My Big Boss | Kristel & Yohan Fanfiction

Simula

The dark cold breeze made me shiver. On the open ground of the rooftop, the icy north wind was blowing straight into my face, however, fragments of flames float through the thin air.

He gritted his teeth with pang. Without hesitance, I crashed my body against his. Knees bended on the ground, I hugged him with all my might, wishing this isn't happening.

My embrace tighten when more blazing particles flew.

"No. Aniyo!" I desperately cried.

Naramdaman ko ang kamay niya sa aking likuran. Paulit-ulit na hinahagod ito, nang-aalu sa namumuo kong pag-iyak. His hands may warm me, but not this time, not in the middle of this catastrophe.

He pull out from our embrace. His eyes immediately found mine, staring at me like I am the most beautiful thing he have seen on earth, but for one last time.

Hinawakan niya ang aking pisngi. Pinasadahan ng tingin ang aking mukha, tila ba minemorisa ang mga ito at ibaon sa kawalan.

"Meeting you... was the reward of my life." He said.

"No. Jebal..." I place my hands into his hand that is on my cheek, I nuzzle into it as I stare into his eyes. "You said you wouldn't let go of my hands.. You promised me."

"I will come as the rain... I will come as the first snowfall. I will beg the divinity... to let me just do that."

I shake my head. Marahan kong kinuyom ang kamay niya pilit na ayaw itong bitawan. Taas-baba ang aking dibdib sa kapos ng hangin kakaiyak. Like there's a big lump about to choke me, my swallowing made me hardly breath.

"Don't go like this.." I pleaded.

I wasn't the one who was stab with the sword that stuck for five hundred years, but why does I am the one who suffered the pain? I should be glad that it's finally gone- making his suffering gradually diminish. But why does it feels like I was stab right through my chest?

"Saranghae... saranghae.. saranghae.." I said repeatedly.

"So do I... Saranghae.. I already did that back there."

His eyes intently staring at me as he said his last words. He smiled at me one last time before slowly closing his eyes, surrendering all his life to the divinity.

My eyes stung watching him slowly devoured by the scorching blazes of the vicious element. Next to me, right infront of me, he turned into ashes, disappeared completely at my sight.

Sumisinghot akong muli at hinayaan na tumakas ang mga luha sa aking mata. I let out a heavy sigh as I grab the wipes box beside me at pinunasan ang mga pisngi'ng may luha.

"Kristel!"

Napatigil ako sa aking gawi dahil sa gumulantang. Nakahalukipkip na sumandal ang kaibigan sa nakabukas na pintoan. She scan my room suspiciously, only to rest her gaze at the gadget on my lap.

"K-drama na naman? Tingnan mo 'yang kaartehan mo o! Umiiyak-iyak ka pa. Feel na feel mo ikaw 'yung bida?" Pangse-sermon niya.

I stick out my tongue at her. Tumayo ako para sana salubungin siya but she then made herself feel at home. I was about to reach the doorknob to close it but I stopped midway when she screamed out loud.

Lumingon ako sa kanyang gawi nang madatnang ginalaw niya ang laptop. Muli ay sumigaw at tumayo, madramang nagmamaktol akong tinitigan.

"Ba't di mo sinabi Goblin ito?! Nasa episode eleven pa ako, na spoil tuloy ako!" Sigaw ni Sue.

Bahagya akong tumawa sabay tuluyang isinara ang pinto.

"Tabi nga!" I joke as I climb back on my bed, placing my laptop into my lap.
