MIDNIGHT MESS

MESS 30: Pleasuring Struggle

They were sweating from exertion and trying to catch their breath. They haven't known this struggle and no one knows and expected it. They came this far and this scene maybe familiar but not this worst. they had to step on the rock as wide as their feet to get straight across. Kaunting galaw nila ay maaari silang mahulog sa malalim na bangin. Dinig na dinig ang ingay na gawa ng agos ng tubig. Sa ibabajw at kanang banda ng inaapakan nila ay stalagmites at stalactites na maaari nilang makapitan.

Hawak ng binata ang kaliwang kamay ng dalaga habang patawid sa kabila, labing dalawang talampakan ang layo nito mula sa kinaroroonan nila.

"Let go of me Frost."

"W-Why?"

"So that I can move comfortably, I can't balance myself if you're holding me."

Alanganin ang binata na bumitaw but he did for her. One meter away from each other she saw him shivers that make her realized that matter how cruel and feisty this man is. He's has a weaknesses and fears. He's affraid of heights the moment and so as she.

He was shaking while closing his eyes, Takot din naman sa matataas ang dalaga ngunit hindi na ganun kalala dahil sinanay niya ang sarili and she even tried the wild rides with Keila. But this man.

' I think he can't do it'

"Fros-"

"F*ck, shi-"

Mabilis ang pangyayari at bigla na lamang itong nadulas mula sa pagka-apak at iisang kamay na lamang ang nakakapit sa batong kanina'y inaapakan niya. Kabado na ang dalaga kaya inilahad niya ang kamay at pilit inaabot ito ng binata.

With the excessive weight of the force, the girl's grip suddenly gave up and at the same time the man's hand slipped.
They both fell off the cliff but the man grabs the lady's hand and pull her closer to him and hugs her tightly.

Walang nakakaalam kung ano ang naghihintay sa kanila sa ibaba.

"I love you Mafemme"

Words that the man utters before they've reached the ground, is it really the ground?

"Hey, Ma femme..."

He checked for the lady's breathing but she's unresponsive. He Tilt her head back and look, listen and feel for breaths. But she's not breathing. He kept her head back, and sealed her mouth over his mouth. He pinch her nose and blow into her mouth.

He even repeated this five times. And start giving chest compressions. He pushes firmly in the middle of her chest and then release.

"Ma femme, wake up darling."

Then the lady's now coughing. He hugs her tightly and kisses her forehead.

"Are you worried?"

"Yes darling, I am so worried and scared, stay with me please..." His voice cracked.

"I-I'm so scared, I thought that'll be my last." Dahil sa takot ay napayakap siya sa binata. Hindi maipagkakailang mahal niya nga ang binata at ganoon din ito sa kanya sadyang ang mundo lang ang umaayaw sa kanila at kumukuntra.

"No, I won't let that happen my love."

Nanatili sila sa ganoong position habang kinakalma ang mga sarili nila. Naka sandal ang binata sa bato at naka sandal naman ang likod ng dalaga sa dibdib ng binata at kinukulong ito gamit ang mga bisig niya. They're both wet because they've fell into the water and they we're lucky. Wala silang ilaw dahil nasira ito nang mahulog itong kasabay nilang dalawa.

Marahil wala na nga silang ilaw ay hindi rin namang gaanong madilim dahil sa liwanag na dulot ng Cherenkov radiation. It's in the water, and that'll their guide but instead of leaving they choose to calm their nerves.
