Moving Heaven for the Blue Moon

Prologue

Lakad-tabo akong lumayo sa lugar na ito. I need to get away from here - from him to be exact. I never thought that after 3 years, I will be finding myself running like a madman escaping from this shitty feeling again.

Natawa ako ng pagak. Shit! Again, why?! ALways?! I was hurt by the same fuckin' person for the same fuckin' reason!

Napatigil ako sa paglalakad ng mabilis nang may humablot sa braso ko and I was welcomed by my most favorite and at the same time hated face in my life. Like me, he looks like in pain. But huh! I know better than to trust what I am seeing.

"What, Jean?! Running away again?!"- Dustin said dangerously with narrowed eyes. I felt his grip on my left arm tightened.

"Can't blame me for always finding ways to get away from you, can you?!!"- I answered bravely as I tried freeing myself from him. I gathered all the strength I could muster even though deep inside I am breaking down to pieces.

"Hell you will!" -he is now grabbing both of my arms. "I was a fool to let you go 3 years ago! Do you actually think I will do the same mistake twice! YOU BETTER THINK AGAIN. SWEETIE"

"Why can't you?! As I remembered it, it was very easy for you to dispose of me then, why not do the same thing now!" -I keep on struggling at the same time stopping myself from crying. "Itinapon mo ako sa isang tabi! Tinaboy mo ako na parang may nakakahawang sakit noon! Hindi ba't pinagbintangan nyo pa ako sa isang bagay na hindi ko kailanman magagawa sayo! Ano ngayo't pinipigilan mo akong lumayo!" - I gave up fighting at napaupo na lang ako sa kalsada sa pagod. I'm tired.

Naramdaman kong lumawag ang hawak nya sa akin but not enough na para makawala ako.

"That is why I am trying my utmost best to make it up to you, Jean. I am trying my best to win back not only your heart but your trust as well. Naiintindihan ko kung hindi mo ako agad mapatawad dahil hindi naman talaga maliit na bagay ang kasalanan ko. And I swear to heaven that I will not stop until you genuinely do. I am willing to move even the sky above so I can finally make you realized that I am STILL the right one for you" - Dustin sat along me still holding me close.

Natawa ako ng hungkag.

"You, the right man for me?!" - I asked sarcastically."HAHAHAHAHA! Any man will do, Dustin. ANYONE BUT YOU!!"

Anger and pain crossed his face once again but it was immediately gone even I doubted if I saw it right. Matiim nya akong tinitigan. Once again, his grip on my arms tightened and he drew me closer to him. Ayoko man aminin, I felt scared that moment.

He smiled sardonically," Haven't you heard, SWEETIE? ONCE MINE, ALWAYS MINE!".

And before I knew it, his lips are next to mine as if sealing a promise.
