Illicit Love

Wakas

Solanna's

I'm looking at the sun that slowly drowning unto the glisting tangerine ocean, it's quite peaceful to be here again on Island of Siapar.

"What are you thinking?" I heared my wife's voice at my back.

Her warm hands slowly encircling my waist that made me smile in contentment, I can feel my heart racing again as always whenever she's around.

It's been years since we got married, I can't still believed that my long time crush is now my wife. Yes, you read it. The memories of yesterday is still vivid in my mind, how I suddenly saw her one time when ate Ana bring her into our house before. She's still a kid that time, mybe 7 years old? And I was just a 10 years old kid. I closed my eyes feeling her warmth behind me while the cold sea breeze blows on both of us from here on the balcony of our room.

One morning I was walking on the pathway of our house when I saw a girl from afar with ate Ana, one of our maid here. The wall of our living room is made of glass, so we can see the outside from here.

The girl was shy yet cute, one thing that caught my attention is her eyes. It's too innocent that uou can be lost of the way she stares at you. It's too soft and gentle, I wanna keep them forever.

She' gripping ate Anna's shirt while looking around, I tilted my head as I studied her every actions. My heart beats fast when her eyes went into my direction, I don't know if she notice me here because it's too dark where I was standing.

I wanna go there and ask her name, there's something inside me that's pulling me to go there and say hello to this girl, but I can't. My Mom and Dad doesn't like us to go around and play with the other kids, they just want us to stay at home and study.

I stopped looking at her when I heard my Mommy's voice behind me, my heart bump loudly again whenever I'm hearing her stern voice. She's kinda strict towards us.

"Solanna, why aren't you still going in the study room?"

"A-Ah I'm on my way, Mom" I said in a little tone of voice.

She was about to say something when we heared Ate Ana's voice calling my mother's name.

"Ma'am Claudiana"

I quickly walked to the study room, but before I could enter I turned again to see where Mommy was.

And there she is, my heart is suddenly skip when I saw how her eyes glow in amazement, I can't move my body. All of my attention is on her face, she's so gorgeous with those close set eyes.

I can't understand what I am feeling right now, I'm just a 10 year old gal but why do I'm feeling this strange feeling?

Days passed, she didn't come back anymore. I always wanting to see her again, I don't have the courage to ask ate Ana for her name. I'm always waiting every time ate Ana's coming back from her off, just in case she's with the girl again.

But more years had passed again, she didn't came back. I'm almost loose my hope, but then how can the destiny play right?

"Ate Selma, who's the girl with you earlier?"

I tried to act normal asking ate Selma for her name, even my heart is beating fo fast again like the way it used to be.

"Ah iyong bagong kasama natin ba? Si Zariah iyon, galing kabilang bayan, siya iyong kapalit ni ate Ana mo"

Zariah, what a beautiful name like her. After that day, I tried to find her social but sadly she doesn't have one. But why she doesn't have one, how can I stalk her? People are using social media right now, I got annoyed by that but then again I felt relief because atleast she doesn't have one, no one will notice or known her.
