So here is the second chapter in Robin's POV. I'm sorry it took several days before I updated this. I'm just so busy from school. Again, feel free to review, positive or negative will be appreciated. :) Enjoy!

Robin's POV

I was standing by the shore, staring blankly in the sea, deep in my thoughts when I felt someone stood beside me.

"Hey mate, here." It was one of my mates and assistant director Will. He handed me a cold bottle of local beer. I asked for our other friend, John, Will said he's already asleep and most probably snoring so loud because of the stressful day we had. Together we listened to the calming waves of the sea and to the breeze of air coming from the trees from the forest nearby.

After a while of silence my mate asked, "Thinking of her?" And I respond, "Always." He finished his beer and bid me goodbye. I stayed on the shore for a while, I can't bring myself to sleep. Almost every night she's plaguing my dreams, it's like a beautiful nightmare. One more bottle of beer and I find myself feeling tired, in all aspect so I decided to go back to our room to rest.

In the morning our friend John, being the first one to sleep also the first one to wake up. He woke us up at around eight AM to get ready for another stressful yet adventurous day ahead for us. We're so blessed to be given this opportunity. Aside from directing, the three of us loves the environment, we enjoy the outdoors, from the sea to the mountains. We all get the best of both worlds in this island, the island of Palawan in the Philippines. This particular part of the island can only be reached by private plane or long hours of boat ride. We were hired by a television channel to film the natural activities in this island.

We've only been here for two months but I already fell in love with the island. There are civilized parts of the island and there are very quiet parts, almost like a sanctuary. If you want a night life you just have to hop from one island to the another, if you want a serene place, you do the same and I chose the latter, anyway we were not sent here to do some leisure, but seeing the wonders of this island is already a leisure for us. We were blessed enough to be able to trek and hike the mountains and forest and dive in the clear water of the sea surrounding this island. Thank God for those activities for keeping my mind off of her and whatsoever drama I left in the states, at least during day time.

We quickly ate our breakfast and got ready for the day. Being a secluded part of the island, I just left my cellphone in the room since it really has no use in terms of communication because there is no signal in that part of the island.

"Have you checked the weather report?" John asked Will. "Yes I already did. We are lucky, no typhoon ahead, the sky will be clear today according to the report." Will stated.

We packed our camping and directing equipment and head to forest. That day, our task was to capture the activities of endangered species in that forest. We walked through the forest with some locals that guided us so that we will not be lost because the forest is still rich and full of life. When we reached the heart of the forest, we set up our camp because we planned to stay in there over the night.

Four tents were placed in a large clearing, one for me, one for John, one for Will and one for the two locals who guided us in the forest. When were settled, we started with our work. The locals guided us deep in the forest while there was still light illuminating from the old and tall trees surrounding it. We were truly blessed that day because we were able to shoot a lot of endangered animals such as Palawan bearcat, Palawan leopard cat, and Palawan flying squirrel. It was six in the evening when we finished shooting and called it a day. Since it was illegal to hunt in that forest, we brought meat and other ingredients that we can cook easily. We gathered woods while walking back to the camp. The five of us had a simple yet delicious meal prepared by our guides, they said it was called adobo. Since we were here for two months already, it was not our first time have it, but it has a twist, they put coconut milk in it making it more savory. After dinner, the four of then decided to retire early since there was nothing to do anymore.

As usual, I cannot put myself to sleep immediately so I decided to wander in the forest. I grabbed my compass and flashlight and started walking until I reached another clearing. I was mesmerized by the beauty of the clearing, the moon was the only source of light in the area. I can't help but imagine bringing my Regina in this beautiful island. Even though I was the one who gave her time and space, I still hope and believe that in the end, she'll still be mine. Honestly, my feelings are still conflicted. I love her, but the pain is still there and I don't know if I can forget what happened anytime soon. Yes, I already forgave her, I love her, I miss her, hell, I even left my heart with her even though I was mad and angry at her, at him, at them. I just hope that when I get back in America, she already have the answers to the questions in her mind, because I may have a conflicted feelings at the moment, but my mind is still thinking of her and my heart is still beating for her even though it was stabbed really deep.

...

In the middle of the night John woke up to pee. After peeing, he noticed that Robin's tent was slightly open and when he peaked through the slight opening he was alarmed because Robin was not there. He woke up Will and the guides and said that Robin is missing. Will woke from his peaceful slumber and immediately grabbed his compass and flashlight. The four off them started walking together while shouting Robin's name. Ater twenty minutes of walking and shouting, the group decided to split into two pair. John and Will decided to split so that the two guides will also split and both of them will have a guide. They went to opposite direction but before parting they decided that if they didn't find Robin after one to two hours they will go back to the camp and will leave the forest and start asking for rescue team. After thirty minutes of finding Robin, luck is still not in their cards and unfortunately for them, it started to rain, not heavy but enough to make the land to be soft and slippery.

Two hours had passed and still no Robin in sight. The pairs decided to go back to the camp.

"Will have seen any trace of Robin in your area?" John asked.

"Mate, I wish I had, but no. No sign of Robin, any footstep was easily cleared by the rain." Will said, his voice was cracking.

"I guess we have to back to the room, maybe he's there." John said.

And so even though it was raining, they packed their bags started walking back to their room. In the middle of their walk, John stumbled upon something. It was Robin's scarf. He was so sure that it was Robin's because there is an RL embroidery in the end. They hurry back to their room to check if Robin's there. Unfortunately, Robin wasn't there. Since is just two in the morning, they can't call and ask for rescue team, so they decided to rest and start looking in the morning when there's sunlight. When the morning came, John went to the city and asked for a rescue unit while Will and some other locals decided to help finding Robin.

John, together with the rescue unit arrived before noon and immediately assembled the search party, instructing the people and where and how to find Robin. By lunch time, the search party started.

Since Robin and his team was hired by a famous tv network, and even them were pretty famous as well due to the international awards to got from directing highly praised independent films, the local tv networks were starting to arrive in the island to cover the news.

Five PM, seventeen hours after Robin went missing, the rescue team may be there but in the police, Robin is still not missing. They can only declare a person missing after 24 hours, thus they can only give few task force to the search party. By night time, Robin is still no where to be found. They decided to rest, but Will and John cannot sleep knowing their friend might be in danger. By morning, the police force already declared Robin as missing person, and before the day ended, international television network started arriving in the peaceful island to cover the news.

The two men are contemplating if they should let Regina know. Both of them know what happened between to the couple, after so much contemplating they decided to call and inform her. Wishing that she'll answer her phone, and signal in the island will stay longer and stronger.

So what do you guys think happened to Robin?

Let me know what's on your mind. I might update after 2-3 weeks.
