THE LUNA BRIDE FROM TOMORROW CHAPTER 66
When I woke up again, I was surprised to see a half naked Dmitri carrying me inside the room. It made me freak to actually see him carrying me somewhere I am not sure and most of all, while he is naked.I can’t be sure whether I will be safe around him knowing that Dmitri can really be a perverted man most of the time. I have already made a vow before that I would never allow Dmitri to come any where closer to me ever again.Being close to him could not only make me annoyed but at the same time, leaves a stingful pain in my heart. I hate to admit but what he really had been doing to me lately caused me feel bad and illed towards him.I cursed the very day when I even encountered him for the first time and even that night when we both shared a steamy night. It is the night from where I lost my virginity card to him and I totally regret allowing him to be the first man I had to actually sleep with.If there could only be a chance from which I can turn back the time, I would request to h

I instantly fell silent the moment I heard Dmitri’s answer. At first, I really didn’t want to believe that Dmitri could say that from the heart. And yet, I don’t get it why am I even feeling this way. Normally, words like that from him won’t affect me even for a bit. However, given the circumstances now, it’s as though every single word that he had just told me now is giving me the chills.It is a different kind of chill since all that was being affected is me and particularly my heart. I didn’t want to actually bare to accept that fact but my senses couldn’t just ignore it either since after hearing it, my heart just couldn’t stop beating so fast.I had to remind myself that I shouldn’t even feel this way, particularly if it’s just Dmitri.There is no way that Dmitri is telling the truth. Perhaps he was just trying to make fun of me and my emotions again. Since it is what I believe to be what Dmitri is doing right now, I immediately stand firm before him and said, “I won’t buy any o

Despite the fact that I was trying my best to fight him off, Dmitri ended up carrying me into the next room. It was pointless because he put so much pressure on me that whenever I made an effort, I was only successful in falling short of my goal and being held back.“Let go of me, Dmitri!” I urgently protested.And as if he had instantly understood what I was saying, he immediately set me free by throwing me onto the couch. Because he was so fast in closing in on me, I didn't even have enough time to run away and get away from him before he had me trapped.Dmitri pressed his arms against each of my sides to the point where they were able to prevent me from making another attempt to flee. And as if he were reading into my thoughts, Dmitri moved his face forward in an instant to seize hold of my lips.The kiss he gave me was rough and full of rage. It appears to me, based on the manner in which his upper and lower lips pressed against mine, that he is very hungry for it. It is not even

I am not certain anymore what kind of reaction I must convey to Dmitri. At this point, I am being tormented by various emotions that it’s starting to become frustrating that I can’t even figure out how I should actually respond to Dmitri.The way he looks at me directly in the eyes gives off the impression that he had been dying to know my answer. The crimson hue in his eyes that were earlier touched the color of golden brown look terrifying this close.It feels as though I just had returned to that time when I first met him back at the Alforque manor. Too reckless of me to actually enter a room without realizing that someone might still be in there. I guess fate had brought me there when I was so scared that when someone was coming up, it instantly frightened me that whoever it was actually might find out that an intruder like me tried to infiltrate the manor. Of course, the first thing I did was to enter the first room that came to my sight. Apparently, during that time I had no ot

To my shock, it seems that my room’s door is broken. The housekeeper reported that they are calling a maintenance staff to check on how they can open the room but apparently, his shift for today was already due about three hours ago, so they are still contacting him.“Are there other rooms available that she may temporarily use tonight? We’ll just collect her things tomorrow when the staff arrives to open the door. Don’t bother calling him, it’s quite too late.” Dmitri suddenly chimed. I appreciate his compassion for the personnel but I just hope the resort has an extra room for me to use.“Unfortunately, we are fully booked for the whole week. I’m afraid there won’t be any available room for the time being. We’ll just call the staff and get your room ready to use in a while.” The assisting Manager said that puts me instantly in desolation. Where would I stay now?I tried keeping my outlook feeling optimistic somehow. For sure the hotel wouldn’t bargain their reputation to let me stay
THE LUNA BRIDE FROM TOMORROW 71
After leaving the hotel, Dmitri and I got back on the road to find the old tree we’ve been looking for. I don’t know if it’s just me but there seems to be a huge invisible wall between us now. The awkward atmosphere caused by what happened in the hotel room made me suddenly embrace this kind of feeling.But since Dmitri was just focused on the road—as if nothing happened at all—then I just tried my best to ignore the thought and focus on our mission for today. As the road comes closer to our reach, I can’t help but wonder what awaits us once we arrive there.The very thought of encountering Dalikamata once again gave me the sudden shivers, yet deep down the interest within me seems too strong to just let the flame subside. She has been frequently seeing me through her apparition ways. I wonder why wouldn’t she just show herself to me immediately to make things a lot easier to comprehend. These mythical creatures tend to be quite irrational at times.“Are you all right?” Dmitri’s voi

He then opens the television and seated on the other end as he scans the channels to entertain us, “Maybe we can watch something while we wait.” He said while his eyes were glued towards the flat-screen television pinned on the wall.I nodded back as I watch him scan over foreign channels that don’t spark any of my interest at all. My concern is focused on him wearing out his remaining energy to stay awake and wait with me.“Dmitri?” I finally manage to utter. He tilts his face a bit slower to look at me, and it made me freeze for a short while before I came to ask him, “I wonder, have I become a nuisance already?” for some reason, my hands feel sweaty after telling him.One of his brows arched up and then he replied, “What’s that supposed to mean?”“I’ve been dragging you into these crazy kinds of stuff going around me and you haven’t had anything to say about it. You just go along with me like it’s nothing and it just made me think if you’re not okay with it then—” I was endlessly t

Dmitri then helped me walk back to his car. I am still in the blink of thought about my visions and the connections of the two personas with my goal. I wonder who are those two people and why do I feel a strong pull of connection with them.“I suppose we’ll be heading back to San Ildefonso now.” Dmitri chimed in to interrupt my imagination.I nodded and said, “Yeah,”“Hey, don’t feel disappointed. I’m sure we can figure things out from here.” He said back. I didn’t realize that Dmitri has been looking at my behavior until now.And because of that, I had the urgency to reply to him back. “I’m just disappointed because we just keep going into a new puzzle instead of solving anything. It’s frustrating.” I admitted with a heavy sigh.“Instead of a new puzzle, why don’t you consider it as a puzzle piece in its place? We would need every clue we can collect for the greater picture to be revealed later.” Dmitri beamed at me with a positive vibrance.My lips arch aside as I look at him by my

Now that sounds really suspicious. But I know I can’t just argue with her about it. Taking that step might just make her harm me or take back the antidote from me. I have to pretend like everything is okay from my end.In this situation I am in, I have to make it appear before Magindara’s eyes that I totally agree with her suggestion. Somehow, there are points from her statement that really do convince me but a greater picture doesn’t deny me the intuition that she might be trying to take me in as tool for her ulterior motive.I don’t know what it really is but I have to be vigilant and ready about it. Ready in a sense that I at least could handle the situation even if I am not aware what kind of battle that I am about to face here.“I’ll see what I can do.” I just replied.I believe that would be the safest thing to say for now.“Do you have any other question so far?” Magindara asked me. I wonder why she suddenly came up with that question.Did she find or somewhat noticed it from m

“Nothing that involves you or Florante.” I told him that shut him up quickly.This time, I didn’t wait for Leandro to act on my request to withdraw the troops away from Magindara. And so, I yanked my head to their direction and yelled, “All of you! Lower your weapons and withdraw from her at once!”“You can’t do that, Miss Emalia.” Leandro tried to protest.“And why can’t I?” I retort back.“Because I am the one leading them, Miss Emalia.”“Very well.” I said with full pride facing the troops, I then added, “As your master’s bride, I also hold the highest command alongside your master. Deny me of this and you shall be severely punished by your master.”And it was like a fearing statement, all the troops begin to withdraw from Magindara and not even Leandro was able to stop that.Magindara still hasn’t remove her barrier but I saw on her face that she is convinced that I did this so that we’re somewhat even for keeping me alive. I nod at her as I make my exit from the cave.As the gua

It makes me feel regretful though but a tinge part of me has become quite the curious as to how the image from the translucent pearl just keep on showing Florante when I am so focused to see my mother?My inquisitive thoughts have been rattling me once again and this just makes me frustrated as I know I won’t set myself aside without trying to know the reason why. But apparently, it seems that Magindara doesn’t have the answers for me as well and this bugs me.“I feel bad for this but do you still wish to try it again?”Though deep down within me says I would prefer to, I think it would be better off if I won’t pursue trying again. It’s kind of scary trying again and then Florante will just be the end result of it.And so I told her, “No. We’ve done it twice already. If it’s not meant for me then it’s okay, but what I just don’t understand it that, why does it keep on showing Florante no matter how I try to concentrate to see my mother? Do you perhaps know a deeper thought about it?”

After handing over the small flask of my tears to her, Magindara went to her drawers and drop in some kind of a blue liquid into before she heads back in front of the translucent pearl once more.“Come closer. Now, as I drop your tears into the pearl, I want you to envisage the moment you wish to see.” She told me.It will be quite difficult for me to try and picture it out since it was the day I was born. I have zero recollection about it except for the stories that my dad often tells me.I wonder how on earth will I start creating such image in my head. But as Magindara head on to drop the liquid on the pearl, I quickly had to concentrate and think deeply about that moment when I was born. I could use my baby images to help me concentrate and it appears that it is working.The translucent pearl is beginning to glow and I couldn’t hide my excitement that I’ll finally get to see the image of my biological mother after twenty-seven long years.Even though Magindara has stop from singi

The beauty of the silver clam boasted as it spread itself open before us. It revealed a shiny pearl inside.“This is a translucent pearl. It can give you a mirror to reflect anything you wish to see from the present and past.”Could that pearl really be that powerful enough to see anything from the past?“Will I be able to see someone from the past even if I hadn’t got the chance to know them?”“Well, the pearl never misses anything the water could see.”“There is someone I’d like to see. Could it be possible thought…I wonder.”“Do you have anyone in mind you met while you are anywhere near bodies of water?” Magindara asked.I’m not sure if it’s okay to tell her a weak side of me. But I’ve been yearning to see an image of my mother. I wonder for real, if doing this will give me the chance to see her even for a short while.“I’m not sure. The last time I was with her was when I was born. My father says she died giving birth to me.”“I’m sorry about that but it seems like we have no oth

“You came back here for the purpose of knowing the truth. But your appearance in this era has made quite some changes in the present time without your knowing.” Magindara stated. She glides her way towards rock formation that resembles a cellar.Magindara gestured me to follow her and I followed. It’s such a surprise that I actually don’t find it scary following her. For some reason, I am just too confident or was it more like I find it normal.It never came into my mind that I am inside an enemy’s lair and a mythical creature that could easily harm me. was this boost of confidence because of the other half of the orient pearl residing inside of my chest?I held into my chest and tried to scrub it gently, I wanted to feel the pearl inside of me but when I find myself looking weird, I immediately stop.Magindara and I stop when we reach the ground where a lot of jars are kept. From different sizes and colors. The whole place appears like Magindara’s secret laboratory for me. I didn’t k

“Did you even try to talk to him again?” I asked. For some unexplainable reason, I really didn’t understand why on earth did I asked that. Was I really trying to torment myself further? I guess so.Magindara just looks at me with a serene face and answered, “A lot of chances came to me but I never push through.”My brow wasn’t able to control itself from rising up as I followed up to ask, “But why didn’t you?”There, Magindara just smiled shyly, “I came to the point of asking myself, if I ever ask for forgiveness and he forgive me. Then the two of reconcile, what would happen if Aman Sinaya will return and ask for the same question again. I’m scared that my loyalty for Aman Sinaya will only make Florante hate me too much that he would rather kill me to death than see me alive.” She said back.I wanted to strangle her. Deep in my thoughts I wish I could just slap her for once but who am I to do that even if I am Florante’s fiancé.Magindara is bound in her faithfulness towards Aman Sin

“Florante saved me once. When some fisherfolks tried to hunt me down, Florante came to my aid and wash them out using the tidal waves. I owe him my life, so I told myself that I would love him and care for him…”Hearing those lines from Magindara stiffen my nerves. This impulse is making me crazy. I am now being consumed by the jealous frenzy. And the feeling just got more intensified when Magindara added saying, “…and I was happy that Florante noticed me and my affection for him. Perhaps it was because he was longing for someone to value and take care of him that’s why he finally noticed me. For quite some time, I stayed in his dome and had the vision of being wed to him. I know it came to his mind that he would ask me to be his wife but something came up.”The sudden turn of events from statement made me more curious. I just have to find the right words to make it sound from my end as if I was just less interested yet at the back of my head, I am so eager to know.And so, I asked, “

There I realize that maybe that was the bargain they made for their only child. That in exchange for their child to live, they have to offer even their own lives. It’s a very noblest thing for his parents to sacrifice at such extent.I feel all the pain that the young Florante is currently experiencing right now as I see him nestled himself on the ground wailing in tears. I can read through the movement of his mouth how he tries to call for his parents but since they were stoned, apparently the poor boy won’t be able to receive the response he was yearning to hear from them.“In exchange for the boy to live longer, his parents made a deal with the sea God. They will offer their lives to be used as auxiliary life source so that Amanikable could transfer his mentala to the young boy. Florante’s state was so fragile that if it’s not done that way, Florante might not be able to handle to amount of mentala inside his body that he will soon perish to death quicker than they could even imagi
