She repeatedly slapped Pegasus' butt. It is because she wanted to get to the plateau right away. At the edge of the sugarcane field they made their way side the road. A gunshot she heard as she reached the top of the cliff. But it might be so far away she concluded. Her hearing sense was weak. There was another sound of a gun shot again. So she tied Pegasus to the big tree of Banaba. But nothing happened next, so she calmed herself down. Maybe where that shot was real happened far away. It's only seven in the morning so it's nice to be under the sun. She laid her laptop on the wide rock. It is very nice to place what looks like a living stone table under the Banaba tree. Here she often sits when she is there. She was quietly typing on her laptop while thinking of something to add to the story she was writing. Until she was no longer aware of the time. By noon, the shadow of the Banaba tree had left her away so she was decided to stand up and get near to the tree. She moved right under it. Then she noticed that Pegasus' growl was uncomfortable. It is a growled right after one another. She looked around and there was no one. Jasmine refocused her mind on what she was writing. She doesn't want to stop as long as she can think of a lot more to add to what she's writing. But she felt a hand grip on her shoulder.
"Huh! Ohh shit! You scared me to death."
Jasmine sat touching her palm to her chest. Her heart almost fell down in shock.
"Oh my! Jake will you please don't do that again.
"I didn't expect you to be so shocked like that."
That he saw Jasmine was almost wants to cry over it. So he said sorry. He was carrying three red roses.
"Oh Jake! If you're not that really handsome!" Jasmine just joked about her annoyance.
But even though it made her annoyed she was still able to treat Jake well. That she was also very happy and thrilled anyway.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry,"
Jake repeated it in his very soft voice."Its okay now."
At the same time, Jasmine took the roses on the soldiers hand. She couldn't wait that it will be handed to her.
"Maybe this for me. Do you have this flower plant because you always carrying a rose for me?"
"I just picked that rose along the way here."
"Oh not! I'd rather say not to give me roses anymore."
"Of course that was just a joke. I bought it in town this morning," he said.
"How did you know that I'm here in the plateau." Jasmine asked.
No one knew that she was there. So she wonders how Jake followed her there.
"We shot a bird earlier. I met the one who was patrolling the sugarcane field. I asked him, he answered that you used to be here at the top of the cliff."
Jasmine stood up and untied Pegasus when she heard footsteps. Quickly picked up his laptop and pulled Jake away.
"Jake quick here!"
She quickly whipped Pegasus in the butt away from the place. Just in a few minutes they were on the edge of the Hacienda when Jasmine woke up in fear. She suddenly remembered that afternoon, they had enjoyed talking. But Jake's life is dangerous for the two of them only, lest they might be in an encounter. She remembered the last thing Mang Castor said not to spend the afternoon on the plateau with rebels roaming their area in recent days. It wouldn't matter if she was alone. She will certainly be not touched. But if shes with a soldier, there might be encounters for that rebellious people and Jake alone. Jasmine is in her flesh shaking with her own nervousness. As Pegasus was just walking along the side of the Hacienda.
"Why?"
Jake seemed to be get what Jasmine had done as it pulled Pegasus' reins to stopped. They sat down on the rock. The weather suddenly tuened stormy. And the blackened cloud appeared as a sign that heavy rains will fall down. Jake remained speechless. He preferred not to ask because he already had a hunch of the reason. Silently he sat next to Jasmine.
She knew there was a hut ahead under that old Acacia tree. The hut where the sugarcane plantation workers rested most often. So there they go to take shelter. So that they won't get wet of the rainwater.
"Okay at least we won't get wet."
Jake held her hand. But it gave even more nervous. And there was a mixture of excitement. She felt the warmth of the palm. However she did not have the courage to remove the hand. Jake kissed her hands which made her even more excited.
"Jasmine, in case I tell you that I like you and I want you to be my special someone to love. Will there be anyone who might get mad?"
She stand up for the serious question but she took a wrong step so he slowly fell down. Inadvertently Jake pulled her hand away. As she turned back facing the soldier she lost her right balance again in her stance and sank into Jake's chest. She got more turned on to inhaled Jake's fragrant scent. As it was a very neat man she ever knew. It has been exposed to the heat of the sun and is sweating but its fragrant smell remains. One of Jasmine's favorite things about a man is being physically clean. This handsome yet clean body thrill factor that Jake has. She tried to fix her erection, it was too late when she noticed that the soldier lips were already pressed to her lips. The strange touch of his kiss flowed through her system. Even Jake's fragrant breath was able to respond. She didn't want to be carried away by the flow of what she felt.
What she heard is the beating of heart that was getting stronger and she liked the kiss. Jasmine felt the sweetness of Jake's kiss and the embraces imprisoned her. She was slowly getting carried away and slowly reacted to the heat. When the kiss descended on her neck and slowly removed the button of her dress, Jasmine rubbed her chest."Jake," she said softly.
She could no longer speak with Jake's sticky stare after she uttered the soldier's name. She closed her eyes and waited for the lips to touch hers again. Next words come out on her mouth is the moan as there's f finger penetrated her most hidden underwear. She has the feeling of waiting to enter her womanhood.
"I need you," Jake whispered.
Tenderly she responded to the heat. It was painful at first but Jasmine's femininity tunnel also tolerated. Her hand grip on Jake's arm loosened. The pain is gone, the strange sensation has been replaced and there seems to be an end to the heat. They both smiled with strange happiness.
"Can I call you babe?" Jake asked.
The girl nodded in agreement. but got ashamed as what happened is too fast. The joy in Jake's feeling was his girl's nod. It means that they were already lovers. Jasmine answered late to, they were both just smiling at what happened. She pulled the soldier's right hand, it was already twilight. Pegasus had to be brought back to the stable.
Jake, on the other hand, will replace the station at night."I'll go with you returning back Pegasus to the stable."
They both riding Pegasus back going to the up the hill and down to near the phosphate-mined land. The horse runs fast, while words whispered softly to her ears were I love you to.
How nice to see the whole mansion from the top view. On the road going up, there were trees rows in line. The lights were giving more beauty to look at. It overlooks as castle -like at the top of the hill. It is further accentuated with decorations added for the birthday celebration to be held for that night. The party organizers surely made the night be a memorable event for Andrea and Shen. And also be the ambience around is pleasant for the coming guests. The two were wearing their elegant but simple designed gown. Shen turned around many times in front of the mirror in her pink dress before going downstairs and sat down on her princess- like chair. Andrea came out in her simple asymmetric cut out dress. At her age the beauty that she had when she was young remained. So it's no wonder that she captured the heart of the governor. And so she was the one that the governor truly love too. Meanwhile after few hours waited all expected guests have arrived. Jasmine look at her wrist wa
As she combs her sister's hair. Sadness once again prevailed in her heart."It's your birthday today my dear. You will still be my baby. Smile baby, smile."She tried to put a smile on her cheeks for her sister. Actually she can't remember when was she last happy. Since the moment her aunt Andrea and her daddy died. It is true that she sometimes smiles. But she was sure the smiles she was showing were not real. Everything was fake so she could hide her grief. Not even a laughed. Or maybe she didn't even know how to laugh at all. She was imprisoned for what happened to her daddy and the woman she had already identified as her mother. And again it's Shen's birthday party on that day. Celebrating debut party as already she will be called completely a lady. To the fact that her aunt Andrea was born on the same day, it is inevitable that she will be remembered either. That her aunt Andrea's birthday turned as her death anniversary too. On that night six years ago, unexpectedly happened. It
Many questions troubled her mind. It's just like why Jake shot her dad. There was a bad motive planned by Jake, she started to think about that. The man she fell in love with is a wicked man. Should she still need to ask Jake why and let him explain what happened. Or should just she will let herself to hate the man that made their life miserable. Was there enough reason beyond, aside from what she saw. Her heart and emotions are on both sides. Her mind stands in hatred but why does her heart seemed refuse to believe. But still from that incident, Jasmine's anger and hatred towards her boyfriend slowly developed. She chose to stay away from Andrea mansion,they've gone to Manila. What happened was very painful for her. That man mean so much to her. She knew it would be very hard for her to forget. But that's what's better option to have. She admitted Shen to the hospital for therapy for the trauma. It never spoke again, which made her heart even more sad. Jasmine entrusted the manageme
"Ma'am,"The maid's grand daughter voice who gently pushed to open the door. It went inside. Jasmine didn't notice that the young lady called her several times. "It's you," Jasmine said in surprise.Jen was standing behind her. The young grand daughter of their maid who worked with them since before her aunt Andrea and dad died.It took her an hour looking back the past. From unforgettable night up to the present moments of their lives. To the point that she was not even aware of what was going on around as her busy mind was reminiscing the past. She combed Shen's hair as it everything come back to her memory. The memories shouldn't be think of again."Shen and you are supposed to go out. The beautician is waiting for Shen.""Okay. Let's go out Shen."Shen's make-up and hairstyle maker came. That's all it needs to finish. Then Everything is ready outside.The debut party for Shen started early in the evening.The debutant looks so beautiful in her gown made by a well -known seamstress
Shen was still sleeping soundly. Carefully she pushed the door knob as she entered. She made sure it wasn't created noise so she wouldn't wake her sister up. "If she will asked where I am, just tell her that I havethat I just left. I'll be back soon too," she said so.Their housemate is in the grotto. Sweeping and cleaning around. Removing the dry leaves of trees that have been dropped to the ground.She would have left going to the horse stable. When she had a sense of a bad vibes. At first she thought she might just be paranoid. But she really felt weird.Quickly she ran back to the mansion. To the room she first went where Shen was still sleeping.She's in the right lice. Someone came in. It wears a bonnet to not know who. It runs outside.Behind the door it hid when he entered. Then quickly run out of the room.Before that person got away she got her gun right away. Since the day her daddy and aunt Andrea died she learned to hold a gun. Pull the trigger of the gun and have the
The roosters were already crowing. It will be morning and the sun will rise in a few hours. Still she is wide awake. Her two eyes were soaring. She can't stop thinking of the man which she wasn't sure if she still love or not anymore. It bothered her a lot. Ever since her back landed on bed. She was just too worried about Jake. Figuring out how to follow ka-Digna's group. With a blast of gunfire, she was certainly not sure if it was on the plateau. She had to get out of the mansion and reassure checking where was that sound came from. Quickly she ran going to the grotto. She saw from the distance view the two reo trucks passing away on the road. Its good that there were no obstructing trees in her sight. She could see from faraway the scene down of the hill. Her gaze followed the two reo trucks until it disappeared from her sight. She thinks that the soldiers aboard in the reo trucks will climb the nearby mountain to chase all the bandits who were nesting there. She just sighed deep
She entered quietly into the rebel's hide-out. As instructed she carefully followed what has been told to her. First, she looked for the leader who was no other than ka-Diun gna. Do you know this soldier? He always says your name. Do you know him personally? Jasmine nodded. And just she nods any means Yes. She didn't say any yet that ka-Digna understand the meaning of her nod. She stared at Jake as it is sleeping. Its body had collapsed too much. It has traces of torture. Can you give him to me," Jasmine pleaded? "Alright, get him out of here. I want it right now. Before those fellow soldiers attack here," ka-Digna answered. She wanted to ask Digna why she took Jake to their hiding place. But she stopped herself she already knew the reason. They thought Jake was spying on them that day they saw him on the way down from the Andrea mansion. "Jake stand up. You need to wake up. We have to get out of here." Jake struggled to stand up. He knew they need to get away from the place as
Chapter 1 "Ohhh! Gosh! What an amazing moves! They are just falling like UFO' she whispered to herself. She could no longer move from her position due to nervousness. She was washing her face outside the gate of Andrea mansion seven o'clock in the morning. There was a faucet near to Mother Mary's garden. She plans to go to Mama Mary's Grotto and clean up its surroundings. There she saw a helicopter flying around. The height of the helicopter's flight was almost above the tallest coconut tree. Suddenly there were scout rangers jumping from up above. They just circled moving down in the air and stood up on the ground like they're standing holding in the positions of their high powered gun. Jasmine's eyes watered at what she saw. "Soldiers have that kind of great command' Jasmine said to herself. Their speed and skill in falling to the ground were astonishing.They were able to immediately establish their legs and at the same time point their long high powered gun at the front. Their

"Hi! Tita, "Jake greeted Jasmine's stepmother. "Come on, come inside," Andrea said kindly. Andrea stared hard at Jasmine's childhood friend. It was often at their Hacienda in their younger days. “It's you, Jake. I didn't know you before you came here and asked where Jasmine was. "Yes Tita," he replied with a smile. “Okay, I'll leave you and Jasmine." Jasmine's stepmother already remembered Jake. She has been the only one to guide Jasmine since she attended elementary school. Goes to school every meeting. Her daddy can't do this because he has a first family and a very mischievous wife. Her husband knew about them. At first, they were kept secret from the public for their reputation but later all the people of Brgy. Kawayan knew about Andrea and the governor. "Maybe they're already looking for you," Jasmine reminded the Jake. "I really can't last long either." "Okay if you want we ca
