Chapter 4

Kanina pa hindi nagpapakita si—argh nakalimutan kong itanong ang pangalan nya.. I wanna talk to him again pero ayaw naman ako pakawalan ni Yuri at ni Claudia.. Nakakafrustrate! I want to know more, pero pahara-hara naman tong dalawang to!

" Yumi, san mo nakuha tong bracelet mo?" tanong ni Claud, " Someone gave it to me.."

" Huh? Sino?"

" Taboo ba sya?" napatingin sakin si Claud, " No. Nagtataka lang ako kasi that's one of the precious protecting bracelets, normally called charms.."

Kumunot ang noo ko, " Can you please tell me more about it?"

" It's almost the most powerful charm.. First because of its gem, Ruby." Hinawakan nya yung bracelet sa kamay ko, " Second is, its chained feature with no end, symbolizes that it protects the holder of the charm. Women who were chosen to wear this are unique.. They will experience unique types of love and life. However, this charm must be protected carefully by its wearer. Once the charm sense that the wearer don't want its value anymore, it would slip away and would transfer to other woman who were desperate to have the charm's value."

" Not just that. This charm is very powerful and it have a chained mysterious gift with it. Some say that this jewelry's value is as much as a world's existence.. It's also a portal for healing.. You might wonder why this bracelet means the world, it's because the other charms or bracelets were ruined. Not by humans but by its main creator.. Not God, but the Armadean who made it."

" Who's Armadean?"

" It was a kind of creature who was born with such perfection but love will be the one that will break them. Armadean's are females.. But the payment of their perfection is they will live a terrible love life. Legends said that the last Armadean is not a maker but the 'rebel'. She's the one who destroyed the other charms.. This is the only charm that survived because her son was the carrier of this before he gave this up for granting other's desires.."

" There's other charm that survived—actually but, it is the Koro's eye. Is an Esperanto meaning 'heart'.. Koro is Armadean's son and a matchmaker that was born in the present or modern times but travels back in time to match people.. His charm can never be taken away from him.. Kaya this charm is the only and almost the most powerful charm left.."

" Oh." The information left me speechless. I didn't know that it was that special. Teka, 'chained mysterious gift with it?'

" Claud, pano mo nalaman ang lahat ng yon?"

She smiled at me, " Secret."

Nakahiga ako sa kama sa kwarto ko ng biglang humulma ang katauhan ng isang lalaki sa dilim na naglalakad palapit sa dulo ng kama, " Hi.."

" Hey." Napaupo agad ako ng makita sya at umupo naman sya sa edge ng kama. Nasisinagan ng ilaw ng buwan ang kalahati ng muka nya, " Looks like you knew more about the charm."

Tumango ako, " Yeah I did, but I didn't know anything more about you.."

" Of course, if you want to know everything about me, you should ask me and no one else. Because I'm the only one who knows who I am.." he reached out for my face when it touched, my eyes automatically shut and in like a split second-random things flooded my mind, but it was blur and only one stand out,

" Can I touch you?"

He smiled as he withdrew his hands from my face, " This is a fact, Yumi. I can touch you but its limited but you can't touch me. Not even a mere touch of your hand."

" Why?"

" Your hands are powerful, a mere touch of your hand in any part of me, will kill me. Literally."

" How?"

" You would absorb me."

" It's so complicated.." tumawa sya ng mahina, " Kaya na hindi ko sinasabi sayo ng biglaan eh."

" But can I know one more thing, tonight?"

" What is it?"

" What's your name?"

" You won't believe if I will tell you and it would be bloody explaining all the facts to you.." natatawang sabi nya, " Please? Hindi kaya kita matawag. Kahit nickname ko lang sayo."

He looked deep in my eyes and it urged me to lay my head on the pillow and pull my blanket up.. My eyes went heavier and the sight of his eyes were the last in my memory before I shut my eyes when a word echoed in my head,

" Emeaich ."

Emeaich is pronounced as em-ait-ch or ay-mich. I highly recommend to use the em-ait-ch, but either way would be great.
