Vior's Point Of View
As of now, I accompanied Zenith to visit the Forbidden City. It's been a few weeks since there was a commotion and it's fun to think because somehow the place is back to normal and looks even more beautiful. All of that would not have been possible without Zenith’s help.
When we arrived earlier, we were warmly greeted by the residents, including Manong Pilot. You can see in their eyes the joy and great gratitude to Zenith. They even made a surprise.
"Under my leadership, I am giving ... let's Ms. Zenith Aspen to finally open the new Forbidden City. Thank you so much for your open heart, daughter, I will never let you go hungry from now on hahahaha. And you too, right? Not anymore. Zenith is different from us, even though we have only been with her for a few months, she has done a lot to help everyone here. Zenith, sister? " embarrassed he turned to Manong Pilot. "I'm always here for you, you're like my child too so don't be shy to come. May heaven guide you on the path you will take ..." Manong Pilot handed over a small pair of scissors to be used for cutting of ribbon.
I smiled when Zenith accepted that and she cut herself, even though I didn't see her face I knew she was happy.
The people in the area were filled with applause and shouting and then the celebration began. Until now the pleasure could not be removed from their faces.
After the two of us ate we climbed to the roof of Aling Gloria’s store to view them all from above. Zenith lay down and gazed at the dark sky.
"By the way, about that power you had the other day, did you know for a long time or did it just appear?" when I break the silence.
"Mmm, I don't know. I can't say because I know I could have that but I didn't expect to have a camera at those times ..."
So, even he was just shocked by what happened? What else can you do, Zenith? They all see you as a bad person because of your appearance but your will is the opposite.
"You know? I'm disgusted ..." He said suddenly.
I sat looking back at him and I could see he was still looking at the sky. "Huh? Where else?" I will ask.
"On my own ..." I immediately frowned at his response. "I know in myself that I want to kill you all but I can't. It's just annoying because they're all right in accusing me, I'm a bad person, Vior. I have no mercy ..."
"Don't say that ..." I protested.
"No, let's admit that even though I haven't killed for a long time, I still did it when I wasn't here. Everything is also difficult for me especially because of what I've been through ..." he reasoned.
I was speechless and remained silent. How can I convince him that it is not his fault that he is like that? She grew up like that because that is her job. He didn't want to die on his own, he didn't even know he would be like that. He was innocent from the beginning, not because his whole clan was an assassin that he would be like that for the rest of his life. She can change that.
"I'm happy for you Manong Pilot but I still have envy inside that I wish I had experienced those things. To ask for help and to be helped ..." I looked at him again because I didn't expect him to say that to me.
Is there a problem? Zenith is not so open to me but now she is the one who tells the things she feels.
"What do you mean?" I asked without even thinking.
"One time, I only experienced help once ... that was when I was young, I knew nothing in the world but games .. In short, naive. That morning and Grandpa and I were leaving, he sent some to my heavy and I don't know what it's for. I asked where we were going even though I was having a hard time ... "he said sadly.
I seem to have an idea about that thing. That was the beginning of his training to be a full -fledged assassin. It's just amazing why at such a young age Mr. did that to him. Zilver. He was his grandson but he tortured him hard.
He hadn't spoken before so I peeked and was shocked when I confronted him and he shed tears.
Zenith is crying, silently with a pain. No, so much, pain ... If I could just take all the pain he was feeling I would have done it before. For at least I helped him.
Now, I realize why Ms. is so protected from him. Palm ... Zenith isn't just an instrument to Academy just to fulfill prophecy, but a treasure that needs to be nurtured and preserved.
"Zenith! Vior!" loud call to us to make me conscious.
I looked at who it was and Aling Gloria who looked drunk. They are already dancing on the chin.
I smiled and then waved. "What's that, Aling Gloria ?!" I asked loudly for him to listen.
"What are you two doing there? This party is for you, so you should have fun! Come down and dance!" in response, I nodded.
I went back to sitting and now Zenith was up.
"Uhmm .."
He suddenly stood up and looked down at me. "Tara, Aling Gloria is right. What?"
"Huh?" I'm surprised I'm just dumbfounded.
He laughed slightly. "Will you entertain me or not? Psh, what's up Vior?" he even held out his hand in front of me.
I just looked at him. "Aish! I'm asking you to dance with me. It's a woman who's dancing, don't you want to? Tsk. It's up to you—"
I quickly took his hand and stood up. "Because I should be the one doing it," I insisted then went down with him.
Fortunately the music changed so I pulled Zenith into the middle.
"May I have this dance?" my formal question.
Her eyes narrowed. "What's that? I'm not dancing sweet."
I just smiled at him and immediately put his hand on my shoulder and then my hands on his waist which surprised him so much.
He almost let go but I stopped him hahaha.
"Zenith, listen to me ..."
"Psh! You're being silly again."
I couldn’t help but laugh at his reaction, maybe he had an idea of what I wanted to say.
"This time, I'll repeat for clarity. What I said about liking you the other day is true. I can't give you a reason and I know you won't let me do things to prove it to you but ... I want to Just know that no matter what happens? I can't change how I feel for you. I like you and I'm slowly falling for you."
