Cold Beast [COMPLETED]

Chapter 44

Chapter 44

nadulas sa kamay ko ang painting... nakita ko ang likod nito. may nakadikit na parang sobre dun.

may nakalagay dun na "to my princess." is this for me? it's Lucian's masterpiece so I think it's for me.

My dearest princess

I know I shouldn't wrote this because you'll get mad. of course. but I know that I had to because I can't utter these words when I'm gone...

I know you're gonna hit me if you've read this but I just wanna say... thank you for everything. thank you for the memories. thank you for being there for me. my princess, I know you're mad now. but I just want to tell this to you... bago pa man mahuli ang lahat.

I'm so happy having you as my sister. I am so lucky having you near me because lot of guys only dreamt about it. baby, I know I'd had to say good bye to you one day. ayokong mangyari na hindi ko iyon masasabi sa iyo kung sakali man kaya dito... sa sulat na ito, sana masabi ko sayo kung gaano ako kaswerte sayo. kung gaano kita kamahal at kung gaano ka kahalaga sa akin.

please don't do shitty things, baby. I'll get mad. don't entertain other boys than knights and Frost. baka hindi na ako ang magtanggol sa iyo. I don't want you to end up being like Trish who got raped and killed. baby, please be careful. be brave. Hindi ko ito masabi sa iyo sa personal dahil baka iyakan mo ako. ang pangit mo pa naman umiyak.

when the time came that I'm not with you anymore... I want you to always remember how I love you as my sister. don't lose hope. kayanin mo lahat ng pagsubok. you're a better woman. don't let the demon speak for you.

ayokong dumating yung araw na hindi ako makakapag paalam sa iyo ng maayos. so, for advance, I want you to be brave for facing the challenges that'll come to your life. if the time comes I won't be by your side... always remember that I'm always here... guarding you.

I can't imagine myself being left by my princess so I will do everything I can to protect you. even if it cost my life, baby. always remember that I love you.

mangako ka sa akin na kapag dumating yung araw na mawawala na ako, magpakatatag ka. mangako ka, okay? ipangako mo sa akin na hindi ka babagsak. mangako ka na aalagaan mo silang lahat. ang sarili mo. mangako ka... na kapag umalis ako... aalagaan mo ang iniwan ko.

baby, I'll tell you a secret. I'm inlove with your best friend.

I secretly loved her. she liked me too.

anyway... I know you like him. ilakad kita sa kanya? Kasi hindi ko kayang ipagkatiwala ka sa hindi ko kilala. but if you're happy with anyone else, then I won't butt in

cut there. I love you princess.

Lucian

pinunasan ko ang pisngi ko.

ang daya mo talaga. tinitigan ko ang larawan nya sa baba ng sulat. naka dila sya.

I missed you, Lucian.

someone caressed my stomach.

"the last memories I had with him is when he was in the hospital." niyakap nya ako at hinalikan ang balikat ko.

"kung alam ko lang na mawawala sya sa akin... I should've just stayed with him. Hindi ko na sana sya pinilit para bumili nga siomai. or... sinamantala ko na ang pagkakataon." hinaplos nya ang bewang ko.

Hindi ko na nakayanan at hinarap ko si Frost at niyakap ang leeg nya. when it comes to Lucian... sya lang ang iiyakan ko ng ganito. he is his best friend.

"I also never thought that the last time we talked is the last time I'll hear his voice." Suminghot ako sa kanya.

"when is it?" tanong ko.

"when... maybe you're in new York?" hinigpitan ko ang yakap sa leeg nya. bakit ba ang sarap sa pakiramdam ng yakap?

"he asked me to protect you. he wants me to be by your side always. he also mentioned a thing that made me confused all of my life." hinarap ko ang leeg nya. ghad his smell is so good.

"he said. 'i don't know what to feel seeing this girl beside me. I don't recall anything. but can you please guide her? I feel like she has the biggest part of my life.'" nalukot ko ang mukha ko sa narinig. at the end of it all... kahit na hindi nya ako kilala... he made sure, before he left, that I'll be good. I'll be alright.

napahagulgol ako sa balikat nya. he did nothing but to hug me while I cried.

mahihinang singhot at hininga na lang ang lumabas sa akin kahit na walang tigil ang pag agos ng luha ko. he lifted me and entered our room.

"hush now, baby, I don't want to see you tired because of crying. I'd rather see you tired because of something else than this." ngumisi sya ng natigilan ako.

"ewan ko sayo." napapaos ang boses ko dahil sa iyak. he smiled.

"you hungry? what do you want?" tanong nya at hinaplos ang pisngi ko. inayos nya ang kumot na tinabon nya sa katawan ko ng nahiga ako.

"I want you beside me." he chuckled.

"I'd like that too." i smiled at him.

niyakap ko ang leeg nya. he sniffed on my neck and kissed me there.

"Where is Erica?" akala ko ay matitigilan sya pero patuloy nya naman akong hinahalikan sa leeg.

"hmm... I don't know. nasa kulungan?" tinagilid ko ang ulo ko at pumikit.

"Gianna..."

"hmm?" hinarap ko sya ng tumigil sya.

"will you be my wife? again?" he smiled when he saw me stunned.

may dinukot sya sa bulsa nya. pinakita sya sa akin ang isang crystal blue diamond ring. silver and singsing at ang diamond ang asul.

tumango ako. sinuot nya iyon sa palasingsingan ko. dumukot ulit sya sa bulsa nya at napaawang ang labi ko sa nakita.  I was so sure that I threw it before I left the school!

ngumisi ulit sya.

sinuot nya ulit sa akin ang singsing na napapalibutan ng maliliit na pink na diamante.

he kissed me once again.
