All Chapters of Moth On The Flame: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Alas Prian's Point Of View She is like a beautiful flame that shines every day and night, and I was like a naive moth who keep on lingering around the corner tempted to touch her. She is like a forbidden fruit in the garden of Eden, and I'm the fool Adan who tempted to have a taste of her. Although I know the consequence of my foolishness, I still dare to cross the path between us. And I'm more than willing to die a martyr for the love that I had for her."She's a Dela Huerta, Alas"I frown when I heard what Sideros told me. I'm aware of that fact, but what can I do? Cupid hit me so hard. I was like a fucking moth who's so tempted to touch a fire, and Elizabeth Lemonine Dela Huerta is a fire that could burn me alive and yet I still want her. Putangina lang pero gustong gusto ko siya, kahit na alam kung ako mismo ang papaso sa sarili ko kapag sinubukan kong malunod sa kanya."You have been warned by Priam, Abuelo wou

A surprise was evident on their faces, halatang nagulat sila dahil sa biglaan kong pag pasok at pag sabat sa kanilang usapan. I know it's rude to interject on their conversation but I just can't stand there knowing na baka mauwi sa away ang mainit nilang sagutan. I look at the two when they didn't utter a word, so instead of forcing them to answer me- I stretch my lips into a smile. "Dad didn't force me Kuya, everything is fine with me. As matter of fact, I am happy because I'm finally living with you all" I smilingly said to assure my brother that everything is fine with me. Dad suddenly claps his hand na kinagulat ko and then he laughed. "See? Your sister understands me more than you understand me Redniz" he said proudly and walk towards my direction spreading his both arms "Come here my daughter, give your father a hug" he said to me while smiling. I suddenly felt a genuine happiness when I saw his smile and move my feet to approach him. Ni

"Curious, curious about how beautiful you are," he said that made me stunned on my spot.The wind blows and time seems to stop for a second as I felt his intense stare at me. My lips parted a bit surprised with his reason. I blink my eyes and slowly a genuine smile form on my lips amused with him.I mentally laugh. I didn't know it was my fault."Tara na sa loob Eline" Nana Rita suddenly said and held my arm that pulled me back to my senses.I slowly nod my head and let Nana guide me as we walk inside the house. I didn't look back, but my mind wanders on its own."Do you know those young men Nana?" I query while we're walking upstairs."Hindi ko nga masyadong familiar dahil madilim. Pero malalagot talaga sa akin ang mga yun kapag inulit pa nila" may bahid nang inis na sabi niya making me laugh softly."Kuya Red and Kuya Vinzon was like that too when they were still at my age. I still can remember- Dad send Kuya Red to Spain to ground

"Alam kong gwapo ako" he arrogantly remarks "Pero iba naman ang mukha ng gwapo sa mukha ng mabait. Hindi naman ako mukhang mabait, Binibini" he speaks grinning from ear to ear.I step back and tilt my head eyeing him intently. My gaze transfixed to his face and I mentally nod my head. Yes, he's indeed a handsome guy that is oozing with sex appeal. His eyes, his nose, his jawline, and his lips- they are all perfectly combined. Kahit na medyo madilim ang kinatatayuan namin, his good looks still visible in my eyes na para bang hindi yun kayang takpan ng dilim. Funny- he's the first man I praise like this.Hindi naman siya mukhang mabait, as a matter of fact, he looks so bad actually. His badass look is kinda intimidating but I find him more attractive because of it.I smile at him again "You don't look kind, but you also don't look like someone who had a bad intention or something " I suppose ignoring his teasing smirk.Amusement dance in his eyes and the co

I smile at the lady who greeted me when I step out of the room. I puffed out a breath and check the time on my wristwatch. Operation Management is my last subject for today because my professor in my Philippine History subject had an emergency that's why the class was canceled this morning. It's still 4:54 in the afternoon, 6 more minutes before 5. I still have enough time to pass my case study report on one of my major subjects. Hinawi ko ang ilang hibla ng buhok ko sa mukha and then I start walking while I'm hugging the folders I'm holding. I did my very best to avoid those stares that are fixed on me. I pretend as if I didn't notice them, it's better in that way. Dahil kung lilingunin ko sila, they would just look away and pretend as if they didn't look at me. As I said, most students here in Velonzon are aloof and distant to me. I don't know why, as far as I can remember- I'm always approachable and kind to everyone. Yung iba naman bumabati sa akin but they never
