-----‐---------------------------------

"*Yami, come here." Lucas called me while tapping the seat beside him. He really loves to call me Yami, well my name is Dark and in Japanese it's translated to Yami, now it's like he's endearment to me.

We are here on the rooftop. Me and Lucas just finished our final exam today and we decided to hangout here. At the rooftop of an abandon building where you can see the beautiful beach and watch the sunset, we called this as our place.

I sat beside him and putted my hand on his hips and hugged him sideway, "Babe, look, the sunset is really beautiful." He said with amusement in his eyes even tho we've been here before almost a 100 times already.

"Indeed babe, it's so beautiful...." sabi ko sakanya habang tinitignan ang ethereal view in our front, "like you." pagpapatuloy ko ng tumingin ako sakanya.

"Yami, do you see that vacant lot their...." pointing at the vacant lot near the beach, "soon we will buy that and build our restaurant their, right?" 

Lucas really loves to cook, since when we started our relationship he never failed to tell me that he wants to own a restaurant that we can call ours.

"Ofcourse babe, after we graduated  and find a stable job and earn enough money we will buy that place and build our restaurant." Assuring him.

Tinignan niya naman ako with matching puppy eyes, "Promise?" He stick out his pinky finger on my face.

Then I interwined our pinky finger while saying to him, "Promise."

While our pinkys are still interwined it started to rain really really heavy but still, we decided to stay for a while. I do love rain, I don't know what magic rain have that it gives me peace of mind. I smiled ans I looked up in the sky, letting the water droplet from the SKY to hit my face. While still looking up in the sky, I whispered in myself.

"God, I know I'm not a religous person, I know I don't pray that much to you but I really just wanna talk to you, I just wanna ask you something that I want to let out." I paused and let out a big sigh but I make sure Lucas didn't notice it. "Does our relationship is really a sin in your eyes?  If it is, then forgive me, us. I know that our relationship is still not that accepted by this people around us, I know that this society still judge what me and Lucas hva right now, and I know that we still have a long way before they accept us. I can accept that, I can wait, we can wait but can I just wish three things from you? Please protect us from this hateful society we need to deal, from this judgement and hardship we need to deal in this world we are living."

My heart is beating faster and I can feal that I'm in the verge of crying but still I continue my thoughts and prayers, "Second, make us and our relationship strong, until we can freely shout to this world that "We are together!!" without people judging us. And lastly please let him be mine forever, let him be mine and mine only, until the day that we will face you, on the altar, wearing the most beautiful suits and ties, the day that we will MARRY each other. God out of everyone you know how much I love him. I love Lucas with all of my body, my heart and my soul." I finished my prayer.

While opening my eyes, I'm thankful that it is raining right now, Lucas can't see my tears falling out freely from my eyes. He squeeze my hand and then he ask me "Yami, are you okay?" Na tinanguan ko lang kasi I know if I answered him, my voice will just crack.

Then he started talking again about what he want to do with our restaurant, how many tables, chair, servers, chefs and many more things. He really looked happy while saying those things, at di ko maiwasang mapangiti dahil dun. He's really sure that we're gonna end up together.

"Babe..." I called him and when he looked at me, I kissed his lips, a gentel yet passionate kiss, it's more like a peck than a kiss, "I love you, Mi amor."

He look at me with this confuse look because I did it out of nowhere but it faded fast, "I love you too, Yami." he said and then he kiss me sa noo ko. And then he rested his head in my shoulder while we both looked at the sun.

When it's getting dark we decided to go home because our parents will find us , we bid our goodbyes and we kissed passionately we explore each others mouth, biting, sucking exchanging saliva until we both are out of breath. I pulled myself away because i'm afraid someone will see us and tell to Lucas's parents about us.

"See you tommorow, babe." I said to him while waving my hand goodbye.

"See you tomorrow too, Yami." And then we parted ways to go home. I didn't know that was our last goodbye, our last kiss, the last time I will hear his voice.

"Anak, Dark, I want to tell you somwthing but please control yourself...." bigla akong kinabahan sa sinabi ni Mama pagkagising ko at pagkababa ko at tumungo sa kusina, "Lucas is dead, he was hitted by a truck on his way home."

I stiffened, parang nawalang ako ng lakas, parang biglang nadrain yung dugo ko sa katawan, I can't find the courage to speak, "Mom that's not a good joke, please tell me you're just joking around....." pero nagiwas lang ng tingin si Mommy, "Dad..." ganun din ang ginawa ni Daddy, pati na rin si Princess nagiwas ng tingin, "No! This can't be, magkasama lang kami kagabi! We're just talking about out future!" sigaw ng naramdaman kong lumalabo ang aking mata, I don't know if it's because of my tears and then bigla nalang akong nawalan ng malay*.
