"WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU SAYING?!". Napasigaw si Cole pero tinakpan niya agad yung bibig niya at tumingin muna sa paligid bago siya magsalita ulit ng mahina.
"I know I may sound crazy, but I want to leave my father's side. No one, not even him cared about me there"
"But this mission will give you that respect and you grew up there, not here. Why are you giving up now when we have a chance and it's right in front of us. Isa pa, kapag nalaman nila ang totoong ikaw sa tingin mo ba irerespeto ka parin nila?". Galit na pinapaliwanag ni Cole.
"But Mrs.Wasi said angels may change into demons, I'm sure demons could be the same".
"Fuck that lesson, it only works for probably angels".
"Hindi lang iyon Corn. They love me despite being weak, despite not having magic, also I think I can find someone who will love me wholeheartedly here. I know you will too, you even found your dream girl here". Sagot ko kay Cole ng mahinahon pero hindi nakumbinse si Cole at bigla niya akong hinatak ng sobrang lapit, to the point na our lips collided harshly. He parted but not letting go of my arms.
"Kapag minahal ba kita itutuloy mo na ba ang misyon na ito?" Galit na sabi ni Cole. Hindi na nagproprocess isip ko na halos di na rin ako makagalaw dahil sa nangyare. Hindi ko rin alam ang gagawin at sasabihin. Soon enough hinatak nanaman niya ako papalapit and our lips collided again but now more harshly.
"We can go back to our old life, and you can have me as a lover, we just must do this mission together. Eto lang chance natin Vexie, nandito na ang army na kailangan natin". He said before shaking me to wake me up from being shocked.
"How many times do I have to kiss you, for you to stop living this fantasy?! Demons don't deserve to be happy".
At this point kusang gumalaw ang kamay ko at sinampal siya. Dumaloy na rin ang luhang pinipigilan ko kanina pa at halatang nagulat si Cole dahil nanlake ang mga mata niya pagkatapos niya akong tingnan sa mukha. Tumakbo na lang ako, di ko alam kung nasan na ako pero tumakbo ako ng tumakbo hanggang may biglang pumigil sa akin at niyakap ako. Doon ko napansin na nandito na pala ako sa Kai Mark.
"Vexie, what happened?" Alam ko kung kanino ang boses na ito.
"Zeyl" Tanging pangalan niya lang nabanggit ko dahil hindi ko mapigilang umiyak. Naramdaman niya ito kaya siguro niyakap niya ako ng mas mahigpit.
"Go ahead cry it all out, just pour it all on me" Mahinahong sabi ni Zeyl. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang nagpapakalma sa akin, yung mukha ko ba sa dibdib ni Zeyl, yung pabango niya ba na amoy mint, yung magandang tunog ba ng puso niya o yung yakap niya sa akin na para bang gusto niya akong protektahan. Pero, I stopped crying. Niyakap ko na rin siya ng mga ilang segundo bago ako bumitaw at nagpunas ng luha. Nakatingin na ngayon si Zeyl sa mukha ko at may napansin siya, he wiped a tear from my face with his thumb.
"Vexie tell me what happened". He asked with a really calm, deep and raspy kind of voice that it sounds soothing to my ears.
"Someone kissed me". His eyes grew wider upon hearing it.
"It's my first kiss and it was a kiss full of anger and hate" Napaiyak nanaman ko , naalala ko nanaman ang mukha ni Cole kanina, I was afraid. Napaupo ako sa damuhan sa kakaiyak
"Vexie calm down" Umupo na rin siya and patted my back.
"It was just a kiss. Your future boyfriend wouldn't mind that". Sabi ni Zeyl, dahilan para kusang lumakas daloy ng luha ko.
"It was important to me. And I dream of having a heartwarming first kiss. Not like that". Sa totoo lang naiinis na ako sa mga luha ko, ayaw tumigil
"Vexie look at me" He lifted up my chin and gaze upon my eyes habang pinupunsan luha ko.
"Forget about that kiss" Sabi ni Zeyl .
"I can't it's my onl..". Hindi ko natapos ang sinasabi ko cause his lips met mine. It was so soft, sweet, gentle and it gives butterflies in my stomach. Yung puso ko parang handa nang sumabog. My eyes closed by itself pero hindi parin siya tumitigil. His movement is gentle as if he's telling me something. After a few minutes we parted our lips and filled our lungs with air. We both giggle at the same time.
"That was.."
"Your first kiss" Sagot ni Zeyl. Napatakip ako ng bibig.
"Zeyl why did you do that?".
"I've been wanting to do that since the first time I saw you"
"You mean noong first day ko naming dito sa school?"
"No. The time when you first met Cole" Nagulat ako sa sagot niya, napaatras ako ng kaunti. Paano niya nalaman yung totoong pangalan ni Corn?
"What.. What do you mean? Explain to me" Nanginginig kong tanong. At makikita naman sa itsura ni Zeyl na naging malungkot siya dahil sa reaksyon ko.
"I've known you ever since you're little. Remember what I said about using magic to remove my demon side. Well, my demon side was thrown to hell by my parents, I can control it at first but when it met you. My demon side have a mind of its own and it named itself as Cole. I couldn't control it anymore, but I can still hear and see whatever is happening around Cole. I watched your whole life through Cole's eyes. I know for the fact that you are the daughter of the demon king and you are the reason why demons became stronger. I was interested in you at first sight and it grows stronger whenever I watch you. I wanted to help you so badly but all I could do is watch. I've watch you suffer, and it pains me. That's why when you showed up here, I was happy and I wanted to make you happy and probably make you stay. I've seen your talk with Cole a while ago as well. That's why I decided to tell you now. " Sinabi ni Zeyl lahat ng gusto niyang sabihin habang nakatingin sa lapag.
"So you helped me a lot of times, even sacrifice your grades and then kissed me. Even though you know the truth? Does anyone else knows about my secret".
"Yes and I will never tell anyone the truth, dont worry. Also I've known you for years and you're still here, right?"
"Yes. Then can you call me by my real name?"
"Vexalia... I love you" Lumaki ang aking mga mata while my heart is beating so fast but it feels right. Everything feels right. And I finally heard someone say it for the first time. It made me really happy kaya naman niyakap ko siya kaagad.
"I might not be in love at first but I love you now" Sabi ko sa kanya habang nagyayakapan kami but then he hugged my waist and pulled me in for another kiss. So I kissed back and it went like 15 minutes before we parted.
"Wait Zeyl. I think I can do it now." Umupo ako sa lapag and meditate. Soon a flash of light cameout from me.
"You really did! Congratulations"
"Zeyl, Vexie" Pagkalingon namin, nakita namin si Cole.
"Cole?" Nabanggit naming dalawa ni Zeyl.
"I heard everything. And if I really am just a clone. Please treat me as the usual Cole. And, princess Vexalia you're right. We should just stay here cause we're being treated better here than anywhere else.. Vexalia sorry for what I did a while ago". Nakatingin sa damo si Cole habang nagsasalita.
Nagusap pa kami ng kaunti bago kami bumalik sa party at nakipagsayawan.
Soon naging girlfriend na nga rin ni Cole si Asha and we celebrated for having it.
