The young people are traveling far away and they were aboard a cabin cruiser driven by a millennial named Mang Berto they are on their way to Pangasinan and will take them another day before they even reach the far side of the island called Paradise Island to conduct a documentary video on tourism in the Philippines on their subject Philippine History and Geography.
The group of friends composed of Diannelyn B. Tiama, her half-brother Jonathan Bustos as well as Alejandro O. Sales, and transfer student Marielle P. Jalla got together for the first time while they were joined by students in the other section: Jhun Mark R. Malabunga, Marvin Ocado (Diane's ex-boyfriend) and her date Myka May Maravilla.
It is still quite an awkward situation, on the one hand, every moment that Marvin and Dianne meet is disgusting. Especially now that her ex-boyfriend is with another woman on their long trip. Although Dianne is still in the healing process, she has just endured the constant avoidance of why she can somehow cope with a little emotional pain. Dianne is still in love with him. She needs to let go of the feeling and move on.
"Mang Berto, how long is our trip?" Alejandro asked as he stared out at the depths of the sea.
"The place is still a bit far and it will take us another day before we reach that Paradise Island according to this map." Mang Berto replied while looking closely at the map but despite this, he felt a bit heavy as if his chest hurt.
" Are you okay, Mang Berto? You seem to be feeling bad, how can I let you rest? " Alejandro's advice was worried as he looked closely at Mang Berto's situation.
"Mang Berto, isn't drinking lambanog bad with you?" Marvin said as he approached the two men.
Mang Berto drank almost three glasses of lambanog yesterday before they traveled he stumbled into a corner where his former friends called him. He also drank a lot but that was the only thing that could have caused his illness, whatever they ate and drank on the cabin cruiser had no effect.
"It doesn't exist, it may just be caused by the extreme heat of the weather. I will feel better too. " He comforted the two young men as he turned the steering wheel of the car.
"Well !!!! drink up, gentlemen ...... May suddenly appeared in front of them holding a goblet with only alcohol. Her shapely body was obvious while wearing a backless bikini and torn shorts. Her porcelain skin was even more pronounced by the color of her clothes.
"Whoa !!!! what are you drinking? Alejandro asked, obviously surprised by May's sudden appearance.
"Hey ! There's nothing wrong with that, we're not young anymore so we can't drink. Besides, boring !! let us break the silence. Come on !!! Drink up !!! " he continued to give the wine but Alejandro looked enticed so he drank the wine straight from the cup.
" Go. Good boy. So come on guys.... Come here to the cabin. Manong Berto excuse me huh," May waved her hand to show they need to leave.
" Alright! Alright, kids. And tomorrow we will reach the island. " Mang Berto said.
By that time May had already lured the two young men to the lower part of the cabin where the other party mates were located.
There is a bedroom in the lower cabin, especially the two separate bedrooms for women and men and also the room for the living room. Better spacing for a small party session.
The cabin cruise is owned by the father of Jonathan and Dianne and Mang Berto is just one of their parents' trusted staff so the young people are entrusted with his care.
The room was filled with loud sounds, scattered junk foods, crackers, and biscuits, and three large bottles of gin were exposed throughout the living room. Young men danced with May while Dianne and Marielle sat on one side and chatted with joy while sipping the bottled wine.
" Oh girls come and join us, it looks like May is the only one who enjoys you." Jhun Mark cheers while enjoying eating chips while dancing at the table.
Jhun Mark and his nickname were JM is an easy-go-lucky and party-goer and he is also one of the top students of the other section, although he is not like others who are very hard and diligent in their studies, he is still focused. in his education even though his learning strategy and technique are still effortless and seemingly mysterious.
"No thanks !! were fine !!!" Dianne replied.
"By the way, how are you here in the Philippines Marielle? Tell something about yourself "asked Dianne who looked curious about her new classmate.
"Well, my parents started a business here in the Philippines so I ended up here. We are happy and I hope I have many friends at school. " Shy recounting this to Dianne.
Marielle is a Filipino American and it is not easy for her to quickly adapt to nature and culture in the Philippines but she tries to adapt and mingle with her new acquaintances especially at the University she is currently attending.
"I hope you'll be our friend too." Alejandro replied.
Meanwhile, Alejandro is a genius freak and good at operating and handling gadgets made by his eldest brother following the luxury of his parents, all the gadgets that he hated for a few months are given to him, because of being a patient child and even a rich child, he knows how to live and does not choose a friend.
"Yeah for sure. Hehe " Marielle replied softly.
"Why ? Will the three of you just chat there or will you join together?" Jonathan was somewhat annoyed at what he saw the three colleagues doing.
Jonathan, on the other hand, is running for cum laude and like Jhun Mark, he can study, hang out and play at the same time, but as the eldest brother, he has learned to sacrifice for the good of his family and his education.
"We should carry them three for more fun." Naughty idea by Jhun Mark.
Jonathan, Jhun Mark, and Marvin went down to the table and they quickly lifted Alejandro up to the table with both arms because of that, the women continued to laugh. But when they thought that their friends would not do it, they were mistaken, Jonathan and Jhun Mark followed to lift Marielle, the girl blushed a little with embarrassment... she immediately went up to the table but Dianne... .their eyes were right. of Marvin and at that moment he was with May, clasping her arms as if unwilling to let go. At that point, he did not wait for his friends to pick him up but went up to the table alone. She joins Marielle in dancing while she can't take her eyes off Marvin and May.
May grabbed the gin and handed it to Marvin, while the young man shared in the drink and felt a strange taste in the wine he was drinking.
"Did you mix anything here?" Marvin asked May.
"Nothing! It's just a drop of love my dear." It was obviously red with excessive intoxication. But she still didn't beat the flirtation and she tightened her grip on Marvin even more. He's a priceless possession. May twisted her hands in each direction and gently brought her lips close to Marvin's.
"We found love in a hopeless place .......
We found love in a hopeless place (Loud sounds can be heard)
She quickly pulled Marvin away and showered him with a series of kisses on the lips. Loving and worldly.....She seems to be out of circulation but she doesn't care what others who see them say. Marvin didn't refuse even though he was shocked by what May did because of the tight grip on his shoulder he couldn't lie down. Those moments were on fire and Dianne witnessed the even more insulting feeling that Marvin continued to give her.
Dianne was very annoyed but she had no choice but to retaliate. She also danced with Jhun Mark and showed that she had to be happy so she drank a lot of alcohol, flirted with Marielle, Alejandro, kept up with her brother's mocking.
They drank alcohol, danced while they were so drunk that they didn't care what they were doing. It was almost dawn at their party and they didn't realize what time they were asleep, they also forgot. the presence of Mang Berto who is busy re-operating the vehicle but unbeknownst to them the old man is gradually weakening and at any time he can die.
The poison mixed with the alcohol he drank seemed to have taken effect, he had been fighting it for days and it was time to charge. Traces in his form are fading, dizzy, and almost paper on the very pale.
