"WHO am I? What's my real name?" Her voice is so sweet that I can't help but to smile.
"Your name is Arrow, my daughter. We named it after you because we love archery," I replied with a smile.
She nodded and beam a little. "Arrow ... It's a beautiful name."
I was just stunned as I watched his every move and action.
Even if she lost her memory, the learned move as a princess could not be erased from her.
She moves like a princess, because she really is. His every move was disciplined.
Her golden eyes are so beautiful, they are shining along with her beautiful smile.
She's really the epitome of beauty.
I could stare at her all day, 'cause she's too good to be true. This girl is so beautiful that she is now my child.
"Why did I lost my memories? Am I a rebel? Did I try to drive a car even if I am drunk?"
That is what he kept asking us as our family grew longer.
I didn't answer him a few times because I didn't want to surprise him. But I also couldn't stand my son, I explained that he had an accident.
But I went through another reason, my explanation to him was very different from the real reason.
I lied and explained to him that the three of us had been involved in the accident but that he had suffered the worst.
I lied, because I think that's the best way to hide the truth.
Whenever he sleeps I choose to watch him. And as I watched his angelic face, I couldn't help but wonder if someone like him could really commit murder?
By Arrow's looks, she can't even kill a single insect. It's like a fragile thing that you can never shout or let go.
Henry and I did everything we could to keep him from becoming aware of things that might bring back his memory.
He turned out to be a good and innocent child that I enjoyed.
I became a mother because of Arrow, and I'll do everything to keep her safe. Even if death were the substitute, I was willing to sacrifice for my son.
Even if it'll hurt me.
Arrow
"What happened to your arms?" Froze asked as he handed me the cake.
I turned to what he was staring at, I stopped looking at my bruised arm.
It would be done by men who almost raped me.
"N-I fell," I replied smiling.
Sorry for lying.
He licked his lower lip before staring at me intently.
"You're such a terrible liar, baby," he said.
He brought his face close to mine and kissed me on the lips.
I punched his chest for what he did, but only weakly because I didn't want to hurt him.
"Tell me what happened, baby," he said with authority.
I swallowed as I stared into his threatening eyes.
"You will not get angry?" I'm sure.
"So someone hit you?" Did he stop?
Napapadyak ako. "Hey, you'll get mad when I say that!"
He glared at me. "I shouldn't laugh, baby? Why should I laugh if I know you're hurt?"
I blushed in an instant with his answer. He really knows how to make me blush.
"Don't get too angry, okay? Just a little." I held his hand tightly.
He laughed and kissed me on the lips again. "So cute. Tell me baby."
"You won't be too angry at first?" my carving.
He rolled his eyes in a manly way before nodding his head. He was obviously just being forced. But he nodded so he had to comply.
"Tell me who hit you."
"Last night I was on my way home. Someone grabbed my men--"
To my surprise he suddenly stood up, he slapped the table in front of us. "Those ?!"
I looked around but fortunately there weren't too many people in our place.
I grabbed his arm and forced him to sit down. "Listen first."
"Damn it Arrow. What did those animals do to you ?!" he asked angrily.
"They tried to rape me--" I hadn't finished what I was about to say when he suddenly hugged me tightly.
"Fuck, I'm thankful that you're safe, baby," he said.
Suddenly I thought as he hugged me. They say mommy and daddy, men don't like women who are no longer virgins.
That's what I'm sorry about, what about female rape victims?
"What if they did what they wanted to do to me, Froze. Would you still want to approach me?" I will ask.
He immediately looked at me with a startled expression. "Ofcourse you dimwit! I'll kill them first then I'll marry you in an instant so you're always by my side."
It was as if something touched my heart when I heard that.
"By the way, you're alone right? How did you deal with them alone?" In the way he spoke, there seemed to be a tinge of anxiety in his voice.
I just shook my head at his question. "Someone saved me. And do you know who she is? She's a woman, Froze, a woman."
"I want to meet her personally to thank her. I should have saved you instead," he seriously said.
"What are you, everything's fine. Also, do you know? She's so cute! She's so good at fighting, she just knocked down thirty men with a punch and kick in a few minutes. She's like a super hero," proud my narration.
Froze frowned at my story. "What? A woman? So, you're saying, she knocked down that many men in a matter of minutes? Without any other stunt?"
I nodded proudly.
"What's her attitude?" Even though I was wondering, I just answered his question.
"He's philosophical, and then he always interrupts me. But he's still cute because he has the courage," I responded.
He looked away while deep in thought. "There's only one woman in my brother's mind right now and she's possibly that woman you're talking about."
I didn't answer because he didn't talk to me. It's bad to take part in other people's conversations. Even if it's just weird who Froze is talking to.
"What's her name?" He suddenly turned to me.
"Silhouette raw--"
"Fuck! That's it!" he sighed before taking the cellphone out of his pocket.
He dialed a number while I was just stunned here.
"Hey brother mine ... It's too early for that, Third ... I know, but I have something to tell you about that woman ... Tangina ka, bigla kang ginanahan ... Alam ko! ... I think I know where she is right now ... Yeah, I'll send it to you, give me my pay, piece of trash. " He dropped the call with a smirk on his face.
I secretly touched the chest where my heart was.
Is this a lie? Why am I jealous of Silhouette just because Froze mentions her name?
"Juana," I smiled at her as we collided.
I saw the slight criticism on his cheek before trying to smile at me.
"T-Twinnie!" Even his voice seemed different.
Why do I feel like he's just forcing his voice to be sharp? He speaks very differently than before.
"Where are you going? Why do you seem to be in a hurry?" I asked him.
He was very scratchy on the nape while laughing. "I just need to do something."
I nodded because of his answer. "All right, be careful. Let's hangout together with my friends when you have time, huh? It's been a while since we last got together."
The direction of his gaze changed so I turned to where he was looking. But there was nothing strange so I looked at him again.
I caught him looking at me so I immediately tapped him on the shoulder. "You alright?"
He looked at my hand that was over his shoulder before nodding slowly.
"I'm f-fine. I'm just really in a hurry, Arrow. I'm sorry." He suddenly left after saying that.
I could feel her haste and anxiety. Also based on his walk, it looks like someone is chasing him.
Is my friend okay?
Why does it feel that he's kind of different today?
I hope he's okay, if he has a problem, I'll listen to him.
I just shrugged before starting to walk. Maybe Juana is just going through something.
"MIYU!" I greeted Miyuki with a smile in the living room of the dorm.
He quickly stood up and approached me. "We have a problem, Arrow."
The expression on my face changed because of what I heard. "What happened?"
"We can't stop Saiko, she's been drinking for hours," he said frustrated.
I let go of the bag in tears and then approached him. "W-Where is he? Is he in trouble?"
"I don't know, Sabrina and I don't know why she suddenly acted like that. She just entered the dorm and she didn't even notice us. She suddenly got drunk," he explained.
I bit my lower lip because of frustration. Why doesn't Saiko tell us her problem?
"Get off me! Give me more alcohol Sabby!" I looked around the kitchen when I heard Saiko's voice.
I hurried there just to see Saiko already crouched on the table.
Sabrina was next to him pushing the bottles away from Saiko.
"Saiko, get up. Stop drinking," Miyuki said to Saiko.
"Shut up! I can still handle it!" He laughed out loud while still beating the table.
"Saiko, why are you drinking? That's bad for your health," I said worriedly as I stroked his back.
"Why are you making so much noise? Come on! Drink with me! Let's party!" He stood up while still grinding.
I'm not used to seeing my friend like this. I used to see him serious and just calm on the side.
"Saiko, get up. Rest first," Sabrina said calmly.
She tried holding Saiko's arms but we were surprised when Saiko shook her. The bottles were also affected so they shattered on the floor.
"Sab, don't leave there first. I'll clean it," Miyuki said hurriedly.
I tearfully watched my friend who was obviously troubled.
"Saiko, please tell us what's wrong. We're worried about you," I pleaded with him in tears.
He stared me intently in the eye. She slipped out of Sabrina's grasp and smiled at me.
"Oh! Arrow! It's you!" He even pointed at me while laughing.
"Saiko," I uttered.
"It's you again! It's always you," he whispered in my ear.
Confused, I walked away from him, I stared at him but his eyes were already closed.
I'm sure of what I heard. There was a hint of anger and sadness in Saiko's voice when she said that line.
I was just an idiot next to me until I didn't realize that Sabrina had taken him to her room.
I don't know why Saiko told me that, and based on the tone of her voice, she was mad at me.
I wonder why. Did I do something he didn't like? I'll say sorry anyway, just don't make him mad at me.
"ME. Why did you go out alone? Are you feeling okay?" I asked confusedly as I held him by the shoulder.
He clung to the wall as he sniffed the sense.
"Do you want to eat? Or drink? I'll support you," I said smiling.
She looked at me seriously without uttering a word.
He gripped my hand tightly as he removed it from his shoulder.
I will admit I was surprised by what she did, but she has a problem so I have to understand her.
"Saiko--"
"Get out of my way, Arrow," he coldly interrupted what I was about to say.
I hesitate to smile. "O-Okay, but I'll still be with you. You might suddenly fall down."
I rubbed his arm but I was surprised when he shook me hard.
"Could I? What did I think of me? Paralyzed? I can!" she exclaimed.
I swallowed hard. "I'm sorry. I'm just worried because maybe--"
"You always act like you're the perfect one, Arrow," he said firmly.
I looked up at him. "W-What?"
"Do you think you're always the best? You're always the hero?" sarcastically he continued.
I was confused by what he was saying. "S-Saiko, why are you saying that?"
"Stop acting like you're an angel! Everyone can only see you! You're you! There's nothing else but you!" I was surprised when she started crying.
I tried to approach him but he pushed me quickly.
"Saiko, what have I done?" I asked crying.
"I love him ever since I started studying here. I accepted everything from him even if he didn't notice me. But you who are just a beginner, he noticed you right away! He liked you right away!" He stabbed me so I cried even harder.
I tried reaching for her but she just slapped me so hard. My head turned to the left because of what he did.
"What are you doing without me, Arrow? You're beautiful? I'm beautiful too, but why did Juanito like you right away? I'm also kind, eh. But you're always the one who dominates everything. You're the only one who's always there bid! " he shouted.
He pushed me causing me to sink to the floor.
"I-I don't know, Saiko. I'm sorry, don't be like that," I begged.
She just smirked at me. "I really liked you as a friend, Arrow. I'm fine if others notice you, you're beautiful and kind, e. But if it's Juanito too, you'll take me away. Let's just be patient."
She left me here, devastated. I don't know how to wipe the tears off my cheek because they don't stop.
I looked at the road where he had left. "I'm sorry, Saiko."
