23 - The stars were hooked

Cephues POV

Have you ever felt burdened by guilt for a sin you never committed?

Have you ever felt so lost within yourself that you couldn't control your actions?

I am lost. I am in an abyss, seeing nothing but a thick fog amidst the darkness.

I hear the cries of a woman pleading for help.

Alongside this is the repeated voice of a young girl.

When I turn around, I see only one thing.

A faceless woman, staring at me as if reaching out to me.

Above her stands a young girl with a knife, repeatedly stabbing the defenseless woman.

"Die!! Die!!" she screams until the woman breathes her last. As the girl stands up, she faces me.

But instead of fear, I feel immense relief. It's as if a heavy burden has been lifted from my heart. I feel safe.

As the girl approaches me, she calls out.

"Cephues," she reaches out her hand for me to hold, but before I can, she vanishes completely.

"Cephues," even though she has disappeared, her voice continues to echo in my ears. I look around, hoping to see her again.

"Love!" I suddenly wake up from an incomprehensible dream. The look of Hyacinth was the first thing I saw. Standing right in front of me with the sunlight peeking through my window, emphasizing her beauty

A dream that felt as if it truly happened.

It felt so real.

It felt like it had really occurred.

"Just a kiss"

"No"

"A peck"

"We're at school"

"Just on the cheek"

"I said no"

"Urgh! I hate you!!" Reklamo nitong si Hyacinth saka lumabas ng kotse. She even slammed the door which caught me off guard.

Hindi naman ako makapaniwalang nakatitig sa kanya habang palapit siya sa mga kaibigan niyang ang gara ng pormahan.

Today is our Foundation day, mga naka casual clothes ang mga students kaya itong si Hyacinth ay mahiyang ginawang red carpet ang entrance ng school building.

She's wearing white silk long sleeve polo with the black tube vest top hugging her curves perfectly, a white silk trouser and black 3 inch T-strap heels.

She didn't tie up her hair, instead, she straightened it and oh god, she's drop-dead gorgeous.

Kaya nga pinagtitinginan siya ng mga students ngayon. Ako? I'm wearing a much simpler outfit.
