal ko ng earphone sa tenga nya

"Ay sorry Cai, ganda kasi ng music habang naglalakad lakad tayo dito!" pagmamalaki pa nya

"Kaya nga napasarap ka ng kinig dyan sa cellphone mo di mo na namalayan nasa gitna na tayo ng forest, galing!!" react ko sa kanya

"Alam mo ikaw, kaysa magmaktol ka dyan, halika nga dito maupo muna tayo dito sa may bench at makinig ka rin dito sa music na pinapakinggan ko!" umupo na si Luke sa may bench na tanaw ang view ng lake ang ganda kahit papalubog na ang araw, well umupo na rin ako sa tabi nya at sinalpak sa tenga ko ang isang pares ng earphone, maganda nga music, puro the script ang kanta

        🎧"Superheroes - The Script" 🎧

All her life she has seen
All the meanest side of me
They took away the prophet's dream for a profit on the street

Now she's stronger than you know
A heart of steel starts to grow

All his life he's been told
He'll be nothing when he's old
All the kicks and all the blows
He won't ever let it show

'Cause he's stronger than you know
A heart of steel starts to grow

When you've been fighting for it all your life
You've been struggling to make things right
That's how a superhero learns to fly

Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power

When you've been fighting for it all your life
You've been working every day and night
That's how a superhero learns to fly

Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power

All the hurt, all the lies
All the tears that they cry
When the moment is just right
You see fire in their eyes

'Cause he's stronger than you know
A heart of steel starts to grow

When you've been fighting for it all your life
You've been struggling to make things right
That's how a superhero learns to fly

Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power

When you've been fighting for it all your life
You've been working every day and night
That's how a superhero learns to fly

Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power

Power, power, power, power, power
Power, power, power, power

Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power

Power, power, power, power
Power, power, power, power

Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power

She's got lions in her heart
A fire in her soul
He's got a beast in his belly
That's so hard to control
'Cause they've taken too much hits
Taking blow by blow
Now light a match, stand back, watch them explode

She's got lions in her heart
A fire in her soul
He's got a beast in his belly
That's so hard to control
'Cause they've taken too much hits
Taking blow by blow
Now light a match, stand back, watch them explode, explode, explode, explode

When you've been fighting for it all your life
You've been struggling to make things right
That's how a superhero learns to fly

Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power

When you've been fighting for it all your life
You've been working every day and night
That's how a superhero learns to fly

Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power

Power, power, power, power
Oh, yeah...
Power, power, power, power

Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power

Power, power, power, power
Ooh, yeah
Whoa
Power, power, power, power

Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power

When you've been fighting for it all your life
You've been struggling to make things right
That's how a superhero learns to fly

"Cai? Cai?" naalimpungatan ako, nakatulog pala ako sa balikat ni Luke

"Sorry, nakatulog pala ako sa balikat mo.." sambit ko sabay ayos ng upo

"Okay lang, actually nakatulog rin ako sa may ulo mo, nagising lang ako sa liwanag ng buwan, mag 6:30 na pala, tara balik na tayo sa campsite! Baka naghihintay na sila Kuya at Sab.." sabay tayo ni Luke and offer ng kamay nya sa akin

"Thanks!" sabay hawak ko sa kamay nya and we walk our way back to the site

"Para saan naman ang thank you mo?" tanong sa akin ni Luke

"For staying by side, di mo ako iniwan while I fall asleep on your shoulder.." I honestly said to Luke

"Pwede ba yun, tsaka alam mo Cai ang shoulder ko ay always available para sayo, kung iiyak ka, kung matutulog ka, Engr. Luke Andrei's Shoulder is always available for Ms. Cailly Amber!!" pagmamalaki pa nya ah

"Ang baduy!!" ngiti kong sabi sa kanya

"Sayo lang.." balik nya sagot sa akin

After a couple of minutes walking, nakita na namin ang bonfire sa site..

"Finally!! Dumating rin ang feeling mag jowa.." tukso sa amin ni Sab

"Loka Best!! Feeling ka dyan?" depensa ko

"Bakit kayo na ba?" tanong nya sa akin

"Hindi pa, tsaka wag kang atat best, dadating ulit kami don di ba Luke?" tanong ko kay Luke

"Yup, kaya nga may Baduy ways muna bago yun, tsaka Sab intindihin mo na lang si Kuya okay?" pagtatanggol sa akin ni Luke

"Alam nyo, mabuti pa ay kumain na tayo, kanina pa ako gutom sa kakahintay sa inyong dalawa.." say ni Kuya Adrian sabay upo sa camp chair, bali apat yun, nakapalibot kami sa bonfire habang nakain

After eating our dinner...

"Game! May panghuli ng isda ka bang dala?" tanong ni Kuya Adrian kay Luke

"Yup, ako pa ba!!" nagyabang pa si Luke

"Yabang bro, marunong ka bang mang huli ng isda?" tanong sa kanya ni Kuya Adrian

"Oo naman!!" confident na sabi ni Luke

"Ganto na lang, kami ni Cai ay cheerer nyong dalawa kaya kung sino pinakakaunti ang nahuli, silang pair ang magluluto ng dinner okay ba?" si Sab, para paraan eh

"Para-paraan ka best, halata eh!!" sabi ko sa kanya, at ngitian lang ako ng loka...

"We are set tomorrow, okay time to get some sleep, Sab lets go?" yaya ni Kuya Adrian kay Sab, ang loka taas ng ngiti oh

"Sure thing My Musician! Kayo best? Drei?" tanong sa amin Sab

"Mauna na kayo Sab, papahangin muna kami dito ni Cai, di ba?" tingin sa akin ni Luke

"Oo, mauna na kayo best, magana ka naman eh sa ganyan best, sweetdreams!!" tukso ko kay Sab

"Loka!! Dyan na nga kayo ng Loveteam mo!! Night!!" pumasok na si Sab sa tent nila ni Kuya Adrian

Naiwan kami ni Luke, habang pinagmamasdan ang liwanag ng buwan na nagrereflect sa lake..

"Sleepy?" tanong sa akin ni Luke

"Di pa masyado!" sabay hikab ko

"Di daw inaantok, kung gusto mo na matulog, una ka na sa tent sunod na lang ako.." say niya

"Sira, iwanan kita mag isa dito sa labas ganon? samahan na kita hanggang sa antukin ka.." I said to him, he looks at me in the eye and he smiles

"Like you said earlier, Thank you for being here with me.." he said to me still looking straight at me in the eye

"I know that you are still waiting for me to say those words for months now, but still I kept to myself those words from saying to you kasi I want to enjoy this Baduy ways of yours and to know you more than before, I'm glad that you manage to wait for me a little longer, Thanks Luke for your patience! I really do appreciate it!" I said to him looking at his eyes smiling

"You are worth to wait Cai, I will never regret doing those Baduy Ways for you, because it is exclusively just for you!" he said, I think my face will explode

"Ang cheezy!!! Tara na nga matulog baka pa umulan ng kabaduyan dito!!" sabay hila ko kay Luke papasok ng tent, pinatay muna namin ang apoy sa bonfire..

In Our Camping Tent...

"Goodnight!!" he said to me sweetly and kissed my forehead softly, we are facing each other while lying on our foam syempre may malaking unan kaming boundery

"Goodnight!" I said smiling at him

"Kailan pa bang may boundery?" reklamo nya sa malaking unan

"Hoy!! limitation remember?" paalala ko sa kanya

"As if naman masunod yun sa likot mong matulog.." say nya

"Alam mo ikaw ang dumi ng utak mo.." sambit ko sa kanya

"Di ka na nasanay, this is not the first time remember? Kaya --" di na nya tinapos ang sasabihin nya at hinila nya ako sa kanyang bisig at niyakap ng mahigpit

"Luke..." reklamo ko

"Sssh!! Mas masarap kang yakapin kaysa sa unan, tsaka malalaki na tayo Cai, we know the limitation, tsaka good boy ako noh, okay?" say nya sa akin

"Okay fine, panalo ka, yakap lang hah? walang iba!?" paalala ko

"Promise! Tulog na tayo!!" sambit nya sabay kiss ulit sa forehead ko sabay pikit habang yakap yakap ako

"Okay, Goodnight Luke!" and I also fell asleep hugging the guy who always at my side protecting me even we still kept on copping for the lost years, I'm glad we met again..
