“To the East!”
“To the West!”
There’s a crease on my590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTwyNqi5aH
forehead, I can vividly tell. Who would’ve not had such confusion if your one590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkOpvJDIN6
and only company is opposing the map? Exasperation expelled out of my breath.
“That rectangular paper isn’t reliable,590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJzyXGOuqO
believe me.” Arms crossed anterior the chest, he had vented the statement with590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwVbYC1ndV
whole confidence.
“How come that thing survives590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXZTrcLYcn
on your pocket? Don’t just brag that it has a cover to resist water.”
“And besides, who still uses590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJDcbrPj7f
that thing? Come on, this thing is much more updated.” Subsequent was a quadrate590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiEUE7wnto
mobile phone shown before my face. With an automatic reaction, I rolled my590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82v9Yh8RnX
eyes.
“Right, not to mention that590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡai2BKP1uRz
this place catches no communication network. Who knows if that still works from590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTQcJXc15h
the massive water earlier. Brilliant.”
“Oh shoot, thanks for590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNfmFEan20
reminding.” He smiled, and a deep crate had become visible on his cheeks. Asset,590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5NINd6o0F
one of his assets.
“But at least just trust me590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4lgtdZIG4
about directions. I believe I can make myself familiarize with the path.” He590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZFRFmjV7G
added but this time with no arrogance, instead with sincerity.
“Whatever. Just please! Just590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5jmu5xCO2
please make sure you were right this time.” I made the vexed face still. But with590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiUNjtyJ0u
just few seconds, my annoyance had rapidly turned into surprise as soon as I590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7r6kxlLoa
was lifted from the grounds.
“Hey! Bring me down!” To590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof3e0k61V1
tagged as a child throwing tantrums is out of my concern anymore for I believe590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsToSBeySzs
that it is impossible for someone to reside into this. We’ve took a long pace590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWfmATjLoK
already from the squad. And primarily, if there’s someone to be blame, it is590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86TRwrDNpx
me. I made him get lost with me inside this unsure woodland.
“You’re still soaked, you got590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47FXWtLa71
bruises and I can tell that you’re not able to make fifty steps anymore from590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FrpuyyVeu
the trembling of your legs. Stop nagging anymore and just utter your gratitude,590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZMxbjpWU5
I’ll surely appreciate it.” From every words he conveyed, I can definitely feel590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcmcKAFVxU
the heaving on his broad chest to where my hands were resting. Screw it, he had590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBS19HYunh
made my hands clasp together inches below his neck to attain the piggy-back590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ttcg4abvk
position.
“I’m sorry.” A soft utterance flees590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0paRC0XyH
from my mouth. I sulk my face on his back to hide my reaction even though there’s590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXupd0nioKY
zero chance of him witnessing it.
“Shh. It’s not your fault. You590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfldWfdmTh
were just confused after waking up from the tent assuming that everybody left.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0a89uPhLY4
You looked for us everywhere and ended up seeing me, doing uhm- unnecessary thing.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDDKyjqzXu
To your surprise you fell to that immense waves of river and of course, as your590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW3RStSJrQ
very best friend, I’ll undoubtedly rescue you.” I remained silent. I am looking590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDginMsK3F
for the room of sarcasm to his voice but there’s none. Knowing Bryson, he’ll590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzFTdRURf6
continually insult, tease and mock me. Or at least he will first, before590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNhxPEwOUF
proceeding to such genuine statement. We’ve survived our friendship with that590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztlYBAkY6c
kind of setup. Mockery before apology.
“But you should’ve remained590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkq8WQGmChf
still.”
“Chasse, stop. No one was to590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0B0fWq8Cu
be blame.”
This time, I removed my face590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM507fW5am
from sulking on his back and let my eye roam on the environment. Hence, it stopped590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkLCPlaESt
immediately on the left side of his torso. Although the sky is getting dusky,590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAClIf4JfdR
my eyes can clearly perceive the wounded part.
“You’re bleeding!”
“Huh?”
“You’re wounded! Damn Bryson,590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZWnTcwKm4
you should’ve told me. Bring me down, now! I’ll treat that first.” Fortunately,590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGJYV6OUkO
he didn’t make any more defiance and made me land back on the ground.
“I think it bled the moment590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWGuklBAwN
you carry me.
Undress yourself.”
“C-Chasse, I’m not read— “
“Cut the bullshit Bry.” I said590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNCwKJvokA
and tore the lower part of my black shirt that was slightly ripped from the590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1E6WLAu70
accident earlier.
“Woah, we’ve been friends for590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRU8IoYAJM
fifteen years and this is the first to see you getting wild.” Dimples on cheek590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXwAkOdnEI
is waving again to me.
“I always thought you are not590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXTgk2cbFB
interested to men. You didn’t even settle a gaze to those jerks eyeing on you590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3lCWjMEPh
on the campus. You even told me that you’ll not marry anyone. And what again?590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHy2mgTgSf
You haven’t fell for anyone yet? Ha! Joke’s on you Chasse, never thought that590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5zoJkzFJH
you’ll fell for— “And I hit him, on the head.
“You’re the death of me,590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfCLRLlWbS
seriously. Do you really want to treat me”? He protested but followed with590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ViCKJJ9lf
chuckle thereafter. I didn’t pay much notice on his statement and started to590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm65ToMq1cR
treat his wound, stopped the bleeding by applying pressure and then covered it590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWsk6vlw1T
with the cloth I ripped.
I rid a deep sigh subsequently590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bDR07tO7J
closing my eyes with my head leaning on the near tree where we had decided to590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhUiBFmIaO
stop. I can slowly feel the cold touch of night from the breeze caressing on my590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQycr6PAlW
dermis. But with just a minute, warmth is now lingering before me. A scent of590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF40vxf8vZ
mint is brushing on my face, so I made my eyes opened again.
I saw a deep enigmatic portal.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOIzf9EVnL
It is so deep enough to enchant me, enough to drain my whole soberness. The590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5O50X6HGx
pair of hazel orbs were seeming to be communicating with my eyes. And with no590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkUak6r6rs
further explanation, I think, at some point, I was charmed.
“Chasse.” He’s leaning so near590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9XFiHAQdd
enough to presume that it was just an inch between us.
“Thank you.
Thank you for coming to my590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuXPZd6SiC
life. You’re the best thing that happened to me since age five.” His gaze is590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUZKfX9CDQ
penetrating to my soul.
“Thank you for allowing me to590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1yJvHCgAS
come on your life, for allowing to know you better and for spending memories590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUvhM5L22Y
with me. Chasse, you’re my treasure. You’re my precious gem, believe me.” The590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Oy2AKlMKi
place is not magical, there are no fairies, no pixie dusts, but his words were590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozW5oF58l5
enough for me to dance on the melody of enchantment. I chose not to answer590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDOnlOFEls
verbally hence I close the remaining gap between us to savor the rampaging590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1cwsct4QK
feeling on my chest as I tasted his lips against mine.
I feel like exploding, from590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3NoV0Nid9
this strange feeling I haven’t felt this ever since. It was just Bry, he who made590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJOK76aGn3
me feel every notable first of my life. It took ten seconds before he withdraws590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYGVVf76Zb
from the kiss.
“No, Chasse no. This is wrong.”
“Bry?”
“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueXGrMxgCF
brought you into this situation. I shouldn’t have made that kind of atmosphere.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWZ5cSSHHo
I shouldn’t have made- “
“Bry stop it!
Can’t you see? I-I want you. I590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxcnwlVGH2
want you wholly in my life. Stop apologizing. I am starting to think that you’re590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprxijS0uKZ
sorry for kissing me.”
“No! I love that! Damn, you590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeAkXbaghk
don’t know how much I like to kiss you all the time, you don’t know how much I590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUj3ekSCJm
wanted to spend every second with you.”
“Then why? Why are you acting590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKAW5nTWJ5
like showing my feelings was the greatest mistake I’ve ever done?” Tears, there’s590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsT45F4IOs
tears gushing now from my eyes.
“Eleanor.”
“Eleanor? My cousin?” The name590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFmMA2nHOn
he mentioned feels like a bomb that’s now ticking inside my head. A nod was590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUnhL27Yf4
followed from him.
“Two weeks. She’s two weeks590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1hTHxXfdW
pregnant.” And from that moment, I think I lost my sanity. I felt jellies on my590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcFEDXuvlI
knees. And on my chest, it was so heavy that I just wanted to lie down on the590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1hoqiGmL3
ground. This is the first that I made myself surrender to the notion of love.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdKGvLtL6j
This is the first that I entrusted myself into the feeling of romance. But why590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMXpU4AbYN
does it have to be chained so immediate with hurt? Was love supposed to be like590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugLmGFpydI
this? Was love supposed to be this heart-breaking? All my life, I assumed that590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19s2Bjr5Tz
love was the very best one can feel. It’s always stated on novels. It was always590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSrPSSFDGV
stated by greatest authors.
I made my gaze to him firm as590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0iq70H2Rs
possible albeit the streaming tears.
“Chasse, I’m really sorry.” This590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1T4OCFyhW
time, he’s also crying with knees now on the ground. Silence befell between us.
Bryson, I think I was the one590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIN8klnwi7m
who must be apologizing. I’m sorry If it took me time to realize about how I590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO7pmxfQdP
feel. I’m sorry If I made you wait. I’m sorry If I keep on denying myself. I’m590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCb9g6HNGg
sorry, I’m too late.
I plastered a smile on my590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHXaCNIUpw
face.
“Thank you. Thank you for590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJoAuyxOyx
allowing me to feel how to be in love for seconds.” I turned my back. It was a590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbMCNjvJ2k
genuine utterance.
“We should call it a day.”
“Chasse.”
“Bryson, forget what had590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88RgWmvFbv
happened.
Forget it, because I think I590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltgbESlwXZ
cannot do it. So please do that favor for me. And I’m glad. I’m glad to tell590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvtqcxnw3t
that you’re my first love, I’ve no regret.”
You’re my first love and590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYkCTzQhtu
surely my last. It’s really a miracle that I’ve survived the huge current from590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4l0FXJooZ
the river earlier despite my condition. Maybe, maybe it was meant that you590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL2D4Msv1w
should know how I feel towards you, before it’s really too late. Before my own590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyLDWJ49ko
breath escaped my lips. Before the destined death visits me. I am glad to be in590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoLsTA5Dfy
love even with seconds of my life.
