CHAPTER 9
“Analisse! What’s wrong? Wake up!” I said desperately.
Fortunately, I was close by, so I had enough time to run towards her and catch her. I carried her to the nearest sofa and lay her there. I listened to her breathing and checked her pulse to see if she’s fine. Auntie rushes to see if everything was fine, and checked Analisse’s body.
“She seems to be fine? No injuries or fevers of some sort.” Auntie raised an eyebrow.
Auntie went to the kitchen to get a glass of water.
There was a long silence, I’m looking at her beautiful face, and I started to utter words that I want her to hear personally.
“Analisse, you probably don’t remember me right now.”
“Don’t you know that I came back here to see you?”
“I’ve suffered enough these past ten years, and now? I will never lose you. Never again.”
“I will never leave your side again now that I already know your name. Now that I found out who you are.”
I was starting to feel a little drowsy, but I jolted when Analisse made a sound.
“U-uh, L-Lean?” Analisse slowly regains consciousness and starts to open her eyes.

My mind went blank. I hugged Analisse unconsciously as tears start to roll down from my eyes.
“Please don’t ever do that again, you had me so worried. I-I didn’t know what to do.”
Everything was a blurr from the moment I hugged her, and all I could think about was that I had to take care of her. She’s so fragile. I want to be by her side no matter what happens. I loved her back then, and I will love her more today.
“I’m sorry Leann. I’m so sorry.” She says shakingly.
I slowly let her go, and she starts to compose herself by slowly trying to stand up.
I held her arm to assist her while standing.
She smiles and asked something that surprised me.
“Do you like me Leann?”
Is this true?
I stood still trying to pick up my thoughts one-by-one.
Why ask now?
Why now? When I’m still so unprepared?
“N-no, I don’t I’m sorry.” What did I just say?! Aaaaaaaaaaaaargh!? What the f.ck did I just say?!
“Oh, well that’s surprising.” She replies
No, It’s not what you think it is.
“Well, Um.”
Please listen to me one more time.
“I think is should be going now.”
Please don’t! I love you I really do; I just couldn’t say it properly.
“Bye Leann.” She smiles.
