[Klare's POV]
My eyes rounded in surprisement. I feel like the whole world stop.
No one from the KPA ever dared to call my name more than twice. I was so drowned in shock that I just realized I was being dragged by Mr. Aguilar.
His words... his words made me feel alive in just an instant. I never felt this something before. I don't understand what i'm feeling.
This place and my feelings right now is so unfamiliar. My body felt so light like I was floating. There are mixed emotions swirling inside me that made me so confused.
I watch Mr. Aguilar's hand holding mine as we run somewhere. Napatigil siya sa pagtakbo at paghatak sa akin. Binitawan niya ang kamay ko at isang malamig na ihip ng hangin ang gumising sa malalim kong pag-iisip.
"Where did you brought me?" I asked and turned around 360° as I scanned the place.
Madaming mga puno at nasa gitna kami ng tahimik na daan. I could say na parang nasa loob kami ng subdivision... it's just the large trees that are standing in line on both sides of the road.
"To some place that a bossy person like you would certainly love." My forehead creased.
Did he just called me 'bossy?'
"I'm not bossy, Mr. Aguilar-"
"Klare, stop with the formality. It's Nhelandrie... Nhe. Lan. Drie."
Inilapit niya naman ang mukha niya sa akin dahilan para mabilis akong umatras at nalilito ko siyang tiningnan, but he suddenly laughed. My face automatically softened as the time suddenly got slower. I watched his eyes smiled and his face has a fragile and happy expression.
"S-stop playing, Mr. Aguilar."
Unti-unti akong napaatras nung naging seryoso bigla ang mukha niya. I-i can't predict what he's about to do. Why is he like this? Tumama yung pwetan ko sa hood ng sasakyan at napalunok ako when he keeps coming.
"We would stay here until tomorrow or even forever... not unless you say my name." I got locked. His both arms are on my both sides. His gentle Bernstein eyes are staring down at me.
"Well?"
As soon as he spoke, his hot cinnamon musk breath touched my cheek.
"I am your Master, Mr. Aguilar, and you are my slave. You have no right to threat me-Mmm."
Something soft made a contact with my lips. It started moving and every inch of my lips was occupied by his. I want to push him but something is holding me back.
I realized that I stopped breathing. My knees are shaking and when Mr. Aguilar let go of my lips, my bones and joints felt so weak that I almost fell if only Mr. Aguilar wasn't there to catch me.
"Easy," he chuckles after licking his lip. He held me on my both arms as he helped me stand.
"What is your problem?"
"I just feel like kissing you. So don't you wanna get out of here, Klare?" Malambing na bulong niya at nananatiling hinahawakan ang magkabilang braso ko.
"Please let go of me, Mr. Agu-" I was about to call out his last name when he raised his eyebrows.
"Nhelandrie. Please let go of me, Nhelandrie."
"See? It's not that hard," sabi niya at mabilis na binitawan ang mga braso ko.
Litong-lito ako sa mga ginagawa niya. Nakapamulsa siyang ngumiti sa akin and I don't understand why I looked away.
"Aalis na ba tayo?" Nakatalikod ko siyang tinanong at binuksan ang pinto sa front seat ng sasakyan.
"No, i'm taking you somewhere like I said. Follow me... please, Klare?" Napahigpit ang hawak ko sa pinto nung tiningnan niya ako gamit ang mga tingin niyang nakakatunaw.
How should I suppose to disagree? I don't know where we are and I don't freaking know how to drive.
.[Nhelandrie's POV]
Of course she was left with no choice, so I brought her to my favorite place... Holiday Market.
The peaceful rang of the cultural bell welcomed us. The trees dance in unison and the wind embraced us gracefully. The atmosphere between me and Klare changed after we entered the Holiday Market.
It's not just an ordinary market. It has a small food court in a green field. In front of it, is a huge volleyball court. It's so peaceful. It's been four years since the last time I went here.
Ito ang naging paborito kong tambayan pagkatapos ng training ko sa Taekwondo. Napangiti ako nang malungkot nung maalala ang mga pangyayari noon.
"Why bring me here?" Klare asked after I reached our table. I put down our takoyaki that I just ordered before answering, "I want to show you my favorite place."
Nilagay ko sa harapan niya ang isang serve ng takoyaki pero pinanliitan lang niya ako ng mata.
"Aren't you satisfied with my treatment?" Napabuntong-hininga ako. Heto na naman tayo. Ba't ba kasi ang hirap para sa kanya na makita na interesado akong makilala siya ng lubusan?
"I am more than satisfied."
"Ba't gusto mong ibahin ang pagtrato ko sayo?"
Napatahimik ako at napalunok. Nagdadalawang-isip ako kung sasabihin ko sa kanya kaso... ewan ko kung ano ang magiging reaksyon niya.
"Mr. Agui- Nhelandrie, I want an answer." I really can't help myself not to chuckle. She's so serious as ever... and it felt nice hearing her say my name.
"I-i want to know you better... I want to be closer to you cause I am persistent to do my punishment as your slave. I want to protect you, Klare." Nakayukong pagsagot ko. Dahan-dahan kong inangat ang tingin sa kanya at mukhang hindi niya nagustuhan ang sagot ko dahil sa noo nitong nakakunot.
"You want to do your punishment, then follow everything that i'll order. I don't need protection from anyone, Mr. Aguilar." Akmang aalis na sana ito nung hinarangan ko ang kanyang dadaanan.
"I want to protect you with my own will. Can't you be less formal with me?"
"I don't need protection and there is no reason that I should be less formal to you. You are no special to me, Mr. Aguilar."
