TRUE LOVE ⚔Assassin Series10 ⚔

Two

'The first time I laid my eyes on you, I knew that there's something about you that I should know and so I find a way to get to know you. I followed you everywhere you go 'til I learned that your favorite place is the brook 5 kilometers away from your home. No one else was going there and so I thought that you love to be alone everytime you needed to breathe fresh air. You love being alone. For a moment, as I was watching you throwing pebbles, I wonder what you're thinking, if it is about moving forward or looking back on what happened before, did somebody hurt you? Because I am more willing to take away the pain that you feel.And as time passes by, I had the chance to know your favorite food and your favorite drinks; the color that you're in love with and the kind of cloud you're looking forward to see every morning. You love black and blue; for black gives meaning to your dying world and blue represents your grieving soul. You love books but you don't like the taste of the coffee, you're drinking tea instead. You're always waiting for the sun to set before you go home. You're deep, you're a mystery. You are into music, good at singing and you look perfect when you're dancing. For all the chances that I had to get to know you, I never had the chance to see you closely, I never had the chance to talk to you. But then, I thought that it's all worth it, it's not a waste of time getting to know someone like you and I fell in love with you eventually. Whether I am existing in your world or not, I'll still love you for I already seen the most beautiful smile that you have; I'll still love you simply because I am in love with you. My unrequited love, to you.'

"Ha" naputol ang pagbabalik tanaw ni Blaire sa nakaraan ng marinig ang boses ni Zylven, biglang itiniklop nya ang pitaka at ibinulsa. Nakatago kasi dun ang picture ni Star na lihim nyang kinupit sa photo album na nakita nyang pakalat kalat noon sa sala ng bahay ni Zylven. Simula kasi ng makita nyang dalaga sa Thailand nung ni rescue nila si Princess Tamara, hindi na ito nawala sa isip nya, kaya inimbistigahan nya ito ng lihim. Naging stalker sya nito at dun mas lalong lumalim ang paghanga nya sa dalaga, dahil sa mga natutuklasan nya dito. Naging magkaibigan sila't naging close sa isa't isa, at minahal nya ito ng sobra sobra.

"Ang sabi ko, ano ng development sa misyon mo Bro, plantsado na ba lahat?"

Tanong ni Zylven habang nililinis ang kanyang katana.

"Anong misyon? Para sakin hindi isang misyon si Star."

Naiinis na sagot ni Blaire sa kaibigan, na lihim namang nasisiyahan sa narinig mula sa kanya.

"Opsss.. Sorry naman! kasi napapansin ko lang sayo, parang may nagbago."

Panghuhuli nya sa kaibigan na baka maging pinsan na rin nya in the near future. Sabagay, boto sya kay Blaire para sa pinsan nya. Kaya nga palihim syang nag papaka cupid para tulungang magkalapit yung dalawa.

"Nagbago? Sakin?" Tinuro pa ni Blaire ang sarili na kunwari naguguluhan sya sa tanong ng kaibigan. " At ano namang nabago sakin, Abir?"

"Kaiba eh! Parang nag go glow ang aura mo, dina kagaya ng dati na ang dilim dilim ng aurang nakapalibot sayo."

Nakataas pang sulok ng kanyang labi, ng masulyapan si Blaire na bahagyang namumula ang magkabilang tenga. Ganito ito kapag nate tense.

"Anubang pinagsasabi mo dyan? Tangna! bilisan mo na nga dyan para makaalis na tayo."

Matapos sabihin yun ni Blaire na tila naiilang sa takbo ng usapan nila ni Zylven, naglakad na ito palabas ng pinto, napagpasyahan nyang sa kotse na lang hintayin ang kaibigan. Ng makaupo sa harap ng manibela hinugot nya ulit sa bulsa ang pitaka saka tinitigan ulit ang picture ni Star dun.

'Admit it Blaire, that person is still in your heart. That person who taught you the things you never knew. That person who is always on your mind, at night before you go to sleep, in the morning just after you woke up. That person whose voice you can't even forget, even if you don't talk anymore. That person that stands out from everyone else. That person who has made you change your ways, who has hurt you so much that you had to change. That person whose face appears when you close your eyes at night, whose laugh resonates through your soul, whose voice echoes wherever you are, whose smile lingers to every place you've been together. That person that made us wonder and expect that the person we'll love next to be the same or much better. That person who has set the standards for everything. That person that you have given everything, that you have the best and unforgettable experiences with. That person who has made you the person you are today, the reason you're thinking right now, the reason why you can't love anyone else at the moment. Admit it, that person is still in your heart, that one person that you can't just simply unlove.'

Nagtatalo ang kanyang puso't isipan. At dahil nakatutok ang buong attention ni Blaire sa picture na tinitingnan, hindi man lang nya naramdaman ang pagpasok ni Zylven sa sasakyan at dahil sa chismoso ito, nakisilip na rin sa picture ni Star na hawak hawak pa rin ng kaibigan. Napangiti ito ng lihim.

"I know, you love her -but can she elaborate how your smile gives light to the dark tunnel, how perfect the freckles on your face because you are perfectly made with them, how your eyes tells stories everytime you laugh, how your hair moves along with the wind as you walk, how perfect the sound of your voice is and how your gaze can melt someone's heart?" Kuha ni Zylven sa attention ng kaibigan.

"Ha! A - anong sinasabi mo dyan?" Nalilitong baling na tanong ni Blaire sa kaibigan na inginuso naman nito ang picture na hawak nya.

"I know you love her -but can she write you as a metaphor and can she create poems and lyrics about how you met? Can she extrapolate the memories you shared together? Can she handle you when your devils started knocking you off and when hope cannot be seen in your eyes? Will she be able to calm your raging heart when you decided to turn your back to the world and face your problems alone? Will she be able to stay even if you will ask her to leave you? Will she be able to see how beautiful it is to love you even when the heart is tired and the sun has set for the both of you?"

Lalong naguluhan si Blaire sa mga sinasabi ni Zylven sa kanya. 'Ano bang pinagsasabi nito? Sino bang tinutukoy nitong She?'

"Star Monteza! I know you love her Blaire." Nakataas ang kilay na sabi ni Zylven sa kaibigan.

"Ha! Paano mo nalaman?" Halatang pamumutla ni Blaire dahil sa nakitang reaction ni Zylven.

"Heloo.. hawak mo kayang picture nya, ay! tanga lang ganun? Hahaha."

Panunukso pa ni Zylven sa kaibigan na naintindihan na rin sa wakas ang nais nyang ipahiwatig dito. Pero nungka nyang sasabihin dito na syang gumawa ng lahat ng paraan para mag krus ang landas ng dalawa. Gustong gusto nyang magkatuluyan ang mga ito, kaya lahat ay gagawin nya para sa dalawa. Gusto nyang magkaroon ng forever ang mga ito, kagaya nila ni Tamara na masaya ng buhay kapiling ang isa't isa.
