“To the East!”
“To the West!”
There’s a crease on my673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrN7zbzYCy8
forehead, I can vividly tell. Who would’ve not had such confusion if your one673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw7ZJ2X1kB
and only company is opposing the map? Exasperation expelled out of my breath.
“That rectangular paper isn’t reliable,673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZxLzl4rWu
believe me.” Arms crossed anterior the chest, he had vented the statement with673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq0Svj9XET
whole confidence.
“How come that thing survives673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K763tEwPO
on your pocket? Don’t just brag that it has a cover to resist water.”
“And besides, who still uses673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz2djr2mMk
that thing? Come on, this thing is much more updated.” Subsequent was a quadrate673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TATpK2QpO
mobile phone shown before my face. With an automatic reaction, I rolled my673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUk2aoNBqt
eyes.
“Right, not to mention that673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1bC3DaqUy
this place catches no communication network. Who knows if that still works from673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8A21OsfwK4
the massive water earlier. Brilliant.”
“Oh shoot, thanks for673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ6qjCiyen
reminding.” He smiled, and a deep crate had become visible on his cheeks. Asset,673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzySV4YUVfi
one of his assets.
“But at least just trust me673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTSyUqyW3v
about directions. I believe I can make myself familiarize with the path.” He673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBf8DDmtGN
added but this time with no arrogance, instead with sincerity.
“Whatever. Just please! Just673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbdGxeNlhd
please make sure you were right this time.” I made the vexed face still. But with673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Uyi8LvQ3g
just few seconds, my annoyance had rapidly turned into surprise as soon as I673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqKNC9dQ9L
was lifted from the grounds.
“Hey! Bring me down!” To673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyeSdWaE0Y
tagged as a child throwing tantrums is out of my concern anymore for I believe673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgIEYKudHQ
that it is impossible for someone to reside into this. We’ve took a long pace673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIH2mUN2XN
already from the squad. And primarily, if there’s someone to be blame, it is673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAiUON0TYt
me. I made him get lost with me inside this unsure woodland.
“You’re still soaked, you got673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnM4RlwjoH
bruises and I can tell that you’re not able to make fifty steps anymore from673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYPSLrtkYH
the trembling of your legs. Stop nagging anymore and just utter your gratitude,673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF15vIHn5J
I’ll surely appreciate it.” From every words he conveyed, I can definitely feel673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi9oIEjUqr
the heaving on his broad chest to where my hands were resting. Screw it, he had673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquvPvPP26l
made my hands clasp together inches below his neck to attain the piggy-back673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOQJqWmtrh
position.
“I’m sorry.” A soft utterance flees673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlVsVMb9uV
from my mouth. I sulk my face on his back to hide my reaction even though there’s673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHcyAFyhYo
zero chance of him witnessing it.
“Shh. It’s not your fault. You673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AMQ1LQwxo
were just confused after waking up from the tent assuming that everybody left.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnfj67WuGg
You looked for us everywhere and ended up seeing me, doing uhm- unnecessary thing.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4YuJU46L3
To your surprise you fell to that immense waves of river and of course, as your673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zIZOYAspQ
very best friend, I’ll undoubtedly rescue you.” I remained silent. I am looking673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN32JhKdHcz
for the room of sarcasm to his voice but there’s none. Knowing Bryson, he’ll673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0yndgfZIC
continually insult, tease and mock me. Or at least he will first, before673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqlUer5fgL
proceeding to such genuine statement. We’ve survived our friendship with that673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSubchyYh2U
kind of setup. Mockery before apology.
“But you should’ve remained673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1OpBUoAks
still.”
“Chasse, stop. No one was to673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOBH3yUvxj
be blame.”
This time, I removed my face673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdZjMLJif9
from sulking on his back and let my eye roam on the environment. Hence, it stopped673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjx6Z4XdNzf
immediately on the left side of his torso. Although the sky is getting dusky,673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5uSP03cB3
my eyes can clearly perceive the wounded part.
“You’re bleeding!”
“Huh?”
“You’re wounded! Damn Bryson,673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6iW40WSBu
you should’ve told me. Bring me down, now! I’ll treat that first.” Fortunately,673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFaGPg4XAl
he didn’t make any more defiance and made me land back on the ground.
“I think it bled the moment673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmKu4qXJyq
you carry me.
Undress yourself.”
“C-Chasse, I’m not read— “
“Cut the bullshit Bry.” I said673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwZDMe857X
and tore the lower part of my black shirt that was slightly ripped from the673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRmKGX4KoM
accident earlier.
“Woah, we’ve been friends for673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQip1QI7Nxs
fifteen years and this is the first to see you getting wild.” Dimples on cheek673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuulBc6nLzi
is waving again to me.
“I always thought you are not673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn08pjQpyuN
interested to men. You didn’t even settle a gaze to those jerks eyeing on you673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqYG0m0NbX
on the campus. You even told me that you’ll not marry anyone. And what again?673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgMhdUzgg0
You haven’t fell for anyone yet? Ha! Joke’s on you Chasse, never thought that673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eGLwlDsnu
you’ll fell for— “And I hit him, on the head.
“You’re the death of me,673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMqtYFeFwL
seriously. Do you really want to treat me”? He protested but followed with673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zwI1CJkzj
chuckle thereafter. I didn’t pay much notice on his statement and started to673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxyg0Vm6jE
treat his wound, stopped the bleeding by applying pressure and then covered it673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJk6j54v5T
with the cloth I ripped.
I rid a deep sigh subsequently673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyv2wgctvS
closing my eyes with my head leaning on the near tree where we had decided to673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnFfmEzhZ8
stop. I can slowly feel the cold touch of night from the breeze caressing on my673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7ngoQ5BDm
dermis. But with just a minute, warmth is now lingering before me. A scent of673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGmqTKOcqK
mint is brushing on my face, so I made my eyes opened again.
I saw a deep enigmatic portal.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxMNHr8Drv
It is so deep enough to enchant me, enough to drain my whole soberness. The673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUM5n4cobVu
pair of hazel orbs were seeming to be communicating with my eyes. And with no673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SD7cx881r
further explanation, I think, at some point, I was charmed.
“Chasse.” He’s leaning so near673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJqxCXlxCP
enough to presume that it was just an inch between us.
“Thank you.
Thank you for coming to my673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeuoxWDORZ
life. You’re the best thing that happened to me since age five.” His gaze is673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomhBhwJLf6
penetrating to my soul.
“Thank you for allowing me to673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsuJfc6YWK
come on your life, for allowing to know you better and for spending memories673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmPOAK5aJ4
with me. Chasse, you’re my treasure. You’re my precious gem, believe me.” The673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaORxuUYXka
place is not magical, there are no fairies, no pixie dusts, but his words were673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSqeJ6uxGS
enough for me to dance on the melody of enchantment. I chose not to answer673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AI2PhhMZD
verbally hence I close the remaining gap between us to savor the rampaging673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gpliXD7Qw
feeling on my chest as I tasted his lips against mine.
I feel like exploding, from673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6peke4UByR
this strange feeling I haven’t felt this ever since. It was just Bry, he who made673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQsEzPgZOA
me feel every notable first of my life. It took ten seconds before he withdraws673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBjoIxBzMO
from the kiss.
“No, Chasse no. This is wrong.”
“Bry?”
“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCnFnUyug1
brought you into this situation. I shouldn’t have made that kind of atmosphere.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo61isu8F7r
I shouldn’t have made- “
“Bry stop it!
Can’t you see? I-I want you. I673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYS1qy3gId
want you wholly in my life. Stop apologizing. I am starting to think that you’re673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ1koaWDrU
sorry for kissing me.”
“No! I love that! Damn, you673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIw24zbgTcA
don’t know how much I like to kiss you all the time, you don’t know how much I673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjBpD3iGZ1
wanted to spend every second with you.”
“Then why? Why are you acting673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSV8MpTflB
like showing my feelings was the greatest mistake I’ve ever done?” Tears, there’s673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMm4FNuxTV
tears gushing now from my eyes.
“Eleanor.”
“Eleanor? My cousin?” The name673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvH1OF8Q0Ei
he mentioned feels like a bomb that’s now ticking inside my head. A nod was673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeIcqQI9wB
followed from him.
“Two weeks. She’s two weeks673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZqqjhSwZW
pregnant.” And from that moment, I think I lost my sanity. I felt jellies on my673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8Pgi4MvbL
knees. And on my chest, it was so heavy that I just wanted to lie down on the673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy5nly13bE
ground. This is the first that I made myself surrender to the notion of love.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGqXEfzaza
This is the first that I entrusted myself into the feeling of romance. But why673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG50mOltNPP
does it have to be chained so immediate with hurt? Was love supposed to be like673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbVuhSTc6H
this? Was love supposed to be this heart-breaking? All my life, I assumed that673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKq0lVNzVE
love was the very best one can feel. It’s always stated on novels. It was always673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEcNnUuYb8
stated by greatest authors.
I made my gaze to him firm as673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mDd5VnkOs
possible albeit the streaming tears.
“Chasse, I’m really sorry.” This673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADLFRfjIyV
time, he’s also crying with knees now on the ground. Silence befell between us.
Bryson, I think I was the one673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP3UU27f5T
who must be apologizing. I’m sorry If it took me time to realize about how I673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7klsnOWXl
feel. I’m sorry If I made you wait. I’m sorry If I keep on denying myself. I’m673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkMN4Da8pm
sorry, I’m too late.
I plastered a smile on my673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZISKPIwWl
face.
“Thank you. Thank you for673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVlORLS4Zr
allowing me to feel how to be in love for seconds.” I turned my back. It was a673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwbT4AkF80
genuine utterance.
“We should call it a day.”
“Chasse.”
“Bryson, forget what had673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXstiABdsz
happened.
Forget it, because I think I673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡol02mIzVC2
cannot do it. So please do that favor for me. And I’m glad. I’m glad to tell673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIGPo7biep
that you’re my first love, I’ve no regret.”
You’re my first love and673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GowVbtVai
surely my last. It’s really a miracle that I’ve survived the huge current from673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDolU91BITe
the river earlier despite my condition. Maybe, maybe it was meant that you673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUQNK78AZM
should know how I feel towards you, before it’s really too late. Before my own673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ4isEcVIX
breath escaped my lips. Before the destined death visits me. I am glad to be in673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9zPavEq4D
love even with seconds of my life.
