ETACIDNYS SERIES 1: EROSIAN HERRERA

Chapter 25

Chapter 25

"I love you," He whispered.

Rarity's eyes widened as she heard those words, her heart beating so wild making her let go of Erosian and stepped away from him; with that action, Erosian's eyes flashed pain, yet he understood her action, who wouldn't be shaken when it comes to confession.

The pain in his eyes was visible as she pushed the man, putting distance between them. She felt like her head would explode, like her wildly beating heart. She can even hear it beating loudly in her ears.

She felt the atmosphere suddenly lost it's tempo, her face is red from that three words that rolled from his sweet lips. 

Tila paulit-ulit na ume-echo sa kaniyang isipan ang binanggit ng binata sabay lumulutang, ramdamn niya ang pag-angat ng init sa kaniyang mukha dahil sa sinambit nito.

"Erosian" Rarity took a deep breath and then turned around. She didn't move for a moment as she tried to calm her heart down. She cupped her chest and closed her eyes. Shit! Calm down! Calm down! 

It can't be. 

It is too early for that, hearing his I love you makes her heart runs wild, tila sasabog ang kaniyang dibdib, tila lalo itong malakas na kumalabog na hindi niya inaakala. This man is insane! Confessing something like that! Pwede naman sanang dahan-dahan.

"My feelings are sincere, Rarity, I really do love you" Napapikit ang dalaga saka sinapo ang mukha sa labis na kaba na kaniyang nararamdaman. Ramdam naman niya ang sinasabing apeksiyon nito, sadyang nabigla lamang siya.

She needs time to process his words.

"Ever since that day you broke the million-dollar vase, you give me something I never had in my life, the content in my heart, excitement, that is because of you, Rarity" Ano ba teka lang. Let me breathe! Give me space!

Erosian, damn you! Give me space for a minute! This is such a torture! Mababaliw ako sa ginagawa mo.  

"Teka lang! Let me process it!" Pasigaw na sabi ni Rarity saka umupo sa damuhan, natawa nalamang si Erosian sa dalaga na nakaupo sa kaniyang harapan, instead of coming to her, he gave her a time to process it, just like what she said.

He walks towards the dining table and sits there watching Rarity as if she is a child playing with the grass, trying to find her senses, and he doesn't pressure her.

Nag-karoon ng pag-kakataon na i-proseso ng dalaga ang inamin sa kaniya ni Erosian, tila nag-balik siya sa umpisa mula sa mga kilos at pang-yayari na kanilang pinag-saluhan. 

Ngunit hindi niya matago ang kabang nararamdaman, handa naman na siya sa sasabihin ni Rarity kung sakaling hindi sila parehas ng nararamdaman, matatanggap naman niya ito kahit masakit.

But he won't give up, he loves her so much! As long there is no someone else, there won't be someone else! She will be his! Rarity is his sun, the air he breathes, the vitamins he needs. To him, she is everything.

All he can do is wait and be a persistent suitor to her; even if she rejects him a hundred times, he'll try again a thousand times, if she turned her down million times, he'll try again with his billion tries. 

Even to the point it makes his breath only be thy worth to wait and love her, he'll do. His heart was carved to beat and chant her name like a curse, he'll accept.

Rarity will be the one to choose; no matter her decision, he'll try his best to take it after hundreds of trials and rejections. If he failed, he'll beg the Gods to give him another chance to prove his life, in another life, in another circumstances, in another time.
