Celeste Pov
"Hey!! Kieran. Open your window. Hindi ako makapasok" pabulong na sigaw ko. Kanina pa ko nakatayo sa harap ng bahay niya tapos hindi niya ako papasukin.
"What" malamig na tanong niya, kunot-noo niya akong tinitigan na para bang binabasa ang buong pag katao ko.
"Of course ano pa ba malamang makikikain. Wala na kasi kaming bigas eh" kamot ulo kung sabi at pilit na iniiwas ang mga paningin ko sa kanya.
We're close like really close. To the point that dito nako nakikikain sa kanila. Ang kapal ko no? Ok lang totoo naman. We meet for the second time at a famous coffee shop right outside our house. After that I started following him around asking him to be my friend.
Ang problema nga lang sa kanya ay napakasungit niya. Tapos kung magsalita naman siya subrang tipid at ikli. Sadyang makapal lang talaga ang mukha ko kaya ako lumalapit sa kanya.
"Seriously" walang gana niyang sabi at sinaraduhan ako ng pinto. I pouted and stomped my feet on the ground. Hindi niya ba alam na tumakas pa ko para lang makita siya.
I heave an exhausting sigh.
"Kung magpalibre nalang kaya ako kay Leon sigurado akong manlilibre yun" Mahinang bulong ko.
I was about to leave when I felt a dark creepy aura vibrating behind my back
It was Kieran looking so gloomy and deadly than usual. I stared at him confused. Akala ko ba ayaw niya akong papasukin, anong nangyari?.
Ang alam ko kasi ayaw na ayaw niyang nahahawakan o nakakahawak ng kahit sino. Aside from having OCD he's also a freaking clean freak, gusto niya malinis lahat ng nasa paligid niya. Idagdag na rin natin yung weird disorder niya na Iwan ko kung ano.
"Bakit?" Nagtatakang tanong ko sa kanya.
"Let's go" he simply stated. Leaving me confused and puzzled by his sudden action.
Tahimik akong pumasok sa kwarto niya at umupo sa kanyang malambot na kama. The interior design of his room was a combination of white and black. It was also dark in here and the only thing that light's the whole room was the light coming from the full moon itself.
"Kieran. I actually came here to say goodbye. Gusto kasi ni grandpa na sa kanila muna ako tumira ng pansamantala" mahinhin na sabi ko habang tinititigan ang nakakatakot ngunit napaganda niyang mga mata.
"Although it's not that long. Just probably around five to eight years. Can.....can... you wait for me Kieran I promise I'll be back" mahinang pakiusap ko sa kanya.
"Why would I?" malamig na tanong niya.
"Because..... Because we're friends. Aren't we?" Hindi ko siguradong sagot at hindi magawang tignan siya.
"Who says?"this time his voice became colder. I gulped two times before answering.
"Me?" I stupidly answered while pointing myself.
"Nonsense" walang gana niyang sagot.
"Oh. I just thought.... We were. Don't worry I won't bother you anymore I just came here to say goodbye. I also wanted to give you this" I said smiling widely while showing him the bracelet I just made.
"It's not that much. But I made it. I wanted to give you a gift before I leave. I have one too same as yours. I made it purposely bigger so you can wear them when you grow up. I hope you like it" masayang saad ko sa kanya at pinakita ang bracelet na ginawa ko na katulad rin sa kanya. It also has a cute heart right in the middle. The only difference was my bracelet was color white and his was black.
"It's ugly" he uttered harshly making my heart dropped.
I smiled bitterly.
"I know you wouldn't like it. I'll just take it home with me" mahinang sagot ko at agad na tumayo. Akmang hahakbang na sana ako ng marinig kung nagsalita siya dahilan upang mapangiti ako.
"I didn't say I didn't like it" malamig na saad niya. I look at him smiling widely from ear to ear.
After I recover from shock I run to him and embrace him with a hug. When I realized the horrible thing I've done, I walk backwards and bowed my head in embarrassment. I forgot he doesn't like being touched.
"I'm.... I'm sorry Kieran. I didn't mean it. I... I won't do it again I promise" I apologize. Gusto ko ng mag pakain sa lupa at mawala sa mundo dahil lang sa kahihiyang nagawa ko ngayon.
I was back in reality when I felt a firm hand grab me and embrace me with a hug. My eyes widen in shock that It almost has the same size of a coin. I felt his hot minty breath on the crock of my neck. He was hugging my waist tightly like he was so scared to let me go. It took me a few seconds before having th I even have to lean my feet above the floor just to have the same height as him.
"I'm gonna miss you Kieran. Wait for me okay" I whispered softly and played with his silky long hair.
After a few minutes I slowly let go of him and stared at him. I gave him a soft and gentle smile.
"I have to go now Keiran. We're living soon. Papa's probably waiting for me" I informed when I felt his grip tighten. I sighed softly and chuckled.
"Ai grijă, micul meu rai" he whispered something in another language which I didn't understand. After he whispered those words he lightly kissed my forehead. I didn't uttered anything I was still in shock and was trying to process everything that has happened to me today.

Lutang akong umuwi sa bahay. Hanggang ngayon ay gulat na gulat parin ako sa mga nangyari sa akin kanina. All the memories I had with him keep replaying inside my head like a game that cannot be stop. I'm confused.
"We have arrived Lady Celeste" I felt all my senses coming back inside of me when I heard a manly voice.
"Oh. Thank you Fabian. Please take care of my father for me, call me when something goes wrong with father okay" mahinhin na bilin ko sa kanya.
"I will surely do that my lady" he promised. Giving me a gentle smile.
"Are.....Are you crying Fabian?" I asked feeling worried when I saw a tear escape from his turquoise blue eyes.
"I'm– I'm surely gonna miss you my lady. Please take care of yourself" he sob. I stared at him shock not knowing what to do. I hugged him lightly and gave him my self-made handkerchief.
"Please take this handkerchief with you Fabian. I made it myself. I'm gonna miss you so much Fabian" I said gently.
"Did you just seriously cry Fabian. Damn, is this the sign of aging" pang-iinsulto ni Mila na kakadarating lang habang dala-dala ang mga gamit ko. I didn't quite understand what she said on the last sentence since it was nearly a whisper.
"Will I'm surely not gonna miss you little rascal" Fabian insulted back. Inirapan lamang siya ni Mila at agad na tinalikuran.
"I pity the boy who's gonna marry this girl" mahinang bulong ni Fabian ngunit rinig na rinig ko naman. I chuckled lightly, quite amuse by their bickering.
Mukhang may katapat na yata si Mila sa pagiging masungit niya. Now that I think about it hindi naman ganun kalayo ang edad nilang dalawa. Mila is already fifteen and Fabian is already nineteen. Four years gap lang ang meron sila.
