The Only Exception

Song 7: Part Of Me

It’s been 3 weeks. 3 FREAKING WHOLE WEEKS.

I always up and went to check up on her. Araw-araw akong nagpupunta sa bahay niya, nagbabakasakaling makita ko siya. Pero wala. She never showed up. I also went to Pandora’s Square and at the park where I saw her before. But no such luck. I had her invstigated, only to find out that she has run away from home and has been missing for 3 weeks now. I had also sent out my underlings to search for her, even sending out a sarch party for her. But all came empty.

Yeah, I’m desperate. Hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko. It’s the first time this has happened to me. I’ve never been in love. Ngayon lang. I fell deeply in love with her the very first time. Bakit ganun?  I don’t even know her that well. I never even got close to her. But when she left and went missing, I also felt an emptiness in me. It’s as if she took a piece of my heart along with her.

But I would do anything and everything just to find her and be with her. I have to find the missing part of me. I need to.

I searched high and low for her. I almost went and asked Nikki for help. Kung may makakatulong man sa akin sa paghanap kay Denise, si Nikki yun. But I also didn’t want Nikki to know. She has never liked my player ways before and I’m pretty sure that she’ll think this is just another game of mine. She’ll just think I plan on making Denise one of my flings. But no. I’m serious about her. Hindi pa nga ako nakakapagpakilala sa kanya tinigil ko na ang pagka-playboy ko.

I wanted to change for her, and so I did. I wanted to be faithful to her. Be hers and hers only. Nalaman ko kung ano ang mga nangyari sa kanya and how she got her heart broken so hard. I never wanna do the same mistakes her dad and her ex has done. I don’t wanna hurt her in the future, and I never will.

I wanna be her friend. Her saviour. Her knight. Her lover. I wanted to be her everything. I wanted to love her and  I wanted her to love me. But I don’t think that would even be possible at this state. I need to find her and help her through all of this shit. I need to help her move on and teach her how to love again. I just hope she lets me love her.

(Denise’s POV)

“I’ve already taught you all that you needed to know. I want you to test those skills out Denise. Sa gangster world, hindi lahat kagaya namin. Hindi lahat mabubuti. And that’s why andito kami at ang circle ng mga royal knights, para labanan at pigilan sila. Now, we will send you to missions regarding these rogue gangs. I want you guys to fight them off and hand them to the authorities.” Sabi ni Nikki sa amin.

“So, I guess this is goodbye then.” I said, looking down.

“No. This isn’t goodbye. We’ll join you guys soon. Susunod din kami sa lahat ng pupuntahan niyo, to assist you on your missions. But you have to go first, hindi tayo pwedeng sabay na pumunta dahil makakahalata ang dad mo at yung bwisit na ex mo.” Sabi ni Nikki.
