Chapter 19

The culprit behind

Rapid heartbeats?

It only happened to me when I know that I'm losing someone dearly to me.

Wobbling knees?

Only when I saw my family's grave.

Hypnotized?

Only when I smell the breeze of the sea. And when I see the natural color of mountains and forests.

Breaking my own principles?

Nah, that never happened before.

But now? It all did. Only because of that damn General who possess the eyes of emerald, the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen.

But I never regret all the feelings that I've felt. I don't even regret breaking my own principles. Because if breaking it means owning him, then I will do it a countless times.

Marahan na 'kong bumangon sa kama ko matapos makita ang kaunting liwanag mula sa labas. Pakiramdam ko ay hindi ako nakatulog dahil sa dami ng isipin, naroon iyong tungkol sa 'min ni Styyx, tungkol sa bansa, at ang taong nasa likod ng pagkamatay ni Mr. Guanzon.

Nagdasal muna ako bago tuluyang tumayo at nagpunta sa banyo.

I let the water cloake my body with my thoughts rushing in.

Mnemosyne was right.

Being inlove is wonderful. Even tho I don't get enough sleep, I still feel so light like I know that this day will gonna be wonderful.

After minutes of preparing myself. I went to my transparent door towards the terrace and open the huge curtain that's covering it together with the door.

The morning sun's rays greeted me. The moment it kissed my skin I feel like the sun is smiling on me.

I even wave on the passing birds.

My mood right now is too good.

I feel like everything is smiling at me and greeting me a very magnificent morning.

I glanced at my watch and it's currently 3:30 in the morning.

Pero dahil alam kong marami pa akong gagawin sa opisina ay saglit na lang akong nag-microwave ng pagkain, since mang Erwin and Mnemosyne are still asleep.

Even the pancake that I'm eating, I feel like it's smiling on me.

Damn! Is this really the feeling of being inlove? Shit, I feel like I'll be a loyal patient to a particular mental asylum.

Geez! I'm being pathetic..

Lalo pa akong napamura matapos tumunog ang cellphone ko. Nang tingnan ko kung bakit ay kusang kumawala ang isang ngiti mula sa labi ko.

:Good morning to my beautiful President, I love you..

With all his creepy heart emojis ay hindi ko na napigilang mapangiti.

How could he do this? How could this happen?

Bigla na lang sa isang pagkakataon ay nakita ko ang sarili kong nakangiti at hulog na hulog sa lalaking bumati sa umaga ko.

Ang kan'yang berdeng mga mata ang s'yang lubos kong hinangaan. Ang mga berde n'yang mga mata na kung aakalain mo ay isang hipnotismo at hindi isang organ.

Ang pinakamagandang mga mata na nakita ko sa tanang buhay ko.

Totoo nga ang sinasabi nila. Ang mga mata ng tao ang s'yang pinakamagandang pisikal na asset nito.
