If Blessy thought it would be easy for her to forget Fender, she was wrong. Because her quiet world began to become chaotic. Everything reappeared in her brain and, she remembered everything more clearly. Fender was not just a man in her life.
"Sister, why are you sad?" She looked at a child named Raiza and caressed her long hair. "Does Sister Blessy look sad?"
It nodded innocently. She sighed slowly and smiled tenderly at her. She cannot show the children that she is affected.
"Sister, I cooked Mother Jean's favorite catfish."
Blessy was dumbfounded by what Manong Ben said. She remembers something about the fried catfish he mentioned.
“Are you okay Sister? I think you need to rest and you still have a wound. ”
“I’m o-okay Manong. Thank you for the concern."
It nodded. She seemed to want to ask him something but chose to turn around and go back to his hut. She sighed slowly. She glanced for a moment at her arm with the sling still on. She hasn’t moved it yet but ‘it doesn’t hurt. The only thing that hurts her now is her heart. She is in pain.
“Sister Blessy! Sister Blessy!”
She looked at Lindo. The child is naughty and hyper even sick. She smiled at it and ruffled the child's hair. "What's that?"
“Why don’t I see Kuya Fender anymore? Did he go home to Manila too? ”
She was a little surprised by Lindo's question. How could she forget her man then?
“Yes, Sister, where is brother Fender? Even though older brother is strict sometimes, he is kind,” Raiza added.
"A-ah… Because of—"
“Oh, you really are. The amount of questions you ask Sister.” Mother Jean suddenly groaned; she didn't even realize it had come. “Lunch is ready. Let's eat.”
She just nodded at what Mother Jean said and followed it as she pushed the wheelchair of young Raiza.
Zerus angrily watched the woman run away from him to Baryo ng Felopina. Oh fuck! Thought it, she could escape away? Even if it promises to be in the other world, he will follow and follow it. She can't be the only one who remembers, and he doesn't. He needed to know what they had before.
Shit! Calm down. He screamed angrily in his mind as his pet began to stiffen under his pants. Whenever Blessy's beautiful face appeared in his brain, his body reacted like this.
He is confident that Ramona will not disturb him, because it is time to interfere in his plan again. He will forget they are both siblings. He was fed up with being a girl's psychopath.
"Yow Zerus!" Uno is on the other line. "I just want to remind you that until now, Dr. Hayes people are still moving to kill you. Be careful with your every move. We can't control the brain of a Hayes what he can do to you."
"The hell with him." He grinned. "That stupid Doctor must be dead by now."
"If you want me to—"
“No. Let go of my game.”
“Yeah, that one is thorny. I will have a hard time especially since Hayes is also slippery.” He laughed on the other line then said goodbye.
He put down his cell phone and watched Blessy and the children carefully. Then he will show up to her tonight. He loves to chase her, and he also likes the game he likes.
***
HE WAS able to freely enter Blessy's room. He noticed that it was sleeping soundly with the two noviciates. He slowly stepped into the woman and stroked her soft cheek.
Blessy… I want to remember you. I want to know who you are in my life. Why are you denying ‘me this thing?
The deep wind pulled him in and held her other hand without a sling. It sleeps soundly and its innocent face gives peace to its troubled brain.
"Fender, you're leaving…"
He stared at Blessy. Its eyes are closed. Maybe he was in a woman's dream and he was waiting for the next one to be added.
"Get out of my life. I will forget everything about us and I will try to live without you!”
Bullshit no! He was surprised at the two beads of tears falling freely in its beautiful eyes. It was as if something was pounding in his heart and something was pushing him to wake the gir l. No. When she woke up, she would just push me away. I'd better just watch her as she sleeps and— whatever visits us past…
Blessy smiled softly when she saw Fender cooking that day. The thrill and joy mixed in her heart when she first did it to be seen while cooking. She thought, when she woke up, he was gone. That meeting them was just a dream.
"Your boyfriend is handsome, Blessy."
She giggled at that comment from Nanang, the care taker of the house she is with now.
“He is handsome when he is alone. When he has someone next to him, he looks like a monkey. ”
The old woman laughed at what she said. While she and unable to remove her eyes freely staring at the young man's back. He was wearing only a shirt and the large and long tattoos on the young man's body were clearly visible. Honestly, she's obsessed with tattoos, but on Fender's part, it's more intimidating and hot to look at with the colors on his body. As an artist, she appreciated the beauty seen in the colors and ink etched on the man’s body.
"Good morning love!" It suddenly turned to face her and happily greeted her in the morning. It looks very handsome in a white sandal and boxer shorts.
Her cheeks flushed and she stepped onto the round table. "Good morning!" she sat in the chair there.
"No love?" its tenderness and step closer to her.
"Huh?"
It laughed. "Do you remember what I always tell you?"
"Which one?" she asked in surprise. She stared into his staring eyes. The two of them and Fender were only a handful away.
It suddenly grinned. "I'm handsome."
She laughed out loud. Only her boyfriend's physical body has changed, but his behavior is still the same.
"What are you cooking? I'm hungry."
"What else? Eh, your favorite.”
She rolled her eyes and quickly approached the man. It finished cooking and she saw her favorite dish of all! Suddenly her mouth watered and she immediately tasted its cooking. The extent of her smile when she faced it.
"Delicious!"
"You taste better…"
"Pervert!"
He just laughed and quickly stole a kiss from her lips. "You're already sitting there and maybe where else will we talk about this dish. I still have a plan for you to make me breakfast like this— ”
"Fender!"
"Just a joke."
She just stared at it and with a smile it guided him back to the table. As she did, the happy smile on her lips could not be erased. This is the worst day for her. In the three years without Fender, she didn’t know how to be happy again. But now that the young man was in front of her, she was content. All her anger and sulk, miraculously all disappeared. She had a big heart to love the young man in spite of everything.
"Where will we go?" Blessy was surprised when Fender kissed her on the lips. He’s already dressed while carrying suitcase in one hand and making sure his clothes were full.
She was painting in those moments and she was thankful that ‘the man never lefther side. They had been together for two weeks and where she was, it always followed her. He even went to school with her and her classmates almost went crazy every time they saw the man. She is in a private school and she is in the 4th year of high school somehow.
"Just calm down love, we'll run away together."
She frowned, "Run?"
He laughed at her reaction and pinched her sharp nose. “Yes. You're coming, right? ”
“You are crazy! Are we going to be together and then we will run each other? How do I study? Do you dream that I will study and then we will run each other?”
"You're cute." He stole her kiss again and only gave her a smirk. It has already increased in her. “Let’s go. Our flight is waiting! ”
“Where—”
She was speechless when he lifted her up and placed her on his shoulder. “Ask at the airport! We will run away!”
"Fender Hearst!"
***
FENDER brought her to Iceland. If Blessy is to be questioned, she has no idea how she got out and got to this place that in her only dream she wanted to go. Fender took care of her passport and everything. She wanted to ask how it did that thing so quickly. She also made an excuse letter to her teacher that she will be gone for 1 week cause she has an emergency to go to.
"I can not believe!" she said tearfully. At Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort they take glass igloos, where they can freely see the sky from inside.
"You can't believe I'm handsome?"
"Tse!" she glared at Fender as she glanced at it. When did he talk sensibly? "You didn't even tell me we were goinghere. If I haven't seen the visa, I don't know how you got it, I don't know. "
Smiling, he approached her seat and hugged her tightly from behind. "What is your surprise love?"
She did not say a word. She tries not to notice the smile on his lips and maybe the ego of the man she loves will clap again.
“Get out of my arms. Crowded, eh! ” as if she were cursing him.
"No," he replied like a child. "Your baby is just tender, you're mean."
“You’re not a baby anymore.”
"No."
She widened her eyes at him but he still didn’t come out. She was just thrown into the air and then, the tattoos of various designs stared at his arm. She turned to the young man and stared at him intently. She didn’t have the courage to ask against the color etched on Fender’s body for two weeks.
"Why, love?"
Her gaze went to its neck where the cross -designed tattoo was strugglin g to slip. "Take off your t-shirt."
The shock was reflected on his beautiful eyes and jokingly covered the body. “Blessy! I’m still a virgin ‘no!” it sounded gay and looked at her artfully.
Blessy was then forced to strike Fender in the chest. “I am even worse. Are you crazy?" she replied with a laugh.
He laughed at what she said and kissed her hand tenderly when she reached for it. "I love you." he took it seriously and followed her wishes. He slowly took off his top in front of her and only then did she manage to stare at the man’s body.
From its neck, to the chest to the abdomen. There are various kinds of designs engraved on it that she cannot name others. For others, it looks dirty but for her, it's a beautiful sight. Only half of its chest and abdomen have tattoos. she felt it softly and stared at Fender intently.
"Aren't you angry that I have a tattoo on my body?"
She shook her head. She could see in his eyes the strange emotion she had only just noticed. It was staring at her intently now. “I like it. Why should I be angry?”
It sadly touched her cheek and then was blown away by the wind. "Even if I tell you for example that how many tattoos you saw, that's how many lives I lost on my hand?"
She was shocked at what Fender said. She backed away slightly and asked questioningly staring at his tattos. There was some fear engulfing her personality in those moments and ‘she didn’t expect Fender to say that face to face.
"Hey, I'm joking love!" a loud laugh came out of its throat.
Annoyed, she just stared at the man and scolded him, “You really want to scare me. I thought you killed someone again.”
He scratches his nape and smiled. She apologized for a while in front of Fender and went straight to restroom to change her clothes. She wants to take a break from the long trip and she feels, her world is spinning. They flew for almost 14 hours and it washer first time on a plane so she looked stupid. Later that night she had to observe the northern lights and take a picture. That morning, she fell asleep while hugging the young man.
She barely smiled as she looked at the northern lights at night. They are outside and almost everything Blessy sees is thick snow and some couples are there. They were wearing thick coats due to the cold temperature but she did not wear them. She is happy! Fender was just beside her as her smile reached the sky as he stared at her. They hold hands and if Blessy is to be asked, she doesn't want to end this night with the man she loves so much.
"Thank you!" she turned to him and hugged the young man tightly. She feels that she will die when it leaves her life again. “I want us to stay like this. I want us to be together always…”
"Your wish is my command, love." He kissed her on the forehead and lifted her into the air. She was stunned by what he did but she didn’t complain. "I will never be lost next to you, I promise. I will never leave. I’m just yours, love. Only you and no one else will own me but you.”
She smiled and stroked his cheek. “Thank you. You know I belong to you too.”
It lowered her and she was not prepared for it to slowly kneel in front of her. She was stunned to stare at it. Her heart almost beat out of her chest. Her cheeks were cold but warm.
"Love…"
“W-what? S-stand there and it’s freezing cold— ”
“Shh… Listen to me. ” Fender gripped her hand tightly. It is kneeling in front of her now. "I love you. I know ‘not enough words come out of my mouth. I left you but I'm here now. There is nothing left. No one will have to wait a few more years. Blessy, in my three years of absence, there isn’t a day that I don’t think of you. Not a night goes by that I don’t remember you’re waiting for me. I’ve lost three years next to you and I don’t want to say what happened to ‘me inside the three years. The important thing is, you're mine. I can love you without worrying about what I will feed you. I can love you and not suffer with me. ”
"F-fender"
He smiled. “I am no longer in the organization I joined, love. I am free. I am free to love you and live peacefully with you. I don’t feel like we’re kids yet. I love you and it’s enough to tell you, ‘Will you marry me? Mahal? I love you so much, and I will tie you to me forever. Say yes, please?” From his coat, he pulled out the red box. It opened in front of her the casket, and she could clearly see the beautiful ring with a large stone in the middle. If the northern lights were beautiful, there would be nothing like the beautiful ring it offered her today.
Instead of crying in front of him because he proposed marriage to her, she laughed out loud. He looked at her in surprise.
"I-it’s a no?" its a nervous question. It gripped the box with the ring tightly and she knew it was expensive.
The strength of her laughter slapped its cheek. “You are crazy! Sure, I will marry you! You are crazy!”
"Really?"
“Yes! You're crazy too. ” Laughing she kissed it on the lips. That was just a smack kiss. “You want me to take back my yes? Just say and— ”
"I love you!" he kissed her quickly on the lips and the extent ofher smile wore the ring on her hand.
It fit snugly on her finger and he immediately lifted her up. It screams that they are engaged and she has nothing to lose from it ever. Blessy was right, the ring in her hand was so beautiful. She lifted her hand into the sky and at the same time as the glowing diamond ring she was dancing the northern lights in the sky that night.
