August's POV"Sit." Utos ni Cayden sa akin.Hindi pa rin ako makamove on sa sinabi niyang punishment daw. Ni wala akong ideya kung ano ang gagawin niya. Palulihurin ba niya ako sa asin? O kaya kakain na naman siya habang ako ay gutom at nanunuod sa kanya? Fuck, hindi ko na kayang ulitin yun. Mas gusto ko pa atang tumawid sa baga kesa gawin niya ulit yun.Napaupo ako ng wala sa tamang katinuan dahil maraming tumatakbo sa utak ko. Nakatingin lang ako kay Cayden ng may pagtataka sa mukha. Inisip ko na rin ang tumakas, pero kahit pa anong gagawin mahuhuli pa rin ako. I must not forget, he is not human. His teleportation is a freaking curse in ny life when it comes to situation like this."Ano ba kasi yan?" Naiinip na tanong ko. Hindi pa kami kumakain mula ng makauwi kami ah. Sabi ni manang Hilda naghanda siya, eh excited pa naman ako sa pagkain tapos ngayon, nadedelay yung kain ko dahil sa punishment ni Cayden na wala naman akong ideya? Ni hindi pa ako nakapag-agahan dahil sa pesteng pag-
August's POVI was blinking consecutively as I look at Cayden's face while a heart racing smile was plastered on his lips. May pakiramdam na ako na may masamang balak ito sa consequences. Akala ko ba pag may alak, doon lang may balak, pero kahit gising na gising ako ay parang may binabalak ito."And what is it?" I tried to show I am not affected but I wanted to run and glide for freaking sake! Kahit alam ko na may masama itong balak peste, imbes na matakot ako, naexcite pa ako eh. Sasagot na sana ito ng biglang magring naman ang cellphone ko. Agad ko itong kinuha at nakita ko na si Chief ang nakaregister doon. "Salute." Sagot ko rito.May mga sinabi kaagad si chief sa kabilang linya na naging dahilan para sumeryoso ako lalo. I am now flooded with question in my head. What the hell is happening? Why so sudden?Agad kong ibinaba ang cellphone ko pagkatapos kong sagutin ang tawag. Napatingin naman ako kay Cayden and he has a serious look directed to me. I know he wanted to ask me but he
August's POVThe meeting ended up of having a party outside. Nagkasundo ang karamihan na sa isang bar na lang gaganapin ang party since biglaan naman daw. No need for reservation na rin dahil magpaparty lang daw kami ng parang mga pangkaraniwang tao. Akala mo naman hindi sila tao. Now that I mention it. Naalala ko naman yung sinabi ni Lucas na kapatid ko yung kamukha ko. Palagi ko yun nakakalimutan. Hindi ko nga alam bakit hindi ako nagulat ng malaman ko na hindi ako tao, because I feel like more human than being a pandorian. I don't even have an ability. Kung abilidad na ang lumamon, malamang yun na yun."I can't go with the party Chief." Saad ko naman kay Chief kaya napatingin naman ang lahat sa akin. Naalala ko kasi si Cayden, baka kung ano na naman ang gagawin nun kung matagal akong makauwi. Kanina nga lang may pawalkout pang nalalaman. Kala mo babae kung makaasta eh."You must join August. This is the welcoming for your new member in Delta Team." Saad naman ni Chief in a stern vo
August's POVHindi ko na mabilang kung ilang beses na akong mapalunok. I glanced at Cayden and I saw how his jaws was clenched tightly. I can definitely tell that he doesn't like the guy, Vladimir. Pero may lalaki ba itong nagustuhan? Mukhang wala naman. Si Lucas lang ang kasundo nito dahil pinsan niya. Even franco and others before feared him."Were are you going?" Tanong nito sa akin.Mas lalong kinabahan ako dahil nagsalita ito. Hindi ko siya kilala personally. Ni hindi ko pa siya nakakausap, ngayon lang, so what the heck is he doing? His voice adds more chill. I don't know what the heck is with this man, but I don't feel him normally. Something is wrong with him."Who are you?" A bone chilling aura crawled down over my skin. I felt my hair raised and a chill down to my spine. I wonder if Vlad did felt that."Who are you?" Balik tanong nito and his eyes sharpens like he sense something. It did not escaped my eyes."I am not oblige to answer your question. Get the fuck out of our wa
August's POV"Manang nasan si Draco?" Naitanong ko na lang kay manang Hilda. Ilang araw na kasi na hindi ko nakikita si Cayden mula ng mangyari yun. I was mad at him pero namimiss ko din siya at the same time."Ah August... palaging may lakad si Sir Draco. Madaling araw na umuuwi at umaalis naman kaagad." Sagot naman ni Hilda sa akin habang nagtitimpla ito ng kape.Maaga ako ngayon dahil papunta akong HQ. "Ah, ganun ba? Wala bang nasabi kung anong ginagawa niya?" Tanong ko rito.Ngumiti naman si Hilda sa akin. "August naman, hindi ugali ni Sir Draco na magsabi kung ano ginagawa niya. Mas mabuting kayo na lang ang magtanong dahil alam kong sasagot yun." Sagot pa nito na may kasamang tudyo.I almost rolled my eyes. Eh kung ganun lang kadali, ginawa ko na. Pero ni anino nito hindi ko nakikita dito sa mansyon niya. Konti na nga lang iisipin ko na baka bumalik na yun ng Pandora."Aah.. sige manang mauna na ako." Paalam ko rito na hindi na pinatulan pa ang panunudyo."Magbaon ka na ng pagka
August's POV"So how can I help you?" My tone is like public relation officer talking to Nate. Kumukulo pa rin ang dugo ko dahil sa nasaksihan ko."Ahm, I would like to know if I can see you often?" He was smiling shyly which is really weird and even blushing. How could a criminal can blush like this?"And why is that?" I asked in an intriguing tone. Even though I already know these type of men, I will act still that I don't have a single idea."Would you walk away if I tell you..... I like you when I first time I laid my eyes on you?" He answered that even an ice will melt. "No, I think I am already in love with you."*blaaggh*Napalingon ako bigla sa kabila dahil sa malakas na tunog ng pagkabasag. Tumatahip pa nga ang dibdib ko sa gulat."Oh my god!" Takot na saad ng babae na kasama ni Cayden na ngayon ay halos pumulupot na kay Cayden. Their table was messed up. It was broken and their coffee was spilled all over. Agad na dumulog ang mga crew at tiningnan agad sina Cayden kung may
August's POVYou gotta be kidding me! Did he say what? He knows what I'm thinking or he can read what I'm thinking? Is that even normal? Oh hell, how can I even forget that he is not even normal at all. But since when? Wala naman akong napapansin dito o napapaghalataan na nababasa niya iniisip ko. O baka naman ginugoyo lang niya ako?"Are you shitting me? Ano ka? Si madam auring?" Sarkastikong sagot ko naman rito."I wasn't able to before love.... but time goes by, I learn to enhance my skill... and the frustration to know what you are thinking drove me insane. It made a breakthrough on reading your mind. Everyone's mind to be exact." Sagot nito sa akin na.What the fuck?"Believe it or not, but I can tell you are cursing in your mind right now."Double crap! How did it end up like this? Moment ago, nagkakasagutan pa kami and now, I am being revealed!"No you don't. You are just fishing!" Angil ko dito kahit yung totoo ay naniniwala na ako. I am trying to save my face and grace!"Why
August's POVThe car parked in front of the boutique. I released a heavy sigh. Mabuti na lang talaga at hindi nito itinuloy ang panakot nito kanina, dahil tiyak masisiraan ako ng bait. I still have a lot of things to do and I am not even finished with my duty today.Bumaba na si Cayden at akmang bubuksan ko na rin sana ang pintuan pero ayaw bumukas. Hala, bakit? But this is what I hate with these cars, hindi ako pamilyar sa mga button. But Cayden just swiftly open the door and I don't even know how was he able to. But I can see he is holding his car keys so maybe there is a button there that will let you lock and unlock the car from outside.Bumaba na rin ako. I can sense right away the noticeable glances of the bystanders. The girls are busy ogling with Cayden. I can't help myself but to glare at them pero hindi naman ako napapansin ng mga ito. Their focus is on Cayden alone."Love, I will pick you up later." Saad ni Cayden that made me snap out of my killer glares into those girls.
August's POVIt's been three years and everything fly so fast. I thought three years will take long but it turns out it feels like it's only a year. Within the three years, marami kaming pinagdaanan ni Cayden. Away-bati kami. Nagkakaselosan pero naaayos naman ang lahat. Our relationship is normal. Natural lang naman talaga na mag-away sa isang relasyon. No relationship is perfect. Only God is perfect.Napapangiti na lang ako habang nakaupo ako sa waiting room. Wearing my long wedding dress and holding the bouquet.My heart is rapidly racing. Finally, the day we will promise together to stand side by side and love each other the whole life comes."August, lalakad ka na..." excited na saad ni Gen sa akin mula sa pintuan. She's not one of the bride's maid dahil hindi nito maiwan ang anak na si Elizabeth."Thank you." Naisaad ko sa kanya at tumayo na ako.I walked towards the door which is slightly open and I can already hear the music that makes my heart twist.The day we metFrozen I h
August's POVI woke up and I can feel my body is in pain all over. Cayden was insatiable at ngayon ay ako nga ang nagdusa dahil sa ginawa ko. I provoked the beast in him. It was still painful but it is now tolerable. Hindi tulad noon una na halos umayaw na ako.Napatingin ako sa aking paligid and I didn't see Cayden. Maybe he's awake already at may ginawa lang. pasalamat ko lang din at hindi na ako nilagnat. Pero talagang naubos ang lakas ko kagabi dahil parang walang kapaguran si Cayden. Hinding hindi ko na talaga gagawin yun. Shit, not unless he will request it.😆I can't imagine myself how daring I was last night. Paanong nagawa ko yun? Saan ko kinuha ang kakapalan ng mukha ko kagabi? Ni hindi ko nga maimagine paanong natuto ako ng ganoon. Damn, I should not do something like that.Dahan dahan akong napatayo at parang nanginginig pa ang aking kalamnan. Peste, paano ba ako tatayo nito ng maayos? Pinilit kong makatayo. I am still naked pero hindi ko na yun naisip dahil gusto ko ng pu
August's POV"Let's go to my room." Yaya ni Cayden sa akin as he hold my hand tightly and giving me a piercing look like I'm gonna melt anytime.Biglang nakaramdam naman ako ng pagkataranta. I should not be trapped with Cayden inside a four cornered room! Kanina ko lang sinabi sa sarili ko na iiwasan ko na makasama siya kagaya ng ganito pero heto ako ngayon. Where is my principle?"Ah....I should be going to the guest room right now. I-I still have to study." Kinakabahan na saad ko. Iba kasi ang pakiramdam ko sa mga tingin ni Cayden. Even a girl like me knows what's the meaning of it."Your room is not the guest room. My room is your room, love." Parang wala lang dito ang pagkakasabi na parang sinabi lang na kain tayo. Like what the heck!Umiling naman ako na halos mabali na ata ang leeg ko. "Your room is not my room—""We'll sleep together—""—No! We can't!" Agad na tutol ko.Napakunot naman ang noo nito. "Why? This is not the first time we'll slept together so I can see there is not
August's POV"He's my father?" I asked incredulously. Sino ba naman kasi ang hindi? I just freaking saw this man as a God! Tapos malalaman ko na siya ang ama ko? Then what am I?"Yes. He is your father and beside him, is Mikaella. They are my friends but they are a normal mortals." Sagot ni Queen August pero napakunot noo na naman ako sa sinabi niya."Mortal?" I am referring with my father. I know he's not mortal. Imposibleng magkamali ako sa nakita ko and even Harithus, that cat brat confirmed that he's a God though I did not know that he's my father at that time."Yes. Your mother is mortal while your father is........a mortal as well." Sagot nito sa akin. I can even hint the delay of the answer when she spoke about my father."I see." Sagot ko na lang. I can feel that Queen Snow knows something but not willing to say anything about it. It is not my attitude to pry. I am contented with what I know about my parents, especially they are no longer here, so it really doesn't matter to k
August's POVMatapos kong makausap si Harithus ay hindi pa rin matanggal ang pagngingitngit ko sa batang yun. Wala bang nagturo ng kagandahan asal doon? Walang modo. Hindi marunong gumalang sa nakakatanda at higit sa lahat, feeling alam niya lahat. Eh mukha naman siyang pusa.Mukha na nga akong nagdadabog na naglalakad dito sa Campus dahil sa badtrip ko sa batang yun. Kung alam ko lang na tagumpay yung pagsubok ko na sinasabi niya eh di sana hindi ako nagsayanh mg luha ko sa kakaiyak. Akala niya nakakatuwang umiyak at masaktan pero wala pa lang dahilan ang mga yun. Hayop talaga ang batang yun. Kaya nga batang pusa yun kasi Hayop. Pero bigla naman akong tinawag ni Cayden na ikinalingon ko rito."Love? Is there something wrong?" Tanong nito. Naglalakad ito patungo sa akin. Medyo napatanga naman ako sa itsura nito. Nagpaputol kasi ito ng buhok. Nagreklamo kasi ako dahil tumatama sa mukha ko ang buhok niya noong.....basta yun na yun. Hindi ko naman inaasahan na ipapaputol niya ito. But h
August's POVIsang lingo din akong nagpahinga. The first three days was hell. Ang sakit umihi at maglakad. Palagi lang akong nakahiga dahil natatakot akong maimpeksyon. Hirap pa akong maligo dahil masakit siya kung hahawakan.Araw-araw kong sinisisi si Cayden at ang bakulaw naman ay todo alaga sa akin, bumabawi daw siya dahil siya daw may kasalanan. Tinatanggap nito lahat ng sama ng loob ko sa kanya dahil sa nangyari sa akin. Ang awkward pa tuwing chinecheck ako ng doctor dahil may kakaibang ngiti ito! Jusko, nakakahiya! Nakakahiya yung nagkasakit ka dahil dun!Hindi ako lumalabas ng kuwarto dahil sa kahihiyan. Ni hindi ako tumatanggap ng bisita. Kailangan ko munang kalimutan ang nangyari pero peste, paano ko makakalimutan yun kung ganoon ang impact sa akin? Forever na yun nakatatak sa utak ko.Buti na lang ngayon at hindi na siya masakit. Hindi na rin namamaga. I'm healed. I should avoid being alone with Cayden in a room. Dahil sigurado ako, since nasimulan na namin ito, masusundan a
August's POVI found myself lying on my bed with body and naked. Sa gulat ko sa mga pangyayari para akong naging manyika na hindi man lang ako nakapagreak noon binuhat na ako ni Cayden at pinatay ang shower!He kissed me hungrily at unti-unti ay natutugunan ko ang kanyang mga halik. His hands are all over touching and squeezing. His kiss went down to my jaw and then to my ear. This warm breathing is sending me tickles and at the same time is giving me a feeling of wanting more.I can feel his tongue tracing it. Then his kiss went to my neck. He's bitting and sucking my skin stubbornly. I don't have the will to stop him. Naramdaman ko na lang bigla na parang may tumutusok sa tiyan ko. Napakagat labi ko. I already have an idea of what is it. But fuck, mangyayari na ba? Is this it?I shuddered when his kiss went to my chest. He's licking and sucking both peaks while his hands are caressing them at the same time. I can already feel that I am wet below, but does it matter? I was wet in the
August's POVIlang araw na ba akong nagkukulong dito sa kuwarto? Hindi ako pumapasok sa klase. Genieva is sending me food dito sa room ko pero hindi kami nagkikita. I haven't seen them since I went back from my time travel. Hanggang ngayon ay hindi ko pa rin matanggap ang mga pangyayari.But should I continue living like this? I can already notice that I am starting to destroy myself. Is Cayden will be happy after risking and sacrificing his life to save mine and I wasted it just like that? I can even no longer cry with tears. I am crying but there are no longer tears coming out.The pain is still there and it's making me crazy. I don't even have the guts to go outside. I don't even have the guts to face everyone. How can I face them if I am the reason why Cayden is no longer around? I can't still stop myself from blaming. I was given a chance to change the future but I wasted it. I wasted it because of some selfish reason.There are lots of messages and missed calls on my phone that
August's POVMabilis akong gumalaw ng makita ko ang paglapit ni Alucard sa sarili kong nakaraan. I saw how they clashed swords. Walang malay si Clint at patuloy pa rin ang iba sa pakikipaglaban. I saw how Alucard intentionally made him stabbed by me. Naningkit ang aking mga mata.Ibig sabihin ay hindi ko siya nasaksak sa sarili kong kakayanan dati. It was fucking intentional! He purposely made his defense open para masaksak ko siya.I saw how he fell to the ground and I saw how myself left his body thinking he's already dead. It was just part of his scheme. From the very beginning it was already plotted. Sinadya ni Alucard talaga na isipin ko na patay na siya para maisagawa niya ang kanyang balak.Napalingon na lang ako ng narinig ko ang tili ni Genieva."August!"I saw how I stabbed King Laurent and how his sword pierced in my stomach. I saw how they went pale seeing me in that situation. Agad na bumitaw si Cayden kay Augusta at nilapitan ako."August, stay awake. Please... please...
