Third Person's POVClandestine was looking painfully and full pity of the girl in front of him who's crying her heart out because of the dead man lying in front of her. Nasasaktan si Clandestine dahil sa inaasam-asam niya na pagtatagpo ng kanyang anak na si August ay ganito pa ang nangyayari. He was hoping to see her other half, pero mukhang imposibleng mangyari yun dahil hindi din siya magtatagal. Meeting one of the twins is enough.He only has few minutes to see August and talk to his daughter. His daughter who he never met dahil namatay din siya ng nabuntis si Mikaella. The existence of the twins inside Mikaella's womb made his destiny changed.When Snow recreated the world, hindi namatay si Clandestine. Subalit ay naibalik siya sa kalangitan at sumailalim sa isang paglilitis. Muntik na siyang ipatapon sa walang hanggang kadiliman kung saan ay wala siyang makakasama at makakasalamuha. Pero, nagulat na lang siya ng ipinagtanggol siya ni Snow. Pansamantalang naibalik din si Snow sa k
August's POV"You just said we cannot bend the law of nature. Ano yan sinasabi mo ngayon?"Nakataas kilay na tanong ko rito. Malinaw sa akin ang sinabi nito at hindi ko yun nakalimutan. It was slapped on my face how he said it. Kaya naisip ko na pinaglalaruan lang niya ako."I cannot, but we cannot just ignore the law of magic. Your wish made you come here and that is to change the past. Even the law of nature cannot be bend, but the law of Magic will be able to bend it. But it doesn't mean ay matutulungan kita. Nasa sayo yan, kung malalagpasan mo ang pagsubok." Paliwanag nito sa akin.The law of nature can be bended by the law of magic. Dahil ba sa hiniling ko ay may pag-asa? Pero hindi nga ako sigurado kung alin ang babaguhin ko. Sigurado ako na ang pagkamatay ni Cayden ang numero unong gusto kong baguhin. Pero hindi ko alam kung saan magsisimula. Paano ko mapipigilan ang pagkamatay ni Cayden kung nakatakdang mapatay siya ni Alucard? "Ano ba ang pagsubok na yan?"Tumingin siya sa a
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...
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 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 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 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 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 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
