August's POV"Hhmm... I already packed my things." I answered awkwardly. You know, hindi kami close nito eh and he doesn't even talk to me before tapos biglang kakausapin ako nito at nag-offer pa na tulungan ako. Hindi ko alam kung may sapi ba ito o kinulam.Lumabas na ako sa dining room ng dumating si Vladimir. Nagawa ko naman magpaalam sa dalawa kahit labas yun sa ilong. I was too consume with confusion why Vladimir was like this. Hindi naman siya ganito dati. He was like a solo man. I don't even know why did he even called me like we are some kind of friends. Nagulat talaga aki kanina and I was really taken a back."You might be wondering why I talked to you suddenly. It was my job before not to talk to you and distant myself. Sorry about that, but now since my job is done and we will be going to the same school, I need at least one friend there." Paliwanag nito kahit hindi ko naman tinanong. Maybe I was that too readable for him to know what am I exactly thinking."You don't have
August's POVNakasakay na kami sa isang limousine patungong Volks Academy. Magkatabi kami ni Misha sa upuan and she's actually playing mobile legends kaya ako nanonood lang dito at pinapanood kung ano ang mga items na kinukuha niya. She's actually using Kimmy na isang marksman. It had a weird gun na walang tigil sa paglalabas ng bala.I can say she's good on handling the hero at mukhang alam na alam niya kung paano gamitin ito."Can anyone tell me why we are riding a car when there is a portal?" Tanong ni Dani sa amin kaya napatingin naman kami dito lalo na kami ni Misha.Ako, si Cayden, Lucas, Misha, Vladimir and Dani ang magkasama sa loob ng sasakyan. I tried to ignore the fact that they are sitting together. So I diverted my attention on watching Misha playing ML mas nasasaktan lang ako kung titingin ako sa kanila."You can take the easiest route if you like." Sagot naman ni Lucas but he did not answer the question."I know I have that option but I am wondering why choose this? We
August's POVI was sleeping soundly when the annoying voice of Misha woke me up. It was like a screeching sound of bird and it annoys the hell out of me. I was frowning and ready to throw a fit pero naunahan na niya ako."Bumangon ka na! Magsisimula na ang welcome party doon sa auditorium." Saad sa akin ni Misha and I can see she's ready as well. She's just wearing a simple jeans and a tshirt, nothing special but she's ready. Unlike me, I am in my night dress.Tumagilid na lang ako bago nagsalita. "I don't have plans on joining so please spare me." Saad ko na lang at pumikit ako ulit. Pero ang makulit na si Misha ay niyugyog pa talaga ako kaya napamulat ako ng mata na asar na asar. Parang gusto ko na itong sapakin sa asar. Ayokong talaga yung naiistorbo ako sa tulog ko."Dani is waiting outside our room. Nakakahiya na paghintayin yung tao." Saad pa nito.Napataas naman ang kilay ko sa sinabi nito. Pakialam ko kung naghihintay si Dani? Hindi ko naman siya inutusan na maghintay. But I c
August's POVI was swallowed by my own desire as the kiss went deep. Pakiramdam ko ang lahat ng sakit na naramdaman ko ay nawala bigla. The kiss continue as I can feel his body is already grinding on me. Pakiramdam ko ay kakapusan ako ng hininga pero unti-unting bumagal ang halik nito hanggang sa naging dampi na lang.I am still catching my breath when he leaned on me and whispered something."Please don't cry. I'm sorry.... I'm sorry..." dinig kong bulong niya na halos hangin na lang yun sa pakiramdam ko.My eyes are closed because they are useless because of the darkness. Lumandas ang aking mga luha dahil sa narinig ko and seconds later I felt the light went on again. I slowly opened my eyes and expecting to see the person I wanted to see the most.But he's gone.No trace on him kaya napalinga linga ako sa magkabilang dako pero wala akong makitang ibang tao. What was that? I know that was real.... was it? Was that real? Was that only part of hallucination? A dream? But I felt it! Bu
August's POV"Miss Aragon, sino ang hari ng mga orcs?" Tanong ni Sir Gus sa isa kong kaklase.King Laurent. I wanted to answer pero hindi naman ako ang tinawag."King Laurent, Sir." Sagot naman nito kaagad na siguradong sigurado na."Who killed King Laurent?" Tanong ulit nito and his eyes are sweeping around us.Me. This is stupid. Parang nananadya itong si Sir Gusion. Pakiramdam ko buhay ko ang inuungkat nito. This is definitely about the great war between Pandorian and Orcs."August White Sir..... and the Elites." Sagot ng isang babae at napatingin naman sila sa akin. "But according from the book, August White was killed as well by king Laurent." Pahabol pa nito.Napabaling naman ang tingin ko sa ibang direksyon. I think I know now when this topic will go. A big possibility that they will talk about me and my death. They will ask things about me na siyang ayoko ko sa lahat."But as we can see, the person who killed the King of the Orcs is alive. Since the great war, we are taught th
August's POV"Ganito pala ang pakiramdam kung kasama ka. Pakiramdam ko pinagtitinginan ako ng lahat ng tao dito." Komento naman ni Tonet at halatang naiilang ito masyado dahil sa mga mapanuring tingin na binibigay ng mga estudyante sa kanya.I don't like these type of people na parang kinain na ng crab mentality. I can clearly see the expression on their faces. I can tell that they are on spite looking at Tonet. Can't they just mind their own business? Mas mabuti pa nga dati dahil walang nakikialam sa akin masyado though I experience this treatment as well. I just can't believe that this type of mentality is still existing after all those years."Just ignore them Tonet." Saad ko na lang kay Tonet at dire-direcho na kami patungo sa cafeteria.Pagkapasok namin sa loob ay maraming tao doon sa loob na nakaukupa sa lamesa at ang iba naman ay naglalakad. It is just natural dahil lunch time ngayon. But it is a good thing that they have a lot of staff and the serving of the food is faster tha
August's POV"Talaga bang tutuloy ka? Hindi mo ba nakita yung mukha ni Prince Cayden? Pero kunsabagay hindi ko rin maintindihan kung bakit siya ganun." Turan sa akin ni Tonet dahil inaayos ko na ang mga gamit ko pagkatapos namin sa klase namin na Weapon at combat. This class runs 3 hours dahil combined na ang dati na dalawang magkahiwalay na subject."As if naman makikinig ako sa taong yun. Tsaka baka importante ang sasabihin si Sir. Hindi yun mapipigilan ng walang kadahilanan ni Cayden." Sagot ko rito at kinuha ko na ang bag ko pagkatapos kong maiayos ang mga gamit ko. "Sige punta na muna ako kay Sir.""Sige hintayin na lang kita rito. Kailangan ko din na tapusin ito." Saad naman ni Tonet na tinutukoy ay assignment namin sa weapon and combat class.Tumango na lang ako at lumabas na. Mamaya ko na gagawin yung assignment namin dahil madali lang naman yun. But maybe for Tonet is not. Sanay na ako sa mga weapon and combat. This subject is easy as pi.Naglakad na ako patungo sa office ni
August's POV"Nandito na pala ang uniform natin? Inihatid dito?" Tanong ko kay Misha dahil nakikita ko ang isang uniform na nakahanger at ang isa naman ay nakabalot pa sa plastic. Hindi ko alam na naideliver pala kahapon ang uniform. Hindi na kasi ako nag-abalang tumingin sa mga gamit ko. Bastang naligo na lang ako, gumawa ng assignment at natulog.Ni hindi ko na nagawang kumain kagabi dahil hindi ko alam pero pagod ako. Malamang dahil sa mga nangyari kahapon at hindi ko lang napansin."Oo, dumating ako dito at dala yan ni Dani. Hindi ko akalain na siya pala ang student council president. Ni hindi man lang niya sinabi sa atin." Sagot naman nito sa akin. Nakasuot na ito ngayong ng uniform namin. She's wearing the white long sleeve university collar, black necktie and black skirt na hanggang sa kalahit ng hita ang haba. The skirt is pleeted at it really looks good on her."The uniform looks good on you." Komento ko rito."I know right but I am sure mas bagay sayo to. Mas mahaba ang bint
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...
