Heara's POV
"Touch her once more and, I'll be your fucking death!" His voice.. Just hearing his voice, I knew who he was.
He embraced me so tightly making me feel I'm so much safe now.
My tears is still flowing off my face leaving stains on his shirt.
"Taehyung.." I whispered his name at mas humigpit lalo yung yakap niya sa kin.
"Shh.." He said. "Breathe now, it's all right." He whispered.
His voice soothes and calmed me. The shakiness and fear I am feeling inside of me slowly fades away.
I never expected him to save me in this state. I'm so grateful to him right now. Before everything falls apart, he showed up and helped me to stop it.
But the pounding in my chest continued rapidly.
And one moment after, he pulled me away from my nightmare, away from everybody showing me what hell is.
When I felt na medyo malayo na kami, I regained some strength and opened my eyes slowly. He was walking in front of me holding my hand.
We were just walking at hindi ko alam kung saan kami pupunta.
I just let him pull me anywhere, dahil wala na akong lakas para umayaw pa. I'm too tired right now and all I want to do right now is to sleep.
Dinala niya ako sa garden. The place was too quiet, kabaliktaran nung kanina. I like it here much better. I breathe in so deep kasi I feel like I was suffocated all this time.
We sat at the bench for a while. I was waiting for him to let go of my hand but he didn't. Kung ako to at okay ako, kanina ko pa tinanggal yung kamay niya kasi I know it would be too awkward.
But right now, all I feel is comfort and assurance na okay ang lahat.
"I'm sorry, I'm a bit late.." Yan ang una siyang sinabi.
"Thank you. Hindi ko ineexpect na ililigtas mo ko dun.. You don't know how grateful I am to you.." I tried to speak, kahit garalgal yung boses ko sa pag iyak.
He squeezed my hand once more. "Okay na.. please stop trembling." Sabi niya, as he hold my hand gently. He holds it carefully afraid that this fragile me would break.
Hindi ko napansin na nanginginig pa rin ang buong katawan ko.
I tried stopping my body from shaking pero mahirap. We stayed there for so long, at gaya nang dati, wala sa amin ang nagsasalita.
Pero habang tumatagal, hindi naging awkward kahit ang tahimik namin. Ganito rin nung nasa library kami, we we're not awkward anymore nung tumagal, the opposite of what I had thought.
When I felt I am all okay, I broke the silence between us. "Sobrang thank you.." I started and faced him, giving him a gentle smile. "Uhmm, pwede ka nang mauna. Medyo pagabi narin eh."
I was a bit disappointed nung bigla na siyang tumayo. He walked some steps paalis. Pero lumingon ulit siya sa akin. "Come, you said yourself pagabi na. Let's go, I'm not leaving you here."
Napangiti ako sa akto niya. Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit.
But being with this stranger makes me feel safe and comfortable.
We were at the front of the school building. Kakaunti na rin ang mga estudyante. It's also time for me to leave. Dahil dun sa nangyari, di tuloy ako nakapasok sa cafe. Itetext ko nalang yung co-worker ko.
"Una na ako ha? I really owe you big time." I said with a very thankful smile.
He just stared at me. Napakamot nalang ako nang ulo ko. "Sige Bye, thank you ulit." Sabi ko at naglakad na papalayo.
