“To the East!”
“To the West!”
There’s a crease on my518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcmLIQXYii
forehead, I can vividly tell. Who would’ve not had such confusion if your one518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4RLmCpnrf
and only company is opposing the map? Exasperation expelled out of my breath.
“That rectangular paper isn’t reliable,518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAWW4vdXs7
believe me.” Arms crossed anterior the chest, he had vented the statement with518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpRRCZ6tk3
whole confidence.
“How come that thing survives518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2P4QBmzlF
on your pocket? Don’t just brag that it has a cover to resist water.”
“And besides, who still uses518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpuRWkIc0o
that thing? Come on, this thing is much more updated.” Subsequent was a quadrate518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV01uMcYrYt
mobile phone shown before my face. With an automatic reaction, I rolled my518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGH5ZVIZGw
eyes.
“Right, not to mention that518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NpeeCTNQd
this place catches no communication network. Who knows if that still works from518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hHljFnij6
the massive water earlier. Brilliant.”
“Oh shoot, thanks for518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqcn79ihV7
reminding.” He smiled, and a deep crate had become visible on his cheeks. Asset,518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH1nHSAn2S
one of his assets.
“But at least just trust me518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVodXQJrkD
about directions. I believe I can make myself familiarize with the path.” He518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNwMf3Fw0k
added but this time with no arrogance, instead with sincerity.
“Whatever. Just please! Just518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8usvS4yY7
please make sure you were right this time.” I made the vexed face still. But with518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBqia1VfKL
just few seconds, my annoyance had rapidly turned into surprise as soon as I518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpphie1xhN
was lifted from the grounds.
“Hey! Bring me down!” To518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T6230xqFp
tagged as a child throwing tantrums is out of my concern anymore for I believe518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkje3RPaQu
that it is impossible for someone to reside into this. We’ve took a long pace518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKngKWLnrj
already from the squad. And primarily, if there’s someone to be blame, it is518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWYkvG9L4x
me. I made him get lost with me inside this unsure woodland.
“You’re still soaked, you got518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDDvPz3Yfy
bruises and I can tell that you’re not able to make fifty steps anymore from518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet8I5iu0Xu
the trembling of your legs. Stop nagging anymore and just utter your gratitude,518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWEzSmX6u7
I’ll surely appreciate it.” From every words he conveyed, I can definitely feel518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJHcFuJKAM
the heaving on his broad chest to where my hands were resting. Screw it, he had518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJQjbuYYCL
made my hands clasp together inches below his neck to attain the piggy-back518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzFf9jIl1n
position.
“I’m sorry.” A soft utterance flees518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo1kQsdgro
from my mouth. I sulk my face on his back to hide my reaction even though there’s518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsMAuti5HJ
zero chance of him witnessing it.
“Shh. It’s not your fault. You518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaUIjrO3EM
were just confused after waking up from the tent assuming that everybody left.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbTgKLgi1D
You looked for us everywhere and ended up seeing me, doing uhm- unnecessary thing.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBSaES1CyH
To your surprise you fell to that immense waves of river and of course, as your518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH9gWdd3Oh
very best friend, I’ll undoubtedly rescue you.” I remained silent. I am looking518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aLXszDQZL
for the room of sarcasm to his voice but there’s none. Knowing Bryson, he’ll518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSvnX0rpfM
continually insult, tease and mock me. Or at least he will first, before518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVNTnPhhH9
proceeding to such genuine statement. We’ve survived our friendship with that518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzZlXDzUlX
kind of setup. Mockery before apology.
“But you should’ve remained518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIB70uyFuG
still.”
“Chasse, stop. No one was to518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz2EiACsU7
be blame.”
This time, I removed my face518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACRIuyzGg2
from sulking on his back and let my eye roam on the environment. Hence, it stopped518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnstgMIf7BK
immediately on the left side of his torso. Although the sky is getting dusky,518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM0LV7fFEz
my eyes can clearly perceive the wounded part.
“You’re bleeding!”
“Huh?”
“You’re wounded! Damn Bryson,518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCWLLSEa7Z
you should’ve told me. Bring me down, now! I’ll treat that first.” Fortunately,518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYLNF7pV1U
he didn’t make any more defiance and made me land back on the ground.
“I think it bled the moment518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsPPkqFu23
you carry me.
Undress yourself.”
“C-Chasse, I’m not read— “
“Cut the bullshit Bry.” I said518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNy1pbHJOk
and tore the lower part of my black shirt that was slightly ripped from the518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe1k0aHNKu
accident earlier.
“Woah, we’ve been friends for518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6onag0lOZ
fifteen years and this is the first to see you getting wild.” Dimples on cheek518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZMHacdVox
is waving again to me.
“I always thought you are not518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMOoQVWtav
interested to men. You didn’t even settle a gaze to those jerks eyeing on you518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Njnb6SLDn
on the campus. You even told me that you’ll not marry anyone. And what again?518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2CTXsF2pA
You haven’t fell for anyone yet? Ha! Joke’s on you Chasse, never thought that518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJagFxHc34U
you’ll fell for— “And I hit him, on the head.
“You’re the death of me,518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqDZFuMfAD
seriously. Do you really want to treat me”? He protested but followed with518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRH15iW3wX
chuckle thereafter. I didn’t pay much notice on his statement and started to518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cV3ajTs2V
treat his wound, stopped the bleeding by applying pressure and then covered it518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR3T5QjJT4
with the cloth I ripped.
I rid a deep sigh subsequently518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzCsu9szIl
closing my eyes with my head leaning on the near tree where we had decided to518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UVwK1fsBd
stop. I can slowly feel the cold touch of night from the breeze caressing on my518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMfWNmi5XQ
dermis. But with just a minute, warmth is now lingering before me. A scent of518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNdmaw6Dyr
mint is brushing on my face, so I made my eyes opened again.
I saw a deep enigmatic portal.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexMZ8mvSHJ
It is so deep enough to enchant me, enough to drain my whole soberness. The518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMCvwMUf4l
pair of hazel orbs were seeming to be communicating with my eyes. And with no518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BfryX3KPz
further explanation, I think, at some point, I was charmed.
“Chasse.” He’s leaning so near518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6dIy7SrdE
enough to presume that it was just an inch between us.
“Thank you.
Thank you for coming to my518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UyYZfn5H3
life. You’re the best thing that happened to me since age five.” His gaze is518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDJgl9yQNu
penetrating to my soul.
“Thank you for allowing me to518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAB8v5Gs6w
come on your life, for allowing to know you better and for spending memories518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG6RzoXzzV
with me. Chasse, you’re my treasure. You’re my precious gem, believe me.” The518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cgasjTIme
place is not magical, there are no fairies, no pixie dusts, but his words were518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3YVo0o0sa
enough for me to dance on the melody of enchantment. I chose not to answer518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YTmkyh7Mv
verbally hence I close the remaining gap between us to savor the rampaging518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IYi511bjN
feeling on my chest as I tasted his lips against mine.
I feel like exploding, from518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWRiLgq5ZE
this strange feeling I haven’t felt this ever since. It was just Bry, he who made518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSMiSMse4v
me feel every notable first of my life. It took ten seconds before he withdraws518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpZ9W7xASf
from the kiss.
“No, Chasse no. This is wrong.”
“Bry?”
“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4n3b2eDjO
brought you into this situation. I shouldn’t have made that kind of atmosphere.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQ2aQh2bjw
I shouldn’t have made- “
“Bry stop it!
Can’t you see? I-I want you. I518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavf237cS50
want you wholly in my life. Stop apologizing. I am starting to think that you’re518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LrPTSXYsX
sorry for kissing me.”
“No! I love that! Damn, you518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBFhmWLEbv
don’t know how much I like to kiss you all the time, you don’t know how much I518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf7iivRGQr
wanted to spend every second with you.”
“Then why? Why are you acting518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5mSf9Xqv0
like showing my feelings was the greatest mistake I’ve ever done?” Tears, there’s518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMKbEHiDGp
tears gushing now from my eyes.
“Eleanor.”
“Eleanor? My cousin?” The name518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLmzg3mogl
he mentioned feels like a bomb that’s now ticking inside my head. A nod was518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh98DNMnGeL
followed from him.
“Two weeks. She’s two weeks518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuirocjJkNJ
pregnant.” And from that moment, I think I lost my sanity. I felt jellies on my518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eGf1LHWW5
knees. And on my chest, it was so heavy that I just wanted to lie down on the518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHFk5Kx7Te
ground. This is the first that I made myself surrender to the notion of love.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTUZIVSeDO
This is the first that I entrusted myself into the feeling of romance. But why518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwaxPpKqkG
does it have to be chained so immediate with hurt? Was love supposed to be like518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLORTPRWxd2
this? Was love supposed to be this heart-breaking? All my life, I assumed that518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd33qjWee9
love was the very best one can feel. It’s always stated on novels. It was always518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc9HWtAAfE
stated by greatest authors.
I made my gaze to him firm as518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDF5mXVXpZ
possible albeit the streaming tears.
“Chasse, I’m really sorry.” This518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3HSA8SkVF
time, he’s also crying with knees now on the ground. Silence befell between us.
Bryson, I think I was the one518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmNeF0f6oH
who must be apologizing. I’m sorry If it took me time to realize about how I518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qOqcG6brL
feel. I’m sorry If I made you wait. I’m sorry If I keep on denying myself. I’m518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR7YZJlBDi
sorry, I’m too late.
I plastered a smile on my518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYzvgyWV1A
face.
“Thank you. Thank you for518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR2HJ564ez
allowing me to feel how to be in love for seconds.” I turned my back. It was a518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUE3oaZ1oz
genuine utterance.
“We should call it a day.”
“Chasse.”
“Bryson, forget what had518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh21j5KZDoN
happened.
Forget it, because I think I518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzsEc5x5T3
cannot do it. So please do that favor for me. And I’m glad. I’m glad to tell518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8vSEpWGap
that you’re my first love, I’ve no regret.”
You’re my first love and518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8A2qAHi4W
surely my last. It’s really a miracle that I’ve survived the huge current from518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsCtKf5g0p
the river earlier despite my condition. Maybe, maybe it was meant that you518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS7UdRB7rM
should know how I feel towards you, before it’s really too late. Before my own518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfWhJtnsyC
breath escaped my lips. Before the destined death visits me. I am glad to be in518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NqQbQiDSm
love even with seconds of my life.
