"His lips, which bore a striking resemblance to the rich red color of ripe apples, presented a captivating spectacle. The allure they exuded promised sweetness and indulgence, reminiscent of the exquisite flavor of honey. Unbeknownst to me, an overpowering attraction compelled me to draw nearer to his serene countenance, as if being guided by an imperceptible thread. My own lips instinctively adjusted, aligning flawlessly to meet his."

CHAPTER 17: WHISPERS OF THE HEART [PART II]

ELLIE REIGN MORRIS

I find myself perspiring once more, despite the extremely cold temperature inside Hiyaschi's automobile. In addition, my extremities are trembling and my cardiovascular system is experiencing an increased pulse rate, resembling the rapid rhythm of a drumbeat. The prevailing silence that envelops us further amplifies my uneasiness.

Why do I experience such emotions whenever he is in close proximity to me?

What is the rationale behind his presence having such a profound impact on my emotional state?

Furthermore, I am reluctant to initiate a conversation due to the potential for it to delve into the unfortunate events that unfolded previously. In addition, there is a chance that he may subject me to disparaging remarks as a result of the earlier mistakes I committed. Dahil dito, mas gusto ko na lang itago ang mga salita sa aking bibig, pigilin ang aking mga saloobin, at panatilihin ang nakakailang na katahimikan na namamayani sa pagitan namin.

"Fasten your seat belt," I was taken aback by Hiyaschi's sudden utterance as he gradually shifted his gaze in my direction.

"Ah, sorry." Immediately, I averted my gaze from him and expeditiously extended my arm to grasp the seatbelt attached to the side of my seat. I diligently ensured my safety by promptly fastening it, unfazed by the trembling of my hands.

"Hiyaschi..." Mahinang panimula ko at bahagyang lumingon sa kanya.

"Ang galing ng ginawa mo kanina." I notified him, displaying a smile that conveyed a certain level of uncertainty.

However, his lack of response to my statement was non-existent, resulting in an escalated level of discomfort for me.

He proceeded to release a deliberate exhalation, indicating an imminent expression of verbal communication.

Without a moment's hesitation, I instinctively brought my hands to my ears, pressing them firmly against the sides of my head. The realization dawned upon me that the forthcoming words he was about to unleash would carry a weight of negativity, piercing through the air like shards of broken glass. A surge of apprehension coursed through my veins, causing my heart to race and my breath to catch in my throat.
