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 POVMy eyes were trained in the front lane and I was unable to move or relax even a bit. We left the boutique with a lot of confusion building up in my system. First, I don't even get why Cayden got overly mad with Vladimir. I know he is kinda weird but I don't see the point why Cayden acted like that. He even called Vladimir name that I could not even spell and pronounce again correctly. I am not even sure what was that. I don't even know if it's latin, english or french. What was that word again? Parang katunog yun ng sausage eh.And now I am in this freaking scenario where I feel so awkward at hindi ko nga makuhang magtanong kay Cayden dahil parang ano man oras ay sasabog ito. He's that mad dahil lang kay Vladimir at yun ang hindi ko maintindihan. The car's speed is like mad na akala mo siya may ari ng highway. Tumitigil nga lang ito pagstop light na, di na kilala nito ang slowdown. Di na rin ako magtataka kung ano man oras eh may humahabol na samin na mga pulis dahil sa o
August's POV"Hey! We need to go now. Come one!" Nagmamadali kaming pumasok sa isang van dito sa basement ng HQ.There was a sudden call and we need to infiltrate the hotel. There is an illegal trade that will happen in Century Peninsula Hotel. We are wearing black skin tight suit at pinatungan ko na ito ng isang black coat. It's already 10pm and the night has just started.Mabilis ang takbo ng van at agad kaming nakarating sa hotel at agad kaming nagsibabaan. I saw Vladimir with his usual cold expression na parang walang pakialam and it made me more curious."Okay, you know what to do August." Saad naman ni Jasper sa akin."Okay." Sagot ko at kinuha ko ang aking black tinted ray ban at isinuot yun."I'll do the infiltration from behind." Saad naman ni Vladimir. "Refrain from being caught."Bumuntong hininga ako bago sumagot. "I will try." Sagot ko na lang at naglakad na ako papasok sa Hotel. It is nit guaranteed na hindi ako mahuhuli. This mission is risky and Nate was surrounded wit
August's POVNakauwi na ako sa mansion. It is almost midnight dahil na traffic ako. My phone rang for the nth time but I did not answer the call. The call is just from one person that I am having second thoughts to confront.Cayden.I am contemplating what should I say to him and how would I approach him. Should I caught him in the act? Or should I ask him normally? Ni hindi ko alam paano gawin. Or should I watch dramas para makakuha ako ng ideya? Damn, arisgadong arisgado ako kanina tapos ngayon nababahag na ang buntot ko. Parang gusto ko na nga lang magkaamnesia para mawala na tong nararamdaman ko. Pumasok na ako sa mansion at sinalubong kaagad ako ni Hilda."August! Naku, kanina ka pa hinahanap ni Sir Cayden. Wala naman kami masabi sa kanya dahil ang alam namin nasa trabaho ka pa." Paliwanag kaagad ni Hilda. Based on her expression, she seems frightened. Is he mad right now?"Ah, yeah... I got a lot of works today so I did some overtime." Sagot ko na lang rito trying to neglect or
August's POVNakahinga naman ako ng maluwag ng mabasa ko ang mga impormasyon mula kay Misha. Nate was tailing me for safety purposes daw. Hindi ko naman alam bakit kailangan pa yun dahil wala naman kaming relasyon o kung ano. Mas lalong hindi naman kami magkamag-anak para madamay sa gulo niya kung sakali. Hindi naman lingid sa kaalaaman ko na marami itong mga kaaway.Chineck ko na rin ang ibang email ko at usually mga mails na galing sa advertisement o kaya naman mga bill statement galing sa mga gastos ko. Isinarado ko na ulit yun at napapanhik ako sa kama at humiga. Mas nakakabuti din itong umalis ako sa bahay ni Cayden. Alam ko, kaya niya ang sarili niya pero ayoko pa rin na masama o madamay siya sa gulo kung sakali. We don't know dahil kahit nga si superman na sobrang lakas, namatay pa nga."I miss you...." naisambit ko habang nakatitig sa kisame. Pero napukaw naman ang atensyon ko ng tumunog ang message alert ko. May nagtext. Binasa ko kaagad yun, sana naman wag GLOBE Rewards.Fro
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...
