Chapter 28: I Saved Him

Athena plans to swim for a while with her sister and friends because they will be leaving the island this afternoon.
 Later, Althaea and her friends were finally arrived. Ginger is the one who talks to them from the start. Afterwards, they started swimming.
Greige decided to pretend being drowned so he can find out if Althaea is really worried about him completely and if doesn't work on her, he will stop chasing for the lady. Giving his all attention for Athena and forgetting about Althaea is probably the right thing to do.
In a few moments, he had promptly carried out the plan. It was easily noticed by Althaea so that she didn't hesitate to run for saving his life.
She knew it was Greige who asking for help. "Althaea!" Zen shouted at her but she ignored it.
 Then, Althaea laid Greige in the sand and pump him. The lady tried it more but Greige can't awake so she continued pumping until she cover his mouth with her lips to give him an air. It felt like an electricity flowed through her body.
Momentarilly, the man awake with a heavy sigh. "Mi cielo!" As Athena called to her boyfriend and she pushed Althaea away from him. "Why did you that, uh?" She asked in anger. "No one can touch him most especially no one can kiss him!" 
"What the hell you say, Athena?" Ginger said in a frustration.
"Your boyfriend is almost drowning so Althaea is eager to save him. Why you just considered it instead of that being jealous. Geez."
"Bez, please stop this now." Althaea is pleasing her best friend.
"No, Althaea. I want to show her that she's wrong. She must say thanking you ahead of redressing!" Ginger stated.
"What kind of sister she is?"
"Alright, I think we may take a rest now." Zen interrupt and Althaea agreed. "Troezen is right.
"Mi cielo, can you please send me to my room?" Athena nodded and helped Greige to stand by himself.
"What's happening here?" As their parents appeared. Marcela stunned as she saw his son still lying in the sand. "Greige!"
"Greige almost drowned, Tita Cela but Althaea rescued her right away from middle of the sea." Harold who presented to explain.
"Is that true, my son?" Mrs. Escorial is checking the condition of him.
"I'm fine, Ma 'and Pa'." The man answered calmly. "Don't worry, I was saved." Her mother stood up and approached Althaea.
"Thank you so much, Althaea for rescuing our son." Greige's mother held her hand that make Athena frowned seeing that scene.
"Nothing, Aunt Marcela. I just did the right thing." As the lady gave a forced smile to Marcela.
"We'll look forward to owning it to you." Greige's father, Enrico promised. Athena, on the other hand, was left speechless. 
"No, Uncle. You don't need to do that." Althaea confronted.
"Yes we do." He replied.
"Can we excuse for a moment to take a rest?" Zen intruded.
"Sure, you can go now to your own rooms." Mrs. Escorial agreed.
They are presently to their rooms. Lying on bed while doing some stuffs on its phone.
Harold is busy touching his phone. "Oh! Bro, you wouldn't think that Althaea is now really famous on Youtube. Try to look this one…." As he continued fiddle his phone and it playfully flaunted to him. "She is amazing." Harold added.
"Then there are videos here with her boyfriend. They have a nice blend of their voices." He observed that Greige is not listening to him so he cause that guy to startle, "Hey, Greige. "Harold in a heavy sigh."
"Uh?" Greige replied. "What is it?" Harold yawned, "It thought me that I'm brainsick here because no one is heeding of what I'm saying."
He leaned to his cousin and sensed that Greige felt bad, "Anyway, are you alright? You seems not feeling well since you drowned." "I'm ok and it was just thinking how Althaea saved my life. She was worrying about me and I saw it to her face." The man stated as he still figuring the scene had occured.
"It's better to watch her videos. Look!" Harold gave his phone to him. "She has a wonderful voice that anyone can fall inlove with her." He amused that made Greige hit him on his head.
"Ouch!"
"Kindly stop dreaming, my girl." He said agitatively. "You're really a player."
 "You're so exaggerated. I just admire her for not only being has fascinated looks but also has an angelic voice." Harold affirmed to imply. "I am certainly admiring her."
Greige murmured with a sarcasm, "If so, you like Althaea too." He punch him some pillows over his head.
"That's not what I meant." Harold argued. "It is naturally I admire her beauty and there's no malice in that." He added.
"Tsk, how can I believe you?" Greige mockingly said.
"Alright, I'm done. It's just Ginger that I honestly love. Happy?"
Harold stated. "You are indeed very jealous."
"You really should." said Greige without leaning to his cousin.
"It impressed me bro even if that lady has a boyfriend, you still love her and you can't let go and forget, Althaea." Harold uttered which has filled of amazement over him. "You defeated me already, bro." said while tapping Greige's shoulder.
"So don't ever fantasize about her because she's completely mine. Cassidy will be with me someday." Greige said in assurance that Althaea and him would still be together at the end.
They also talked about how Athena feels for Greige. He's not worried about it. He will tell the truth to his girlfriend Athena that Cassidy is only one he loves. Even if there is still a problem, Greige will still fight for his love for the girl.
"I'll still support you there, bro no matter what happens. The question is if she loves the way you do?" said Harold.
"Yes I can see in his eyes that she has feelings for me and she just won't admit to herself." Greige muttered in hope.
"Are you okay, bez?" Ginger immediately asked the friend who seemed to be deep in thought.
"Do you think, Gin I did the right thing?" Althaea stated in a serious manner.
Ginger nodded, "You did the right. You just saved someone's life and there was no malice there."
"Is it Athena mad at me?" Althaea asked over her assumptions while soundlessly looking up at the ceiling.
"Whether he get angry or not, you did the the good thing." As Ginger comforting her. Althaea hugged those first around her. Althaea was full of questions in her mind since she saved Greige from drowning. She could not tell herself whether what she had done was right or wrong. Althaea is no longer knew how else she would deal with her twin.
"Is Zen really out of space in your heart?" Ginger asked her. "It happened so fast in an instant you just lost your love for him."
"I don't know, Gin." A tearful statement by Althaea. "I'm confused." The girl hugged the pillows around her very tightly and then she shed tears again.
So Ginger couldn't help but hug her friend. "I know it's a difficult situation for you right now. You loved someone you didn't belong to and will not be yours forever." Her best friend's tears also flowed. "Why did you let yourself fall in love with that guy, uh?" Ginger is grimacing of what a foolish way that Althaea did.
"Honestly, it didn’t expect that I would like someone over him. From the start, I was annoyed about Greige's behavior. Eventually, I fell in love with him. It can't admit to myself because I don't want to believe. I know the consequences after that."
As Althaea trying to utter those words.
"Anyway, no matter what happens I will stay beside you to comfort you always. Nobody's perfect, we did some mistakes sometimes but it is not usually intentional." The young lady smiled and relieved by what the friend had said to her.
It's been 5:00pm in the after when they decided to leave the island. Zen and Althaea took some pictures of them that made Greige feel more jealous.
Harold could see the sadness that Greige felt so he stopped for a moment of carrying his things. 
"I hope it could be the one taking pictures with her." Greige said while thinking deeply.
"It's okay bro, let's just talk in my room first. I know how you feel now, just take it out. I'll just listen to you." They walked towards the room.
"It's a good thing Tita and Tito haven't asked why you want to stay here instead." Harold stated.
"I said, we just had something important to talk about." Greige replied in a brief statement and he continued to resume the story.
