Dancing in the Middle of Flames

CHAPTER 38

Tapos na kaming Kumain at nauna na ako rito na pumasok sa kwarto. Agad akong nagbihis nang pantulog at sinuot ko yung silk robe.

Pagkatapos ko na magpalit nang pantulog ay napaupo sa kama at maya'maya ay pumasok si Hellios.

Agad na nadako ang tingin ko sakanya at agad itong lumapit sakin at nagulat nalang ako nang lumuhod ito sa harap ko at nakatingin lamang ito sa aking mga heta.

Dahan'dahan niyang binuka ang aking heta at lumapit pa siya lalo at nagulat nalang ako nang umupo siya sa sahig at nilapat niya ang kanyang ulo sa aking heta habang nakayakap ang kanyang mga braso saking bente.

"Hellios?".

"Hmm, what is it my love?".

"Maari ko bang malaman kung keilan mo naramdaman na mahal mo ako?". Lakas loob kung tanong.

"Since the first day I've laid my eyes on you". He instantly replied. That was quick.

"But we've first met in the forest in our tribe". Sabi ko dahil naalala ko na doon kami unang nagkita sa pangalawa kong buhay na ito.

Naramdaman ko ang kanyang paghimas sa aking binti. "That wasn't the first time I've saw you, Cassandria".

"What do you mean?". Pagtatakang tanong ko.

"I've first saw you when I was just a kid". Nagulat ako sa kanyang sinabi. Kung ganun bata palang ako ay kanya na akong nakita?.

"Have you ever remember when you first enter the palace with Noble Lord Argus?". He ask. And I remember that time.

"Yes, I do remember that time".

"When you first enter the palace gate, I've saw you right in the window of the Emperor's room, we were playing that time and I happened to look outside the window and then I saw you walking out from the carriage with Noble Lord Argus". I was very stunned by the moment he told me when he first laid his eyes on me.

"Kung ganun, matagal mona talaga pala akong kilala". Tugon ko.

"Yes, Cassandria my love....when I've laid my eyes on you I knew that you were the girl meant for me". Sweet tone of his voice, and my face blush.

He slowly lifted his head and look right into my eyes. "I have something that belongs to you". He slowly stood up and walk towards the drawer and grab a small white box.

I was curious what was inside the box he was holding. I'am really curious what he has that belongs to me.

Agad siyang naglakad pabalik sakin at tumabi sakin sa pagkaka'upo.

He handed me the box. "See for yourself".

Kinakabahan ako habang nakahawak sa box kaya naman ay dahan'dahan ko itong binuksan at nanlaki ang aking mga mata nang makita ko ang laman nito.

"T-this". My heart started to race. "This rainbow pear bracelet was mine".

Ito yung bracelet na ginawa ko talaga sa sarili kung mga kamay dahil nais ko na sa pamamagitan nito ay makilala ko ang lalaking papakasalan ko paglaki ko.

Flashback .......

Habang nagliliwaliw ako malapit sa harden ay may napansin akong malaking bato katabi nang mga gnomes sculpture.

Napansin ko rin na may maliit na butas sa bato kaya ay agad ko na kinuha mula saking dalang pouch yung ginawa kung rainbow pearl bracelet.

I smiled while looking at it. "I wished that the person who will see this bracelet will be the person I'll marry when I grew up, and we will lived happily ever after".
