Her Eternity

[Chapter 65: Game Over]

*Aphrodite's Point of View

I gradually take a look at the sky as soon as we arrived at the place where I usually go with my family, right after I'm done training back at the Alum. This place is quite far enough to travel from the Alum, but I swore to myself that I'll always visit this place.

Napalingon naman ako kay Zack na halos hindi alam kung anong sasabihin habang patuloy niyang nililibot ang paningin niya sa paligid.

"Where are we?"

Sandali naman akong tumawa ng mahina, bago tumingin sa kaniya at ngumiti.

"This place is my runaway."I blurted out before going to him and reached out for his hand.

Kunot-noo naman niya akong tinignan nang marinig ang sinabi ko. When I held his hand, I guided him through the spot where I usually stand to view the city.

Halos makita ko naman kung paano siya mapaawang ng bibig nang makita niya ang sandamakmak na ilaw mula sa baba.

I followed his gaze as I clinged on to him.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?"I unknowingly said out of nowhere. Naramdaman ko naman na inakbayan niya ako pagkatapos kong sabihin 'yon.

"It is."Hearing what he said, I quickly take a look at him. But I immediately couldn't helped but to blush the moment his face is almost inches away from me.

Mabilisan naman akong napapikit nang bigla siyang magnakaw ng isang halik sa labi ko na agad ko namang ikinangiti.

I just flashed him a smile, before gazing back to the city.

"Why did you call this place as your runaway?"I smiled, as soon as I heard his question.

Umalis naman ako sa tabi niya at sandaling umupo sa lupa, bago tumingin sa kaniya at sumagot.

"It's where I usually go whenever I went from the Alum."

Sumunod naman siya sa akin at sabay na umupo. Agad naman akong sumandal sa kaniya nang biglang sumulpot sa utak ko lahat ng naging memorya ko dito nung bata pa ako.

I immediately smile under beneath my breath when I felt him caressing my hair.

Pero agad namang nawala ang ngiti ko nang balak ko sanang pumikit na naging dahilan naman para mapaalis ako sa pagkakasandal sa kaniya at sabay na pinakiramdaman ang paligid.

"Why did you even asked me about running away?"

Agad namang bumalik ang atensyon ko sa kaniya nang marinig 'yon at sabay na binigyan siya ng isang matamis na ngiti nang sunod na ginawa ko ay tumingin sa langit.

"I never really thought of running away."I bluntly said as I look at him.

"It's just, this place has been very special to me."Dagdag ko pa.

"Why do you say so?"

Bigla naman akong nanlumo nang marinig ko ang inaasahan kong tanong na maririnig ko mula sa kaniya.

I felt him approached me and placed his arm across my shoulder. Sumandal naman ulit ako sa kaniya pagkatapos 'non.

"This was the last place I saw my father alive."I weakly smiled. Dahan-dahan niya naman akong inalis sa pagkakasandal sa kaniya nang marinig ang sinabi ko.

"This is where he gave me the note that I've been keeping for almost 10 years."I once again flashed him a little smile.

"You mean the note regarding—"
