Beautiful Monster

"Should I break his bones for you?"

Napaangat ang ulo ko ng sabihin niya 'yon. Yakap yakap ko pa rin ang dalawang hita ko sa sobrang takot. My eyes are still in tears and my shoulders are still shaking. I'm still scared.

I stared at his eyes. It's not the innocent eyes I've always admired. By looking through his eyes, it's not him. "Who are you?" I bit my lower lip. Pangilang beses ko na siguro 'yang natatanong sa kanya. Pero sa ilang beses na 'yon, wala akong natanggap na sagot. Ifelt it's not him anymore.

Dahan dahan siyang lumapit sa 'kin at niyakap ako. That made me sobbed more. Sometimes, I get scared of him because of his gaze. When he's mad, his eyes are turning into something else. Something that is strange to me and I'm doubting if he's really the guy I've been with this whole time.

I hugged him back. Siya ang agad kong pinuntahan. I was scared to death and my only safe haven is him. He tightened his embrace that made me feel secured and safe on his arms. "I told you... I can do everything for you." Marahan kong pinikit ang dalawa kong mata at patuloy pa din sa pag-agos ang aking mga luha.

Humiwalay siya sa pagkakayakap sa 'kin, "Who did this to you?" I shook my head. He gritted his teeth and I can see that he's just holding back his anger. I don't want to tell him. If I tell him I know that someone will be in danger and my conscience will never let me sleep.

I cleared my throat, "Who are you? What are you?" This is the second time I see his dark side. Every day I asked myself. What happened to him? What is wrong with him? What's wrong with his eyes? His innocent eyes that attracted me turned into a monstrous eyes.

He held my hand and squeezed it, "I'm afraid you'll leave me if you find out." My eyes went down to his lips. And before I knew it, he pulled me in for a kiss. I kissed him back and he snaked his arms around my waist.

I love him. But, I'm bad for him. I turned him into a monster. This is not the love I want.

I broke the kiss and leaned my forehead to his, "You think I'll leave?"

He nodded his head, "I think you'll run away if you find out what's inside me."

She's Irene Desylvia whose sweet words are deadly bullets to his heart, kisses him that take his breath away, heals his broken parts, keeps drifting into his mind, give butterflies, his bones that turns to ice whenever they lock eyes, love her flaws, the only thing he wanna touch, embraced every part of her and made him lose himself trying not to lose her.
