Blue and Divan are both teaching instructors in the same university but of different campuses. Blue a 33 year old man who’s been a jack of all trades is honestly a virgin. While Divan, a mother of one, married much older than Blue. She’s 38. But though with simple looks her eloquence and smartness catches everyones attention. Including Blue’s. It all started when they were both in their M.A. Class. He cant simply take off
his attention from her because of her sweet voice. Much more on how she deliver her lines during discussion. This simply amazed Blue. And one day they just find themselves as bestfriends.With Divan being married this didnt hinder them. There’s always been respect but of course the part when friends took time out to throw punches at each other was the most enjoying part of them.
They would text each other. Go out with other friends. Blue found himself drawn to Divan.He would sometimes jest that he wanted to be with Divan in an airconditioned room but Divan didnt mind it. Blue would confide at Divan. Including girl related issues. People sometimes would comment on how they fit in with each other. Their professors in M.A. would say that if they didnt know Divan is married certainly they would conclude she’s Blue’s girl. Much to Blue’s likeness Divan would just keep silent. She never felt affected. They continued to be best buddies. Blue as Divan’s best critic and Divan as Blues’. Divan never felt the gravity of how Blue felt for her until she was invited to be a speaker in one of the activities sponsored by Blues’ campus. With the place known for the famous virgin beaches she immediately said yes. She left for the island on a first trip being so excited. She wanted to savour the fresh cool breeze on an early morning travel. The vessel was not full of
passengers when it sailed for the island.
She was awed by the beauty of the island’s form and color and her thoughts ran wild..excited too. She can wear her newly bought two piece. The vessel reached the port without trouble. The passengers disembarked. As Divan walked out of the port she rode a habal habal to the town and went to the place of activity. Blue told her that she’s booked at the nearby hotel but being so stubborn herself Divan wanted to stay with Blue. In his house ..in his room..
And Blue’s heart pounded . He cant trust himself knowing his feelings for Divan. Blue’s feeling for Divan cannot be hidden anymore..his actions were too bold. As if he is the boyfriend.. Though Divan didnt mind that afternoon when the first day activity concluded she felt something different too. With all the years of controlling the emotions she felt it all rushing out.
She’s in the island with him. Far from her family..whatever happens no one will know..except God..Blue ang her..
