CHAPTER 14.

LUXU'S POV

I watched her walked away from the room, leaving me behind. I want to chase her but I can't.

I think this is for the best. For her to be safe from the danger ahead of us. This is where it will begin.

This is where it will be dangerous for her. I grabbed the logbook then read all of the new names that are written there.

Most of the names that are here are from the people that I raped and killed. I know that they will be mad at me and I know that if they saw me being with her, they will hurt her too.

I know that I gave her the bracelet for her to have protection but I want to guarantee her safety. That's why I have to push her away from me.

Even if I know that I will be away from the little lady that I love. The little lady that I want to be with for the rest of my life.

"Mukha kang tanga diyan, bugok." I didn't look at him. I ignore him. I don't want to waste my precious time at the likes of him.

"Hoy! 'Wag ka namang umalis, bugok!" He said then I slapped his hands away from me. No one can touch me except her.

"What the hell do you want, Deathra? Stop wasting time." I said. He sighed then sit down to the nearest chair from him.

"Ethra ang pangalan ko. Pero sa tingin mo, tama 'yung ginawa mo?" He asked. I sighed then sit down again from the window.

"Sa tingin mo ba ay mas ligtas siya kung hindi ka niya kasama? Kung itutulak mo siya palayo?" He asked again. I didn't answered him.

"Alam mong mas delikado ang lahat kung hindi ka niya kasama, Luxu. Maraming masasamang espirito diyan na naghihintay ng pagkakataon na atakihin siya." He said again.

"What do you want me to do? Stay with her even though I know that I'm falling for her. You know that it's against the law." I said.

"Ayun! Sa wakas, sinabi mo rin 'yung totoong dahilan. Bakit ba takot na takot ka? Bakit naman kaming dalawa ni Justice? Pinaglaban namin 'yung relasyon namin pero bakit ikaw hindi mo kayang gawin?"

"Because I don't know how, Ethra. This is the first time. This is the first time that I learned that I have the heart to love someone." I told him.

"Lahat naman tayo kayang magmahal eh. Nasa atin nga lang kung paglalaban ba natin o hindi." He said then started to walk away.

Before he reaches out for the door he stopped and look at me. "Sa tingin mo, bakit kaya nila tayo pinaparusahan kahit na pwede namang impyerno o langit agad ang ikabagsak natin?" He asked.

"Binigyan nila tayo ng isa pang pagkakataon para mabuhay, para makabawi. Alam mo kung bakit?" He looked back at me.

"Para malaman pa natin kung ano ang mga bagay na kaya pa nating gawin. Na kaya pa nating maramdaman. Kung ako sa'yo, ipaglalaban ko 'yan. Kesa naman sa magsisi ka sa huli nang dahil sa hinayaan mo siyang mawala sa'yo." After he said that, he went away.

"Alam mo? May point siya, Luxu." I looked at his direction and I saw Blake. He looks sad and worried.

"'Wag mong hintayin na mawala siya sa'yo. 'Wag mo kong gayahin, bata. I lost her before I got the chance to tell her about how I feel." He said.

"I lost her, sa harap ko pa mismo Luxu. 'Wag mong hintayin na mapunta pa kayong dalawa do'n. Kung hindi, ikaw lang din ang masasaktan sa huli." He added.

"Masakit man na makita mo siyang nasasaktan pero mas masakit 'pag nakita mo na unti-unti na siyang nawawala sa'yo." He said then again then look at the window.

I looked at the direction that he's looking at and I saw her. I saw Kimmy - his first and greatest love.

"Napakaganda niya diba? Sayang. Hindi siya magiging akin kahit na gusto ko. Gusto kong bumawi pero hindi pwede." He said sadly.

"'Wag mo nang ipaabot sa ganito ang lahat, bata. Go. Habulin mo. Sige ka. Baka iwan ka niya talaga." He said then he pushed out of the room.

~~

I'm here on the roof staring at her. I am at the roof of her neighbor. While sitting on the roof I remember what happened this morning.

~~

While pretending to be sleeping I felt that she moved beside me. I am waiting for her next move for her not to know that I'm only pretending to be asleep.

"Parang nahulog na ata ako sa'yo nang hindi ko napapansin." She whispered. I felt that my heartbeat beats faster than normal.

Then she did something so unexpected. She kissed me on my lips. It's only a smack but it's still a kiss.

She stood up from her bed and I am still shock because of what she did.

~~

How am I going to approach her now? I want that kiss again. But it's rude to ask her to kiss me again.

I think I should stare at her first before I made a new move towards her. I should prepare myself first from her hatred or something.
