062- STAR-CROSSED PARAMOUR
AHLKRIA
Anguish? Torment? Misery? Or perhaps...
Desolation.
Ruin.
What more could there be?
What real future lies beyond of us, I wonder?
The nightmares just wouldn't let me sleep. For the past few weeks, all I ever did was cry out to my heart's content until my eyes dried out of its tears.
But now, I can feel... and I am highly aware that something has changed inside of me. Something's just not right.
After I had pushed Kai away from me, my gaze instantly settled on his eyes that were varnished with purple fire like the usual. His stare felt cold and distant but strangely at the same time, confusion began to wash up all over my face when I noticed the hint of connection lingering between the both of us. It left me befuddled.
"Kria---", he tried to speak but I quickly stopped him as I raised my hand before getting out of my bed.
"Wag kang lumapit sakin.", hindi ko alam kung bakit parang nakakapanibago para sakin ang makita at makaharap si Kai. Especially right after his strange confession earlier. What absurdity.
"Sev, what are you all doing here inside my room? And... did you perhaps, do something to Kai?", I firmly accused nang makalapit ako sa iba as I saw how surprised they were from my words. They tried so hard to conceal their expressions but it was too late for me not to notice it.
"Kria, we were just checking on you---", Sev tried to reason out but I've had enough of the pretensions.
"You're lying.", I cut him off with my eyes narrowing down to his pair of storm grey ones. Kita ko ang pagkagulat niya sa sinabi ko pero kaagad din itong nakabawi.
"A-Alright. Alright, Kria.", he had no other choice but to admit defeat, lalo nang nung mapagtanto niyang wala nang makakapagpabago sa isipan ko.
"I need you to calm down and promise me that you'll take this lightly.", sa sinabi niyang iyon ay mas lalong tumindi ang kaba ko.
"Judging by the way you're all acting infront of me now, I don't think that I'll ever be able to take any of this lightly, Sev.", I stated. Kita ko ang makahulugang tinginan nilang lahat na para bang may isang napakalaking kasalanan silang pilit na itinatago sakin.
Ilang sandaling hindi nakapagsalita si Sev sa harapan ko kaya maya-maya pa ay biglang pumalit sa puwesto niya si Prim. She turned to Sev as if gesturing that she'll handle this. Pagkatapos nun ay humarap na siya sakin.
"Before anything else, we'd like to sincerely apologize, Kria.", pangunguna niya.
"What is even there to say sorry for? Unless you did something wrong, then please enlighten me now.", I pointed out while fixing my gaze at Prim.
"How... do you feel?", I furrowed my brows at her question.
"What kind of question is that?"
"Wala ka bang naramdaman na... p-pagbabago sa'yo Kria? Your mind, perhaps? Your... emotions?", I was about to react to her absurd questions nang may bigla akong napansin.
Turns out, maybe I did notice something strange. Like that hint of connection I felt when I stared into Nezekaiah's eyes earlier. May biglang pumasok sa isipan ko. Just a hunch.
