Amidst the Lies (Higuera Series #2)

Wakas

Wakas

I didn't realise, that day held the change of my life when I saw her delicate figure effortlessly shattered my vices, like petals falling gently from a flower. As I slowly went closer, her head lifted up making me stop from my steps. I clenched my fist as I saw her delicate face swollen from crying.

She resembled a fragile flower, delicate and in need of gentle nurturing to preserve her ethereal radiance and enduring elegance. Like a blossom in the morning dew, she blossomed under the tender touch of love and attention.

I know her, I've seen her somewhere, I just can't remember where.

Bumaba ang tingin ko sa pasa sa kanyang braso. Kumunot ang aking noo at agad kong naramdaman ang pag-alab ng galit sa aking dibdib.

"Do you know this young lady, over here!?" Pagalit na sabi ni mama sa akin.

Hindi ko nilingon si Mama at nanatili ang mata sa kanya. She pursed her lips and look down. Nahihiya titigan ako pabalik.

Once her eyes touched mine I rose from my seat a sudden adrenaline wash over my body.

"This will go down to one thing Asher! You stop it with your night outs and girls...you will take responsibility and marry this woman..."

I didn't object. I didn't say anything.

Each time I witness her tilting her head upward to embrace the sun's rays. She would look like a flower, blossoms under the touch of the sun, crafting a beauty reminiscent of a garden's allure.

I started to change my life

She dislikes the smell of alcohol, so I limit my consumption. She hated the scent of coffee, so I've never drunk it since. She enjoys strawberries and books. So I filled the shelves in her room with books. I keep track of what she dislikes and likes.

"Ash..." I heard her soft tone called my name.

"Ash..." And another.

Binuksan ko ang aking mata at agad bumungad ang kanyang mukha. She smiled softly at me.

"Pumasok na tayo sa loob. Gumagabi na."

She smells like fresh flowers, her hairs so soft, her cheeks a bit pinkish, her eyes moist and innocent, lips that curved into a beautiful smile never fails to make me liked her. She exudes an aura of warmth and kindness, making it impossible not to be drawn to her. Every time she walks into a room, my heart skips a beat and I find myself unable to look away. Her presence is like a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day, brightening up even the darkest moments. This girl is truly a sight to behold, and I am captivated by her beauty inside and out.

She raised her eyebrows, waiting for me to move.

Kahit ayaw ko mang umalis sa pagkakahiga sa kanyang kandungan pinilit ko ang sariling tumayo. Agad kong inalalayan ang kanyang mga kamay para makatayo siya. Even her figure is delicate.

She was full of secrets, I don't even know the basic information about her, her full name, or her birthday. I don't know all of it. She was a mystery wrapped in an enigma. Despite spending countless hours in her presence, I felt like I barely scratched the surface of who she really was. It was both frustrating and intriguing, like trying to solve a puzzle with missing pieces.

But I chose not to be noisy. Hinayaan ko siyang siya mismo ang magsasabi sa akin ng mga mahahalagang detalye yun.

"I'm sorry, I caused a scene..."

Huminga ako ng malalim. Nag aalab ang galit sa akin ng makita ang kayang kondisyon. Her face was extremely crimson, and a hand print was visible on her cheeks! Who would not be feral?!
