“To the East!”
“To the West!”
There’s a crease on my615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNNJD0FM8W
forehead, I can vividly tell. Who would’ve not had such confusion if your one615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyky188xwU1
and only company is opposing the map? Exasperation expelled out of my breath.
“That rectangular paper isn’t reliable,615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz38eqNa5N
believe me.” Arms crossed anterior the chest, he had vented the statement with615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKs9vKonPX
whole confidence.
“How come that thing survives615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ715E1cjh3Z
on your pocket? Don’t just brag that it has a cover to resist water.”
“And besides, who still uses615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm09bRUyYwK
that thing? Come on, this thing is much more updated.” Subsequent was a quadrate615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOG0ZGPTk3
mobile phone shown before my face. With an automatic reaction, I rolled my615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKufKyQ1MiI
eyes.
“Right, not to mention that615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAFTyjeHRr
this place catches no communication network. Who knows if that still works from615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGmYwbfxoo
the massive water earlier. Brilliant.”
“Oh shoot, thanks for615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jNqI531v9
reminding.” He smiled, and a deep crate had become visible on his cheeks. Asset,615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHgS2nLyAW
one of his assets.
“But at least just trust me615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3p0iMRMmt
about directions. I believe I can make myself familiarize with the path.” He615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡis7tQKPpkd
added but this time with no arrogance, instead with sincerity.
“Whatever. Just please! Just615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdlCiSY06u
please make sure you were right this time.” I made the vexed face still. But with615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NWeyJsMM9
just few seconds, my annoyance had rapidly turned into surprise as soon as I615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5BuXKjK3b
was lifted from the grounds.
“Hey! Bring me down!” To615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUdZDW7HtY
tagged as a child throwing tantrums is out of my concern anymore for I believe615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYqiWRPPYK
that it is impossible for someone to reside into this. We’ve took a long pace615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNLUcZvBoB
already from the squad. And primarily, if there’s someone to be blame, it is615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHEhBT6xfd
me. I made him get lost with me inside this unsure woodland.
“You’re still soaked, you got615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9hp0QgcX2
bruises and I can tell that you’re not able to make fifty steps anymore from615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBNFwukYMy
the trembling of your legs. Stop nagging anymore and just utter your gratitude,615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡod0ihvJtxp
I’ll surely appreciate it.” From every words he conveyed, I can definitely feel615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5IVe8ncal
the heaving on his broad chest to where my hands were resting. Screw it, he had615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9x2MYmu8A
made my hands clasp together inches below his neck to attain the piggy-back615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirK0vpALGO
position.
“I’m sorry.” A soft utterance flees615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVZpgHlew5
from my mouth. I sulk my face on his back to hide my reaction even though there’s615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GLwRhptVd
zero chance of him witnessing it.
“Shh. It’s not your fault. You615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gafNBUvgd
were just confused after waking up from the tent assuming that everybody left.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxbvtZnvpK
You looked for us everywhere and ended up seeing me, doing uhm- unnecessary thing.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaePaF3eaq8
To your surprise you fell to that immense waves of river and of course, as your615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDiPhDFhX2
very best friend, I’ll undoubtedly rescue you.” I remained silent. I am looking615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9otiyCGmoh
for the room of sarcasm to his voice but there’s none. Knowing Bryson, he’ll615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLG3dZvmDf
continually insult, tease and mock me. Or at least he will first, before615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡba82hTO8ey
proceeding to such genuine statement. We’ve survived our friendship with that615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Kp7Fb45EJ
kind of setup. Mockery before apology.
“But you should’ve remained615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9rWAtyuqR
still.”
“Chasse, stop. No one was to615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yZlLjXZpT
be blame.”
This time, I removed my face615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfbzDfM5P4
from sulking on his back and let my eye roam on the environment. Hence, it stopped615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlFpYbTdVB
immediately on the left side of his torso. Although the sky is getting dusky,615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7Uhgmaq5L
my eyes can clearly perceive the wounded part.
“You’re bleeding!”
“Huh?”
“You’re wounded! Damn Bryson,615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdWszDBmj8
you should’ve told me. Bring me down, now! I’ll treat that first.” Fortunately,615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUuFYiUut6
he didn’t make any more defiance and made me land back on the ground.
“I think it bled the moment615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrng67zhYt
you carry me.
Undress yourself.”
“C-Chasse, I’m not read— “
“Cut the bullshit Bry.” I said615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLaNB3NNru
and tore the lower part of my black shirt that was slightly ripped from the615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduegVQxHCK
accident earlier.
“Woah, we’ve been friends for615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8rnJUPOhh
fifteen years and this is the first to see you getting wild.” Dimples on cheek615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HWF5Hme9R
is waving again to me.
“I always thought you are not615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IhajoooJR
interested to men. You didn’t even settle a gaze to those jerks eyeing on you615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y8lr7126k
on the campus. You even told me that you’ll not marry anyone. And what again?615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHijxKHtJa
You haven’t fell for anyone yet? Ha! Joke’s on you Chasse, never thought that615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGuPPYfBqS
you’ll fell for— “And I hit him, on the head.
“You’re the death of me,615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRKFi2U0Bc
seriously. Do you really want to treat me”? He protested but followed with615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgC3IFVcQ0m
chuckle thereafter. I didn’t pay much notice on his statement and started to615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOW92HKCBJw
treat his wound, stopped the bleeding by applying pressure and then covered it615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFCwOS2H69
with the cloth I ripped.
I rid a deep sigh subsequently615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBLuQ1FxdZ
closing my eyes with my head leaning on the near tree where we had decided to615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiJLSIE1kD
stop. I can slowly feel the cold touch of night from the breeze caressing on my615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozexKFClLK
dermis. But with just a minute, warmth is now lingering before me. A scent of615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JIl66n7Pu
mint is brushing on my face, so I made my eyes opened again.
I saw a deep enigmatic portal.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO0jgHd4H6
It is so deep enough to enchant me, enough to drain my whole soberness. The615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkLnDQIPlZ
pair of hazel orbs were seeming to be communicating with my eyes. And with no615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW3HXgysG5
further explanation, I think, at some point, I was charmed.
“Chasse.” He’s leaning so near615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNRVhnx2I4
enough to presume that it was just an inch between us.
“Thank you.
Thank you for coming to my615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEQwSl4p4T
life. You’re the best thing that happened to me since age five.” His gaze is615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVzsxNDUjR
penetrating to my soul.
“Thank you for allowing me to615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQa8in6atr
come on your life, for allowing to know you better and for spending memories615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0tNq8IzJT
with me. Chasse, you’re my treasure. You’re my precious gem, believe me.” The615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuamibsNSyW
place is not magical, there are no fairies, no pixie dusts, but his words were615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMqIguQ8Fb
enough for me to dance on the melody of enchantment. I chose not to answer615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35jzrONB7d
verbally hence I close the remaining gap between us to savor the rampaging615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskp6vTcNPl
feeling on my chest as I tasted his lips against mine.
I feel like exploding, from615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp86MiyR7w
this strange feeling I haven’t felt this ever since. It was just Bry, he who made615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM5B0moZR5
me feel every notable first of my life. It took ten seconds before he withdraws615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VuxavULqY
from the kiss.
“No, Chasse no. This is wrong.”
“Bry?”
“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8CzBapYDf
brought you into this situation. I shouldn’t have made that kind of atmosphere.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvZpSFN0ZT
I shouldn’t have made- “
“Bry stop it!
Can’t you see? I-I want you. I615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgqzfsk7Kv
want you wholly in my life. Stop apologizing. I am starting to think that you’re615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aikzfKT5g
sorry for kissing me.”
“No! I love that! Damn, you615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3MBpK00Rb
don’t know how much I like to kiss you all the time, you don’t know how much I615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejPQk7ehDo
wanted to spend every second with you.”
“Then why? Why are you acting615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc38HpYf13O
like showing my feelings was the greatest mistake I’ve ever done?” Tears, there’s615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh7rUeX5LZ
tears gushing now from my eyes.
“Eleanor.”
“Eleanor? My cousin?” The name615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWyFzV5GJ5
he mentioned feels like a bomb that’s now ticking inside my head. A nod was615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoKEx10AJc
followed from him.
“Two weeks. She’s two weeks615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1TTzBqTsN
pregnant.” And from that moment, I think I lost my sanity. I felt jellies on my615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hmVimHguT
knees. And on my chest, it was so heavy that I just wanted to lie down on the615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTknkgDnV1
ground. This is the first that I made myself surrender to the notion of love.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaa5cwsDsAM
This is the first that I entrusted myself into the feeling of romance. But why615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdbiyTRvu5
does it have to be chained so immediate with hurt? Was love supposed to be like615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPuNiEjLCS
this? Was love supposed to be this heart-breaking? All my life, I assumed that615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew7EtqRsml
love was the very best one can feel. It’s always stated on novels. It was always615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKTOI8pWo0
stated by greatest authors.
I made my gaze to him firm as615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs2LHDfZWe
possible albeit the streaming tears.
“Chasse, I’m really sorry.” This615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyINdTSPH9q
time, he’s also crying with knees now on the ground. Silence befell between us.
Bryson, I think I was the one615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvyhxJhEdE
who must be apologizing. I’m sorry If it took me time to realize about how I615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghxLqxl446
feel. I’m sorry If I made you wait. I’m sorry If I keep on denying myself. I’m615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ULkLb4Njx
sorry, I’m too late.
I plastered a smile on my615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVznQeYDOV
face.
“Thank you. Thank you for615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJhvnXY2nY
allowing me to feel how to be in love for seconds.” I turned my back. It was a615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzWMQL5RC3
genuine utterance.
“We should call it a day.”
“Chasse.”
“Bryson, forget what had615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8BS51GwRx
happened.
Forget it, because I think I615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsihmAwIPZO
cannot do it. So please do that favor for me. And I’m glad. I’m glad to tell615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrqt7QJ9wA
that you’re my first love, I’ve no regret.”
You’re my first love and615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdkYo4qkH1
surely my last. It’s really a miracle that I’ve survived the huge current from615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSmzffv7Pw
the river earlier despite my condition. Maybe, maybe it was meant that you615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjgtB94v2J
should know how I feel towards you, before it’s really too late. Before my own615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM592XsCH6
breath escaped my lips. Before the destined death visits me. I am glad to be in615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YIfbblX0a
love even with seconds of my life.
