-XAVIER'S P.O.V-
Pagdating na pagdating ko sa destinasyon namin ay agad kung tinigil ang sasakyan. We where here in batanggas where my town house is located. A place I truly treasure.
I gazed upon Feathers innocent face lying in my shoulder. I touched her cheeks and traced the line of her nose. Untill I felt my tears slowly running down my cheeks.
I gave in a deep sighed.
I don't know if tama pa batong ginagawa ko but I can't miss the chance to be with her but the thought of hurting her put pains in my heart.
Why does it have to be like this?
Kung kailan ko narealize kong gano ko kamahal si Feather bilang siya at kung kailan na we have the chance to start over ay nangyari lahat nang kamalasang ito. If I follow my heart I know I would hurt Feather the most... she will lose something she can never have again forever if ipagpapatuloy ko ang pagmamahal ko sa kanya. And I know it is something I couldn't give her, something my wealth can't afford.
Karma ko na bato sa sa lahat nang mga napatay ko?
Diko mapigilang magalit sa isip ko habang inaalala ang kawalang hiyaan ni Althea why does she have to go this far? Ba't kailangan niya pang sirain lahat. That damn girl! If only I could kill her I wouldn't hesitate to. I'm just a call away to kill her but I just can't. She fucked the moment when she called me a while ago. Well she has already called me nang nasa cebu kami that time na papunta kami ni Feather sa parking lot dahil blackmail.
"Xavier....Xavier.... You know what.. Sana pala naisip ko nato noon pa... but it's better late than never.. you only have two options dear... be with her... stay with her.. but I will make sure na di ka na niya mapapatawad... I will make sure that she will remorse you for the rest of her life... choose Xavier.. Is it hurting feather by leaving her? Or hurting her the most if you stay with her?" Parang sirang plakang paulit-ulit na nakaplay sa isipan ko ang sinabing banta ni Althea. She's a devil hiding in her families Mafia Organization. I can't help to think of killing her on my mind. If only I could, I will pero hawak niya ako sa leeg and even with my position it's hard to think of getting out of this messed Althea caused.
"You have 5 days to sort out things. Xavier. 5 days leave it or take it"Untad ni Althea at tumawa. I just wanna kill her at sunugin.
"Are you all right Xavier?" Dali-dali akong ngumite As I faced Feather na kakagising lang sa tabi ko.
" Yes...Love masaya lang akong nasa tabi kita." I sincerely stated to her hiding the sadness in my face knowing I'll be breaking her again after this. I kissed her forehead at sinabing nandito na kami.
"Let's go nandito na tayo." Ani ko sa kanya kaya napalibot siya nang tingin sa paligid. Ngali-ngali siyang napalabas sa sasakyan habang masaya ko siyang tinitingnan.
Nanlalaki ang namamaga niyang mata galing sa kakaiyak kanina at tulog habang napatingin sa ganda nang tanawin kahit gabi na.
Indeed, the place is quite a masterpiece up here on the hill. We can see the wholeness of the sea while the light from the lighthouse is reflecfed on it's surface. The view is quiet amazing.
Mataman lang akong nakatingin sa masayang mukha ni Feather and for me it was contentment inside me just seeing her happy. Lumingon siya sa akin at agad akong dinamba ng yakap habang mahina akong napatawa sa ginawa niya.
"Thank you Xavier for bringing me here.. I truly appreciated this.." Saad niya while she cuddled her face in my body.
Itinaas ko ang mukha niya at tiningnan siya.
"As I am to you Feather.." I stated as I slowly kissed her passionately under the moonlight and in a breezy cold air.
5 days Feather... I will make sure to make this 5 day's worth it... I know you will hate me after this... I will be breaking your heart again but I can't afford to see you suffer because of me and lost something I couldn't never give back to you.
-Feather's P.O.V-
"As I am to you Feather." Xavier kissed me passionately as I responded with the same intensity.
We kissed untill we can't catch our breaths.
"I just hope time stops..." Bigla kong nasambit sa kanya nakatingin lang kami sa isa't isa as I saw how his eyes blinked twice.
"We can't foresee our future... things may end up changing no matter how we prevent it...there's no assurance...but know this Feather..." I was just looking at Xavier intently while he was talking seriously gazing at the view infront of us...then he stopped speaking and gazed upon me.
"The only thing I'm sure in this world is my love for you... it took me many times of foolishness... but here I am cherishing you....I can't promise you the future but I can promise you my love." What he spilled leaves me breathless with butterflies circling in my stomach. He's words really do lighten the loads in my heart. For the first time in 3 years I will be Feather for who really I am. Free from guilt and free from pain.
"Tara it's getting cold... pumasok na tayo.." Agad akong tumalima at nagpatianod sa hawak niya habang naglakad patungo sa bahay malapit sa lighthouse.
Namangha ako sa disenyo nang bahay niya dito sa batanggas. It's a two story house. What caught my eye is the terrace filled with flowers inside it.
Xavier opened the door for me and took my hand and leaded the way. Agad kaming nagpunta sa terrace and the view up here is much more eyes sparkling and breathtaking. Napakaganda nang tanawin.
"You are just as the view up here...natural but beautiful." Ito na naman si Xavier papalakihin na naman ang ulo ko.
Our eyes meet and I saw the longings in his eyes. He suddenly lowered his head and kissed me torridly as if there's no tomorrow.
I was wrapped by his bodily warmth and foresaw what will happen next. He lifted me easily and walk as if I'm like weightless feather. I don't know how he did it but he opened the door and hurriedly entered.
Maingat niya akong inihiga and saw how his manly eyes burning up with longings but at the same time with love.
We made love untill we can't find no more strength and let sleepiness dragged us, as we cuddled to each other.
