27, PART TWO - The Tragedy that Scarred Both of Us
[TRIGGER WARNING: contains sensitive themes]
The angry yells of Ena proved useless to halt her daughter’s movements. And so, Ena faced Aure with crestfallen face. She bent to Aure’s level then caressed her hurt cheek.
"My apologies, hija. The brat has been upset since we waited in the mausoleum everyday since you stood us up last Monday. You see, her ego was wounded pretty bad. That superiority complex of hers is an Aragon gene I despise with all my heart. Worry not, I will get her begging on her knees next Monday. Take care, k?"
Little did Aure know that was the last time she will ever see Caress Aragon.
The venomous words of Care grilled into her head even after she was home.
I am everything you cannot be, remember!

Years ago, Eli's recollection of the past From the young age of six, his father frequently pats his head and tells Eliseo, "Son, as the eldest, I trust you would be responsible. Look after your siblings." People commend their family for living in virtue despite their poverty. It confused him since he knew money was a constant problem to them. One time, he roused from bed due to thirst. Faint sobs were picked by his ears as he passed from the room of his parents. Coincidentally, his Mama emerged through the door opening. Her eyes dilated; surprised he was still up. She averted his gaze quickly. Eli, being a filial son, wrapped his arms around her tiny waist. "Papa and I are blessed to have a very responsible

Throughout the day, she was a social butterfly again in order to remind herself who she is. She is hellbent on erasing any traces of Aurelia Vicentes in herself. Pushing Ram's death at the farthest corner of her mind was what she believed the first requirement until Eli showed up. The man she thought warmhearted was actually capable of ruthlessness. He shamed her with black rose bearing a symbolic meaning of deep-seated hatred, rudely turned his back at her and ignored her calls. Lots of onlookers started murmuring to each other. Gossips will surely blow up if she follows him further. Nonetheless, her poor legs, yet to recuperate from strenuous physical activities she had been forced through, ran after him. "Eli, wait!" she shouted half-begging. He kept his brisk pace as if he heard nothin

The first hours felt like her body was dipped in hot and cold simultaneously. Care suffered from chills all over apparent through her teeth chattering. She nearly believed she was charcoal lit on a furnace. In her awake but upside down and dancing in waves vision, she watched Eli as he wiped her arms with a damp face towel in efforts to lower her 39.8℃ body temperature. It was the gentle strokes of his hand that lull her to sleep again.Her parched throat hurt, waking her up in the process."Wa..ter." she mumbled.Eli rose from his armchair and put his book down upon noticing the movement of her lips. He leaned in, kneeling at the bedside. She unintentionally swallowed her remaining saliva due to his strong misty scent invading her nostrils and luring her to nuzzle into the crook o

XOXO!TEASER:"Why won't you ask my name?" She asked since they reached the point of taking pictures two strangers together do not normally do.She sat up so he did the same."Do you want to tell me?" he answered with another question right of the bat.Introducing herself as Caress would sound absurd while using Aurelia makes her sick in the stomach and uttering a false name is burdensome. To hide in anonymity felt good. Therefore, she found herself slowly shaking her head.

A makeshift stage, the jazz punk feels backdrop... A local band performing live was the root of attraction, she supposed. Steel barricades set the boundary for the audience which meant no high ground for her to survey the area.

Opposite ends coiled. Its red shimmer turned somber as the string of fates was completely cut off. Care instinctively clutched her chest while gasping for air and her tears trickling on the sand one after another, floored by a longing so intense that plagued her soul. If she could only reach or seize what was amiss deep within her, she would! On the other hand, Eli was motionless. The disunion crushed him just as much through an unsettling feeling that shook his whole body; hollowed sensations even felt by his fingertips. His tears fell, too, conveying the depth of his pain he has yet the capacity to comprehend. WHOOSH! Gusts of winds sent their photo memento adrift the air current while waves swallowed the rusty scissors unbeknownst to them because of the unprecedented arrival of two myst

A lone fighter. She was fine with that. After all, this mess was her doing. Fired up because of her newfound purpose, she hailed a cab since she planned to wait for Eli in Tiya Rosa's cottage. The split-second shocked expression of the driver while she was instructing him the address was overlooked by her eyes fixating outside as though by some miracle, Eli would pop out of nowhere. By the next minutes, she slept on the passenger seat without her intending to. The faint sound of engines dying awoke her and the first thing welcoming her sight was a police station. She jolted and glared at the driver about to step outside to open her door. "Mister, what the actual crap? I'm capable of paying fare, for your information." She asserted in a high, irritated pitch.

PART I - Severed Fates is officially done. I will be posting PART II after a two month break so I'll probably back by the second week of March. School has been tough or sometimes unexpectedly busy so I need ample time to write more without worrying to miss weekly updates. In that way, I won't run out of my prepared chapters like it did with the last 5 chapters. It super caused me a great delay, phew. As for the second part's own short prologue, I'd drop it as soon as I can. Hope you understand and always keep safe and kicking! Lots of love!
