"I see that you two were really getting along and getting close to each other."
I did not stop my smile from Sew because it was pretty obvious that what she said was right. And she knows that I have feelings for Jinx. She might now ask about it, but she already know from the start. It was just that she was so good noticing things.
"We have to, Sew. The feelings were mutual, you know," I shrugged my shoulder like it did not made my cheeks to blush.
She agreed. "Yeah, you have a good live life."
"Eh? We were not together yet!"
"But you will soon," she insisted and stood up from her seat. I was about to ask her about something when she turned to me and said, "I will look for my man."
My lips parted when she last say that then headed outside the unit. I know she will be out because of her work but I could not believe she said about her love life. I could not believe it!
I texted Jinx because I was bored. I just finished my class and earli
I just knew I should not rush everything, especially when it comes to love. Love should not be rushed because it can wait. It could not be your top priority when you are facing a challenges and was removing the barriers that was blocking your path of life. We just chose to do things that will be the best for us, not that will make you drown. I drink all the water in my container after running long miles in an oval. Yeah, I ran around so I could have new lifestyle. I did not like it when I will just stay still and will not do something to have healthy life and body. "Hey, you were so sweat, I have my hankie with me." I smiled when I heard Jinx's voice from behind. I turned my body to him and arch my brows. "Why are you here?" I asked with a hint of a tease. "I just saw you while I am across, is there something wrong with that?" "No, there is really no something wrong. I find it nice, I have been looking for you also." "A
"What do y-you mean with that?" I asked, stuttering.What Fin has whispered at me really made my body to shiver. I could feel the cold ran through my system, through my spine. I hate the feeling because it sends and eerie one. I hate it that way."What do you m-mean, Fin?" I asked, voice were shaking more. My heart were beating so fast and I could hear it out my chest. I hate the mere sound of it, especially that it was Fin who was scaring me."Nothing, just run before it's too late."When I heard that and I saw him grin, my feet automatically moved even though I felt so weak. I know I could not run away, I know that, but I will still try, the best that I can. I will run, I will save my life.Someone has raised me. Two person helped me out of the shits. And I do not like to make their efforts for me be wasted.Be wasted just because of this man that was crazy about things and legacy of the Xander's.I started to walk down even though
"How does it felt like having a partner?" I asked myself. I opened my eyes in shock. My eyes and mouth widened as my heartbeats started pacing. Damn it! Did I just asked about being in a relationship? For real? No way, I was just dreaming! I would not be hunger just for a man! I will not rush having a partner! I shook my head, convincing myself that my mind will be stable, soon. But damn it, someone ruined it again. He mess with my mind. "Gosh, get out of my mind, can you?" I heaved a sigh and shook my head again. I should focus on doing one thing. Not this someone mess with it. I find it unfair. I stared at the paper while holding a pen. I am a bit tired of studying and I had to fresh my mind out. My lips slowly formed a smile when a thought came across. I stared more at the paper and winked. I want to write down his name here and so I did. I was like an idiot girl writing down the name of her crush. And gosh, I was smiling from ear t
He always do things that he says, and I love him that way.Just like what he said, he will get me after he study. I was still talking to his cousin when he held my hands, making me stood up. He did not even say nothing to his cousin that was grinning and just dragged me off there like a bad boy."Hey, are you jealous?" I asked him with my pursed lips. Lately, he just look so fine but now, it was scary. He was too serious while looking at the road. We were walking towards his car."You look enjoyed with him," he said in monotone. I stared at his face and stopped myself from laughing out loud. Is he serious? Well, he looks but does he sound?"Because he was funny to be with," I responded with my creased brows and looked away from him. Damn this."Yeah, and I am not?""No, you are also funny to be with. Why? Is there something wrong if I will laugh with other men? You know, we were not in the relationship but you act like we were."He st
I could hear my heartbeats beating so loudly and fast. It was like it would not stop from pumping just because what this man asked me. I did not even see that coming!The cold gentle breeze pass through us, our hairs was pulled aside because of it but that did not stop us from staring at each other. I just want to stare at him the whole time, or even for the lifetime.I would not get tire appreciating him."So, what?" he asked while we were staring to each other. His eyes... His eyes were different right now. It was like begging to get a nice and great answer, and I saw hope in it. That eyes... I would love to stare at it... forever.I cleared my throat and was about to look away from him when he held my chin and made me look up at him, again. He would not let my eyes spill to another. He was so selfish. He just want me to stare at his eyes this time, but after all, I love how being selfish he was. I want to be trapped by him and be forced to just love hi
"I heard you were now together?"I nodded at Sew. "Yup, why?"She smiled. "Congratulations to the both of you. I hope you will not get tired loving each other, Astra. I hope the best for you."I felt something warm inside me when I saw how happy she really was for me and Jinx. I could see the happiness in her eyes. The way it shines. But I was shock when I saw the tears forming on it. Why? Why was she going to cry? "Hey, don't cry..""I am sorry, it was just that, I am happy to the both of you. I will support you until the end," she said while wiping her tears on her cheeks. I went near her to wipe her tears. I do not want to see her cry. "It was just a tear of happiness, Astra. Do not react like I was hurt or something."I sighed. "Thank you for the support, Sew. But please, do not cry even just a tear of joy. I felt sorry."She chuckled and shook her head. As usual, we were inside the unit. She has no time to go with us outside to ha
"Wow, what place is this?"I roamed my eyes around while amazement were written all over my face. It was like a palace this time. He brought me here. I did not even know what place is this! There were trees from each sides and a semi-palace house over. It was like their mansion but the differences was it was a small type while Jinx' was very huge. It was beautiful and very nice.Jinx held my hands. "This was the place where mom and I used to go to. Did you like it here?"I nodded my head. "Of course, it was beautiful."He smiled. "Let us go inside?"I walked with him towards the small house. There were only few people around and I wonder how did that happened. This place was too good and nice to not be visited."Why there were only people, Jinx?" I asked him with curiosity."It was limited here."I looked at him accusingly. "You always bring me to the place or park that has limited people. Am I right?"He snorted.
I could feel my nervousness and my heart were beating so fast. I did not know what would happen this night. I just wish that this will be over as soon as I can bear because I might collapse here, in front of Mister Adonis and madame Lucia. Damn it.When Jinx asked me about the dinner, I have no choice but to face them. I had to respect them because they were the parents of Jinx. I should and must respect them. They were a parent and they did not deserve to be escaped from.I stopped my hands from shaking and pretended that I was okay here.I will be fine."So, would you tell me if you really love my son?" Madame Lucia asked while raising her brows. I gulped. Jinx was about to say something when I stopped him.I want him to stop from defending me. I will be better. I want to face a challenges alone, because he will not be always here beside me for a support. No one would stay forever."Astra," Jinx warned me but I just smiled at him. I then t
"I am so happy for the both of you!"My lips automatically formed a smile as Jinx's father embraced me. We just had a dinner together. I am beyond grateful to everything. That even after years that we did not talk, nor any connections, we still have the closeness we had before. I am not saying that we're too close that could bond or hangout together, it was just that we were cool since then."Thank you," I whispered to him and let go. Jinx just gave me a sweet smile. All he did in the midst of the dinner is to stare at me. Even if his father asks him, he will answer with his eyes on my face. I really stopped myself from kicking his ass off. He is kind of annoying."Maybe I will now leave the both of you here," Mister Adonis said. I was the one who requested for a dinner, a short dinner. I am thankful that he also want us to bond with his son. But of course, he has a work so he could not stay here long. He excused himself
"Hey, good thing and you are already awake." I stared at nothingness while I feel nothing. I moved my right hand to see if I am still alive and good thing I still could feel myself. I just feel nothing, really. I do not have to look who was beside me who talked because from the tone of the voice, I knew that it was Jinx. I felt myself lying on a soft mattress, and I am inside a room that is not familiar to me. Where am I? "Here, drink some water," Jinx handed me a glass of water. I tried to get it but my hands were too weak to reach for it. I gulped hard. My throat already needs water because it was getting dry. Jinx, then, stood up to guide me sit on the bed and lean against the headboard. "Here, drink it." Good thing he made me drink it with his right hand holding the glass, while his other hand gently held my chin to guide me. I gulped the water quite fast because I really am getting thirsty as seconds pass by.
"But you can't marry me," I slowly uttered and looked away from him.He really can't marry me because he was already married. He shouldn't be saying these things to me. I will just feel bad to her wife."How do you say?" he asked in monotone. He tried to hold my chin to make me look at him but I did not let him. I stared still at nothingness, away from his eyes. "How do you say, Astra? Give me a reason.""Because you are already married," I snorted. "How can you marry someone when another woman already owned you? You were cheating?"He stayed silent for a moment not until I heard his chuckles. My brows creased in annoyance and looked at him sharply. Why is he laughing? He is making fun of me? Seriously? This time? This situation?"Married?" he grinned. "You think I am married?"I pursed my lips into a thin line and slowly nodded my head. "You really are marri
"Do you want to go with me visit mom and dad?"Cine and Val nodded their head to me. My lips then automatically formed a smile. It will be nice if we, sisters, Faye, Cine and Val will go together and visit our parents in the cemetery. It will be a family bond."I will go and guard you guys," Simon interfered and forced a smile. We did not complained at it, though. He wants us safe. He did not want something bad to happen to us. We were thankful that Simon did not leave our side even how hard it is to manage his time for work. He should have already focus himself to the work but he insisted to still guard us. Something bad might happen, he says. But we all hope that there is none."Yeah, I will, too," Jinx appeared all of a sudden. I thought he went off for an important matter? Why is he here?"Alright, we're all done. Let's go?" Faye smiled to us. We all nodded and headed outside the house. We used S
"I am sorry to all the things I did."I want to slap him from 360 degrees because of anger. What? He will just say that after everything? It is easy for him to apologize like everything he did will just fade away just because of his word "sorry? That everyone he got hurt will be healed easy when he will say sorry to them? That everything will be fine with just a sorry?i looked at Fin with my raging eyes while he just looked down. "You have the guts to think that everything will be fine with just your damn sorry? Rot in hell!""Astra," Jinx warned me but I did not listen to him. I pointed fin with my index finger and I gritted my teeth."I will promise that you will live in the prison forever. You will have your last breathe inside the jail."I thought he will shut himself but suddenly, he looked up at me with a grin on his face. "Yes. I prefer live here. World is t
"How is Fin?" I asked Jinx while I am busy staring at nowhere. I want to know where he is now. I just want to hear the place where he belongs to. The place where he must suffer and pay the bad things he did.He sighed and looked at me. "He was already sent to the prison."I pursed my lips and nodded my head. "Good to hear that."He stared at me for a moment and all I did is to look away from him. He was like trying to read me. Trying to know what I am thinking. I really felt awkward when he tries to stare at me because it sent me a different feeling I could not define. It really is annoying when he look at me like that. It was nostalgic."Do you want to visit him and talk to him?" he asked and sat on the chair far away from me but facing me.I answered him without looking at him, "Yes, I want to." I want to make him realize how evil he is. That he did so many bad th
"Thank you for coming..."Jinx just threw me a glance and say nothing. He kept on driving his car as fast as he could to get away from the place where Fin planed to kill me. From the place of nightmare. The place where I think that was already my last breathe. The place of devil.My hands were shaking so bad because or nervousness and fear at the same time. I do not know how to calm myself. The mere thought of myself fighting for my life is already making my system weak. The thought of Fin planning to murder me was like already killing me. The thoughts were making my heart break into pieces.It hurts.Since I was in the womb of my mother, I was already blamed. Someone is already mad at me even though I was not born yet. That even if I have no knowledge about their anger, my individual has. I did nothing. I was still a very innocent child when they put all of their anger towards me.
"You have the heart to know everything?"Even if I am afraid, I have to know everything. Even if I know that my heart could not take it, I have to bear with it. It sucks. The thought of not knowing the truth while you on the other hand were the one who is suffering in pain and agony because of the blame that people throw towards you."Yes, I have," I said bravely. I have to show him that I am not afraid at all. That I have the guts to accept everything. To know the truth. I have to know everything. I am in the center of the blame and so I have the rights to fucking know the freaking truth. I am in the midst of blame and I cannot even escape from it. I was stuck and I can only get off after I get through the barrier and challenges.His lips automatically formed a devilish grin. "Waste time to know the truth before you will die?"When I nodded my head with no hesitation, the expression of his face chan
I didn't know what happened next.I just found myself in a dark room where I see nothing but darkness alone. I didn't know how I get here. I do not know where I am. It was like, I was in my highway to hell. I felt like, this is my last.I tried to move, but I cannot.My hands were freaking tied!Where the hell I am?! How did I fucking get here?!I sighed heavily in anger. I then closed my eyes as the door from nowhere swung open. The bright light hit my eyes and face and so I have to not see it so it wouldn't hurt my eye.The hell. Am I in a horror movie?"You're now awake." A voice lurks in every corner of the room. I gulped as I had goosebumps. The voice is so... creepy. "How is your sleep, Astrallaine?"When I opened my eyes, a man standing amidst the light welcomed my eyesight. His face isn't clear to my view, but
