Dinalayan Falls
Dinalayan Falls
“UH, I’M GLAD that you and Franco have a small talked.” I cleared my throat and looked over the
window.
“He’s my brother. I don’t want to make things worse,” he told me.
I gave him a small smile before leaning on his chest. He was right; it looks like Franco will have no
problem because I am comfortable that it will not do anything wrong.
“Okay, let’s go!” Jocko shouted, and the car sailed away.
I just waved at Clarence, who Doris carried. We did not include him and baby Kyzler in this trip
because we will climb to get to Dinalayan Falls. We will definitely have a hard time with them. Besides,
it is an isolated area and no electricity yet.

WHEN WE REACHED Dinalayan, we took a long walk to climb the rocky road.
Lawrence was able to support me. At first glance, it seemed easy to climb the rocks, but I was sweating
profusely because the place was steep. We spent a few minutes before I could hear the murmur of
water coming from the waterfall.
I heard Julia and Ally scream when I saw them going down into the water. Excited, I began to take off
my rubber shoes.
“Are you going to swim now?” Lawrence asked gently.
He bent down and helped me remove the strap of my rubber shoes. In the end, I just let him do that.
But he stopped for a moment and looked up at me. His eyes were dark, but I could see a bit of
gleaming with clarity.
“Can you still walk? Let’s take a few more steps. I want to show you something.”
“I’m tired, Lawrence,” I jutted my lips to his.
“I would carry you at my back if you want,” he said, his lips curled up to a smile.
Eventually, I also agreed to what he wanted. I do not know how many minutes we have been walking. I
prefer to focus on the giant trees that have grown old over time.
Until I see a stream that is probably a continuation of the Dinalayan Falls, it was not too big, but
obviously, the water was a bit shallow. I clearly see the smoothness of the rocks underneath.
“We’re here. It’s better to bathe here. The water is not too cold,” he said.
“It’s nice, Rence,” I whispered.
I backed away when he started to take off his T-shirt and lay it on the grass. He sat down and gently
tapped the vacant part.
My lips twitched. I watched him for a while, then looked at the lake. I didn’t want to sit next to him, but
my legs were numb because of the long walk, so I finally saw myself sitting next to him.
Silence fell between us; only the gentle murmur of the water can be heard. Even the gentle breeze
seemed to deafen us.
“I talked to him last night before coming here. I said I would not continue the wedding. I also do not
want him to come closer to you,” he said thoughtfully.
I glanced at him, and a foolish smile flashed on his lips.
I just stared at him. I do not know how I will feel at this time. Maybe there was a thorn pulled from my
chest, so I could not help but be infected by his smiles. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“You look better when you smile. As much as possible, I don’t want to see you cry, but I’m stupid and
don’t have balls to do that,” he said. I heard the moaning of his mouth after saying that.
I bent down and played with some flowers at my feet. “You don’t have to do that because many things
give me a reason to smile. Our son is already there,” I said and smiled softly.
I looked up when he suddenly stood up, and without saying a word, he took off his pants.
“Wait, what are you doing?” I stammered, eyes widening while watching him undress.
“I think we should go for a swim. I’m too sticky because of sweat. Wanna come?” He held out his palm
to me.
“I’ll take off my shoes first,” I said, but I was shocked when he squeezed my hip and carried me
towards the lake. I screamed not because I was tickled but because I could definitely soak in wet with
my clothes.
“My shoes!” I screamed.
But he just quickly pulled my shoes off and threw them on the dry side of the ground.
I did nothing when he threw me into the water. I thought that part was just shallow, but I sank and
chased the breath of the ascent.
I heard loud laughter filled the surroundings.
“Are you insane?!” I pushed his chest, but he didn’t even move.
Instead of answering, he pulled me closer to him and hugged both arms around my hips. I lifted my
chin and threw him a glare.
He stunned me when he tightened his grip on me. He slowly fell his head down and whispered a soft
tone. “Please, I don’t want to quarrel with you. I just want to feel your warm body like this.”
My lips quivered. I could feel the trembling of my knees, not because of the cold but because of our
closeness.
I screamed as he lifted me again and threw me into the water. This time I swam with him underneath.
We were filled with laughter as we emerged from the water. Now I just also saw how he pulls too much.
I hope we are always like this, those who do not think about problems and are free to do what we want
to do.
But I know it’s not that easy. It was nice to think that we would still be together in the end, that there
would be no obstacle.
Hopefully.
We returned to the waterfall while holding hands. They turned to us almost at the same time. I even
heard Jocko whistle as we approached.
“Where did you come from? Looks like you just enjoyed it, huh?” Franco asked with lips twitched a bit.
Lawrence only gave him a nod and tapped him on the shoulder.
“Margaux, let’s go to the waterfall!” With Julia’s kindness, I did not refuse when she pulled me towards
the waterfall.
“What are you wearing? Take off your clothes; they’re all wet!” Samantha said while immersed in the
water.
I looked down at the T-shirt I was wearing. Ashamed, I could do nothing but take it off and the shorts.
All I was left with was my red bikini.
I saw the men turn to me. It also struck Lawrence, who was drinking the beer they were carrying. He
gave me a dark look as I raised an eyebrow.
My heart was thumping so hard. I decided to jump into the cold water because I couldn’t bear the look
he was throwing at me.
I swam towards the falls because the water was so passionate that I could not approach. I just fit in the
splash of water and the cold air it brings.
I stared at the feeling of someone beside me. My lips loosely hang as I watch his firm naked body. It
seemed like art when I watched the splash of water on his big shoulder and chest.
He washes away the splashing water from the waterfall.
