“To the East!”
“To the West!”
There’s a crease on my1156Please respect copyright.PENANAgGEZKFedNQ
forehead, I can vividly tell. Who would’ve not had such confusion if your one1156Please respect copyright.PENANAZA75MWqRV9
and only company is opposing the map? Exasperation expelled out of my breath.
“That rectangular paper isn’t reliable,1156Please respect copyright.PENANARAgKfBWPv9
believe me.” Arms crossed anterior the chest, he had vented the statement with1156Please respect copyright.PENANAPWc02EqaVp
whole confidence.
“How come that thing survives1156Please respect copyright.PENANAwF38DMJS4l
on your pocket? Don’t just brag that it has a cover to resist water.”
“And besides, who still uses1156Please respect copyright.PENANAQesWvm3eHU
that thing? Come on, this thing is much more updated.” Subsequent was a quadrate1156Please respect copyright.PENANAxXrfTEs91i
mobile phone shown before my face. With an automatic reaction, I rolled my1156Please respect copyright.PENANAagvltg7K8n
eyes.
“Right, not to mention that1156Please respect copyright.PENANAE5GEQSUbta
this place catches no communication network. Who knows if that still works from1156Please respect copyright.PENANAOPlyPd1g6z
the massive water earlier. Brilliant.”
“Oh shoot, thanks for1156Please respect copyright.PENANAGwODPbdYMK
reminding.” He smiled, and a deep crate had become visible on his cheeks. Asset,1156Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZqNRy0DJ8
one of his assets.
“But at least just trust me1156Please respect copyright.PENANArG0Jf1zAJ9
about directions. I believe I can make myself familiarize with the path.” He1156Please respect copyright.PENANADO7b167nAA
added but this time with no arrogance, instead with sincerity.
“Whatever. Just please! Just1156Please respect copyright.PENANAit5M4yPEFk
please make sure you were right this time.” I made the vexed face still. But with1156Please respect copyright.PENANAyaxNphB1gB
just few seconds, my annoyance had rapidly turned into surprise as soon as I1156Please respect copyright.PENANAIvKtBp6dcT
was lifted from the grounds.
“Hey! Bring me down!” To1156Please respect copyright.PENANA6X6175p3Lh
tagged as a child throwing tantrums is out of my concern anymore for I believe1156Please respect copyright.PENANA5IRrvwsbby
that it is impossible for someone to reside into this. We’ve took a long pace1156Please respect copyright.PENANAnl3uO23DF1
already from the squad. And primarily, if there’s someone to be blame, it is1156Please respect copyright.PENANA6wk4qdFPfE
me. I made him get lost with me inside this unsure woodland.
“You’re still soaked, you got1156Please respect copyright.PENANACRvuiakNjz
bruises and I can tell that you’re not able to make fifty steps anymore from1156Please respect copyright.PENANAhyURLt5h0G
the trembling of your legs. Stop nagging anymore and just utter your gratitude,1156Please respect copyright.PENANALrB5nzvraT
I’ll surely appreciate it.” From every words he conveyed, I can definitely feel1156Please respect copyright.PENANA2jPIwIGIk6
the heaving on his broad chest to where my hands were resting. Screw it, he had1156Please respect copyright.PENANAtjcZqzOjv9
made my hands clasp together inches below his neck to attain the piggy-back1156Please respect copyright.PENANAg4nFfaUe60
position.
“I’m sorry.” A soft utterance flees1156Please respect copyright.PENANAzmcyQoU3KI
from my mouth. I sulk my face on his back to hide my reaction even though there’s1156Please respect copyright.PENANABNa0xifYEn
zero chance of him witnessing it.
“Shh. It’s not your fault. You1156Please respect copyright.PENANAaFZXFrQfau
were just confused after waking up from the tent assuming that everybody left.1156Please respect copyright.PENANAJfGrl3G4De
You looked for us everywhere and ended up seeing me, doing uhm- unnecessary thing.1156Please respect copyright.PENANAtny6UxobF8
To your surprise you fell to that immense waves of river and of course, as your1156Please respect copyright.PENANAoVHV3FKLSk
very best friend, I’ll undoubtedly rescue you.” I remained silent. I am looking1156Please respect copyright.PENANAlB3DXcMZKG
for the room of sarcasm to his voice but there’s none. Knowing Bryson, he’ll1156Please respect copyright.PENANAPrqTh8BBcD
continually insult, tease and mock me. Or at least he will first, before1156Please respect copyright.PENANAWhi2mcE8Um
proceeding to such genuine statement. We’ve survived our friendship with that1156Please respect copyright.PENANA4rTdjZtgWL
kind of setup. Mockery before apology.
“But you should’ve remained1156Please respect copyright.PENANAREh48xW0t2
still.”
“Chasse, stop. No one was to1156Please respect copyright.PENANAt48Q0NTJQI
be blame.”
This time, I removed my face1156Please respect copyright.PENANAIOU0rK9W31
from sulking on his back and let my eye roam on the environment. Hence, it stopped1156Please respect copyright.PENANA9nvAsqMolI
immediately on the left side of his torso. Although the sky is getting dusky,1156Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZkZ5qtTEb
my eyes can clearly perceive the wounded part.
“You’re bleeding!”
“Huh?”
“You’re wounded! Damn Bryson,1156Please respect copyright.PENANANeYN9SF64u
you should’ve told me. Bring me down, now! I’ll treat that first.” Fortunately,1156Please respect copyright.PENANATx9pjEsxll
he didn’t make any more defiance and made me land back on the ground.
“I think it bled the moment1156Please respect copyright.PENANADAWRRQ6vHp
you carry me.
Undress yourself.”
“C-Chasse, I’m not read— “
“Cut the bullshit Bry.” I said1156Please respect copyright.PENANAY6M55zEeQe
and tore the lower part of my black shirt that was slightly ripped from the1156Please respect copyright.PENANAPQLZAkY08m
accident earlier.
“Woah, we’ve been friends for1156Please respect copyright.PENANAmp25Bhujsm
fifteen years and this is the first to see you getting wild.” Dimples on cheek1156Please respect copyright.PENANA5cvfWQnVYq
is waving again to me.
“I always thought you are not1156Please respect copyright.PENANA9BOUvTJPM0
interested to men. You didn’t even settle a gaze to those jerks eyeing on you1156Please respect copyright.PENANAvVGmWlLYEW
on the campus. You even told me that you’ll not marry anyone. And what again?1156Please respect copyright.PENANA4gig2LYcEz
You haven’t fell for anyone yet? Ha! Joke’s on you Chasse, never thought that1156Please respect copyright.PENANAu4xocdXIUW
you’ll fell for— “And I hit him, on the head.
“You’re the death of me,1156Please respect copyright.PENANAz8tmo1Agnu
seriously. Do you really want to treat me”? He protested but followed with1156Please respect copyright.PENANA7CeMbXoJti
chuckle thereafter. I didn’t pay much notice on his statement and started to1156Please respect copyright.PENANAH4u6F3ilDF
treat his wound, stopped the bleeding by applying pressure and then covered it1156Please respect copyright.PENANAWdTYlIYnh1
with the cloth I ripped.
I rid a deep sigh subsequently1156Please respect copyright.PENANApzgrbDvPCS
closing my eyes with my head leaning on the near tree where we had decided to1156Please respect copyright.PENANAPEbbyoYVUe
stop. I can slowly feel the cold touch of night from the breeze caressing on my1156Please respect copyright.PENANAmtGJsUXcru
dermis. But with just a minute, warmth is now lingering before me. A scent of1156Please respect copyright.PENANAESNbuzGnpx
mint is brushing on my face, so I made my eyes opened again.
I saw a deep enigmatic portal.1156Please respect copyright.PENANAwPxC97QKNi
It is so deep enough to enchant me, enough to drain my whole soberness. The1156Please respect copyright.PENANALclpaBox8h
pair of hazel orbs were seeming to be communicating with my eyes. And with no1156Please respect copyright.PENANAWycyUHDYjf
further explanation, I think, at some point, I was charmed.
“Chasse.” He’s leaning so near1156Please respect copyright.PENANAcc5KYqFGT3
enough to presume that it was just an inch between us.
“Thank you.
Thank you for coming to my1156Please respect copyright.PENANAyiPCgMJkWp
life. You’re the best thing that happened to me since age five.” His gaze is1156Please respect copyright.PENANAOZgcRPtyV3
penetrating to my soul.
“Thank you for allowing me to1156Please respect copyright.PENANAo8u3OtGe56
come on your life, for allowing to know you better and for spending memories1156Please respect copyright.PENANAzZrASeVM5g
with me. Chasse, you’re my treasure. You’re my precious gem, believe me.” The1156Please respect copyright.PENANA1caQGs0mXm
place is not magical, there are no fairies, no pixie dusts, but his words were1156Please respect copyright.PENANAXD4xxzuG9W
enough for me to dance on the melody of enchantment. I chose not to answer1156Please respect copyright.PENANAwNYGMdATkd
verbally hence I close the remaining gap between us to savor the rampaging1156Please respect copyright.PENANABbOyJBDeQA
feeling on my chest as I tasted his lips against mine.
I feel like exploding, from1156Please respect copyright.PENANAHpelTvwddh
this strange feeling I haven’t felt this ever since. It was just Bry, he who made1156Please respect copyright.PENANAfWZ2yT4kzJ
me feel every notable first of my life. It took ten seconds before he withdraws1156Please respect copyright.PENANAXfRKkEXu43
from the kiss.
“No, Chasse no. This is wrong.”
“Bry?”
“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have1156Please respect copyright.PENANA5PCbkUrsSz
brought you into this situation. I shouldn’t have made that kind of atmosphere.1156Please respect copyright.PENANAQrai4YdpZK
I shouldn’t have made- “
“Bry stop it!
Can’t you see? I-I want you. I1156Please respect copyright.PENANASnKoskxmgp
want you wholly in my life. Stop apologizing. I am starting to think that you’re1156Please respect copyright.PENANAZuMzQw9vv8
sorry for kissing me.”
“No! I love that! Damn, you1156Please respect copyright.PENANA89b4LihziS
don’t know how much I like to kiss you all the time, you don’t know how much I1156Please respect copyright.PENANAY2OhPB0ry2
wanted to spend every second with you.”
“Then why? Why are you acting1156Please respect copyright.PENANAcX4vFLyojq
like showing my feelings was the greatest mistake I’ve ever done?” Tears, there’s1156Please respect copyright.PENANAn37Q4tI5Oj
tears gushing now from my eyes.
“Eleanor.”
“Eleanor? My cousin?” The name1156Please respect copyright.PENANAZzMwqb9aMW
he mentioned feels like a bomb that’s now ticking inside my head. A nod was1156Please respect copyright.PENANApauShALqEs
followed from him.
“Two weeks. She’s two weeks1156Please respect copyright.PENANAG3xe3yWeJI
pregnant.” And from that moment, I think I lost my sanity. I felt jellies on my1156Please respect copyright.PENANAHopyLfhtP9
knees. And on my chest, it was so heavy that I just wanted to lie down on the1156Please respect copyright.PENANAWnhUEb81wR
ground. This is the first that I made myself surrender to the notion of love.1156Please respect copyright.PENANA9tWgs0bYVL
This is the first that I entrusted myself into the feeling of romance. But why1156Please respect copyright.PENANAtsLH1yAQ1q
does it have to be chained so immediate with hurt? Was love supposed to be like1156Please respect copyright.PENANA96FtfEGVm1
this? Was love supposed to be this heart-breaking? All my life, I assumed that1156Please respect copyright.PENANAbsCmG2VeIj
love was the very best one can feel. It’s always stated on novels. It was always1156Please respect copyright.PENANAlwnQSGJqO8
stated by greatest authors.
I made my gaze to him firm as1156Please respect copyright.PENANAnW1Pe4mJNE
possible albeit the streaming tears.
“Chasse, I’m really sorry.” This1156Please respect copyright.PENANAdeaFdbSFuv
time, he’s also crying with knees now on the ground. Silence befell between us.
Bryson, I think I was the one1156Please respect copyright.PENANAz7NJElLCPb
who must be apologizing. I’m sorry If it took me time to realize about how I1156Please respect copyright.PENANA7GtBRecqzW
feel. I’m sorry If I made you wait. I’m sorry If I keep on denying myself. I’m1156Please respect copyright.PENANA4OWMZtPTbe
sorry, I’m too late.
I plastered a smile on my1156Please respect copyright.PENANA3BX3w20Zss
face.
“Thank you. Thank you for1156Please respect copyright.PENANALlv9yHK9Id
allowing me to feel how to be in love for seconds.” I turned my back. It was a1156Please respect copyright.PENANAwu9WjTzovl
genuine utterance.
“We should call it a day.”
“Chasse.”
“Bryson, forget what had1156Please respect copyright.PENANAWQyJIdg1to
happened.
Forget it, because I think I1156Please respect copyright.PENANAiqh1MLevZR
cannot do it. So please do that favor for me. And I’m glad. I’m glad to tell1156Please respect copyright.PENANAYC8EWk1nsk
that you’re my first love, I’ve no regret.”
You’re my first love and1156Please respect copyright.PENANAbyGCW2k2Dd
surely my last. It’s really a miracle that I’ve survived the huge current from1156Please respect copyright.PENANA0CmEa0qp9H
the river earlier despite my condition. Maybe, maybe it was meant that you1156Please respect copyright.PENANAHiz0zybmTk
should know how I feel towards you, before it’s really too late. Before my own1156Please respect copyright.PENANA11nUrWSfky
breath escaped my lips. Before the destined death visits me. I am glad to be in1156Please respect copyright.PENANA80V3o2kPug
love even with seconds of my life.
