Taming the Emperor's cursed

05: Him

Pumasok ako sa loob ng kwarto ng tuliyan nang bumukas ng malaki ang pinto a creepy eek welcomed me in this room.

I looked around hoping i could see someone's here but looks like I'm fooling myself up the moment I step my foot on that mysterious room from my grandparents house I knew to myself there is somethings hidden behind those whispers.

Naglakad ako papasok sa loob ng malaking kwarto at masasabi kong malaki ito at malawak, it was like a room for a royal blood naka ayos ang mga gamit at ang mga bulaklak na kung titingnan mo parang alagang alaga dahil di man lang  ako nakakita ng nag kalat na nalaglag na petals or even leafs.

While busy admiring the interioof this room my eyesight landed to the bed. there's a king size bed in and the middle pero may itim na mosquito net na naka kabit sa higaan kaya di'ko makita ang nasa loob nito. I shifted my gaze from the bed to the balcony, mabilis naman akong naglakad papunta doon at hinila ang hawakan ng kurtina na tumatabon mula sa liwanag ng buwan sa labas ng kwarto.

Nilingon ko ulit ang higaan at doon ko nakita na may bulto ng tao na nakahiga. I walk slowly to the man's direction maingay ko ding tinabing ang mosquito net only to see a man with the ethereal beauty.

Then suddenly the butterfly flew to the man's direction while I was busy admiring his beauty. Bigla nalang din namang dumapo ang butterfly sa isang mini chandelier na nakakabit dito sa higaan maybe through the years kaya medyo bumaba na ito kaysa sa original position nito.

I looked at the man whose laying in his bed. i tried to wake him up by pushing him gently pero kahit anong gawin ko ay di naman siya gumigising. napatigil lang ako ng biglang tumunog ang mini chandelier na nasa higaan nito, adrenaline rush i tried pulling the guy in my side para hindi siya mahulugan. while pulling him a loud thunder echo in the whole place, kasabay ng malakas na kulog ang pagbagsak ng chandelier.

Nagulat ako sa kulog at ang biglang pagbagsak ng chandelier pasalamat nalang ako at nahila ko ang lalaking nakahiga sa gilid ng kama. inalis ko ang kamay ko sa tenga ko carefree I didn't notice the broken glass beside the man. Mabilis na umagos ang dugo ko dahil sa sugat i panic for having a lot of blood from this wound, I looked back at the man and to my horror some of my blood drops to his face and his mouth.

I turn around finding something that I can used to wipe those blood from his face pero wala akong mahanap kahit maliit na tela na malinis. I turn back again napaupo pa ako sa gulat nang makita na gising na ang lalaking akala ko ay patay na.

"Who are you, woman?" he said in his v
baritone voice.

I can't even speak to gave him the answer, he's looking at me intently which gave me the awkward vibe on thsi room. He sat down from the bed napatingin pa ito sa tabi ng kama niya kung saan bumagsak ang mini chandelier.

He suddenly look at me hawak ko parin ang kamay ko na may sugat he's gaze shifted from me to my bloody hands. May binulong pa ito bago tumayo ng tuluyan sa higaan. he walks towards me kaya napa atras pa ako dahil sa takot.

"Stop walking back woman." he said without any sign he held my hands and with an instant the blood on my hands fade away together with the wound.

The room filled out with the lights on his one snap and then he turned his back on me.

"What are you doing here?" he asked when we finally reach the entrance of the mansion.

I took a deep breath before I told him everything. from the secret door on my grand parents to the butterfly and the flowers and then i found the mansion.
