Milliseconds Of Doom

03

I looked at him and gave him a confused look. I just wanted to watch the sunset, what is he doing here!

"Hindi 'yan boring 'no! Halika ka dito."

Nanlaki ang mata ko when he pulled my hand and he put the santan on my palm.

My hand is itching to punch someone hard becuase of what he did. Oh Lord, I want to see something beautiful, what did you just shown!

"Ang santan, puwedeng maging kwintas, singsing, purselas at puwede ring sipsipin." He said

I blinked, "W-what?"

"Ganito,"

He smiled at nagsimula na siyang paghiwa-hiwalayin ang mga maliliit na bulaklak, he did something for it to be connected with each other. When he finished, he reached my hand and he encircled it on my wrist.

I was amazed, this looks so beautiful...

"Ayan! Sabi sa'yo e! Santan lang ang kayang maging ganiyan, kaya ng sampaguita pero magsusuot ka ba ng sampaguita sa kamay?" I shook my head, "Hindi 'di ba, kaya ayan, santan lang malakas."

I laughed lightly, it would be so awkward if someone saw you wearing a sampaguita in your wrist or worst, in your neck. That would be so embarassing.

"What are those words,"

I said between my laughter, I just glanced at my wrist and simply looked at the tiny flowers that touches my skin.

"Oh, tingin mo 'to! Mas maganda ka kapag nakangiti."

My smile immediately fades because of what he said.

I don't know but I hate it when someone calls me beautiful, I mean, I know I am. But I was just scared of my thoughts, that someone will just love me because I'm beautiful and rich.

Just like what Grayson did.

I looked away just just focused my eyes to the beautiful orange pastel color in the sky, the sun was not visible anymore but there's still a light that made the sky looks orange.

My thoughts are killing me, just like how darkness kills the beauty of sunset.

I have halted when I felt my phone vibrated, I opened it and immediately answer the call. I stood up and walked away from Carter, I gestured him that I'll go and he just gave me a thumbs up.

"Zaniah, can you come over here? Hiero collapsed earlier." Dad said, he's worried, I can sense it from his voice.

I hope hiero's doing good, I wish nothing worst happened to him.

"Yes, okay Dad. I'll go now." I said and turned off my phone.

I went to my office and I fixed my things, dali-dali akong lumabas. I entered my car and I started the engine.

I went outside and I turn on the wiper, the sky looks so beautiful earlier. And then now, it's raining?

My lips parted when my car stopped, I tried to start the engine but it's not working! Oh lord! What the hell is happening right now?!

"Argh! Bakit ngayon pa?!" I shouted as I punched the steering wheel, I need to check Hiero as soon as I can!

Why is it broken?! Okay naman siya nang gamitin ko kanina!

"What th—-"

My lips parted when someone bumped into my car, I went outside and I saw a blue motorcycle beside my car. He bumped into my side mirror and I stamp my feet because of the things that is happening right now. Malas na araw, malas na buhay. Everything was just so unlucky!
