Breaking dawn: Finally the Drake's group arrived safely at the island of Mariana. Captain Joseph Milan ushered them to get ready unload their stuff, baggage, luggage or hand carry bags. Together with his crews he wished them well for a holiday of fun and a holiday they wont ever forget.
Buckets full of seafood: lobsters, oysters, crabs, scallops, clams, abalones, prawns, and shrimps, including squid and baby octopus are then brought at the dock to be carried by the natives.
"I know you love seafood so all those buckets of fresh ocean creatures will satisfy your stomach for three days of feasting," the captain said to them.
"Thanks a lot Captain Milan," everyone give him a handshake and for the best ride they ever had.
The troupe were then welcomed by Lolo Apo, the village's caretaker. Larry and Martha were already on the way to their cottages when suddenly macaws of different breed swoosh flying so low above their heads. Fluttering butterflies and dragonflies are almost everywhere.
Martha can't help exclaimed, " My goodness! This is paradise. I would love to live here forever."
The other women also admired the serenity but awesome spectacular view of the botanical garden filled with lush greens, tropical plants and trees. Flowers such as hibiscus, magnolia, ylang-ylang, sampaguita, camia and cadena de amor flourished the area. There are kalachuchi trees and yellow bells climbing vines crawling on the narra trees. There are banana plants and lots of coconut trees. The coconut trees are everywhere and probably in thousands or more than that number. It was truly amazing compared from the dry climate and dry scenery from where they came from.
"This place looks untamed and uninhabited for so many years. " Theodore said in admiration of the place.
Then somebody stepped on a exotic weed on the ground and she screamed, "what is this?" I haven't seen one like this." Pointing at the "makahiya" a plant too sensitive when touched. It's a weird plant with lots of leaves but thorny stems and when you touch it the leaves closed instantly, like it withers and died but after few moments resumed its fresh delicate leaves back to life.
While they were all at the village's ground Marie was still at the dockyard, Marie's cellphone rings. She managed to have her stuff on the wooden bench at the dock and got hold of her cellphone right immediately. It was a frantic call from Olivia.
"What's wrong? she asked Olivia. You wont call this earnest if there's nothing wrong. Marie asked her.
"There is something goofy at your study room," Olivia said. "A creepy black thing at your room and it's moving like crazy." She continued to tell her.
"What do you mean?" This time Marie knew what she meant. Is it the one on the desk?
"That's right! You'd better come home right away. Like right now!!" Olivia's voice trembling as if don't know what to do.
Marie told her to calm down and locked the door of the study room. Then she can inform the secretary at the lobby what's going on. She knows what to do. For the meantime I want you to book in a hotel nearby until I arrived. Okay take care, she assured Olivia that everything will be OK.
