Chapter 4
all to our demise
𖤍

A second ago I was talking to Kuya Maxel.

A second later I was here in front of a dozen guests, dressed in ballgown I never knew I would ever wear.

I gasped to breathe for air. As if the time jump took my capacity for breathing. Na parang nakalimutan ng sistema ko ang paghinga.

As if the time jump struck all its force on my body when I blinked, noticing the changes in a matter of seconds.

Hindi ako makahinga dahil parang bumagsak ang gravity sa lungs ko.

Natumba ako. Naghihikahos huminga.

My tears threatened to drop as my ribs tightened around my lungs.

Buti na lang nasa gilid ako at nakahawak ako sa may golden railing.

I tried to collect myself.

Bago pa ako makatayo ay may pumantay ng height ko.

He stared at me. At ginawang unan ang brasong pinatong niya sa tuhod habang nakasquat sa harap ko.

Nagulat ako doon.

Napansin ko na magulo ang medyo mahaba at makapal niyang buhok.

He might have looked similar to a golden retriever if he wasn't so gloomy. If his hair wasn't as dark and thick as his.

Bumaba ang mata ko sa mata niya. Parang isang taon o mahigit siyang walang tulog.

His eyes were tired but they glint affection and warmth that I was unfamiliar with.

He was so gloomy na parang nadala niya ang sama ng loob ng mundo.

Kung hindi lang sa suot niya ay napagkamalan ko na siyang mas mababa ang status sa akin.

He wasn't a typical male mead.
I even doubt if he even was.

With his gloomy looks, lanky physique, and slouching posture? I think he's just everyone else. An NPC or an extra. Like me.

"Found you," he finally said.

Okay... Does my character knows him?

I wish I could have this character's memories.

Para hindi ako kinakabahan kapag bigla na lang may lalapit at sasabihing nahanap na nila ako. Eh hindi ko naman sila kilala.

So tumawa ako. Yung tunog hehehe.

It's not like it would matter if I acted differently to however this character acts.

At the end of the day I'm just an extra in some else's story. So it doesn't matter.

Nang hinablot niya ako kasi papaalis na ako.

"You're leaving? After I've finally found you?"

His tight grip felt like it would bruised. A shiver of fear ran down my spine.

I didn't like how he looks at me. I didn't like how he touched me.

And above all I didn't like how he looks at me as if he knows me.

Bago ako makapagsalita ay thank goodness may dumating na butler.

"Young Master." Nang mapansin ako ng butler ay nagbow ito sa akin. "Lady Noe."

He's a noble then.

So noble din ako?

I wonder if he's higher than my character's status para matantya ko kung safe ba ako.
