That Merman (Brightwin Fanfic)

Chapter 3

"Oh, you would stay here?"

Bright pursed his lips. He is sure on staying because he's been thinking about it many times back in his room. Addition of that he needs to see the merman again so he can be sure that he is not hallucinating that night seeing a merman. He nodded, "Yeah, Bro. You know we needed some relaxation."

His friend tapped his shoulder and then leave. They will go to another place spend their honeymoon. He doesn't know if the guests already went home or just like him spend more days in the resort. Well, he doesn't care about that but just the merman.

Hindi niya alam kung ano bang dapat niyang gawin para makita ulit ang sirenong iyon. Pinuntahan niya ang lugar kung saan niya iyon nakita pero nadismaya lamang siya na wala siyang naabutan. Tanging mga hampas lang ng mga alon sa dagat ang maririnig.

While staying there he suddenly remember the smile of the man and he find it really beautiful. Is he that mad crazy to that merman? Did it cast a spell for him to be like this? No one knows.

One thing that is certain, he wants to see that merman again.

The first day on finding the merman named Metawin, he didn't get any clues about him. Bright laughed at himself. This is not him. He, who always mingle with lots of girls now finding a man that he just saw for the first time and the fact that it's not just a simple man but a merman. A beautiful merman. He must be insane.

How insane that he could do everything to see that smile again. He knew himself that he won't get involved in a same person again after a one hot night or whatever. He would leave immediately in a scene and avoid the place where he met the person. Yes, he is an asshole.

Is this a karma to him for keeping on playing with girls? He thinks so.

The second day of finding him. There is still no progress.

He started to think that this is ridiculous. Who would believe that he saw a merman? they would think he is crazy and say it's just exist in fairy tales.

On the third day that night he went to the same bar to drown himself in alcohol. But it's just only alcohol beside him there's no more girls.

He is in his third bottle when he took out the thing he brought. The pipe.

He laughed. "Did he really gave this thing to me?"

Lumipas ang oras na umiinom lang siya mag-isa. Tinatawanan ang sarili. Kinukumbinsi ang sarili na hindi totoo lahat ng nangyari ng gabing iyon. Pero bakit nakikita niya pa rin yung ngiti nung sirenong 'yon. Yung mata nitong kumukurba kapag ngumingiti ito. Yung malambot na labi nito na ramdam niya pa rin nung hinalikan niya ito. Hindi pwedeng imahinasyon niya lang iyon. Hindi pwede.

Lumabas siya at pagewang-gewang kung maglakad dahil sa kalasingan sa lugar kung saan sila nagkita. Parte ng dalampasigan na hindi masyado pinupuntahan ng mga tao.

Nilabas niya ang kabibeng pito at tinitigan ang dagat, "Sana sa pagtunog ko nito ay dumating ka na."

Inilapit niya ito sa kaniyang labi at nag-ipon muna ng hangin bago niya ito ibinuga sa pipe. Lumikha ito ng dalawang mahabang tunog. Umaasa na sana ay marinig ito ng sireno.

Pagkatapos niyon ay muling umibabaw ang tunog ng mga alon sa dagat at ingay ng mga kuliglig.

Nang ilang minuto na walang hudyat ng pagdating ng sireno ay muli nadismaya siya. Binitiwan niya ang pipe sa buhangin at inihubad ang pang-itaas na damit. Unti-unti siyang lumalapit sa tubig, hindi niya alam kung bakit. Tila talagang may kung anong mahika ang ginamit sa kanya at nagkakaganito siya.

Hanggang dibdib na niya ang tubig dagat at tuloy-tuloy pa rin siyang pumupunta sa pinakailalim. Wala namang problema kung malalim ito dahil marunong naman siyang lumangoy. San ba siya makakarating kung patuloy siya lumangoy? Sa lugar kung nasaan ang mga sirena at sireno? Siguro.

Patuloy siyang lumalangoy nang biglang may kung anong parang may humahatak sa paa niya pailalim. Malakas ang pwersa nito kaya kahit pinipigilan niya na hilahin siya nito ay nahihirapan siya. Nakakainom na siya ng tubig at nahihirapan na rin siya huminga kaya nagpaubaya na lang siya at tuluyan siya nahila pailalim. Habang pumapaibaba siya ay nawala na yung pwersa ngunit Nawala na ang lakas ni Bright nung lumalaban siya.

'Mawawala na ba agad ako? Mamamatay ba ako sa ganitong paraan? Bakit ko nakikita ang mukha ni Metawin? Ganito siguro kapag sinusundo ka na ni kamatayan. Nakikita mo yung mga mukha ng mahal mo sa buhay.' Mga tanong niya sa isip niya. Unti-unting pumipikit ang mga mata ni Bright hanggang sa tuluyan na itong mawalan ng malay

"BRIGHT!!!"
