His lips taste like it still the very first time. It was soft and warm as he pull me closer to him. Seeing him again finally ease those torn and now its been tearing away from my heart.

He kiss my forehead. I know this kiss, A kiss of Goodbye. Halik na hinding hindi ko na maramdaman pa ulit. Napaluha ako na nakapikit ang mata. H-hindi ayokong iwanan nya ako ulit. Ayokong makalimutan ko na naman sya. Hindi ako nakaramdam ng takot when I place the knife in my chest. I can't handle this pain, its so much for me to bare. "If I can't have you then I'll follow you"

He wipe my tears away and take the knife away. I see on those eyes, that he'll wait for me when my time is over. "I'll still be here to guide you whenever you go. You need to move on. I don't want you to suffer because of me. My dear Crystille. Our past stays in past, you can't change it. It was fate. Be happy my princess and protect the people whom you love. Promise me. That you live and someday you'll became the stronger and better queen of your kin. I can't wait for that day and be hapoy seeing you from above...."

Tumango ako na umiiyak na tila walang katapusan. Dahan dahan na syang naglalaho sa king paningin habang nakangiti. Tumatagos na ang mga kamay ko sa mga kamay niya. Tuminghala ako sa kalangitan habang dahan dahan na siyang bumabalik.His in a better place now. I wipe my tears and trying to stop sobbing. He maybe gone. But his still part of me.

Hindi ko alam na pano ko maipaliwanag ang nararamdaman ko naghalo ang saya at lungkot. I'm in tears but in the same time there's a serenity in my heart. I felt that the chained is finally unlocked..

Napangiti na ako dahil siguro sa pagtanggap ko ng pagkawala nya.

"I will protect the people thats a promise" Muli nang tinabunan ng ulap ang buwan at dahan dahan ko na syang pinahiga at hinalikan sa kanyang noo."I will always loving you. Hatfrille"

Sinara na ng mga kawal ang puntod nakatayo parin ako habang tinitingnan ang nakatayong statwa namin dalawa.

"Aalisin po namin ang statwa nyo"-pinatigil ko ang pakay nilang alisin ang aking statwa sa puntod. Walang tanging makakagalaw nyan kundi tanging ang hagupit ng kalikasan.

My mom embraced me and gave me the golden fluer and I put it in hatfrillesm's hand. This flower never wither until then end of time, this flower symbolizes that love is truly immeasurable. Masakit pero pinilit ko naring tanggapin ang lahat. Na wala na talaga siya. Minsan talaga may mga bagay na hindi tinadhana satin pero ket naging isa nalang itong alala masaya parin akong nakilala ka.

May narinig akong lumalakad papalapit sakin at nilingon ko at agad akong nagbow sa kanya "Mahal na reyn... ah mama..."-Napahalakhak sya bigla na kinangiti ko

"You still wanna go for an adventure?"-said she and I immediately nodded. She gently kiss my forehead "you've grown so much whatta brave little princess. You will be the great ruler someday i'm sure hatfrille would be so proud of you.."-my mom added at niyakap ko sya sa sobrang saya.

➖➖➖

Tahimik kaming kumakain. Its awkward kase huling huli ko naman silang nakatingin sakin. Napabumuntong hininga ako sabay irap sa ere. "Baka may gusto kayong tatanungin sakin ngayon o greet man lang"-saad ko at napasinghap sila at nagtakbuhan papunta sakin at pinagsasakal ako. AHHHH!!!!!!

"Yumi.... yumieee.. yumie.."-ajenta kiss me as she calling my name. Xirien riped my face sa sobrang lakas ng pagkakurot nya aking pisnge si maya naman ganon din.

"GUYS!! I can't breath!!!!"-i'm trying to push them away pero mas natapatan pa nila ang linta na dumikit sa balat.

"Your crashing me!!"

A week later...Nandito na kame ulit sa beach.  Sinisinghap ko ang amoy ng dagat at ang presko pa ng hangin. Nakamove on nasi princess yumie ko. She's a strong girl and I'm very proud. Sa ngayon hinihintay pa namin si noah na kumukuha ng LUMOT para makahinga kame sa dagat. Second times nato na matitikman ko ulit yun. Eww!!! Ayan tumatayo na ang balahibo ko kapag naaalala ang lasa nun.

Hindi sasama si maya samin. Dinig kong magiging second mother na sya ni xirien and i'm very thankful that may bago na syang ina at aalagaan sya ng mabuti. No offense to me. I still hate my mothe-r. Ugh bat ko ba sya naisip?

Bilis ding dumating ni noah at may kasama syang lalake. Mukha syang catfish HAHAHA sama ko naman. Cute sya actually parang innocente ang dating nya .

" Yo unggoy! Whats up!"-sabay swag nya kay marko na nabadtrip. Bawiin ko na yung 'innocent' na sinabi ko since when did he learn swagging?

"Isa pang unggoy malilintikan kana sakin! Di ako unggoy isa akong diwata!"-bulalas ni marko at napatahimik ito ng mapansing hindi pala ito madala-dala sa biro. Konteng paalala na wag biruin ang unggoy.

That a big WARNING!

"Hi miss xirien Fëa nice to meet you. Noah tells me about yah"-sabay pa hot pa nya at nasuka ako

"Ikaw yung sira ulong babae na dinala ni noah diba? Ikaw yung may sigaw sigaw na bra ata yun?"-aniya na parang inaalala ang sinabi ko noon.

"The heck?!"-iritang saad ko. Putek!! Ang pranka naman nitong magsalita dire-diretso parang wifi. He point at leo at tuminghala sya sa langit na parang naggeguess

"Ikaw yung gago diba?" turo niya kay leo.

Di napigilan at napikon si leo sa sinabi nito at hinabol papuntang dagat. In exact one minute ng magfloat sya. Dahil sa galit nakalimutan nya  na di pala sya marunong lumangoy.

"I'm Idio by the way"-pagpapakilala nya samin. Tinaasan kolang sya ng kilay kase kabago bago nya lang magpakita inasar na nya kame. "Wala ba kayong bibig dyan na kumustahin man ako as your new friend or accquintance"

"I'll be happy to greet you in my plate"-cold na ani ni marko at napalunok ito. I heard a cricket sound. Inabot na ni noah ang lumot at  bumalik kame sa realidad. Tumaas na naman ang balahibo ko dali ko itong nilunok and I taste its bitterness and gross.

Natawa ako sa reaksyon ng mga kasamahan ko mukhang nauutot na di lumabas. Buti patas na kase noon pinagtutulungan nila ako para lang kainin ko yung lumot.

"Oh ano masarap?"-pagiging sigurista ko sabay pamewang at umiling silang sabay. Mas nadiri ako ng magsuka si yumie at naswallowed nya ulit. YAK!!! Ew!  ew! ew!
