NAKAHAWAK siya sa damit ng binata habang naglalakad papasok sa Cave. Kanina niya pa pinipikit ang mata niya habang naglalakad sila. Paano ba naman kasi siya hindi matatakot kung ikaw ba makakita ng mukha ng uso na parang kinatay. Tapos may mga white ladies pa. Hindi naman kasi siya na inform na hunted cave pala ang napasok nila. Nakakabwesit.

"Hey. Open your eyes Darling." Umiling siya rito at nanatiling nakapikit.

"YB (E-B) Open them or else you'll miss this one." Umiling siya rito. Naramdaman niyang hinawakan siya ng binata sa balikat.

"Open them Darling or else.." Pabitin nitong sabi sakanya at bumulong.

"I'll kiss that ravishing kissable red lips of yours." Napamulat siya ng wala sa oras sa sinabi ng binata.

"A-akala ko hindi ka magtetake-advantage sa akin?" Natawa ito sa sinabi niya at ginulo ang buhok niya bago ito umalis sa harapan niya. Halos mahulog ang panga niya sa nakita. Para siyang pumasok sa rainbow house. Ang ganda kumikintab nga ang mga bato sa loob at may malalaki o maliliit na rainbows. At ang maganda doon makikita mo na may butas sa itaas ng cave na nagbibigaw ilaw sa loob at nagiging dahilan ng pagiging romantic ng Cave.

Idagdag pa na parang may tumutugtog. It was so refreshing music. Ang sarap pakinggan sa tenga. Napapikit siya habang nakikinig ng magsalita si Zeev sa likuran niya.

"Let's go para maabutan natin ang pagkintab ng Bewitching River. Tapos lalabas tayo rito daan muna tayo sa Romantic Forest papunta sa Enchanting Falls at lalabas tayo mula sa Magical Cage." Tumango siya rito at tinignan ang oras. Magse-seven na pala. Malalaki ang hakbang nilang dalawa palabas ng Cave. Agad sumalubong sakanya ang malamig na simoy ng hangin na nagpatindig sa kanyang balahibo.

Sa pagmulat ng kanyang mata agad niyang nakita ang Bewitching River. Para itong isang napakalaking salamin. Dahil sa tumatama ang ilaw nito sa tubig na nagpapakintab rito. Para siyang nahipnotismo sa ganda nito. Napangiti na lang siya sa naisip. Bakit nga ba nabigla pa siya eh pangalan pa nga lang e. Bewitching means to attract or delight someone in a way that seems magical. It attracts her because it seems magical and a delightful thing to her.

"Like what you see?" Tumango siya rito habang nakatingin parin sa ilog.

"I don't like it but I love it." Lumapit siya sa isang malaking bato at umupo sa ibabaw nito. Naramdaman naman niyang sumunod rin sakanya ang binata. Nang makaupo ito sa tabi niya ay inihilig niya agad ang ulo niya sa balikat nito. She feel him stilled but she didn't care. She want them to stay like this for a moment.

"A-ahm O-okay ka lang?" Tanong nito sakanya.

"Can you sing?" Instead of saying yes she just asked him a question.

"Y-yeah."

"Can you sing for me?" Tanong niya rito. Naramdaman niyang umayos ito ng upo kaya umayos rin siya ng upo bago humilig ulit sa balikat nito.

"Okay." Narinig niyang bumuntong hininga ito at narinig na niya itong kumanta sa malamig na boses.

Don’t think of anything
Don’t say anything, not even a word
Just give me a smile

I still can’t believe it
All of this seems like a dream
Don’t try to disappear

It's really like a dream that she didn't feel like its true. She feel like she's just dreaming. She feel like someone is going to disappear.

Is it true Is it true
You You
You’re so beautiful, that I’m scared
Untrue Untrue
You You You

Will you stay by my side
Will you promise me
If I let go of your hand, you’ll fly away and break
I’m scared scared scared of that

Will you stop time
If this moment passes
As though it hadn’t happened
I’m scared scared scared I’ll lose you

Butterfly like a Butterfly
Just like a Butterfly bu butterfly
Butterfly like a butterfly
Just like a Butterfly bu butterfly

You’re just like a Butterfly
From afar, I steal glances; if we touch hands, will I lose you?
You shine in this pitch darkness that is the butterfly effect
Your light touches, I forget the reality at once

She wan the time to stops and stay like this for a while.  She's scared that this moment of silence, no problem will pass and never happened again. She's scared. She's scared that she might lose him. But she feel weird towards him. When Zygmunt and her enter the room she feel like she lose something. But what's the weirdest thing is she feel free and complete with Zeev. And that's scare her. She's scared of what she feel towards him. Kakakilala lang nila pero may weird na siyang nararamdaman na dapat kay Zyg niya lang nararamdaman.

Parang sa kunting panahon nakulong siya sa mundo ng hindi makatutuhanan. Sa mundo kung saan parang pantasya lang ang lahat.

It’s like a wind that gently strokes me
It’s like a dust that gently drifts along
You’re there but for some reason, I can’t reach you, stop
You, who’s like a dream is a butterfly high to me

Untrue Untrue
You You You

Will you stay by my side
Will you promise me
If I let go of your hand, you’ll fly away and break
I’m scared scared scared of that

Will you stop time
If this moment passes
As though it hadn’t happened
I’m scared scared scared I’ll lose you

The small pieces guttered down darkly
From my heart, a barren noise
I don’t know if this is reality or a dream
My Kafka on the seaside
Don’t go to those woods over there
My heart is still shattering on you
(I just wanted to vaporize like this)
My love that is forever
It’s all FREE for you baby

Will you stay by my side
Will you promise me
If I let go of your hand, you’ll fly away and break
I’m scared scared scared of that

Will you stop time
If this moment passes
As though it hadn’t happened
I’m scared scared scared I’ll lose you

Butterfly like a Butterfly
Just like a Butterfly bu butterfly
Butterfly like a butterfly
Just like a Butterfly bu butterfly

Hinayaan niyang matapos ang pagkanta ng binata na nakahilig parin sa balikat nito. She close her eyes and imagine all things that she and Zyg do.

She can't forget everything and will never be. She like how he cares and show his affection towards her. But it's slowly fading now and its scares her.

"Do you believe in things that unexpectedly happen?" Tumango siya.

"Do you believe that sometime both twins are in love with one person?" Napaangat siya ng tingin sa binata.

"Anong ibig mung sabihin may kapatid ka ba?" Tumango ito sakanya at mapait na ngumiti.

"I have. He is the person I hold dearly but I can't give everything to him that easily. Specially her. She's the one who I really love. Siya na lang ang isa sa mga pinakakaingatan at pinakakamahal ko. Pero nalilito parin ako." Tumingin ito sakanya.

"Do you think I will give her up to my brother or I will fight for her?" Parang may kumirot sa puso niyang sabihin iyong ng binata. Ipinilig niya ang ulo niya bago tinitigan ng matiim ang binata.

"What do you think you need to do? It's up to you. Sabi mo nga hindi sa lahat ng pagkakataon kailangan mung ibigay sakanya ang lahat. Pero ang tanong kaya mo bang maging selfish para sakanya o hindi? His your twin can you give him up or not?" Tinignan siya nito bago ngumiti.

"I would gladly give him up than giving up the woman that I dream of since I was a kid. She's the person I want to spend my entire life with. Siya lang dahil Mahal na mahal na mahal ko siya. Pero mukhang hindi niya ako kayang mahalin ngayon dahil naguguluhan siya sa pangyayari. But I can wait." Kinindatan siya nito na ikinatigil niya pero kalaunay napangiti rin. Napatingin siya sa relo niya.

"Halika ka na alas-otso na e."
