A gold crown. Kumabog ng sobra ang d****b ko at nagsimula na naman mag-unahan ulit ang mga luha ko. Marahan niya iyong hinaplos at tumingin siya sa akin ng nakangiti pero umiiyak na rin siya.

Lumipad ang mga munting petals na parang mga sangay-sangay lang at may mga feathers din naman sila para makipag-sayaw sa hangin. “I was a dandelion puff. Some saw the beauty in me and stopped quietly to admire my innocence. Others saw the potential of what I could do for them, so they uprooted me. Seeking to shape me around their needs. They blew at my head, scattering my hair from the roots. Changing me to suit them. Yet still others saw me as something that was unworthy and needed to be erased.” “Kuya, kailan mo pa namemorise ang passage na yan?”

Pero ang lahat ng mga nakikita ko ay hindi kayang tumbasan ang kasiyahan na hinahanap ko kapag kapiling ang aking mga mahal na magulang. Hayan na naman ang pagtulo ng mga luha mula sa aking mga mata. Sobrang bigat sa pakiramdam na malayo sa aking inay at itay. Sila na lamang ang meron ako. Wala akong magagawa lalo na at narito ako sa poder ng lalaking hindi ko kailanman nakikilala. Narinig ko ang pagtikhim mula sa aking likuran. "Gusto kong ipakita mo sa akin ang kanang-balikat mo," utos ni Micah sa akin.

I could actually feel his breath near my mouth. "Gusto ko lang naman iparamdam sa'yo na you are more than what you think of," he sounded so hopeless. He cupped my cheek and made me look at him. "You are a hopeless case." Napa-upo si Sky sa sofa chair at hinilot niya ang kanyang sintido. Moments later ay narinig namin ang pag bukas ng pinto. Steph peeped in and showed us a Starbucks paper bag. "Coffee?" She smiled genuinely at us. I saw Sky sighed and forced a smile.

Kiss me sweet, I'm sleeping in silence All alone in ice and snow In my dreams, I'm calling your name You are my love In your eyes, I searched for my memory Lost in vain so far in the scenery Hold me tight and whisper again and again We'll never be apart If you could touch my feather softly I give you my love...

' -- Kaya heto siya ngayon, nakaluhod sa harapan ni Hope para hingiin ang kamay nito at tuparin ang pangako niya. "Oo naman," umiiyak nitong tugon. "Kahit kelan, kahit saan, Kaden!" Isinuot niya ang singsing sa daliri nito, tumayo at mahigpit itong niyakap. "Hindi ko maitapon-tapon ang singsing na iyan, Hope. 'Yon pala ay simbolo iyan ng pangako kong kailangan kong tuparin." Sinagot na niya ang 'di nito naisatinig na katanungan kung bakit nasa kanya ang singsing na ipinatapon nito noon. "Mahal na mahal kita, Hopie..."

Natatakot siya sa nararamdaman niyang iyon dahil alam niya sa sarili na posible siyang makagawa ng masama dahil doon. Napatingin si Hope sa nakabukas na malaking bintana nang umihip ang malakas na hangin. Pagkatapos ng ilang sandali ay mariin siyang napapikit at marahas na pinahid ang kaniyang luha sa pisngi. "I don't want to turn evil... So, please... don't save me." *****

RUAN'S P. O. V Hope had become a puzzle, a captivating enigma wrapped in a sleek black dress and a pair of sparkling eyes. She was always busy, her fingers flying across the keyboard, her phone glued to her ear, her mind seemingly miles away. It wasn't the usual Hope, the one who could always find time for a quick chat, a shared laugh, a playful banter. This Hope was focused, determined, her energy directed towards something I couldn't quite grasp.
