But the big horse does not slow down. She feels it is accelerating even more! She was almost hit in the face by a branch of a mango tree hanging from the road. Fortunately, she bowed quickly.
The horse jump over the dead trees on the road.
The joy Jessica felt lately has been replaced by fear. She was screaming to stop the horse still ignored. The horse kept running fast. And if it hadn't been for his riding skills from childhood she might have fallen !.
Jessica could not figure out where they would get the horse and when it would stop and how she could stop.
She already felt horrified! When she felt someone chasing him. She thought of Gino. She tried to look at it.
Nick! About a few feet away. When she looked at the young man, her fear was slightly relieved. "Pull the lace tightly, Jess!" the young man shouted.
Jessica didn't even hear that. Nick doesn't want to hit the horse but he has to catch up with Jessica before it's too late!
They went to the plateau!
Almost two horses in a row. Maybe if Nick wasn't riding well, he wouldn't even approach the stallion. "Nick! .. what am I going to do?" wants to panic girl.
"Pull the reign harder, honey!" The young man shouted again.
It tried to calm his face and voice. He did not want Jessica to panic.
Jessica tried to obey but she had no strength in fear. Shr barely pulled the reins! Nick, on the other hand, is still accompanying.
"Ho ... Toro! Ho ...."
And the young man tried to reach the reins held by the girl.
"Ho ... Toro ... Ho ...!" Nick repeated.
The horse slowed down a little when he heard Nick's name and voice. The young man took advantage of it and quickly grabbed the lace from Jessica's hand !.
"Ho ... Toro ... Ho!"
A few more moments and the horse was just walking around. Jessica didn't wait for Nick.
She quickly jumped off the horse. As she descended she saw the households.
They are in the highest part of that land. They are only a few feet away and if the horse does not stop they will both fall!
The tangled trees are below the cliff !.
Jessica was lying softly on the grass. There is a mixture of fear and exhaustion.
Nick approached her after tying the two horses to the tree.
It stared at the blindfolded maiden. Jessica's long, curly hair curls exploded on the lawn. The expression on the young man's face changed.
In Nick's eyes, Jessica's hair is a very beautiful frame on a very beautiful face.
When his eyes turned to the girl's blouse some of the buttons were removed.
Nick's face probably hardened. "Make your self decent!" its strict command.
Jessica was surprised to hear. Eyes widened.
"I am de ...." and she did not finish what she was going to say when she saw where the young man was looking.
The blouse looked red on her face.
"Who made you use that horse !?" Nick asked softly while pointing at the rearing horse.
Jessica could not find an answer. The young man was surprised. And the lips parted slightly. Nothing inside does. Nick's eyebrows met.
"For goodness sake, Jessica! Don't look at me like that!". Resist its anger. Who is angry he does not know.
"Did Manong Berto give you that horse, Jessica?" Nick asked again.
"No ... I forced him! Manong Berto didn't want to but" .... Jessica stammered.
"You forced?" Nick shouted in disbelief at her.
The girl bowed. The pants were covered with small weeds. Come on Nick! .
Forcing Nick to steady.
"Did you know, Nick del Mar, that you are just the first person to shout at me?"
She answered gently but firmly.
"I'll shout at anyone, Jessica, and with reason!". This time Nick did not shout but his voice sounded louder than before. Jessica backed away slightly. He grabbed both of Jessica's shoulders and carried the girl to the edge of the cliff.
"There you will be picked up if I do not see you!". And it showed him the bottom.
She herself could not imagine what might have happened. Jessica was stunned. The young man grabbed the polo shirt and closed his eyes.
Nick sighed. Jessica quickly pulled away from the cliff. This girl tangled my emotions, Nick thought. I have to be determined if I am not to be swept away.
"You spoiled brat!"
Was all Nick could say in an angry tone.
I'm ... I'm sorry Nick ... "
When Gino arrives. "What happened, Jess?". And it shifted its gaze to the two.
"And you're with your boyfriend!". The young man did not know but his anger seemed to increase. "I thought so ..."
Nick angrily rides to Toro and holds the reins of a horse.
"Take it home Jessica, Gino!" authorized its command and operated the vehicle while towing the mother. Gino was left wondering. Jessica turned her head.
"What happened?". I have reached the mouth of the river. I even thought I woa ....
" "No ... let's go home".
Jessica KNOWS that Nick scolded Manong Berto for seeing the old man's face. She will only spend a few moments and she will apologize for it.
They meet Nick as they enter the household. This is a show. He did not even look at her, but glanced at Gino.
"Wow" that man ... Jess! Have I been a lesser man, I will definitely avoid him, "said Gino following the view of Nick riding Toro."
"Better yet, I went home first. "
"I'm sorry, Gino, if I spoiled this day," Jessica told the young man what really happened.
It was also terrified of the possible consequences. "It doesn't exist ... there are many days,". And it also went to his car.
Jessica entered the house sadly. She was about to stay in het room when Claire came out of him. "There you go, Jess ..." Claire said. "Come on a swing and join us for a snack with your dad."
Jessica would have refused but she felt hungry. She Follow the stepmother in the backyard. The father is there and is currently drinking coconut broth. "Wow" Chocolate cake! Jessica exclaimed. Once forgot what happened. And she estimates Nick did not complain to his father.
"I told you, Claire ... She'll forget everything when she sees your chocolate cake" ....
Claire was happy to sit next to her husband. Philip was right when he said about Jessica's weakness was the chocolate cake.
"Is Gino home yet, Hija?" said Philip. Jessica just nodded. She is busy eating. "Hmm .. this one is good .. very good ..."
"Coming from you, I'll take that as a compliment ..." Claire replied smiling.
"Why did Nick come here, daddy?" she asked after consuming a slice.
"Have another slice, Jess .. "said Claire. "I'll reserve that for dinner, Tita. Dessert.
Daddy, you haven't answered me yet, "she turned to his father.
"Ow ... I was informed that he would take Toro to the other hacienda. That horse was a studhorse and only Nick was not dropped before," Phil replied, spooning the soft flesh of the knuckle.
"I wish Nick was on horseback, darling. Horse trainers have taught me to ride in Laguna since he was a child," Claire said proudly. Philip took a napkin and wiped it on his mouth.
"It seems that your brother is very good in almost everything. Since he managed the hacienda the harvest has improved because of the modern methods he used. Other than that he is also good at bringing people. I have not heard any complaints," he said. Philip's story.
"Except for me," Jessica whispered to herself. It's just that Nick can't get along with her. And the only reason it pays attention to him is because she is the daughter of Philip Arenas. And sometimes she even seems to want to think it always annoys him. Earlier, when he shouted at her it was the final straw.
While eating, she decided to cut back on her vacation.
In a week she will tell her dad that she will return to Manila. Maybe when she gets there Nick will be out of his mind.
Quote of the episode : "You know it's love when all you want is that person to be happy, even if you're not part of their happiness" - Julia Roberts
It is a big madness for her to spend her time with someone other than that guy have a girlfriend and does not love him at all. They are always in the middle of a bad situation.
Spoiled brat! That's what Nick thinks of her.
Philip sneezed which was a bit startled by Jessica.
"You're so silent, hija .... did you feel bad for Gino?" His father asked. "No Daddy.
I'm just thinking of something else ...". Philip leaned on the swing and walked over to Claire.
"I like that Gino. Good boy and we know the family ... But hija, it seems like you are still too young for a serious relationship. You're both nineteen .. . ".
Jessica suddenly seemed to want to laugh.
Calm your mind, dad. "I only think of your comrade's son as a brother."
Gosh! Jessica's name any name, which means that Gino has never won against her once.
Philip laughed. "He tap Jessica arm, hija!" He joked. "But then, who knows you might still win there. I have always wanted a boy for my eldest, but you compensated more than enough ..." And it laughed again.
"Your son has a strong personality, Philip. It 's not just men who should be matched ... "Claire said smiling at her husband. Philip nodded and smiled meaningfully ....
THAT morning Jessica decided to swim in the sea for the last time. Later she will tell her father that she will return to Manila the next day.
In the days that followed, Nick and I met. And if they eat at the same time, she will hardly look at it.
She was very upset. She was hurt beyond comprehension. So she thinks of continuing the plan to return to Manila. She is the only one who will make excuses to her Daddy for why he will return to the dorm immediately.....
To be continue....
