THE ADVENTURE OF AUGUST BACK TO EARTH

47. Wayward Feelings

August's POV

Until now I still can't move on with what Cayden asked from me. I am now facing Fyro and he's purring and rubbing his head under my palm. I can hear his whining sound I don't even know if that means he's crying or something. But even though Fyro is in front of me my mind is wandering.

Flashback:

"Ay yun lang naman pala eh sige—" but I paused as the thought sunk in my mind. Did I heard it correctly? "Huh? What was that again?"

"I said..... Marry me.... Marry me August." Ulit nito sa akin and now, I am more than 100% sure of what I heard.

Hindi agad ako nakapagsalita dahil doon. Is he serious? Or he is just pulling my leg? Or is this a prank? Kaya natawa ako and seems like can't believe of what I heard from him.

"You're kidding me right?" Natatawang tanong ko rito. Yeah, this might just be a freaking joke. Like why would Cayden marry someone like me? Yeah he did tried to marry my twin but I am a different story from crying out loud.

"I've never been so serious in my life as this August... This is something that I could not joke with. I've been thinking about it since we got back here in Pandora. I wanted to—"

"Hey stop right there!" Stopped him. This is so much to take in. I mean, I am not prepared for this. Ni hindi pa dumapo sa utak ko ang pakasalan si Cayden or buhay may asawa kasama si Cayden. I can't even think how will I answer his question.

"C-cayden... we should not be talking about that. I mean, marriage did not yet occurred to me." Saad ko rito and I saw disappointment reflected in his eyes. It breaks my heart when I saw it but I can't answer his question half heartedly. "Cayden, I'm sorry but... It's too fast, I think we need still to get to know more with each other. We just got back together and I have flaws that you might not like it... I don't want you ended up marrying me and regret in the end. Marriage is not something that if you won't like it, you'll just break it off and it is not something that we rush. I really do hope so that you will understand Cayden."

Cayden did not utter a single thing. He only stared at me with painful eyes. I think I empathized on him. I can feel it. He's in pain and I think I broke his heart.

"Okay." Malamig na sagot ni Cayden and he immediately got up from the bed and he left my room without any words.

Pabagsak akong naupo sa aking kama. Somehow, guild flooded my system. But I don't to say yes when I know that I am not ready yet. When he asked me to marry him, I felt scared and I know why. There are lot of reasons I can name and I don't want to say yes. It will only like he was taken for granted. This is not the time, it's too soon.

End of Flashback

Napabuntong hininga na lamang ako dahil sa nangyare kanina. Now, I could not see Cayden. He's nowhere insight. But I have this strong feeling na iniiwasan niya ako. Though he's busy but I just have this feeling or maybe I am just being hypocrite.

I looked on Fyro that is now looking at me. "Fyro, are they going to do something to you?" Tanong ko rito. I must be crazy. I know Fyro won't answer. How can he even understand a human language? Pero nagulat na lang ako ng umiling ito. I blink not one but thrice. He shook his head mean he understands what I am talking about but clearly he can't speak.

Umungol ungol lang si Fyro na hindi ko naman maintindihan kung ano ang ibig sabihin. I am not some god that I can understand a beast language. Napabuntong hininga na lang ako. So Cayden is just making that story? For what? What will be his benefit by making that story up?
