Chapter 8
I haven't slept since earlier. So I was wasting my time, before I thought of watching the sunrise.This is actually my favorite thing to do. Watching the sunrise and sunset. The day of my departure is slowly approaching, I will only be here for a month and a half. I got my phone from the pocket of my jacket, and took a picture of it. Until I chose what I would post on Instagram. It wasn't difficult for me to choose because I got a good one. I wasted my time looking into the distance, until I ended up on a yacht. Which I just noticed now. I was about to approach it, when Sky suddenly called me to come in and we could eat. I still can't get out of my mind whose yacht it is. Because as far as I know, it won't stop in front of me if it's their Dweyne. "You seem to be thinking deeply!" "I'm just wondering whose yacht is in front Dweyne." I said "Ah maybe, the owner just went to the hotel. I guess that's not forbidden to me." "What's not? Eh! You'll be angry if someone blocks the front. But maybe the owner just went to see someone, you said." When I said that, it was as if they breathed a sigh of relief. " Why is there a problem? " Suddenly they averted their eyes from me. And Sky just glanced at me, with a worried smile " Will something bad happen?" I looked at Sky.
He held my hand while squeezing it. "If something happens, I hope you don't get mad at us. We're just thinking about what will really make you happy." He smiled. I just nodded, because I didn't understand what they wanted to convey to me. Until I decided to go to my room, to clean my body. I'm still bothered by what Sky said. I really think, something bad is going to happen. But I don't want to think about it right now. The important thing is that I can relax at least today. I just put my hand on my forehead, because I was wondering what exactly Sky wanted to convey. I turned to the lampshade when my phone suddenly lit up, signaling that someone was calling. But later it was also killed. Wrong number. I didn't want to pay attention when it suddenly beeped again.
Unknown:
See you later. Prepare yourself at exactly 7:00pm. Don't put too much make-up. You are already beautiful in my eyes.
I wonder if it's just a prank, but why does it seem like it's really mine? I will know too, when it's exactly 7pm. I just closed my eyes to relax.
Sky's POV:
I can't deny that I'm nervous especially with his plan, we never expected this to happen.
"What are we going to do? For sure, he already sent the text message to Acqui. I'm nervous lol. " I said to the two " Will this plan of his work? What if— "You are all about what if, think about the positive side. For sure, we will be upset with Acqui. Instead of relaxation, he will get stress." Dweyne said. "Oh! If it doesn't really work, I don't know. I might be betrayed by then." I said, because I was afraid that our plan might not be successful. We just looked at each other when my phone rang. I immediately answered it, and I turned it on the loud speaker for us to hear. (I already sent it.) "What if the results are not good?" Athella asked. (Then, I'll take the consequences.) "How about us? You put us in this situation." I said (I know, Acqui would never be mad at you guys. That would only make her angry at me. All you have to do is to pretend that you three is not part of the plan. I can cover you up.) He continued to explain to us. "Conscience is in our mind, if we're going to follow that." Dweyne said. (It's your decision, if you're going to be involved.) "If something bad happens, we are among the culprits. Because we know what your plan is."
(Okay. If that's what you want. I have to go.) After we talked, the three of us looked at each other. "So, it's our decision if we want Acquiesce to be angry with us." He further explained. "Oh my goodness, my head is hurting. What time is it?" Athella looked at me.
"7pm." I looked at the time and it was still 8am, there was still plenty of time for us to decide if we would join ourselves. Dweyne let out a deep breath, before speaking. "I will join myself, Bathala will take care of what happens." He looked at his phone again. "Same with me." Athella said "It's set, I'll call him now." "No, just text him, maybe Acqui will come down. He will hear." I just texted him and Acqui was coming down just in time. "I told you." Athella whispered
Acqui's POV:
I woke up suddenly, because of another dream. What the! What is there in my dream? I just washed my face when I got dirty. And he was the one I went down to get some air. I just looked at the three, because they were also looking at me. "What's wrong? Why can you look at me like that?" I asked them " AHAHAHA . It's not there, what are you doing? Where are you going? " Sky asked "I'm going to see Kevin." "Did I think he had gone home?" Dweyne asked strangely "He went home, he came back because he has something to do later. I will ask him what he is going to do, maybe I can help." I promised. "Oh, it's better if you're here first. We don't get along. You're always on the beach, it's like we never existed." Athella said. "What are you doing! I'm just thinking about something." I looked at Sky at the same time.
"That's it for now, Acqui. We should celebrate, you know your Coronation is coming up right? And it's close. "Oh yes! Omg, I'm so excited for that." Athella clapped "Why don't you seem happy, Acqui." Dweyne answered "I'm excited!" I tried to smile at them. Sky and I both know that the Coronation is near and my departure is also near. We turned around when the door to the visitor's office suddenly opened. " Hi Acqui. " He smiled foolishly and looked at Sky, who he also just tortured. "Timothy! What are you doing here?" I asked him. "Just passed by, are you with me?" He looked at the three at the same time. "Ahm. Because they said, I'll be here first." I glanced at the three "Tsk. What are you doing! Hey! I'm going to kidnap Acqui from you first. Let's go, Acqui." He pulled me at the same time. "What's wrong?" "Nothing, oh! Let's go there, I know there are many souvenirs there." He pointed to a small store in the distance. I just nodded to him, and he pulled me over there What he said is true, because there are already cheap goods there. I looked around until I saw a bracelet with something engraved on it.
'Bree'
"It's just like your name!" Timothy said in shock "Ah, is that it? There was a man who handed it to me, several years ago. He said, I should take care of it because the owner might look for it. There are many tourists who are wondering to buy it. That's the only reason I don't sell it. Sometimes, others even lie that it's really them. But I know their real names, that's why no one got that." Timothy explained to us "Ahm. It's a beautiful work, Grandma." "Will you buy it?" He asked her "Will you buy it for me?" I turned to him "What is your name?" He assured. "Acquiesce Briexley Vhaine Chuscada." I answered Lola's question. "Acqui?" He asked, as if he was thinking of a name "Why?" I wondered "Don't buy it, I'll just give it to you." He reached for the bracelet and walked away from us. " What happened? " I turned to Timothy "Let Lola go first, maybe she's in a hurry. Let's go?" We didn't realize that it was five o'clock in the afternoon.
" Terrible! The speed of time. " Timothy added. "Yes, I really don't want to spend a day with you." I joked with him "Acqui, I'm happy now." He looked at me " Why? " "Because, after a long time, you are here again with me and by my side now. It was my dream then, that you would come back here again. We had fun then, but with the passage of time, we are no longer the same as before. I am happy for her, and I'm happy because you found the one for you." He smiled at me. " What are you talking about? I don't love anyone yet. " I bowed at the same time. "Acqui. I love you very much, not as a friend, more than a friend. I know if it's wrong, because you consider me a friend. Acqui, you're not hard to love." He glanced as he looked up at the cloud. "I remember back then, you were one of those admired by many. When Dweyne first brought you to this resort. There were people who dared to talk or at least get close to you. I remember back then how kind you were to me." I was walking along the beach when I saw a man who seemed to be struggling with himself. So I quickly went to him, and I saw that he had a wound on his leg. I ran to the nearest medicine shop so it wouldn't get worse. "Ahm. Excuse me, your foot is mine. I will treat it." "I asked myself, if you touch my foot, you have a foot. If you hadn't pointed out the wound, maybe I would have thought differently." "You don't even want to put your foot near me. Do you think I'm going to take your foot? Do I have something to take with me? I don't have anything. It's stupid." I laughed.
"Not long ago, the two of us became close." You glanced, "I'm lucky, they say. Because we became close to each other. If not, maybe, because of my wound, I might just be looking at you from afar. Brie, thank you for the friendship. I know it's hard to move on, but if you have a problem, I'm here to listen and give you advice." He said while holding my hand. "He's lucky for you, Brie. He's lucky, that even though he spent only a little time for you, he still won your heart. Just tell me, if he hurts you again, I'll take you from him." Timothy stood up and left me alone. As they say, you should accept the destiny for yourself. You should move forward, don't let yourself be trapped in something that you are not sure if you can get out of it. Because there are people who, even though they know the destiny, they still try to squeeze themselves. Not all people, they can reciprocate the love you gave. Learn to let go, because you are also the only one making a way to hurt yourself. Acceptance is always part of our lives. We both know it's hard to let go, especially if you really loved a lot. It's not bad to love someone, it's bad to force yourself even if you no longer have a place in his heart. Never assumed and never demanded, that's how life goes on. I hung out there for a few hours until I decided to go inside. It's already 6:30pm so I have to get ready for later. I'm still confused, to that sender.
When I finished fixing myself, my phone rang signaling that it had another message.
Unknown:
Ashish Hotel , Rooftop.
After receiving that, I left my room. I haven't seen the three since I entered earlier. But maybe, they just did something without me. When I was at the door, he opened the door of the black car. This kidnapper? Even though I had second thoughts, I still went in. "Ma'am, we need to blindfold you." The man said gently. "What if I don't want to?" I said " But Ma'am ." I just smilled. "Ma'am, close your eyes. You're late.""Let that person wait, brother. Why is there still a blind fold?" I complained. "Alright Ma'am." "Yes, it's Kuya who can't be funny. Oy, don't be surprised that I have make-up on, brother. If I really lose it, you'll be mad at me, brother." I even threatened him. Suddenly my vision went dark, and I lost consciousness. I woke up when I felt that the car had stopped. They removed the blindfold on me and I saw the paradisiacal Hotel. "Brother, who thought of this, and I will live here, promise." Kuya just laughed, and supported me to where we were going. " Oh, brother, how much is your salary. And I might consider working here." "It's big, Ma'am." "Who is the owner of this? Do you know, Brother?" "We're here Ma'am." I didn't realize that we were already riding the elevator. And here we are on the rooftop "I can leave you, Ma'am. Enjoy." And he disappeared from my sight. I rolled my eyes and sat in the chair.
A few minutes later I suddenly heard a song. A familiar song, to both of us.
The best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting
It couldn't be that we have been this way before
I know you don't think that I am trying
I know you're wearing thin down to the core
I turned to the source of that voice, knowing if I'm not mistaken it was his voice. Voice of the person I loved before.
But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
I stared at him while he was serious about singing.
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear its true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find.
I hope so ,
This is not what I intended
I always swore to you I'd never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed
But I have loved you from the start
Oh, but hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
It's impossible to find
So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in
I'm yours to keep
And hold onto your words
'Cause talk is cheap
And remember me tonight when you're asleep
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find
"Acquiesce Briexley Vhaine Chuscada, I love you so much." He said while staring at her " Zach. " I didn't realize that my tears were falling. " Shh. " he said while looking at me firmly. "I'm sorry, because of Berenice you were able to leave me. Because of her, you left me. From now on, I will never be lost by your side. Even if you throw me away, I will never leave. Because that I will see another woman, who is like you. They are right, you are not difficult to love. The way you talked to someone you know. The way you smile, and stare you can lock them in your love. And right now, I am a victim and your the suspect. I am a victim of your smiles and laughter, I am just like everyone else. But I am different from them, you were able to look back at me even though there were many in line with you. I'm so blessed too , because you made me love you back. I can't ask for anything else, because you gave me what I lacked in my life. I love you very much Acqui." You said and slowly brought our faces closer, until they touched our lips. I'm happy, because I thought he wouldn't make a way for both of us. I am happy, because no matter what anger he received from me, he is here with me.
I closed my eyes and we felt each other. He pulled away and we pressed our foreheads together.
"Acqui, I'll do everything even if I step on someone else. I love you that much." "I love you too, Zach. And my answer is yes." He didn't get what he meant at first, but eventually he did. He hugged me very tightly, and he kissed me again on my lips. This is probably the happiest day I've ever felt happy.
