"Flowers are beautiful... But not perfect. So if you want it without flaw, you gotta make it yourself." He said as he sprinkle pixies on the ground, the place where he planted the seed he picked awhile ago.
Ngumiwi ako nang lingunin nya ako sa kinatayuan ko.
I don't even know how I ended up being in his presence right now, nor is why do he loves to demonstrate about stuffs such as what he's doing now.
"Do you understand what I'm talking about, Seacrest?" And he's been calling me 'seacrest' as if that's my name.
Umiling ako. Literal na hindi ko alm kung anong nangyayari, tapos heto sya, kakausapin ko na tila ba dapat ay alam ko ng mg bagay na ito? Huh, what the hell? "Hindi ko si Seacrest, kung sino man sya. My name is Love, Mr, I am Love Silverlife." Muling pagppakilla ko. Tila namn hindi nya ko pinapakinggan eh.
Seacrest isn't even my color! Ain't it obvious by my hair and clothings are?! Huh, what on agewertia?
"Alam ko, pero ikaw kasi yung nagbumas ng sulat ko eh!" Saad nya at tinaasan ako ng kilay. "Dapat para kay Seacrest yun, but since you're the one who opened the letter, I'mma call you Seacrest from now on."
"Oh, so you're the one who left that envelope in my room?" He nodded. "Freaky, I thought it was a girl who wrote it, judging by the handwriting." I commented, and It's true. The handwriting is just too neat that I assumed it was a girls handwriting. Bold of me to think that way when I have a disgraceful handwriting myself. I chuckled.
"Wow ha, porke lalake, hindi na pwedeng gandahan ang sulat? Anyhow... Where's that letter?" He asked with a knotted eyebrow.
I put on a straight face as I stared at him. "I thought you knew. Tsk, how the hell did you know I was the one who opened it, and yet, don't have any idea what happened?" I asked.
"Kasi ikaw lang naman ang pumasok sa silid ko matapos ang isang taong wlang umukupa rito..." Saad nya sa isng siguradong tono. "Inaasahan kong si Seacrest na ng susunod na uukupa ng aking silid, ngunit maraming bagay ang naganap at hindi sya natuloy."
"Kung gayon ay iniisip mo lang na nabasa ko ang sulat mo??"
"Tama nanan ang hinala ko, hindi ba?" Saad nya at tumango ako. Itinaas ko ang kamay, sakto lang sa maaabot ng kanyang mga mata. "Bakit hawak mo yan?"
"Hindi ko naman inaasahng makikilala rin kita agad. Kakatwang hindi pa kumpleto ang mahikang aking binitiwan." Bulong ko nang direktang nakatingin sakanyang mga mata. "Ano nga ulit ang iyong ngalan?"
"Jellal..."
"Flowers are beautiful... But not perfect. So if you want it without flaw, you gotta make it yourself." I repeat what he said as he enchant and grew a flower a while ago. I move pass him and picked the flowers he grew and handed it to him. "Do you want to know what falling in love feels like, hmm, Jellal?"
"What are you talking about...?"
"Alam kong nais mong mabasa ni Seacrest ang sulat mo. Isang sulat na nagpapahiwatig ng iyong nararamdaman para sa dalagang iyong iniibig." Napangisi ako ng makita ang bahagyang pamumula ng kanyang mukha. "Ngunit mayroong mga bagay na sadyang hindi natin kontrolado, kahit anong gawin at pagpaplanong isagawa natin. Hinding hindi aayon sayo ang tadhana, dahil lang pinlano mo na ang kahihinatnan ng mga pangyayari." Mahabang salaysay ko sa seryosong tono.
"Jellal Crimson, funny how your surname represent my color," I said and chuckle. "I am Love Silverlife, the alchemist of love itself... You would probably not remember a thing about this encounter, but I want to ask you.."
"The alchemist of love itself..."
"Nais mo bang malaman ang kahulugan ng tunay na pag-ibig... O ang maging tagapangalaga ng pag-ibig?" Makahulugang tanong ko. Hindi ko nais nakawin sakanya ng karapatang umibig, ngunit kailangan ko na rin ng papalit saakin. "Jellal Crimson..."
"Find love or be Love..." He said that and I waited for almost five minutes before he answered with clear intensity of honesty and determination. "I-- I want to know how loving and being loved back feels like..." I kinda expected that answer, though.
"Then, see you once more, Jellal." I said as both the envelope in my hand, and the rose in his hand slowly disappear, turning to dust. Tinangay ito ng hangin, patungong kung saan. "You'll find each other, though not in this school, nor in this world that is." I whispered once more before flicking my finger, and just then, I am in my room.
Dressed in a scarlet colored fabric, with a scarlet colored hair, I let my body fall in the bed provided for me. Pretty sure this ain't the day for me to rest, but I'll need that, before everything in this story be messed up.
"LIGHT! LIGHT!" I forced my eyes to open up, as a group of boys hover over my bed, shouting the nickname I told them to call me.
Mulat ang mga mata ko, ngunit blanko itong nakatingin sakanila. Almost an entire minute passed before I realized what is happening, and literally jumped out my bed, not even considering screaming as a way of driving them away.
"What in hell?!" I half shouted. "Anong ginagawa nyo dito?!" I exclaimed, the three exchange looks, seemingly innocent to what they have done.
"Sorry, naistorbo ka ba namin?" One of them asked. I don't remember asking their names, eh, so I have bo idea who the hell is this.
"Gusto ka lang naman sana naming inbitahan para mamasyal sa city."
"Hmm..."
Napairap nalang ako nang mapagtantong wala nga silang kaalam alam sa mga dapat at hindi nila dapat ginagawa. But heck with that?! Ain't it an etiquette to stay OUT of a woman's room?!
"Magsilabas ng kayo sa silid ko!" Iritabg hiyaw ko kasabay paglabas ng isang maliit na kutsilyo mula kung saan at itinutok ko ito sakanila. "ISA!!"
"Ehe-- eto na!" Saad nang isa at naun na.
"Sasama ka ba...?" Tanong ng isa pa habang nagmamadaling pumunta sa pintuan.
"DALAWA!!"
"SAMA KA HA?!" saad ng panghuli kasbay ng isang malakas na kalabog, indikasyon na naisara na nila ng pintuan ng aking silid.
Pabagak akong sumalampak sa sahig kasabay ng isang malalim na buntong hininga.
Ilang sandali pa akong nanatili s ganoong posisyon bago magsimulang maligo at magbihis. This is my first day as an official student of Xinisther University, anyway. I guess I must enjoy my days before the official class began. It would be a stressful year, anyhow.
After freshening up, I wore something that is a lot, to begin with. It might not be as fancy as last night, but still too much for a normal day of strolling. I wore a pretty long dress, a gown, in that matter. Not the gown with petticoats to make the skirt wide and more balloon like, but a fairy-like gown, with corsets. The fabrics flows from my hips to my ankles. It covers my chest with an armor like cape-sleeves, which sleeves run down to the ground. A little extra, to be honest. But who cares anyway? It's me that's wearing it, not them.
I let my hair loose, comb it a little, and braided it in one. I put on some pearl-like beads as designs in thy hair, pulled in some hair to frame my face, and put on a little head piece, just so I could carry the look as perfect as I could. I put on a little make up, pink lipstick, and a white eyelashes. The dress is white, turning red as it ascended to the ground.
Tumingin ako sa Lifesize mirror in my closet. I look like a queen about to declare war against a certain kingdom. How funny.
After two hours of preparation, lumabas na ako sa aking silid. Malapad ng ngiting humarap sa mga makakasama ko sa dormitory. "Hi," pagbati ko. "Sensya na kanina, mali lng tlaga ang pagkakagising nyo sakin." Saad ko at nagbaba ng tingin.
Ano ba naman kasing kabobohan ang ginawa ko kanina? Eh sino ba naman kasing tanga ang papasok sa silid ng nag-iisang babaeng makakasama nila sa dorm? Ehh! Hindi ko alam kung anong iisipin ko.
"Light...?" Someone called, I raised my head to meet thy eyes. "What are you wearing...?" He asked. Tinaasan ko sya ng kilay bago nagbaba ng tingin s suot ko.
"Bakit? Disente naman ah?" I innocently asked back. I mean, what's wrong with it?
"Aside from the fact that you ain't wearing any footwear, you're dressed as if you're to attend a royal ball..." Another one spoke.
"Uhm... Ain't that the theme..?" I asked them back. "Ayaw nyo ba akong sabayan?" Saad ko kasabay ng isang nakakalokong ngisi na gumuhit saaking labi.
I flicked my fingers, and in an instant, their clothes were changed in a formal attire, one in blue, black, and the other is grey. They look like those fantasy prince and knights in horse, ready to save a lady in distress. It is as if we are to attend a royal ball, indeed.
"I'm am Lady Karytah Amare Silverlife, daughter of Duke Dilectio Azulan and Duchess Heartfylia Amor Silverlife of Fantacia." I politely said as I bow my head a little, and chuckle underneath my words.
"You what now?!" One of them exclaimed, seemingly surprised of what they just heard. I raised my head, and with a serious smile, I spoke. "You're looking exalted, my prince." I said as I smile in his direction. I, then, averted my eyes to meet the others. "Why don't you introduce yourself first, gentlemen?" I sweetly smiled.
The three of them took a breath, before giving me a gentle smile, and indeed introduced themselves. One by one, by an order I didn't expect.
"I am Marques Sean Klien Auram of Aguariah, the kingdom of water."
"I am Zadkiel Lyon Arcadia, first born of Count Cobalt Actinium and Countess Heartily Meisha Arcadia of Rifia, the kingdom of fire."
"I am Jhust Camael Laurence, first born of General Herixiul and Lieutenant Hurricane under the hierarchy of Duke Xellizan from the kingdom of Ajwer."
I was left with ny mouth hanging wide open. "Ow dear..." Was all the word that came out of my mouth before actually reacting to thy introduction. "Are you kidding me?" I asked with wide eyes. "Please tell me you just riding through my jokes..?"
"Ow wait, you're not a daughter of a count?!" The one with an attire with the color blue, spoke, as the other two raised their heads, confused.
"Ow dear..." Was my only reaction. "It was meant to be a joke..." I whispered. "Huh, to think that I almost gave you the right color that may represent the kingdom you belong to..." Mahinang saad ko. Puno ng katanungan ang mga matang nakatingin sila saakin. Bumuntong hininga ako. "I am Love Silverlife, and that's it. No title before that name." I stated, halfway exclaiming.
The kingdom of fire, to which I gave the color black, is a son of count! The kingdom of water, to which I gave the color blue, is a freaking marques himself?! And... The one whom I gave the color gray... Is from Algernon... "Fuck..."
Nanatili akong nakatitig sakanilang tatlo. "How old are you, my lord?" Walang katuturang tanong ko sa marquess. Come on! Side me with this one! There's not a single person who where appointed unto a sovereign who's age is only twenty and or below.
"Eighteen..." He answered. Ow fuck... He's an orphan, at this point, that is the only explanation I can seek for.
"And the others?"
"We're at the same age, Lady Silverlife." It was the son of a general that answered me.
I flinched. "It's supposed to be a joke, a simple theme to follow. I didn't know I can uncover such revelation about my dorm mates!"
"Well--"
"And don't give me the talk about the fact that you're supposed to tell your mates anyway! You'll never be a part of such controversial university, since this school is rumoured to be an ally of Malign. Also, there's an academy, an opposing academy somewhere in Aguariah as well. An academy that has way more better image than this one...!" Mahabang salaysay ko, kasabay ng biglang pagbigat ng hangin sa paligid ko. I felt the sudden heavy atmosphere, and their emotions literally shifts. I can literally see their aura without even looking at them. Funny. Nag-angat ako ng tingin, "Well, Aljernon has all the means to join and send a students to this school," seryosong saad ko at direktang tumingin sa mga mata ni Camael, ang anak ng heneral. "But you two," I averted my eyes to meet the other two, the Marquess and Zadkiel, the son of a fucking duke. "What on Agewertia are you doing here?"
"You know about Aljernon...?" Camael asked.
"You know about Xyntilliet... ?" The marques and Zadkiel asked in unison.
"Huh," I snorted. "You'd not want to know." Muling saad ko sa isang nang-uuyam na tono.
"Who are you?" And this question came from the three of them. Funny how similar they all think.
"Sinabi ko naman na diba? I am Love Silverlife, what else would you want me to say?" Saad ko saka sila nginitian. "Besides, you're sons of nobility, and one of you is a nobility himself. Why don't you do a research yourselves, hmm?" Muling saad ko.
Ilang sandali pa akong nakipagtitigan sakanila bago ako muling nagsalita. "Hindi ko nagbihis para sa wala. At hindi ko kayo binihisan para makipagtitigan lang saakin. Tara na at mamasyal!" I exclaimed happily as I flicked my fingers, slightly changing their emotions, and their feelings alongside it.
I didn't erase their memory, though. No one will ever be confused, or so I hope.
