Nagising ako nang maramdamang bakante na ang espasyo sa tabi ko, and I was right. She left me again. As I was wandering where she possible could go something has cross in my mind.

Memories of that evening were still vivid. A smile crept into my lips. I could still feel it. The heat of our bodies, as we become one, the sweetness and everything, how I hope I can still keep my mind sane.

Damn!

I can't believe she's mine, officially.

I get up, wandered around the house and when I could not find her anywhere in. I walk my way to the door when it suddenly opened.

"Damn Dork! Could you fuckin wear something?" She exclaimed slamming the door closed.

Hindi ko na napigil ang mapatawa sa kaniyang inasta. "Come on, Sweetheart it's not as if you haven't seen and fee-"

"What a Dorky act, Mallory!"

"I'm just reminding you a fact, Sweetheart." Tugon ko. “In fact, even at this moment I can still clearly recall what kind of miracle we’ve shared.” Patuya ko iyong sinabi, bagaman ay totoo.

Batid kong namumula na ito ngayon, she was acting like a wild cat but truth be told, she’s a cute kitten that night. She was so shy covering her soul to me, she even turned off the light, but then she forgot something, tila araw ang gabi sa paningin ko. I saw her soul.

“You’re so damn sexy, sweetheart” Sambit kong muli saka nagpasyang maglakad patungo sa bathroom.

Good thing I left some spare clothes and underwears here. Alam ko kasing babalik at babalik ako muli rito. 'Cause after all, it’s her home and fortunately, I'm part of her home now.

I took a quick bath, get dressed, just a khaki shorts and a button down shirt. Muli akong bumaba at nagtungo sa labas. Bumungad sa akin ang pamilyar na lamig na simoy ng hangin.

At nang magawi ang tingin ko sa gawing tabi, I saw my Goddess. She's peacefully sleeping on a rockin' chair, gaining back her energy, I can't blame her. I was an insatiable beast last night.

Muli akong napangiti, I can still hear her soft and loud moans, music to my ears. Fuck! I can't stop myself from smiling. Napawi lang iyon nang mapansing nagsimulang magpapalit palit ang buhok nito into two familiar colours.

"You okay?" I asked, worried.

Agad naman siyang nagmulat ng mata at tarantang napatayo. Ngunit kalauna'y nanghina, dahilan nang muntikan nitong pagkatumba. Maagap ko nga lang itong nasalo, I carefully made her sat back on the rockin chair.

"May problema ba?" Muli kong tanong. At nang magtama ang mga tingin namin. There I saw, she's tired... Tired for a different reason,

"A-alam na nila." Mahina nitong sambit. Malungkot ang himig.

"Alam na nila ang alin?!"

"They're now after you."

"Sandali, hindi kita maintindihan--"

"Ano mang oras, nandito na sila. Hindi na kinakaya ng enerhiya ko ang lakas nila."

"Sweetheart…calm down I can’t unders----"

"Akala ko, makakaya kong itago. I did everything to sugarcoat and sort things. I removed every trace, you left. I hid those evidences pointing you as a suspect. I tried everything I could... but why the hell could it not be enough."

I could not process it right. Hindi ko magawang intindihin. But there's something in her remarks that made me feel hurt. I could not just decipher where could possibly it be.

Saglit pa kaming nagkatitigan, when we heard a fuss in the woods and in just a minute, a group of royals appeared right before our eyes. Zannah hurriedly stood up and grabbed my right arm placing me behind her.

"Beat me first." Zannah firmly uttered.

"Zannah." When I look at the person who spoke, I saw Zegolas. He's standing beside the man with a crown and dressed up majestically.

I bet he's the King.

"I already made myself clear--"

"Zannah Clarity Jade!" The King exclaimed shutting everyone in silence.

But when he step forward, a flames suddenly rose up guarding us, and when I look at Zannah's hand, her golden bow appeared. Nagpakawala siya ng palaso paitaas, of why? Hindi ko alam.

"Forgive me your Majesty, for I'm not joking when I say, you gotta need to take me down first." Mariin parin nitong sagot.

She confirmed my assumption, he’s the king…and Zannah’s the princess. But my sweetheart is taking my side.

"And summoning Igo the Golden, won't work honey." Uttered by someone who appeared visible in our eyes by suddenly appearing, in between of us.

"L-lo,"

"Hayaan mong ako muna ang kumausap sa apo ko, Gregory. Isama mo ang konseho sa iyong paglisan. Ako na ang bahala rito."

"Ama-"

"Lubos kong kilala ang apo ko, nasisiguro kong alam na niya ang kaibahan ng tama sa mali. Hindi ba Clarity?"

And just like that, her bow and flames evanesced.
