Under The Cherry Blossom Tree

Chapter 2 - Your language

Venus POV



The sun.

The sun could make you blind.

The sun could burn you alive.

However, despite its dangerous nature, I'm still in love with it.

I love how it rose up in the sky.

I love how it sets.

I was always watching tho.

It seems close but it's far away

It never reaches me

Even if I get close to it.

We never really meet.

"Hi!"

"Who is this girl hiding in the bush and eavesdropping on someone else's conversation?"

Wait... I met her before.

"Cyra!! Dito!! Cyra!!" A young woman exclaimed, she ran towards the other woman and hugged her tightly.

The woman that was called Cyra flashed a bright smile as she hugged the other woman back.

That bright smile...

She's that woman.

She has those dreamy eyes I have never seen before.

"Dang, this cherry blossom thing is killing me. Why do girls like this?" My younger brother asked while we take a quick stroll around the park.

As we were walking around, I spotted a pair of dreaming eyes, she was in complete dazed while looking around.

I poke my younger brother's shoulder to gain his attention.

"What?" He typed words on his phones.

"See that girl?" Typing the words on my phone, I pointed the black haired woman, wearing a plain white turtleneck with a black trousers with another woman whom I think is her friend.

"What about her?"

"I want her as my personal maid" after typing those words, he looked at me and looked at that woman I'm referring to.

"Okay... Don't expect too much though, I'm not good at talking." I saw him approach that woman, even if I can't hear what they're talking about, I understood the situation right away when a man pulled that woman and hid her behind him.

After a minute, a grin plastered on my face once I saw them talking. After their conversation, my brother walked towards me with a victorious smile.

He typed something on his phone and showed it to me.

"She said she'll think about it but don't worry, after reading that expression of hers, I know she'll agree."

I never thought something like that would happen.

I never thought I'll get what I want.

She's here.

The sunshine.

The sun.

yra's POV

"Good morning everyone, my name is Cyra Aiden Avery but you can call me Hinata." Nag introduce muna ako pagpasok ko ng bahay. Of course kinuha ko na yung offer since I need a job para matulungan ang pamilya ko sa pilipinas.

Binati din naman ako ng ibang mga maid at nang mag-asawa na may ari ng bahay.

"Naku hija mag tagalog kana, puro kami pilipino dito sa bahay, maliban nalang sa asawa ko" nagulat pa ako nang mag salita ng tagalog ang babae.

"Ahh sige po. Maraming salamat po." I feel kind of comfortable knowing na may ka-lahi pala ako. I'm a bit confused since mukhang bata-bata pa yung babae pero hindi ko na ito pinansin pa nang idala nila ako sa dining kung nasaan daw ang aalagaan ko.

"She's the one you're taking care of. That's my step daughter Venus, she's deaf but you can talk to her by either using sign language or typing words on the phone." The world seems to have stopped spinning as I made my way inside the dining room and saw her eating alone.

That woman... She's the one I saw a week ago.

I watched as one of the maids tapped her shoulder, she looked at her and typed something on her phone. My breath hitched as she turned her head towards me and when our eyes met I found myself gazing at her with awe.

She smiled at me and waved, and although I felt a bit shy, I waved back.
