Richard's heart raced with anticipation as Khana agreed to go on a date with him. He had invested so much effort into arranging this before his urgent trip to China that he had no choice but to return to his hometown to fix the deficit project their company was facing, and now, finally, they were spending time together. As Richard and Khana sat across from each other at a quaint cafe, the atmosphere was warm, but Khana's mind was far from the pleasant surroundings. He couldn't help but steal glances at Khana, trying to decipher her mood. He kept looking at her, trying to read her mood.
Richard hesitated to ask the lady to leave the country and be wherever he was. He's too afraid to trigger her irritation because she might walk away and refuse to open her heart. The gentleman wants to open her heart slowly but surely. He will never give up until she falls for him.
Khana, on the other hand, viewed this outing purely as a friendly hangout. Her mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, unable to shake the vivid scenarios she had conjured up—images of the priest and Sister Anissa smiling sweetly at each other.
She breathed a heavy breath upon realizing how dirty her mind had become. It was too shameful to think malicious things about two innocent people who dedicated their lives to the church. She inwardly scolded herself. How could she allow her mind to turn so impure?
Richard was met with resistance when he attempted to reach for Khana's hand, hoping to establish a closer connection. He reached out tentatively, hoping to grasp her hand, but she shifted slightly, causing him to withdraw, wounded by her unintended rejection—or was it intentional? Doubt crept in as he observed her silent demeanor.
Richard's heart sank. Was Khana deliberately avoiding his touch, or was it merely a coincidence? Doubt gnawed at him.
Richard jolted when Khana suddenly excused herself, Richard could only nod in response, masking his disappointment behind a polite smile. Shortly after he watched her leave to find a lavatory.
Meanwhile, Khana found herself staring at her reflection in the restroom mirror, her expression wrought with guilt and indecision. She studied how stressed she must've looked. Today marked a milestone in her relationship with Richard—ten years together—but her heart was heavy with unresolved emotions from the past. Such long years together, however, it can't beat the 15-year feelings she still holds for that priest.
"I'm so wicked," she whispered to her reflection, chastising herself for the turbulent thoughts that had plagued her throughout the day. It wasn't fair to Richard, whom she had leaned on for years to escape the memory of Henry, her unattainable love.
Throughout their relationship, it looks like she just used him to forget Henry. "How did I become this wicked? I don't want to hurt him anymore," Khana murmured. At the back of her mind, she needs to end her wickedness to set her free from being trapped in uncertainty.
Determined to break free from this cycle of wickedness she's feeling, Khana's resolve is to seek guidance from the priest tonight. She needed clarity to move forward, although it may sound like an excuse. She decided to meet the priest as soon as Richard flew to China tonight. She thought to determine what she must do to go on; one must have an encounter with the source of chaos in her heart.
"Tonight, I must know what I should keep," she uttered before turning her back from the mirror and leaving the lavatory, mustering the courage to confront her inner turmoil.
When Khana returned to the table, Richard offered her a warm smile, masking the uncertainty he felt inside. "Are you alright?" he asked gently, concerned by her distant demeanor.
Khana managed a faint smile in return, her mind still preoccupied with the impending conversation she would have with the priest. "Yes, just needed a moment," she replied, her voice tinged with a hint of apprehension.
As they continued their evening, Richard tried to engage Khana in light conversation, attempting to ease the tension he sensed emanating from her.
"It's about time. Let me drive you home before heading to the airport," says Richard.
Khana nodded her head, then vacated her seat. She took her sling bag and walked beside Richard. The latter has been glancing at the hands of the lady next to him. He wants to hold her hand while walking but chooses not to go overboard since the lady has not recovered some pieces of her lost memories.
He simply clenched his fist and thought everything had been ruined since the priest's appearance. They could have been 'husbands and wives' now if only the lady had not hesitated, then Khana would not have gotten involved in that tragedy. He blames it on fate, most of all; if only fate did not play with their lives.
"No need to drop me home," says Khana without even meeting his gaze. She was too focused on the pavement.
Richard would have insisted if only the lady had not added, "I'll accompany you until your flight."
Once they arrived at the airport, Richard muttered his courage and asked Khana, "Would it be too much if I ask you to fly to China too?"
"I-I will think about it," she replied.
Later that night, after bidding Richard farewell, Khana made her way to the church where the priest resided.
"Good evening. Isn't you the one who took care of Fr. Henry?" She was greeted warmly by Sister Anissa, who sensed the weight of Khana's visit.
"I'm here for confession. Can Father Henry accommodate my presence?" Khana replied with a hesitant smile.
"I'll call him for you. Please wait in the confession room," The nun replied.
"Thank you," Khana replied. Then, she headed to the confession room.
Shortly after, she heard a sound coming from the other side of the room.
"Is it you, Fr. Henry?" she asked.
"Please don't tell me this is just one of your excuses to meet me. This is a sacred place, Khana."
"How bold of you to assume it. However, you're not wrong anyway. I'm here to invite you over to my place. I want closure. Please meet me as I'll fly to China."
"I bet you are still distracted by my presence, which is why you are avoiding me. Do you still love me?"
"I don't"
"Then prove it. Meet me privately. I'll stop pestering you if you show me you are no longer affected."
She heard him sigh.
"Fine, but I won't last long. I'm doing this to let you know I am no longer affected, so stop assuming things," says Henry. He knew it was risky, but to end things, they must have a proper private closure...
Henry sat in the silence that followed the lady's departure, the creak of the door echoing in his mind like a portentous bell tolling. He massaged his temples, feeling the weight of his emotions pressing against his head."What have I gotten myself into?" His voice was a mere murmur, barely audible in the heavy stillness of the room.A knock startled him from his thoughts, and he looked up to see Sister Anissa entering, her face etched with concern."Father, the lady has left," she said softly.Henry straightened, attempting to regain his composure. "Ah, yes. I was... in prayer," he replied, his words stumbling slightly."I apologize for interrupting, Father," Anissa said, bowing her head."No trouble at all, Sister. Please, attend the church while I'm away," Henry instructed, gesturing towards her duties."Where are you headed, Father?" Anissa asked, curiosity coloring her voice."Just for a brief stroll," Henry answered vaguely, offering no further explanation."Very well. Take care
"I even packed my things that day to run away with you! But you ghosted me. I should not have this lingering feeling for you because you vanish and show up as someone far from my league," Khana cried in frustration."It was you who did not show up that time. I was there the whole day, but you never came," Henry responded with a calm voice since he would never yell at her. Khana and Henry stood facing each other, their expressions a mixture of confusion, hurt, and a growing realization that something sinister had interfered with their past."What do you mean? I was drenched in rain waiting for you the whole day at our meeting place!" Khana yelled, her voice laced with frustration."Rain? How come you were drenched when the sky had not cried for the whole day?" the confused priest, Henry, replied, trying to make sense of the conflicting memories."Are you telling me I'm lying?! I waited for you from three in the midnight until eight in the evening, but neither your shadow appeared!" Kh
Henry looked away first and gazed upon the wall next to him. He uttered, "All this time, I thought you had a change of heart. Even though we shared a night, I was unsure what you felt about me. And I have never properly expressed that you are what my heart desires." Henry cleared his throat, breaking the tense silence. "However, that's all in the past. There's no point dwelling on it now, except for the sake of clarity. I hope this meeting can bring closure and allow you to move forward with your life.""Khana, there's no point lingering in the love we couldn't have. I truly loved you, but that was all part of history," he added.Khana rose from her seat, stepping closer until she had Henry pinned against the sofa. She fixed him with a piercing stare, freezing him in place with the intensity of her gaze. She had a way of captivating his senses."Show me that your feelings for me are truly in the past," Khana demanded, her fingers tracing the contours of Henry's face. "I'll kiss you.
"A-Ahhh," he screamed in his husky voice, and such a sexy sound was music to Khana's ears. She sucked deeper in and out, sucking out his soul. Henry could not understand himself as if he's gone insane.Henry's hand was on Khana's hair, and even though he didn't mean to, a hand was already pulling the lady's hair. It didn't hurt the lady, but instead, it excited her more. At the back of Khana's head, her mind has been saying, "I guess, I'm driving you crazy, huh? How about I suck you harder?"She licked the tip of it as if it were her favorite lollipop. The guy's thing was big and just right in size, six inches long. It was just her type, a plaything between his legs that was not too short or long, yet not too small and too big, just enough to fit her mouth and her flower.Shortly after, she felt something was coming up, and Khana wasn't wrong. A white sticky thing has defiled her mouth. She was satisfied, but there was more she wanted than having the restless guy's 'thing' defiling h
Although she was engaged to Richard, they never had this intimacy in bed because she never allowed it to happen. Henry is the first guy who buds her flower when they are both not of legal age. And, now, he is still the first to have a taste of her older self.The two wild souls were drowning in pleasure, and neither couldn't bring themselves to their senses. It's driving her crazy, having Henry sucking his booby again while sliding his two fingers in and out between his legs. She's like a seashell that spreads more upon cast into the flame as much as how her legs spread wider."I want you inside me, now..." She whispered to his ears while slightly pulling his hair.He could hear her heavy breath. She's gasping for air while moaning. It was a piece of music to his ears. Also, seeing her expressions is like a form of art he adores. She grabbed his arm and buried her nails as he made his way inside her. Her head tilted left and right every time he moved in and out. She even bit her lo
Khana woke up tied in the middle of a crowd cursing her, calling names. She wanted to scream for help, but her mouth was trampled with a piece of clothing. She was confused. The last thing she remembered was falling asleep next to the man she admired. What's all the fuss? Why is she tied like a witch in the witch craze? She can't help but keep a lot of questions in her head. "May you rot in hell!" says the crowd while throwing eggs and cabbage at her. Suddenly, Richard stands out from the crowd. Richard was holding a stick with blazing fire. He glared at her and mouthed, "You and him shall burn to death."It was at that moment she realized a black fabric next to her. The crowd removed it and a man with blood all over his face appeared."Henry!" Khana screamed in horror. She frantically moved, wanting to escape from being tied. Suddenly, the long sturdy stick where she was hanging had lost its footing to the ground. She looked down, her heart pounding in her chest as she realized
Henry's expression turned grim as they exchanged anxious glances. They couldn't risk letting anyone discover their clandestine affair. Khana's mind raced, a surge of panic overwhelming her.As the doorbell rang again, their options dwindled. Khana's mind whirled with fear and uncertainty. If it was Richard, how would they explain their presence here together?"We have to do something," Khana urged, voice trembling. "What if it's Richard?"Khana’s heart raced as the doorbell echoed through the house. She and Henry stood frozen, their tense conversation interrupted by the unexpected sound. With a sinking feeling, Khana’s mind raced through possibilities. She swallowed hard, her throat dry. Then, headed to the window to check whoever the person was waiting outside. However, she can't figure out who it was. Thus, she had no choice but to open the door."If it's Richard he should have entered the house without even knocking, or else he left his spare key here," Khana mumbled. "Stay here,”
Across the pale evening sky, St. XXX church loomed with its towering spire pointing to heaven as if in silent prayer. Inside, the air was cool and mellowed with the sweet tones of incense, a reminder of sacred ceremonies that had been held in the place. Her heart pounding in her chest, Bettina sounded along the stone floor as she walked with a purpose down the nave of the church.Father Henry was at the altar on his knees in deep meditation. Shadows from the flickering candlelight danced against his serene face, bringing clarity into the cool resolution of his eyes. He did not hear Bettina as she approached him, and it was not until she almost stood beside him that he noticed her presence in the stillness of the sacredness about them."Father Henry," she called out sharply, her voice cutting through the air like a knife.Henry turned, a look of surprise crossing his features before he composed himself. "Miss Bettina, what brings you here at this hour?"Bettina took a deep breath, stea
