“To the East!”
“To the West!”
There’s a crease on my686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo9q1USunb
forehead, I can vividly tell. Who would’ve not had such confusion if your one686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNDsjxjsWJ
and only company is opposing the map? Exasperation expelled out of my breath.
“That rectangular paper isn’t reliable,686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESAnh0bRzT
believe me.” Arms crossed anterior the chest, he had vented the statement with686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XKl5eF2WI
whole confidence.
“How come that thing survives686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVjLH0uXa9
on your pocket? Don’t just brag that it has a cover to resist water.”
“And besides, who still uses686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFkWWB777N
that thing? Come on, this thing is much more updated.” Subsequent was a quadrate686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVZmslZMM6
mobile phone shown before my face. With an automatic reaction, I rolled my686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJz1uRYl7Sz
eyes.
“Right, not to mention that686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRIG90PQBn
this place catches no communication network. Who knows if that still works from686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkbJIgpeIe
the massive water earlier. Brilliant.”
“Oh shoot, thanks for686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA7QRHKPd6
reminding.” He smiled, and a deep crate had become visible on his cheeks. Asset,686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6S1iXC8YlX
one of his assets.
“But at least just trust me686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KPduhiIaN
about directions. I believe I can make myself familiarize with the path.” He686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmATOeiLj8r
added but this time with no arrogance, instead with sincerity.
“Whatever. Just please! Just686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4yxhFt7rV
please make sure you were right this time.” I made the vexed face still. But with686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO3Cj1dTPF
just few seconds, my annoyance had rapidly turned into surprise as soon as I686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTekEKdMUw
was lifted from the grounds.
“Hey! Bring me down!” To686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchibPxpqkQ
tagged as a child throwing tantrums is out of my concern anymore for I believe686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrbtcXVvnO
that it is impossible for someone to reside into this. We’ve took a long pace686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCPSvMcsge
already from the squad. And primarily, if there’s someone to be blame, it is686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZfKxC9IMi
me. I made him get lost with me inside this unsure woodland.
“You’re still soaked, you got686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbOjXUN1Dt
bruises and I can tell that you’re not able to make fifty steps anymore from686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N9GMa7hvi
the trembling of your legs. Stop nagging anymore and just utter your gratitude,686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDuQMLwn97
I’ll surely appreciate it.” From every words he conveyed, I can definitely feel686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGgLrCv0dZ
the heaving on his broad chest to where my hands were resting. Screw it, he had686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXVeycp5tD
made my hands clasp together inches below his neck to attain the piggy-back686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBWZ5B6v1Q
position.
“I’m sorry.” A soft utterance flees686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoTpcjaDb6
from my mouth. I sulk my face on his back to hide my reaction even though there’s686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGDAAMQcnU
zero chance of him witnessing it.
“Shh. It’s not your fault. You686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc5pYSBXwd
were just confused after waking up from the tent assuming that everybody left.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyDfBBfLeR
You looked for us everywhere and ended up seeing me, doing uhm- unnecessary thing.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QYnkLRIrn
To your surprise you fell to that immense waves of river and of course, as your686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmOz7TNib8
very best friend, I’ll undoubtedly rescue you.” I remained silent. I am looking686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eXPA4Aeha
for the room of sarcasm to his voice but there’s none. Knowing Bryson, he’ll686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA7bkKksO4
continually insult, tease and mock me. Or at least he will first, before686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiSIW6JKRX
proceeding to such genuine statement. We’ve survived our friendship with that686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0a0VaCAH1Y
kind of setup. Mockery before apology.
“But you should’ve remained686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAykcGPE06g
still.”
“Chasse, stop. No one was to686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtfsAWRq8b
be blame.”
This time, I removed my face686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9QYyizOT1
from sulking on his back and let my eye roam on the environment. Hence, it stopped686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1KyytqXHB
immediately on the left side of his torso. Although the sky is getting dusky,686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcKVaFr6rt
my eyes can clearly perceive the wounded part.
“You’re bleeding!”
“Huh?”
“You’re wounded! Damn Bryson,686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6t4eGIWlT7
you should’ve told me. Bring me down, now! I’ll treat that first.” Fortunately,686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgckB7ECbgY
he didn’t make any more defiance and made me land back on the ground.
“I think it bled the moment686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCEJiGdlM1
you carry me.
Undress yourself.”
“C-Chasse, I’m not read— “
“Cut the bullshit Bry.” I said686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HJYLrgG1K
and tore the lower part of my black shirt that was slightly ripped from the686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCqtdc2yEE
accident earlier.
“Woah, we’ve been friends for686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5B8jh0tVg
fifteen years and this is the first to see you getting wild.” Dimples on cheek686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVU30onIJln
is waving again to me.
“I always thought you are not686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz7XZGKF1k
interested to men. You didn’t even settle a gaze to those jerks eyeing on you686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qBqUP4jHq
on the campus. You even told me that you’ll not marry anyone. And what again?686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Jy4eRk4c5
You haven’t fell for anyone yet? Ha! Joke’s on you Chasse, never thought that686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnCkwhMk1g
you’ll fell for— “And I hit him, on the head.
“You’re the death of me,686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pEHAQ3KsT
seriously. Do you really want to treat me”? He protested but followed with686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjErYl35lk0
chuckle thereafter. I didn’t pay much notice on his statement and started to686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3ZMaZvH8a
treat his wound, stopped the bleeding by applying pressure and then covered it686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSp34Y39j9
with the cloth I ripped.
I rid a deep sigh subsequently686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNOlOGl6m1
closing my eyes with my head leaning on the near tree where we had decided to686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9zKgMYWdI
stop. I can slowly feel the cold touch of night from the breeze caressing on my686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcm7yLyPb8b
dermis. But with just a minute, warmth is now lingering before me. A scent of686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRfaf4g01o
mint is brushing on my face, so I made my eyes opened again.
I saw a deep enigmatic portal.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07uMxj88U4
It is so deep enough to enchant me, enough to drain my whole soberness. The686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi75otZTZD
pair of hazel orbs were seeming to be communicating with my eyes. And with no686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29xsgRGoO0
further explanation, I think, at some point, I was charmed.
“Chasse.” He’s leaning so near686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaEbviGTqz
enough to presume that it was just an inch between us.
“Thank you.
Thank you for coming to my686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO3c1DIzIR
life. You’re the best thing that happened to me since age five.” His gaze is686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4vO6KFlA0
penetrating to my soul.
“Thank you for allowing me to686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtE2ErWTcGW
come on your life, for allowing to know you better and for spending memories686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreC1MfZTdx
with me. Chasse, you’re my treasure. You’re my precious gem, believe me.” The686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzW2GNgV4u
place is not magical, there are no fairies, no pixie dusts, but his words were686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ni6ApEpEf
enough for me to dance on the melody of enchantment. I chose not to answer686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i7SWlH4IR
verbally hence I close the remaining gap between us to savor the rampaging686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIm8mSK8Pu
feeling on my chest as I tasted his lips against mine.
I feel like exploding, from686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziml4F1Rgk
this strange feeling I haven’t felt this ever since. It was just Bry, he who made686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfoQd9s6ND
me feel every notable first of my life. It took ten seconds before he withdraws686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIZhgYMcpG
from the kiss.
“No, Chasse no. This is wrong.”
“Bry?”
“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbatDaaEew1
brought you into this situation. I shouldn’t have made that kind of atmosphere.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CqczOQjQo
I shouldn’t have made- “
“Bry stop it!
Can’t you see? I-I want you. I686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpWDJN6d4M
want you wholly in my life. Stop apologizing. I am starting to think that you’re686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqmw5ACFbW
sorry for kissing me.”
“No! I love that! Damn, you686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KjZON0BRJ
don’t know how much I like to kiss you all the time, you don’t know how much I686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhCRbeuhdy
wanted to spend every second with you.”
“Then why? Why are you acting686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7N7ySIXwv6
like showing my feelings was the greatest mistake I’ve ever done?” Tears, there’s686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73nQVwc4HG
tears gushing now from my eyes.
“Eleanor.”
“Eleanor? My cousin?” The name686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI18tD8twfc
he mentioned feels like a bomb that’s now ticking inside my head. A nod was686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8EQcqHigz
followed from him.
“Two weeks. She’s two weeks686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbFrnzxXLE
pregnant.” And from that moment, I think I lost my sanity. I felt jellies on my686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UijZ4astA
knees. And on my chest, it was so heavy that I just wanted to lie down on the686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo2CQPivTi
ground. This is the first that I made myself surrender to the notion of love.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuBPRgKduD
This is the first that I entrusted myself into the feeling of romance. But why686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUM2dTRd8BV
does it have to be chained so immediate with hurt? Was love supposed to be like686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZD314Bjq4
this? Was love supposed to be this heart-breaking? All my life, I assumed that686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl2tq1p0ZZ
love was the very best one can feel. It’s always stated on novels. It was always686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uMNvJ77l9
stated by greatest authors.
I made my gaze to him firm as686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4xMcsQ1uw
possible albeit the streaming tears.
“Chasse, I’m really sorry.” This686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZTsS0NNuy
time, he’s also crying with knees now on the ground. Silence befell between us.
Bryson, I think I was the one686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zRHDN87pP
who must be apologizing. I’m sorry If it took me time to realize about how I686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRSQubVEiD
feel. I’m sorry If I made you wait. I’m sorry If I keep on denying myself. I’m686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Cet84ChRe
sorry, I’m too late.
I plastered a smile on my686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVOnXHLqOR
face.
“Thank you. Thank you for686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8LT6aQnDF
allowing me to feel how to be in love for seconds.” I turned my back. It was a686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CpZqb1miT
genuine utterance.
“We should call it a day.”
“Chasse.”
“Bryson, forget what had686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIoKJrem1P
happened.
Forget it, because I think I686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnLZHfVNnq
cannot do it. So please do that favor for me. And I’m glad. I’m glad to tell686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN42nQgPnST
that you’re my first love, I’ve no regret.”
You’re my first love and686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQLDKawJWM
surely my last. It’s really a miracle that I’ve survived the huge current from686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfMRLGHtRu
the river earlier despite my condition. Maybe, maybe it was meant that you686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UqCYYZygh
should know how I feel towards you, before it’s really too late. Before my own686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABQw7obSpz
breath escaped my lips. Before the destined death visits me. I am glad to be in686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOl7Up1bW4t
love even with seconds of my life.
