Wrecked Obsession

CHAPTER FOUR

"Can you still want the moon for a kiss than to reach every stars for a wish? I can't fly you to the moon, baby. I'm just a mare star waiting for you to wish upon me."

- Gemini.

ALIYAH'S POV.

Colors, the one thing i always had in my life. Seeing colors is easy, but finding colors in someone is like putting a thread in a needle. Yes, I painted everything that needs to be cherished.

Mom has told me that in order to live a life to the fullest, you must paint it. Time has come, and those memories will be remembered as colorful ones. Just like taking a picture using your mind, you will decide if you want it colorful or remain black and white.

So I did, I painted many. The blue in the sky, sometimes I can depict it as sadness, the yellow of the sun can also be recognized as happiness. The rage of red, pure as white and selfish as black. Lastly, the purple of love.

Those colors symbolize every person I know..

Not until i met him..

I can't see colors in him, the blue in his eyes is like an ocean of agony, there's no sign of happiness. He's not cold, but he's not capable of showing warmth either and I don't know how to call that. Only black and white symbolize emptiness and mysteries.

I know we're complete strangers and maybe I mistook him right away, but by these passing hours, everytime i take a glimpse at him, I feel like i'm color blind.

Does he even know the word peace? Nasubukan ba niyang sumaya kahit ilang segundo?

"F-f-fuc-ark!!" Napangiwi nalang ako ng nasamid siya, he smashed his chest forcefully and frown a while before he grabbed the water and madly drink it straight.

Why does he take everything in possession of aggression? The way he acts, always in rage.

"Hades, anak. Ayos ka lang?" Nag aalalang tanong ni Tita Denis sa kanya.

Hades only nod at her and continue eating my leftovers, kahit nahihiya man ay nag pipilit parin akong ngumiti sa kanila, lalo na kay Daddy na madiing-madiin ang pag kakatitig sa katabi ko. If only the spoon is made out of glass, it been scattered inside of his mouth, matunog ang bawat pag kagat niya sa tuwing sumusubo siya. Pasimple man siyang kinukurot ni Mommy sa tagiliran pero kukurap lang siya na tila ba wala siyang ginagawang masama.

The innocent blink won't work with his wife, patay parin siya mamaya..

And again, a long moment of silence...

Kung sinong pumatay magaang usapan kanina? Ang ama ko lang naman na daig pa ang inagawan ng hotdog sa hapag kainan. I'm so darn embarrassed.

If i can only excuse myself out of the table.

"So..." Tumikhim si Mommy, maybe the silence making her uncomfortable, well me too. "Ang balita ko, sikat ang Delorthan sa mga tourist site, kadalasan mga isla, so i was thinking. Why not we all have our reunion by island hopping?" Hustisyon niya, napa titig ako sa kanya saka tumango-tango para sang ayunan.

I never been in this city before, a lot of articles i've seen how Delorthan posses the body of water, this is why i argee my mother's idea. That would be super fun!

"Yes!" Tita Denis' eyes glimmered in excitement. "Actually, gumawa ako ng bucket list. I made that two days after Harry told me y'all will come over."

Tito Harry made a face. "Basta gala, expert siya. Buti pa ako, mabuting asawa lang. Supportive pa."

"Aww.." Nang aasar na ungot ni Dad, he even laughed evily. "Wawa ka naman, ako kasi, expert sa kama, gwapo pa-aray!!" Pasimple akong ngumiwi ng umarko ang katawan ni Dad dahil sa pag kurot ni mommy sa tagiliran niya, ngayon masasabi kong masakit 'yun.
