Darkness Holding The Light

DHTL 8

***Flosuel Lehmann***
That man is impossible, he never know how much I nervous when he took away my girl in this place without my consent. The impatience and grief grew in my heart because I don't know where is the hidden place. My eyes turned red and I closed my fist with frustration. I shouted for many times that growled in thunder of my hostility. My breath is like a smoke that poisons in the human who will come close to me.
I ran as fast as I could and search her everywhere. I almost dig up the ground.
"Where are you?!" I uttered
"Argh!" I punched the ground. I never thought anything but a curse of anger "You know I'm crazy for you but why don't you listen to me? I want to hide you from them so I don't want you to intervene!"
I felt the negative energy comes out of me. I felt the hunger of killing but I shook my head to control myself.
"Not now please" I tried to calm down.
I didn't stop to search her until sunrise, hoping for I can see her. I clenched my fist with frustration it feels like I am responsible to her loss.
" I guess there's no other way " I change my mind into horrible choice.
I went to the city where no one could see. I'm standing on the top of the light house watching the little figures walking in a dark shaddow. I raised my hand then I wave to the right. The little figures stopped then they all look at me.
In one snap I'm standing at the back of them "May I mind to join?" I asked in a sweet tone yet dangerous.
"Do what you want Mister just don't intervene" he warned
"Yeah sure then" I composed "Just don't asked me because I'm the one who will ask or else I will cut the block around us for you all disappear. Got it my friend?"
"I will braggart"
"Do I look like braggart? Don't be judgemental" I laugh sarcastically
We are walking along the waves of the leaves. Feeling each others tension and I smell untrustworthy to this little stupid creatures. We enter in the portal cave which is their hideout. The portal has a bright light.
"Can I go now?"
"Go ahead bad guy in disguise"
"I said don't be judgemental" I said in a sweet yet warning tone
"Cut your mouth" the leader said
"Tss--"
"Oops don't use that expression to me because I hate that so much. It makes me want to stop the life of the one who said it"
He remain silent and I guess he understand for what I implying. I enter the portal, this is the horrible choice. Between us I'm always sacrifice so that she will stay beside me. I don't know what will happen after this. I did everything to stop the destiny which it gonna happen but I failed. I wish I will stay longer like normal people do and I can say we meant to be. It is always happen in wishes that even if simple or complicated it will end up in disappointment and yes I am disappointed.
I fight for many hours.Wait for me please I will find you I promise. The monstrous myth attacked me when everything went black. I open my hand and the thorn stems become weapon. I kept close my eyes to remember, a matter of inspiration. I saw her plain and average face with a half smiled. Her genuine smile made me strong.
After an hour my body seep out of the portal and then I saw her. I am not mistaken she's really here then who among us has the higher instinct Axis you will never be loophole me arrogant hunter. I carry her like a princess well she's my princess and soon to be my queen. We went home. I come close to her and I gently touched her face.
"Sleep with a sweet dreams my sweetie.Better tomorrow for us" I whispered
I slept beside her then I hugged her tightly. The next morning I woke up. I prepared breakfast for her. I don't even know her favorite food.
"Help me!!!!!!"
I crashed towards the bedroom. I saw her trembling and convulsion. I held her hand.
"Jocine wake up you have a bad dream" I calmly said but still it won't work so I kissed her to stop her then she woke up.
"You...you" she gesture her hands referring to what I did
"It will heal remember?"
She nod that she understand
"I can't understand why your kisses is healing the sick, it's kinda awkward"
"For me it's not awkward"
"Paano kung lalaki?"
"No, I can't heal the boys"
"Ganoon, may exception. Kung ganoon kahit anong babae mapapagaling mo ng halik" I smell jealousy
"Don't be jealous you're my first and last I want to heal"
"Nahulaan mo na nagseselos ako" bulong ko
"Why are you jealous?"
"Ewan basta nagseselos ako"
"I think you are falling for me"
"Ewan kasi process of confusion pa ako pero kahit ano man mangyari sa naramdamam ko wag kang masasaktan kasi parang mahal ko pa rin si Zetroid"
She mention his name. Ah that cold man, he's a stubborn and a hardest cold emotion to notice my beloved's feelings. I hate him for treating her as a useless trash. He didn't even care for her so I don't understand why she loves him so much. What is in that guy that I don't have? I am sweet, handsome, and nice guy. Every girls get easily in love in the serious cold guy but in the end they always hope to notice by the guy even they know sometimes that kind of a guy will made them hurt. It's truly love is blind, a foolish in love related quote.
"I have a question why are the girls falling in love in the cold guy?" I asked
"Maybe because they become sweet if the guy falling in love to a girl" she answered
"Actually 1% chance will happen"
"Ang liit ng chance grr ano ba! kanina pa tayo English ng English dudugo na ang ilong ko sa kakaisip. Ipahinga mo muna ako"
"Ok I'll go ahead to take your food and by the way your explanation is not convincing" I said then I go down.
I heard her mind in a long distance
'Anong gusto niya na paliwanag? Tama naman di ba?'
'Kung sasabihin ko lahat baka magtatanong ulit siya baka di ko na masagot'
'Inlove na nga ba ako sa kanya? Sana nga ayoko ng maging hopia one sided love, sampung beses nangyari sakin yun'
10 times one sided love, just who the boys are.They don't know how special she is.
'Ang unfair ko ba? Ang sweet niya pero ako puro problema ang dala ko sa kanya. Sana siya na lang madali naman siyang mahalin'
I smiled to her thought, she choose to learn to love me. I'm going up in the bedroom while carrying the food. I entered her room then I placed to her. I kiss her cheek.
"Ah.. salamat" she pick up the fork "Aray! Ang sakit ng kamay ko" her eyes getting wet
"Susubuan na lang kita"
"Ah wag na! kaya ko na ito" she waved her hand "Ang sakit talaga" she hissed
"I insist" I took the spoon with a food then I let her to eat
"Paano ba kita pasasalamatan?"
"Ipagpatuloy mo lang ang nararamdaman mo sa akin masaya na ako"
"Mahal kita"
I looked at her to confirm if she said it
"Hindi ko alam ang nararamdaman ko pero iba iba kasi ang love parang world wide web stay connected"
"You're so special to me. You're more than of my everything . The word most important is not enough to describe how much you mean to me"
"Thank you na minahal ko Thank! you Thank you!" she hugged me tightly
"Ikaw lang nagmahal sa akin ng ganito na tila panaginip lang sa iba at bihira mangyari ito"
"Nag-iisa ka lang sa mundong ito kaya madali kang mahalin" I sincerely said
We separate from hug. I grabbed the thing in my pocket.
"When he reject your love say yes to my proposal I will heal your emptiness. Marry me Jocine"
"But if not"
"You will never see me"
"Yes I will marry you"
I smiled in very excitement "A temporary yes" I give her ring "Keep it and wear this if you are ready" I sweetly said
"Lagi kang nauuna kaya gusto ko ako naman"
She kissed me
Next morning we went school with holding crossed hands. She's happily telling the story she don't mind about what happen in the party.
"I will participate in the chess master contest"
"Participate teka anong okasyon ngayon?" she asked
"Sports Fest"
"Hindi ako nakapaghanda ng cheering"
"Haha in chess competition the players need a peace place for them to concentrate so they don't need to have a cheer" I explained, she's cute and silly.
"Pero gustung-gusto kong i-cheer ka" she pouted
I bend "Kiss me in the cheek" I request then she kiss me in a couple of minutes
"You're my lucky charm" I winked then she blushed
"Sige Keep it up Good luck" she thumbs up
I went to the building. This is my happiest day of my life. I never this happy ever in my entire life. From the bottom of my heart I will live longer to be beside her.
***Jocine Velasquez***
Pumasok ako sa classroom na may ngiti sa labi. Ang ganda ng araw ko. Gusto ko ng umuwi, ang sama ko namang estudyante. Umupo ako sa arm chair. Nakita ko ang ballpen na may nakapulupot na papel. Nakasulat doon ng 'Say your name'.
"Jo--"
"My friend come with me" seryosong sabi ni Lucia sabay hatak sa akin.
Pumunta kaming garden "Stay away from Flosuel he's mysteriously dangerous" bungad niya sa akin
"Natatakot ako sa request mo sorry di ko kayang iwan siya"
"What? Are you already fall for him?" nagagalit na sabi niya
"Masisisi mo ba ako bihira lang ang ganito. Ikaw may pag-asa kang magustuhan tapos ako wala please Lucia bigyan mo ako ng chance na maging masaya"
"What're you talking about? We're just the same longing for love. Look I falling in love to Zetroid but look at me he never love me back"
"Ngunit may pag-asa ka matalino, mayaman, maganda at nasa sayo na ang lahat samantalang ako pangit, dukha, bobo at nasa sa akin na ang pinakaayaw ng lalaki"
"But you are human and I am a vampire it is limited to choose my man but you are so much guys to choose"
"Nag-iisa lang lalaki si Flosuel na nagmamahal sa akin ng ganito so please hayaan mo na kami" sigaw ko at umalis ako na umiiyak
Buti pa siya isang beses nabroken hearted eh ako maraming lalaki ang nanakit sa akin. Si Flosuel ang nag-iisang nagmamahal sa akin. Masisisi ba nila ako? Siya lang talaga wala ng ibang lalaki magmamahal sa akin ng ganito as in wala ng iba kung baga limited edition. Tumigil ako sa pag-iyak nang nakatitig sa akin si Zetroid.
"Harang ka sa daan" sungit niya
"Pwedeng sa iba ka na lang dumaan bad mood ako ngayon" pakiusap ko
"Are you commanding me?" pagtataray niya sa akin
"Oo! Bakit may problema?!" tumayo ako at tinulak siya pero dahil sa bampira siya di siya natinag
"Hard headed idiot girl" bigla niya akong binuhat nakatitig ako habang ginawa niya parang nag-slow motion pagkatapos ay pumasok na siya. Ang bilis ng pangyayari. Naiinis ako sapagkat confused ako kung sino ba talaga?!

***Cheryl Aster***

Gumising ako sa tunog ng tubig na bumubuhos di kalayuan sa akin. Bumangon ako at ginagala ang tingin sa paligid. Isang portal na daan para nakalabas dito. Lumabas ako sa portal walang pakialam ang mga pangit na nilalang dahil sa isang kumpas ko mawawala agad sila. Napadpad ako sa ilog. Mabilis akong nagteleport sa eskwelahan. Nakita ko agad si Ax na naglalakad sa gitna ng ground. Mabilis akong lumapit sa kanya at saka binatukan sa ulo.
"Salamat sa pagkulong mo sa akin doon"
"Bakit ka umalis?! Masyadong delikado! Teka kasama mo ba si Jocine?"
"Nalilito ako kung ano ang isasagot ko yung una o ikalawa"
"Sagutin mo na lang!"
"Umalis ako dahil may dapat akong gawin. Si Jocine wala siya doon"
"Alam ko na kung sino ang kumuha sa kanya nagkamali ako sa kakayahan niya. Nga pala yung"
"Ayoko siyang harapin ilayo mo siya sa akin" hindi pwedeng magsama kami
"Lakas ng tama mo ah"

***Jocine Velasquez***
Lumalakad ako sa corridor papuntang room nang may humarang sa akin
"Samahan mo muna ako sa gym" sabi ng babae "Cheryl Aster pala"
"Ikaw yung pumunta sa room tapos sino yung kasama mo nun?"
"Emge Peridot Aster ang pinsan ko" sagot niya pagkatapos ay hinila niya ako papuntang gym.
Nakita kong naglalaro ng basketball si Zetroid at Axis. Magaling si Zetroid mag-shoot walang palya sakto talaga. Heto naman ako sa ilusyon ko na kumikinang ang paligid at nakangiti sa akin. Buong laro siya lang ang tinitingnan ko. Nakangiti akong mag-isa at todo cheer sa kanya, mas maingay pa ako sa mga katabi ko. Natatawa si Cheryl sa pinanggagawa ko.
"Ipagpatuloy mo ang katangahan na yan siguradong mapapansin ka" insulto niya kaya napikon ako at siniko ko siya ng malakas.
"Weakling" she smirked
"Tumahimik ka" utos ko
"Kung itinigil mo ang ilusyon mo siguradong magiging masaya ka. Wag ka ng tumulad kay Axis na alam ng walang pag-asa umaasa pa rin"
"Ano ba Cheryl tumahimik ka na! Ang ganda ganda ng laro o" reklamo ko
"Maganda ang laro kasi nandyan si Zetroid Fei Hilton ang suplado tarantadong hayop na bampira"
"Don't cuss!" tumingin ako sa orasan ng school "Naku! Nagsimula na pala"
"Hindi ka lang one sided love two timer ka rin" pang-aasar na sabi niya
"Palibhasa kasi wala kang lovelife! Aalis na ako" pagtataray ko
"Di kailangan ng lovelife para maging masaya tandaan mo yan"
Nagmadali akong pumunta sa building. Sumilip ako sa room na nakita ko ang istriktong namamahala sa chess. Nagdahan-dahan akong lumapit sa table ni Flosuel. Napanganga ako sa galing niya. Tumatama pa galing sa labas ang sikat ng araw nasa bintana kasi ang pwesto nila. Para tuloy siyang kumikinang. Tinitigan ko siya ng matagal. Kulay pula ang labi, sobrang puti ng balat, kulay asul ang mga mata at dark brown ang buhok.
"Go Flosuel!" bulong ko
"Check" sabi niya nacorner niya ang kalaban
"Ang galing mo Flosuel!!!!!" napataas ang boses ko. Lagot! Napansin ako ng lahat lalapit na sa akin ang namamahala. Nanliliksik na siya sa galit.
"Congrats you win" hindi niya napansin ang pagbati ng kalaban "Hey!" paghampas niya sa balikat ni Flosuel kaya natauhan siya "Ah thanks. I gotta go" lumapit siya sa akin bago pa ako hawakan ng namamahala.
"Goodbye officer" ngiti niya
"Wait!" pagpigil ng officer pero hindi maawat siya kaya hinila niya ako palabas.
Gumagabi na nang tumingin ako sa langit.
"Alam mo dati pinapangarap ko na makita ang meteor" panimula ko
"Ganoon ba gusto mo makakita ngayon"
"Wag na nakita ko na kasi ang meteor ko" tumingin ako sa kanya ng nakangiti bumaba ang tingin ko nang tumingin din siya sa akin "Ikaw yun" namumulang sabi ko
"Tumingin ka"
Sinunod ko naman siya "This" hinagis niya sa ere "will become meteor"
"Oh my gosh" napatakip ako ng bibig naging meteor nga with a twist of rose petals. Tiningnan namin ng matagal yun.
"My dreams come true with you"
"Ha?" bago pa ako makapagsalita hinalikan niya ako ng madiin at puno ng pagmamahal.
Humiwalay kami "Such a beautiful day for us. A night of felicity" bigkas niya
