Wrecked Obsession

CHAPTER TWO

'You want to be free?
then be distant to my body.
Go, and run away from me,
but remember, my lady.
Your heart is mine till infinity.'

— Gemini.

ALIYAH'S POV.

There's no word can make me weak and feared. That's what i believe in my nineteen years of existence. Dad taught me how to be strong and brave even if i am a weakling, mom said that i shouldn't show bothered when someone will say something about me. I shouldn't care, right? For i believe when you show affection, it's like your giving them a permission to destroy you.

But how? I could i stop the softness in my eyes? Is my heart is irretrievable to stop beating so darn fast? Am i really strong enough to avert my mind from him?

"W-what did you j-just called me?" I ask, in a deep confusion.

Umatras ako ng sinubukan niyang humakbang papalapit sa akin. His blue eyes darken as if he doesn't like  my stunt.

"Lady.." He seriously answered, he cooly put his hands in his poket, making me relief a bit.

Tumango ako at inalis ang pag kakatitig sa kanya. I can't stand the emptiness in his eyes kahit sobrang ganda pa nito. Patagal ng patagal, mas lalo akong nahihirapan. There's something in his eyes i couldn't name. Something alive but dying..

"Your being distant to me.."

Napa igtad ako ng biglaan siyang nag salita. Hinarap ko ulit ang mukha niya, from his frowning eye brows, messy hair, and his long pointed nose. Iniiwasan kong mag tugma ang mga mata namin pero hindi yata siya nakiramdam dahil gina-galaw niya ang ulo niya para mahanap ang mata mata ko.

"H-hindi naman, ah?" Patay malisya kong sagot dito, kulang nalang ay pumikit ako. Bakit ba siya galaw ng galaw? Ang sarap pilipitin ng leeg niya!

"Come to me then.." Pag hahamon niya.

"I didn't know you—"

"You do, you'd just call my name inside of my room." He cut me off.

Di ko na mapigilang samaan siya ng tingin. "Just your name, Mister. It's not enough basis to me, getting close to a stranger like you."

So pag alam ang pangalan, close na? Ano yun? Parang instant cup noodles lang na pag lagyan ng mainit na tubig, luto na? His weird!

He smirked. "I like black.." he suddenly said.

You like black... because?

I breathed. "I'm not asking—"

"I don't eat meat, just beef. I hate bitter gourd and pumpkin. I'm twenty-four, a bachelor of Mathematics degree, major in philosophy and science but working as a business monster, currently running eight companies around the world. Also i'm a musician, i have a band. No dirty records, except for a business gossips. Lastly, i wanna be a farmer and i love the game snake and lader."

Nalag-lag ang panga ko sa kanya. Para yatang huminto sa pag kalakaw ang utak ko dahil sa sinabi niya. What the fuck? Is he real? Sa edad niyang yan? Kinaya niya lahat ng iyon? Ako ba'y pinag-loloko nito?

"Y-your... young." I said unconsciously.

He nodded, not leaving his blue eyes from me. "I'm still studying, tho i've been accelerated many times, raised me this far. However, i have to learn more, and work harder."

My heart clenched.

Napa-iwas ako ng tingin sa kanya. I was truly amaze, who wouldn't be? His gifted. But the same time i feel small and i don't know why. I'm taking business administration and i'm proud of it, ako ang susunod na hahawak sa companya ni Daddy kahit may parte sa puso ko ang maging tanyag sa larangan ng pag-pipinta imbis sa larangan na kinatatayuan ng aking Ama. I feel small but as the same time, amazed. is life is too far to be reached.
