Ruckus Crown

Chapter 41

RUCKUS STEPPED back, his heart drumming inside his chest, it felt like it is begging to be let out.

"N-No..." Ruckus whispered; disbelief was strong in him.

And when the person inside started to take off the mascot's head, Ruckus lost it. He fell down on his knees while his arms tightly embraced the mascot's waist.

Wala siyang pakialam kung mukha siyang bata na binigyan ng napakagandang laruan. He just broke down. Damn it! I miss her so much.

"Ma chérie..." Isinubsob niya ang mukha sa tiyan ng maskot habang pilit na kinakalma ang sarili at ang luhang nagbabadya ng pumatak.

Mariin siyang pumikit ng hinaplos nito ang ulo niya at linasap ang muling mahawakan nito. Tang'na mahigit isang taon narin niyang hindi narardaman ang hawak nito.

"Get up, Ruck." Utos nito sa kanya na ikinataas ng mukha niya.

Damn, it's really her. It's really his ma chérie.

"Help me with this fucking—" Binulong nito ang mura. "— mascot, it is hot."

Sa sinabi niyo ay napangiti siya at agad tumayo at mabilis na pinahiran ang mata niya bago ito tinulungan mahubad ang suot na costume.

When she was out of the fucking mascot, Ruckus did not wait for a second, he fastly wrapped her into a tight hug, lifting her from the ground.

"Woah!" Hiyaw nito.

"Damn, ma chérie... you don't know how grueling it is to live without you," he said, face buried into the side of her neck. Ibinaba niya ito pero hindi siya bumitaw. "You're such a bitch for making me suffer that way. You never change, you know that." Mahina niyang kinagat ang leeg nito.

"Ruck—"

"But I love you nonetheless. Very much. I can go through hardship as long as at the end of that you'll come back to me and stay with me," he continued and let go to cup her face. "You're not going anywhere again, okay? Stay, please... Please ma chérie." Ipinatong niya ang noo sa noo nito. "I'm begging you, please... Stay with us."

Napapikit siya nang hinawakan nito ang batok niya habang ang isang kamay nito ay nakasapo sa isang panga niya.

"You don't have to beg, Ruck. I'm staying. I miss crashing you ass attitude." She chuckled then without a warning, he felt her lips on his.

Muling namasa ang mata niya na siyang mariin niyang ikinapikit. It's my Sunset...

Forgetting all the people around, with all his attention and brain solely focused on the woman that he missed terribly, Ruckus kissed her back. Deep. Putting all his emotions and feelings into the kiss. Making her know how much he misses her.

"Halt! Halt!"

Ruckus heard his brothe— Rosh — shout and it was enough to cut the bliss he was in, reminding him that they are in the middle of the crowd.

Tumigil siya sa paghalik sa labi nito pero pinaulanan niya naman ang mukha nito ng halik na ikinatawa nito.

"Happy birthday, mon chéri." Nakangiti nitong bati sa kanya ng tumigil siya sa pagpapalitan ng halik sa mukha nito.

"Thanks ma chérie and welcome back." Balik niya dito saka inikot ang tingin at hinanap ang box na inabot nito kanina. "Is this my birthday gift from you?" Tanong niya at kinuha ang box na nakapatong sa service cart.

"A-huh." Tumango ito.

Napamasahe siya ng batok niya habang kagat ang pang-ibabang labi at nakatingin sa box. Kahit hindi niya buksan iyon ay alam niya kung ano ang nasa loob.
