Alignment of the Stars

Chapter 13

The sky sighted the wonders in our eyes, love. We kissed passionately, I can feel his tongue in my mouth. He stopped and looks at me. I was hungry, thirsty for his kiss. I kissed him, swallowing my pride. I love him

He looks at me and holds my hand. I lean my head into his shoulders. His arms were wrapped around my body.

I can feel him, his presence makes me safe. The sky was as beautiful as before, the stars were glistening brightly.

"I love you." He said while looking at me.

I looked at him, full of concern. I want to be with him but I'm afraid. I'm worried. I'm anxious about what happened the other night, where my dignity and prestige were stolen. Plus, the mere fact that Daddy doesn't like him makes me even doubt my feelings for him. I cried.

"It's okay, I'll wait for you until you're ready, by that then we'll be able to love each other freely. Without chains divesting our love. When that time comes, you can love me with no restrictions. "

I was sobbing, crying in his shoulders was a big boost to my emotional betterment. I can feel his love sprouting, I want to be with him, to spend the rest of my life with him. But this is just the beginning of our relationship, some trials will be playing with our emotions. But no matter what happens, I will always be his and he will always be mine.

"I love you, no matter what the consequences are, I'm willing to face it, I'll face it with you. Even if the whole world goes against our relationship, I'll face it with you. I'll never leave you." I said.

His tears were forming from his eyes, as it slowly falls. He looks at me.

"You never know how lucky I am to meet you. You were always shining bright which makes it impossible to be with you but you let me in, you gave me the chance to know you, to love you. I'll never leave you, no matter what. Even if the universe shatters, I'll try to fix it for you. I may not give you the things you desire the most but all I can give you are the stars, giving you hope, comfort, and love." He said while he was holding my hands and kissed me again.

He was so sincere with his words. He was the best thing that ever happened to me. Without him, I don't know what will transpire. I'll be with him against all odds.

He wraps his jacket around me to avoid the strong wind. We were already leaving from that place carrying all the love and promises that the sky witnessed. He was just holding my hands the whole time while looking above, trying to mend his messy thoughts.

"Hey, is there something wrong? I asked him.

" No love, there's nothing wrong." I love you as he kissed my forehead.

Having him by my side makes the time slow, stagnant. Ironically speaking, his presence makes me forgot all the things that happened. And the proof is I didn't notice that we were already in front of our house.

"We're here already, I guess this is goodbye? Au Revoir my love. I love you." As he watched me leave. I wave my hands as  I reached the gate.

I entered the house and I heard a loud noise, things were broken, broken pieces of the vases and plates were scattered on the floor as I saw dad sniffing the smoke from his cigarette. He looked at me with a frantic gaze. He approached me and chuckled.

"Well, my great daughter is here. How's your day dear? Giving yourself to a stoner, user? How weak."

I looked at him.

"I despise you, the audacity to insult Conan without looking at yourself in the mirror was quite ambitious. You're too full of yourself, maybe that's the reason why your company is falling apart! Do you want me? You want me to ask Neil and get married so that your company will be saved? Do you want that Dad?" I said.

You can see from his eyes how he was so mad that grabs my hair and tries to slap me. He punched me in my stomach.

I can feel the pain, the agony was once again giving me bruises as a reminder of being restrained by my own life.

"The audacity to say that without realizing that I am more powerful than you makes you ambitious." He used my statement as a rebuke to his madness.

"I own you! I am the one who took care of you and I have the right on when to use you. And you know what will happen right? And besides, you will never disappoint Daddy, right? he said while pushing me, causing me to trudge on the broken pieces of the vase.

What happened before seems to happen right now. Tell me what can happen next? Tell me.

I rushed to my room, enduring the pain from my feet. I was crying, afraid, anxious. The trauma is once again alleviating, haunting me. It made me realize that I can never get away from this.

I was holding my phone, having doubts. I was afraid of what Daddy can do. He has the power to help and to destroy. And I witnessed both. I witnessed how he gave death threats to mom and me. He was threatening to kill her and me if she leaves. But she still left. She was a coward. But I'm not. I can make this on my own, without dragging anyone. I want to solve this. I want to be free but how can I be free when Conan is my freedom and leaving him makes me lose my own. But I don't want him to suffer. I don't want him to get hurt. I want him and his family to be safe.

And here I am, eating my own words.

I grabbed my phone and called Neil.

"Hello?" he said

"Let's do it. Let's get married!"

Without hesitation.

I want to be with him but if being with him makes him suffer, then I'll leave. Even if it's against the stars.
