Zen's POV
"I have to tell you something" sabi ko at hinigit siya papunta sa garden saka ako pumitas ng isang daisy
"What is it?" tanong nya
Bumuntong hininga ako habang pinaikot ikot yung daisy sa kamay ko "Mom and I are leaving" sabi ko at nakita ko naman na natigilan siya
"K-Kailan? Saan kayo pupunta?" tanong nya
"Titira muna kami sa mortal world. You see, I'm suffering from a trauma, or known here as Illusion of Unholy Arcane. Kailangan muna naming lumayo dito dahil mahihirapan lang din ako kung mag iistay pa ako dito" kwento ko
"Why didn't you tell us sooner?" tanong nya muli
"Kahapon ko lang din naman nalaman, kaninang hating gabi actually" sabi ko
Nanatili lang naman syang nakikinig saakin.
"Biglaan din kaya agad kong ginawa yung surprise kanina. Kaso, hindi ko nakayanan na mag paalam sa iba, lalo na kay Ara. Because knowing her, iiyak at iiyak yun, at yun ang ayaw kong makita" malungkot kong sabi
"Ilang linggo kayo mawawala?"
Tumingin ako mismo sa mga mata niya "Not weeks nor months Ethan, maybe a year or two" sabi ko
Nagulat ako ng biglang may luhang tumulo sa mga mata niya kaya agad ko iyong pinunasan.
"H-Hindi ba talaga pwede na mag stay ka dito? I'll gather the most powerful healers there is" sabi niya
"You don't have to do that---"
"But I want you to stay!" natigilan ako sandali sa sinabi niya pero agad din akong napangiti
I gently touched the petals of the daisy and it turned into a blue color.
"Do you recognize this flower, Ethan?" tanong ko
Nakakunot ang noo nga nung una pero mukhang naalala na niya kaya gulat syang napalingon saakin
"I gave Emman this kind of flower before but I didn't thought na ibibigay nya pala sayo. Kanina habang nasa banyo ka, napansin ko yung bulaklak na yun na nakalagay sa vase mo. You kept the flower I made" kwento ko habang siya ay nakikinig lang
"Last month, when we went to Azure, that was one of the happiest moment in my life and I'll be forever grateful to you because you made me feel so special that day, kahit na tinopak ka sa huli" sabi ko at natawa ng kaunti
"It's because---"
"Because you thought I like Kade?" tanong ko at tumango naman siya "Silly, I only like him as a friend. What makes you think that I like him more than that?"
"Because you're sweet to him. It's like he's the apple of your eye" masungit na sabi niya kaya napabungisngis ako "Tsk laugh all you want"
"Are you jeaous?" mapang asar na sabi ko
"W-What? Of course not!" agad na tanggi niya
"But you said, I drive you crazy?" sabi ko at nanlaki naman mata niya
"W-When did I said those words huh!? Y-You're hallucinating" sabi niya at umiwas ng tingin
Pinisil ko naman ng mahina ang pisngi niya "So the night when we slept besides each other in Water Kingdom, I heard you said that I drive you crazy, am I hallucinating that time or was it just a dream?"
Nakita kong namula mukha niya kaya mas lalo akong napangiti. Ganito ba apekto ko sa isang Ethan? Medyo malakas lakas pala hahaha
"Y-You're awake t-that time?" nauutal na tanong niya at tumango naman ako kaya mas lalo siyang namula
"At saka, baka inaakala mo na nalimutan ko na hinalikan mo ako sa Vie de Islium" sabi ko at napalunok naman siya
I remembered how I woke up from a nightmare and his face is the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes. Tapos narealize ko nalang noon na magkalapat na pala labi namin. I wonder if he already likes me that time?
"W-Well.. sorry about that.." nahihiya nyang sabi
"Ethan" tawag ko sakaniya at hinawakan parehas nyang kamay "Do you seriously like me?" I asked him while staring to his beautiful eyes
"No, I don't just like you Zenadia. I think I already love you" sabi niya kaya napangiti ako lalo
"Tatanongin ulit kita pagbalik ko at kapag yan ulit sinagot mo, wala ka ng kawala saakin. But if not, let's be friends?" tanong ko
"I promise, my feelings won't---"
"Please don't, Ethan. Don't make promises" mapait kong sabi sakaniya "Maraming mag babago habang wala ako, marami ka ding makikilala na babae na higit pa saakin kaya may tyansa na mag bago feelings mo saakin."
Ayaw ko ng pangako dahil alam kong pwedeng masira iyon.
"You're a prince, Ethan, a crown prince to be exact. You'll meet a lot of princesses with their expensive gowns and shining tiaras and maybe, one of them might change everything between us"
Masakit man ay sinabi ko na din dahil iyon ang totoo, agad kong pinunasan yung luha na kanina ko pa pinipigilan. I don't want to let myself dive in fantasies, alam kong sa loob ng mahabang panahon ay may mag babago at mag babago saaming dalawa.
"I love you Zen, I really do. B-But fine.. I won't promise anything but I'll do everything not to fall to another woman. Because no matter what happens, you always be my first and hopefully, will be my last"
Hindi na ako na sayang pa ng kahit isang sigundo at hinila ang damit niya papalapit saakin. When his lips met mine, I know I also have feelings for him. When I closed my eyes, I felt his arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me closer to him.
We're kissing passionately as the moon and the stars are watching us from above. They witnessed how two love birds share their feelings for each other.
Only sky can witnessed everything.
Nauna na akong humiwalay dahil mukhang walang balak ang isang ito na lumabayan ang labi ko. I chuckled a little when I saw him chased my lips.
"Pabitin" he murmured before he pouted
Nakayakap pa din ang parehas kong braso sa leeg niya habang siya naman ay sa bewang ko. Dahan dahan kong inayos yung buhok niya na medyo nakatakip sa mga mata nya.
"Wait for me okay?" mahina kong sabi sakaniya
"I will, always" malambing na sagot niya
Niyakap ko siya at agad nya din naman akong niyakap pabalik. Oh god, I'll miss this idiot
"No goodbyes, I'll see you soon" sabi ko at hihiwalay na sana pero mas hinigpitan nya pa yakap nya saakin.
Pinigilan ko luha ko na tumulo dahil kung ako lang ang masusunod, ayaw kong umalis sa mga yakap niya, ayaw na ayaw kong iwanan sya.
"Ethan.." tawag ko sakaniya
Pinatong nya noo nya sa balikat ko habang yakap yakap pa din ako.
"I don't want you to go.." mahina nyang sabi
"Believe me, I don't want to leave either. I'm not stupid to want to leave the man I have feelings for"
Ilang minuto pa siyang nakayakap saakin bago nya ako binitawan. Nagulat ako ng nakita ko siyang naiyak.
"Babalikan mo naman ako diba?" tanong niya na para bang isang bata na iiwan lang sandali ng kalaro niya
Ngumiti ako sakaniya ng matamis at pinunasan ang luha nya sa pisngi
"Ang kulit mo talaga. Sinabi ngang babalik ako. Hindi ko naman hahayaan na mawala ka nalang ng ganun saakin" sabi ko
Nanatili siyang tahimik ng ilang sandali at parang may iniisip.
"I'll suffer for years without you by my side" sabi niya at hinawakan yung kamay ko "Then can I have you just for tonight?" nagulat ako sa sinabi niya
D-Does he mean 'that'?
Ethan's POV
"I'll suffer for years without you by my side" sabi ko at hinawakan yung kamay niya "Then can I have you just for tonight?" I asked
I saw shocked written all over her face. Ilang sandali pa pero hindi pa din siya nasagot kaya kinabahan na ako.
Oh fuck, did I offended her? Wrong move.
"I-I'm sorry. You don't have to say yes---hmm" agad akong gumanti ng halik ng bigla niya akong hinalikan.
In just a snap, naandito na kami sa kwarto ko. I locked the door without breaking the kiss. Naisandal ko siya sa pader at bumaba ang halik ko papunta ba leeg niya. My body got even hotter when I heard her soft moans. Pabato kong inalis lahat ng nakalagay sa study table ko habang hindi pa din inaalis labi ko sa leeg niya.
Inupo ko siya doon at muli siyang hinalikan sa labi. Habang nakayakap ang braso niya sa leeg ko ay sinimulan ko ng alisin ang suot niyang damit pang itaas. I didn't ripped it off para may masuot siya pag uwi. Baka pagalitan pa ako ni tita.
"Hmm.." nagulat ako ng bigla niyang kinagat ng kaunti yung labi ko
"What a naughty girl.." mahina kong sabi bago siya muling hinalikan
Niyakap ko ang binti niya sa bewang ko bago ko siya buhatin papunta sa kama pero naka ilang tama pa ako sa pader dahil sa bawat halik na binibigay niya saakin. Maingat ko siyang hiniga sa kama saka ako umibabaw sakaniya habang hindi pa din na hihiwalay labi namin.
I kissed her down to her neck to her collar bone. I heard her moaning and I know that she's enjoying this as much as I do. Lumayo muna ako at umupo sandali para tanggalin ang suot kong damit pang itaas. I saw her eyes shimmering when she saw my body.
"It's all yours babe.." I said seductively before kissing her lips
Her touches makes me to want more than this. I played with her boobs when I kissed her neck.
"E-Ethan.. ohh.." then I saw her bit her lip
Her moans are like music to my ears. Hindi ako magsasawang makinig ang mga iyon gabi gabi. I was about to unzipper her short but I stopped. Bumuntong hining ako bago tumingin sakaniya. She looks so confused so I smiled at her.
"As much as I want to do this now, I know I mustn't" sabi ko at humiga sa tabi niya at humarap naman siya saakin
"Why?"
Mabilis ko siyang hinalikan sa labi bago sumagot "I want to fully taste you after our wedding"
Zen's POV
"I want to fully taste you after our wedding"
"I want to fully taste you after our wedding"
"I want to fully taste you after our wedding"
"I want to fully taste you after our wedding"
I can't help it but to smile when his words were echoing inside my head.
"What's with the smile, sweetie?" napaharap ako kay mama na nasa gilid ko
"Nothing ma, I just remembered something"
Kasalukuyan na kaming nabyahe sakay ng bus papunta sa bago naming titirhan. 1 na ako nakauwi dahil ayaw akong pakawalan ni Ethan. Wala siyang ginawa kundi angkinin ang labi ko.
I still can't believe that he stopped and resisted the temptation. I'm not disappointed nor pissed of course, I'm just shocked. Hindi ko alam kung paano siya nakapag pigil ng ganun.
He even said 'our wedding'. So he has a plan for us to get married in the future huh? How cute
"Mabuti naman. Akala ko ay iiyak ka ngayon eh dahil maiiwan mo mga kaibigan mo" aniya
"Babalikan ko din sila agad ma" sabi ko
"Malayo layo pa tayo ng kaunti. Mtulog ka na muna"
Tumango nalang ako at sinandal sarili ko sa bintana. Hindi ko pwedeng alisin ang contact lens ko dahil mahihirapan ako mamayang isuot ito. Dahil madami na din ang nag papakulay ng buhok ay normal nalang ding tingnan angbdark purple kong buhok. Pumikit ako hanggang sa makatulog.
That moment with him, was a night to remember..
