SONJA cried in despair and frustration. She just wanted to go back the way it used to be! Why does her parents needs to be in huge debt?! Why does she needs to be married to someone she didn’t know? Why does she needs to be alone and lonely for the time being? Why does her beloved brother never ever replied with her cries of help in every messages she delivered to him!? Why does life were so hard for Sonja?!
Parang ngayon lang nagsi-sink in sa kanya ang lahat. Gusto niyang makawala sa kasal na mayroon siya kay Erez dahil hindi na niya maintindihan ang nararamdaman niya.
Ayaw na ni Sonja na lumalim pa iyon! She didn’t like it! She just wanted to go back where her life was normal and carefree!
But then, she thinks of every kind gesture that Erez’s made to her. Every consideration and adoration. . . She bit her lower lip. How can she judged that good soul?! She’s indeed a rotted princess.
Panay ang paghikbi ni Sonja. Kasalanan niya rin ito, pinili niyang tumakas kesa mas kilalanin pa nang lubos si Erez. Her fear of being married to him for a long period of time took over her.
“I j-just w-want to go home!” Panay ang paghikbi niya sa pagitan ng mga salitang binitiwan niya. “I want t-to s-see my brother! I want to go out, I want to go shopping with my friends, I j-just want to be f-free from this marriage of c-convinience!” She sobs. “But I also want to stay with Erez. . .” He’s the only person who’s been very considerate to her after her parents toss her around for this marriage.
She didn’t know anymore. How deep it is. She’s just so scared to face it.
Maghapong naroon sa loob ng kagubatan si Sonja, pagod at hapo na habang namumugto ang mga mata kakaiyak. Nangibabaw ang takot sa dibdib ni Sonja nang mapansin ang papalubog na araw.
She’s scared to stay in the middle of this forest when the skies turns dark!
What if there are wild animals here? What if there’s a boar or snake? Kung kanina ay napaka-tapang ni Sonja, ngayon ay hindi na!
Kung sana ay hindi niya na lang naisipan ang tumakas!
Lalong lumakas ang kabog sa dibdib ni Sonja nang makarinig ng kaluskos mula sa masukal na parte nang kagubatan. Pinilit niyang tumayo para makatakbo kahit na alam niyang malabong mangyari iyon. She looked for something to defend herself but the only thing that is near hear were the dried leaves.
Oh, God!
She closed her eyes firmly as she heard the wild sound runs nearing her. Is it a boar?!
“Zoelle!”
Her eyes immediately open upon hearing the familiar voice of Erez Alterra.
He’s sweating a lot! She looked at his disheveled hair, then down to his arms. There were small cuts in it but his eyes look so worried and she didn’t understand it. Why? Why does he have that kind of expression in his beautiful eyes? She didn’t like it. It’s giving her unfamiliar feelings.
He walked towards her before embracing her with passion.
Because of that embrace, tears of sadness, frustration and devastation covered her eyes. She couldn’t even see properly because her tears were overflowing.
“I’m sorry. . . I’m sorry. . . Shhh. . . Calm down, I’m here. . .” Paulit-ulit nitong sinasabi habang hinahaplos-haplos ang kaniyang buhok.
Sonja didn’t break the embrace, she just cried and cried in his shoulder until she’s tired.
“Shhh. . . Calm down, we’re going home.” Marahang anito.
Binuhat siya ni Erez. Nanatili pa rin siyang nakayakap sa batok nito habang nakasubsob ang kaniyang mukha sa leeg nito.
