Astreus Lynx Perveus’s POV

I had closed my eyes for a few minutes and was deep in thought until I thought of opening my eyes because I could hear the little snores of the person next to me.

I glance at him who’s now sleeping peacefully and his face is very gentle, his forehead is no longer wrinkled.

I slowly sat up and tried not to feel the pain down there but it’s really hurt that I sometimes groaning because of pain.

When I managed to stand up, I walk limpy towards the bathroom and when i got inside I walk towards the bathtub and get inside with my clothes still on.

I turned on the water and soaked in it even though I was still wearing my clothes, I didn’t feel like taking off my clothes anymore— i just want to soakk in the water.

After soaking for a few minutes, I stood up and took off my clothes before putting on a bathrobe at come out of the bathroom.

I saw that he was still sleeping so I slowly walked towards his walk in closet and I didn't search anymore and I took a thin black sleeve button shirt.

I put it on pero masyadong malaki at halos lagpas na sa legs ko, wala ring saktong short sa’kin kaya kumuha na lamang ako ng boxer at sinuot iyon.

Naglakad ako palabas pero ika-ika parin habang pababa sa hagdan, halatang wala parin dito ang mga kapatid ko dahil sa sobrang katahimikan.

The silence is so eerie.

Napukaw naman ng paningin ko ang isang kwarto, ito lang ang naiibang kulay na kwarto rito dahil color blue ito samantalang ang ibang pinto ay color brown at black.

Alam kong hindi dapat ako pumapasok sa kwartong hindi naman dapat pasukan pero nilalamon ako ng kuryosidad.

Saglit pa akong lumingon sa bawat gilid bago tuluyang pumasok sa loob, napakunot ang noo ko dahil walang ibang laman ang kwarto kundi isang salamin at may refrigerator sa gitna.

The refrigerator door was slightly ajar and it was strange that there was smoke coming out from inside because of the cold even though it wasn’t plugged in.

Naglakad ako palapit doon at bahagyang umupo para mapantayan ang ref at dahan dahan ko itong binuksan.

“Astreus.." Nanlaki ang mga mata ko at tila nabato ako sa kinalalagyan ko dahil may bigla nalang isang batang duguan ang lumabas sa loob.

I gulp several times and slowly retreated while shaking with fear as the boy crawled closer to me, until I had nowhere to go because i bump into the wall behind me.

“W-who are you?!" Lakas loob na tanong ko, huminto s’ya sa harapan ko at umupo at bigla nalang nag umpisang umiyak.

“Papatawarin mo nalang ba sila ng ganun nalang? Iniwan nila tayong mag isa! Pinabayaan nila tayo na naghihirap sa hospital” Ang kaninang takot na expression ko ay napalitan ng pagtataka at kusa na lamang gumalaw ang kamay ko upang iangat ang mukha n’ya at nagulat ako dahil.. ako ‘to.

“Iisa lang tayo, sigurado ka bang magiging maayos ang lahat kapag nagstay ka kasama s’ya? Iniwan n’ya tayo noon at s’ya rin ang dahilan kung bakit ilang taon tayong natulog sa hospital na wala manlang bumibisita, alam mo ba kung ano ang nararamdaman ko nang mga oras na yun? Galit na galit ako" I can’t believe what i’m seeing right now, the younger version of me are ranting right now with big eyes looking at me, it’s scary though because it’s nothing in there but pure hatred.

“Maniwala ka sa’kin, walang magandang maidudulot ang pagstay mo rito kundi puro masasakit na ala-ala kaya umalis kana rito! Iwan mo na ang nakaraan at kalimutan mo na s’ya” Wika n’ya habang hawak hawak ang mag kabilang pisngi ko at nanlalaki ang mga matang nakatitig sa mga mata ko.

Nakakatakot pero hindi ako makagalaw, mas lalo akong kinilabutan nang bigla s’yang humagikgik at bahagyang lumayo sa’kin.

“Takbo na Astreus, palayain mo ang sarili mo..” Pahina nang pahinang sabi n’ya habang bumabalik sa refrigerator at maya maya lang ay bigla akong tumayo mula sa kinahihigaan ko.

Is that a dream or illusion? Maybe hallucination?

Hinihingal akong nag palinga-linga sa paligid ngunit puro kagamitan ng bata ang nakita ko, mukhang kwarto ito ng isang bata.. baka kay Darius.

I suddenly remembered what my younger version said so I immediately ran out of the room and I didn’t even care about the pain I was feeling in my lower part because I just kept running downstairs.

Habang tumatakbo sa malaking bahay na ito ay nagtatalo ang puso’t isip ko dahil mag kaiba sila ng gusto, ang gusto ng puso ko ay manatili sa tabi n’ya samantalang ang utak ko ay gusto akong lumayo.

And only then did I realize that the thing I saw earlier was possibly formed by the anger of my past that has long been buried in oblivion.

Pero hindi ako tumigil sa pag takbo, ang hirap kalabanin ng utak dahil parang kinokontrol narin nito ang emosyon ko at ang isip ko ay walang ibang iniisip kundi ang tumakas.

Nang makatakbo ako sa front door ay nanlaki ang mga mata ko dahil naka-kadena ito at may tatlong padlock na kinakunot ng noo ko.

“I know you’d do this, I already knew what you were planning to do because people is so easy to read if they are having second thoughts” I look behind me and there I saw Darius, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed and coldly looking at me.

He actually lock me up in here, sh*t.

“I was quite impressed because I thought you wouldn’t really be able to walk after I finished being rough with you, but it’s impressive because you still managed to run like that.. it looks like I’ve become too soft on you” I was taken aback when he started walking towards me with his hands in his pockets.

Hindi ako makapagsalita at tinitigan lang s’ya hanggang makalapit s’ya sa’kin at hinaplos ang pisngi ko.

“My clothes suit you so much, you’re not planning to go outside wearing this right? You’re so f*cking hot right now that you can lure everyone" He whisper into my ear before he grab my waist and my eyes widened when he lift me up.

“I’ve been so gentle to you that you think that i’m kind enough to let you off the hook today” He said sternly and coldly while staring at me with his eyes full of l*st and desire.

“This time I will make sure that you will never be able to walk again” He said as he effortlessly walked back to the room without seemingly mind how heavy I am.

This is bad, in this case even if I beg many times he probably wouldn’t stop.

I’m screwed.
