Chapter One Hundred Fifty-One:
Morning…
When Haimon finished confessing to me, we just silently stared out the open window of our room as we held hands. That even though I have one more question that I can't ask because I don't feel it fits the situation we have now. Yet, he suddenly opens the topic that I wanted to ask that breaks the silence that we had. I was interested and asked him what was the reason why so far nothing is happening to us.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Because I'm afraid of hurting you." Haimon answered and I know, he honestly telling the truth.
"Why?"
"I'm Vampire, Shu. And you being a pure human may cause me to thirst when I finally consummate our marriage. That I cannot accept if I hurt you and worst if I kill you."
"Haimon." I hold his hand with my both hand as I face him. "I know you will never be able to hurt me. So, please, fear no more. I trust you with all my heart."
"But I can't." he said. "Because every time our kiss is on fire and I can feel the heat of your body to mine. I could no longer control myself and the changing of my eyes. I feel the living blood flowing in your body and the heat of your body quenching my thirst for blood, in a fresh blood of a pure human. Reason for me to restrain myself as much as I can especially whenever you witness the change of my eyes, fear is what I always see and feel from you."
"But I don't remember any of it," I said then I remember the day of my parent's anniversary. "Though, there's an incident at the day of my parent's anniversary. I remember your eyes changes but then because my head was aching the next day, I just thought it was just a bad dream."
"No, it isn't. Because what you remember is the truth. I just compel you to forget but for that one day, I really don't know why you still remember it even for a glimpse."
"It doesn't matter." I firmly answered. "Because what matters now is that I know the whole truth about you. And don't blame yourself for what you did to Siara, because you just did that to save everyone and so did, she. You save her that is why I am here. Living the life that Siara ever wanted to be."
Haimon sighed. "You were right. I won't blame myself anymore. But still, I can't still take you because I don't know if I can control myself."
"Then, I'll wait." I answered. "I have already waited for a year, why not I wait a little longer. Though, promise me that I won't wait another year because I will definitely continue divorcing you, understand?"
"Ye—what did you just said?!" he surprisingly asked me after he finally understand what I just said.
"What? Did you not understand what I said?" I snobbishly asked.
"O-of course, I understand but I'm just surprised from your decision."
"Well, I was just hurt that time and I just wanted to get you out of my life even though I still deeply in love with you." I explained. "But the confession that I've been waiting for was finally given to me. I finally settle down and now I decided not to do that divorce thing."
"Love." he said and pulled me closer for an embrace. "Thank you so much, my Love! And I promise you, I will never keep a secret from you."
"You definitely do that because I don't like to have a mysterious husband." I said that he just laughs and our day begins together again.
…
Our day begins with a wonderful smile after Haimon's confession and I was really overjoyed at his honesty with me. I hardly remember that I had a bad dream. A bad dream that turns to a nightmare and it gradually devours me as the day goes by.
"Love," suddenly Haimon approached me with worries written from his eyes.
"Why? Is there a problem?" I asked clueless of what I am doing to myself.
"I've noticed before that you scratch your wrist and it's not good if you keep scratching it," he said that make me to look at it and he was right, my skin became red because of my continuing scratching.
"Oh," I reacted and immediately take off my hand but the feeling of itching was still there and I don't know if how long I can stop myself not to touch it.
"Is it too itchy?" He asked that I nodded. "Okay, I'll go find some remedy for that." Haimon said before leaving me alone at the living room.
When I was left alone for some inexplicable reason the itch I had been feeling lately was gradually replaced by pain as it also gradually warmed up. I can't explain but I can gradually feel the heat slowly enveloping my whole body. Pain and heat were what I felt when I lost my attention there when Redmond came to say Dealla was there.
"Let her in."
"Yes."
"So, are you two alright?" Dealla asked afterwards and Redmond already left us.
"Yes," I said and smiled. "Haimon already confessed to me. So, we reconciled and I forgive him as well."
"Then, you two won't divorce?"
"No, I'm—ahh!" suddenly I feel the pain again but this time I feel like there is something piercing through deep into my skin.
"Hey!" Dealla suddenly approached me. "Stop it." she said while holding my hand.
"What?"
"You've been scratching your wrist too much it's almost hurting you." She said and she was right, when I look at it there's already wound because of what I'm doing.
"You also noticed what Shu did." Suddenly Haimon came with a first aid kit. "That's why--"
Haimon was no longer able to finish what he was saying when I suddenly screamed because of the intensity of the pain that suddenly enveloped me.
