I trusted my heartbeat

I was being discharged at some hospital, that's how I first met him.

My room Is just facing his.

And because his door is open, I saw him at his bed, sitting and bored while everyone seems to scold him.

Dug.dug.dug.dug.dug

I can't understand why my heart is beating so fast..

I didn't noticed that he is already looking at me. From his bored look, it changed to a grinning face.

“Hyx, come on let's go.”
I abruptly turned my gaze away when mother called my name.

I thought I wouldn't see him again.

But now, he is standing in my way.

“I'm Nigel.”

Dug.dug.dug.dug.dug

My heart is beating so fast..

“Do you believe in soulmates?”
He asked.

“No. I don't.”

He smiled on my answer.

“It's like this.”
He then grabbed my one hand that made me startled and put it to his heart.

His heart is also loud like mine..

“You feel it? Soulmates are like that. You only knew you are soulmates if both of your hearts are beating than usual. It's like you are the other half of that person's soul. That's soulmate.”

Days passed. He is still pursuing me.

“Hyx, tara! Sine tayo.”

I've known him for months, but my heart is still uneasy whenever he is around. I don't believe in soulmates.

But when he came.

I made up my mind.

“I love you, Hyx... Please. Ngayon naman. Mahalin mo na 'ko.”

I stoop my head. I can't answer him... What's wrong with me??

“What are you even waiting for?”
He held my chin for me to look at him.

Hinawakan ko ang dibdib ko. Should I trust my heart?

“Hyx...”

“Nigel, I also love you.”

He was the happiest when we became together.

In our relationship, I learned that he is really a jealous boyfriend. But he never hurted me. He loves me than his own life.

And I fully surrender myself to him. I trusted my heartbeat, that it leads me to marrying him.

“I'm so inlove with you, Hyx.”
He said while looking at me. My heart is at race again.

We are on the venue after our wedding.

“Nigel, I need to go to the comfort room.”

“Hurry back, wife.”

I smiled and nodded at him.

While I'm walking to the comfort room, a caterer just stopped in my front. He looks shock.

Shock to see the bride roaming around? Or do I look like a killer bride? I once again stared at the caterer.

Then my heart is beating painfully, I couldn't stop myself from touching my chest.

What's wrong?

“H-hyx?”
How did he know my name?

“Who are you?”
I ready myself to attack if he is some psycho killer.
