Chapter 15

Year 1897

It was a cloudy afternoon, when a girl who were standing right next to a mango tree tries to catch the mango that was fallin' because of the heavy wind coming from the east part of the mountains. It is where she must supposed to calmly rest in a soothed sound of the birds coming into the area. But unfortunately, it is when the wind keeps blowing and the mangoes are keep falling to the direction she had.

A guy was standing near her, tries to take off his hat and put it on to his chest before coming into her direction.

Are you okay? He noticed her struggling to catch that mangoes with her own force and strength.

Yeah! --- she tries to stay calm and just let him feel unnoticed that.

Can I do it for you? instead of asking back, he held his hands and extend that help for her.

My name is Senor Fedel Gracia, it is my first time going here. At some point, I realized I should stay and go here more often.

How come did you here? She told him.

It isn't your place to go with, it is our own property and only few authorized people can go here, she insisted.

She looks like a little sarcastic on how the way she reacts, Fedel keep his best not to say anything,

"I will work for your dreams at night, I and Jelu will work for it". that's the only thing he remembers, to keep his way near her.

She's still into her, she's more than beautiful when she's in this state. He looks her before putting a little smile on his face, looking back to Isabella's appearance when they were still together.

Why are you laughing? she asked him with that sarcastic face and attitude.

I'm sorry I'm not laughing, it's just I remember someone that are very similar to you.

"I don't have much time to talk about nonsense things, can you please just go out here' or else strange wild animals will haunt you".

What should I do?

He asked her.

It doesn't matter what type of wild animals he can deal with this time, as long as he knows his heart is happy, and overwhelmed he sees her, he's totally fine. If only he could just turned back time, he will not let her sleep for so long.

After that conversation he needs to remind his self, lend to the things he must first focus on. The first encounter was done, he successfully becoming strange and not let himself be caught, for some reason it would be more easier for him to let her love him. The only plan he has right now,

"Focus on being Senor Fedel Gracia, change the world and the fate that awaits for both of you". The road might not be easy to take, it will lead him to destinations that would need him to choose again', but that's the only way for him to take her back home".

I know sooner, we will have the same road and fate, the same feelings and love, that leads us to conquer our pasts.

Senor Fedel.

The full moon festival celebrated every end quarter of the month, every now and then it is one of the best festival this city had, aside from that the reason why they were celebrating it, it's because they believe that luck comes in every end of the month opening a new month again for everyone, it symbolizes hope and progress month of living , and at some part of life it is when the curse happened at the same time proactively present.

How come you both sits on the same group?

As far as I remember you're great enemies.

He was about to get some food on the table when he heard a woman talks at her back, she looks familiar to him, every single day he have, he learns more and takes things seriously for common.

How come you both here? when you were both enemies?

What does she mean?

He have to face the woman who was sitting right next to a guy, and that pretty face showed up the moment she removed her masks,

he will never forget that woman, "Jeanna?"

He asked himself, is this the girl he saw in the hospital?, the girl once last spoke with Isabella?

How come she's here?

A lot of confusions and questions running on his head, supposedly he was with his father now. He need to refill his plates for food when he just heard a thing that confuses him now.

"Are you okay?". A girl standing right next to him suddenly just appear on his face.

You look terrible. You okay?

He needs to get his senses back, and refill another set of food on his plate before going out to that direction which he left to stay.

The woman placed her plates on the table and looked him over and over, it was like she's a little worried on the man she caught distressful.

Jeana,Congratulations!

and just without any hesitation a woman dressed like a queen have stood to kiss on her on the other side.

"Now that you're graduate, I just hope to see you again on Spain with your father, how I wished your brother would be there too". and a little smile was fainted on her lips.

"Thanks for the invitation Mrs. Johnsoon, but I need to consult father for this, since the moment we've got here, he's with my brother busy making stuffs and you know, because of the military service. But I believe we can go back there, if it's an invitation of course".

She nailed it! She won the first place on the writing historical fiction, she will be placing her own book at the biggest library in Spain on which book fairs happened, and that she's now graduated, she can manage to have her own library too.

"Great authors comes from great readers, aren't you agree?" that was Senor Armando was trying to catch the last conversation with Jeanna to Mrs. Johnsoon, she was one of the influential author in Spain who get married with an American citizen.

"Oh! yes, I thought I can't see you here". How are you? Where's the girl inside a character of a leading and handsome man?

Just a toast of success coming from Jeanna! and just without anything he held his wine on her, and toast with Jeanna!..

"You both so lucky, I hope to see you there okay?" you still didn't answer me.

And everyone was laughing..

Isabella was standing next to the fountain where waters coming in and out of it, she means a lot trying to catch the cold waters coming from.

The moment she catch it, she was happy.

"Does the water feels the same as you do"? and Fedel was trying not to impulse his laughter's on her seeing in that type of position.

Like he always remember the Isabella he had in his year is someone who were tiger look and can't wait any moment to eat him.

"water comes from different areas, it comes from different directions, different hands, different boundaries and obstacles", even how far and how long it will take me to catch it, I'll be forever grateful doing it,

the reason? because somehow it is one reason why I live, and living is worth the wait.

And he was like, he feels more than Isabella's great grandmother is more an author type than she is, he can't wait to deal with her, because somehow her soul was on her. And that even if he insists not to stay on her side, he keeps on trying because his calling her to unfamiliar directions that leads him, to her directions of familiarity.

"Isabella? and a guy in a coated cloth dressed up like a prince was standing right next to her now."

" Jeanna was waiting for you, Can we go now?". and that without any hesitation, he asked him her hand, in a gentleman manner.

He left speechless, he can't make a way but being jealous, he feels like he was nothing compared to that man, he looks very rich, more powerful and a soldier that can protect her.

The party ends at around 4:00 am in the morning, everyone calls it a day when Jeanna introduces her new book to be launched on Spain Book Fair, she gave them tickets and sale them some. And for some reason, Fedel was on his way to leave to finally end the day.

When a girl was about to call him!

Fedel where are you going? ---

It was when he knows it was Jeanna!

Did he knows me? the only thing he hears at the back of his mind.

Aren't you gonna congratulate me?!

He first let himself calm before stepping in and faced her.

"Congratulations Binibini". He told her.

What are you doing Fedel?

He"bowed himself to the woman infront of her and just acting like a gentleman, like what the Senor he saw with Isabella did.

"Nothing is permanent, it is just something that I know you can be proud of, but there's nothing permanent".

As she closely stepped into his direction, he feels something a heavy emotion coming from her.

"Nice to see you again here, Senor Fedel Gracia".

And that at this very moment, he knows where those emotions coming from, it was in the hospital where he first left her".

Flashbacks******

Whatever you do and wherever you go.

The past keep on haunting you both, until you clear your past and moved on.

What did she means by that?

"You need to help her where to stand, that's the only way to break the curse!". She told him.

I know she will be recovering from the wounds she got from unknown people, that made her life at stake. And that I hope after all of these things that happens to her, I wished that when she woke up, the wound in her heart caused by her past would have healed as well.

And a voice coming from unfamiliar direction, the ways I need to get through made me, and my past that made this life for Isabella. The only way to get her back, a reason for me to live and continue living. It is where my love lies upon, it is when I need to cost my life and owe my family's protection to protect her.

Isabella, please keep holding on.

He settle himself for things, he remembers this place, it is when he proposed his love to her, to the fountain and man made-falls that made the love of him possible to her, which is more very impossible now.
