Chapter 33

"Pa !!" I shout
But he didn't listen to me and finally left the house and then got in the car and quickly cut it. I just knelt down and buried my face on the sofa and there I cried and cried.
"P-yet? Why?"
I was going crazy with all the questions in my mind that none of them had answered. Why? Did I do something wrong to get my dad to drive me away?
"I don't understand. Please. Strengthen me,"
***
Because of my crying earlier, my eyes swelled as I entered the university I was attending. Lily noticed that quickly so when I told her the story, I started crying.
"Tahan na Vy," Ly
No matter how many times he said that, I couldn't stop crying. It was slowly entering my brain that my dad was driving me away that I didn"t even know why!
"N-am I upset? W-I didn't do anything m-bad. B-why did p-papa say that? I don't understand Ly. I'm hurt!" I cried even more
"Home Vy! Maybe Tito just said that out of frustration. Maybe he didn't mean it. Give him time Vy," Lily
I don"t care even if I look miserable in front of him. I want to release all the frustration and pain. Why don't they just tell me directly what the problem is? The "whys" are already destroying my brain!
"I'm right! I'm right in my suspicion that they are hiding something from me but they don't want to say. I really want to know that but now that I know there is. It's like I want to regret it and just forget,"
I just washed my palms on my face and dried the tears. It's useless! God! I can't believe Papa is kicking me out.
"You know what Vy? Find out what the problem is! You're Elvira Ashton! My friend is smart and curious about everything! Figure out what's the problem and solve it since you're the only one who can fix it. If anything. Tito won't just kick you out for no reason. That's what you know Vy. Crying your ass out here won't do any good! I know you know that, "Lily
I nodded slowly and determined to stand up. Right! I'm intelligent! I'm not arrogant! But I'm smart! I need to know what the real reason is not that I'm crying here. I will not be blessed. My eyes are just swollen.
"I need to go home," I said
Her lips widened and pity. When he recovered from his shock he pulled me to sit down. He glared at me.
"You're crazy! You still have class! You might forget," he reminded
I was caught in the sense and gently squeezed it. Of course. But I have to solve that. I don't want to go home like the three of us. The two of them and I were fighting like a child who didn't know.
"Yes there is but my family is more important Ly. I want to know right away what the problem is. I don't want to waste time anymore," I insisted.
I was distracted when he suddenly pinched me on the side. My eyes narrowed as I stared at him.
"Stop being irrational! Do you want to add to your problem? You know this university is strict with schoolers like you. Once they knew that you skip a class, you really can!" Lily
"Yes. Later ---- wait ... Later, by the way,"
"Later?" Lily
"Luhence will pick me up. We talked about going out later when I get home. I don't want to expect him,"
His face turned sour, "Luhence? The friend of the rude man? Why is he always with that?"
"Nash? Nash is his name, isn't he? Why? What did he do to you? Why do you seem to hate him so much?" I wonder question
"I just his attitude to me. He's so rude. I'm not doing anything," Lily
"Maybe he's really like that to anyone. We don't know that one," I thought
"Yeah. Like how you didn't know Luhence? What if it's another Luke? Speaking of that playboy. He's been staring at you before," Lily
I turned to our side and Luke and I had our eyes right. He stared at me intently. There was no shivering reason for me to be nervous. I looked away from him.
"She's not like Luke. Luhence is different from her. She's very different. From the way she acts to her behavior and even the way she treats the woman. When Luhence is with me, I feel safe and comfortable. But when it's Luke "I'm always nervous because he makes me do things I don't know. And one more thing, people like Luke are men who should be avoided because they have a habit. It's not trustworthy," I said seriously.
"Good to hear that you'd finally saw the dark side of him. So I was nervous about you when I found out that he was flirting. I want to pull you away from him but I remember that it's your life and you must decide for it alone. You"re my friend but I need you to do your own mistakes for you to learn from it, "Ly
I smiled broadly at him, "Thank you. You're really a friend," I said laughing
"Hey! I'm not your friend. I'm your bestfriend slash sister!" Kumindat sya
"Okay. Then. Join me later to find out what's true then Luhence and Nash and me,"
I smiled mischievously at him and laughed weakly as the smile shattered on his face.
"I don"t hate but I hate that Nash man," Ly
"Then I'll hate him. Maybe it'll be love. You too,"
"Whatever Vy,"
***
Just as we expected. Luhence arrives with Nash who is driving. I chose to pick us up far away. I don't want my schoolmates to see him. I might be the center of gossip at school again.
Luhence got out of the car and smiled broadly at us which I returned with a sweet smile. I immediately pulled the frowning Lily closer to the car.
"Hi. Ready?" Luhence
I nodded, "Yes. But .... I would have asked for something,"
"What's that? Just spill it lady blue. I'll gladly understand it,"
"Can I ... I'll go home early. I still need to take care of something at home. Please don't be offended. It's just important. Promise baba ----,"
He laughed softly and stared me in the eye. There was again a strange sparkle that I could not explain.
"Calm down. You don't need to explain much. I told you. I understand. Don't worry. This won't take us long. Common?"
He held out his palm in front of me which I also stared at for a few seconds before I accepted it. The smile was so wide that I nodded at him.
"By the way. How's your friend? Will she come or will we take her to her house? If she wants to come. Nash will accompany here since I'll stick with you for the rest of our date," Luhence
I nodded quickly and looked at Lily with two eyebrows raised.
"She can't come. Tita Liana will definitely look for her. Maybe we'd better take her," I replied.
"Great. I can drive her home Pri ----- ehem ... Luhence and you can go drive to your own destination," Nash
"No thanks. I can do it ---,"
"It's dangerous. You're not with me so you'd better go with Nash," I interrupted him
Her eyes narrowed and she shook quickly.
"I can do that Vy ---,"
"Let"s go lady," Nash
Lily couldn't moan anymore when she grabbed Nash's arm and pulled her into the car. When they left, I turned to Luhence.
"What vehicle will we use?" I will ask
He didn't answer instead he smiled mysteriously at me. He grabbed me and pulled me in one direction. I just let him go until we got to a parked car.
"I had a spare car lady blue. Get in,"
I laughed and shook my head at him. He opened the door and I went inside. He turned around and got into the driver's seat. He started the engine and we drove off the road.
"Where are you taking me?" I will ask
"Is it me? Or the why you ask me looks like I kidnapped you? Don't make me feel guilty lady blue," he laughed.
"I was just asking. Where is it?" I laughed too
He glanced at me and refocused his gaze on the road. Like before he didn't answer my question and just smiled. I just shook my head and leaned back in the backseat.
"Text your mom or dad. They might be worrying,"
I was stunned by what he said. Of course. I forgot to say goodbye. Good thing he said. I secretly smiled because of what he said. That's right. He"s not like Luke because if he was with me now. He might even tell me to lie to my parents. They are different.
Luhence is trustworthy
"Have you ever ride a horse?" Luhence suddenly asked
"Ahm. Yes, when you put me on your horse when we were in the Philippines. Why?" I ask again
"No. What I mean is. Have you ever ride the horse .... by yourself?"
I nodded, "Not yet. Are we going to ride a horse so you ask?"
"Yup. We're going to the falls where I first met you," Luhence
"D-there? Why? What's there? Is there any other beautiful sight there besides the falls?"
"Chill. Let me introduce you my man-made paradise!" He said happily
"Man-made paradise. Hmm. I'm even more excited," I whispered
***
Luhence stopped the car next to it then went out the door. He told me from outside not to leave the car. I nodded in response to him and waited patiently for him.
I stared at him as the guard outside the small gate spoke seriously. Luhence seems to have an important order because of the guard's very serious face and so is he. When the guard nodded, Luhence just left and then got into the car.
"Is there a problem?" I will ask
She shook her head then smiled again, "Everything's fine lady blue,"
He started the car and then walked down the paved road and parked the car in front of a small house. It was only one floor but it was obviously not spent lightly on the construction. Luhence came out and opened the door on my part. When I got down I immediately rolled my eyes around. From the gate earlier we passed. The floor is concrete and there are trees around it with light bulbs to light the road every night. All in all, the surroundings are very beautiful even simple.
"You like my place? This is my favorite place," Luhence
I turned to her and stared into her blue eyes. Then I smiled and nodded.
"Yes. It's beautiful here. It's a nice arrangement of flowers. Do you live here?" I will ask
I was stunned when he held me and folded our hands. I only recovered from the shock when he pulled me inside the house.
"No. It's my vacation house. I lived in Filifia but I sometimes came here to find peace and calmness in the plants and flowers. Unlike in Filifia. I always have to put first all my responsibilities,"
I stared at him. There was a hint of his seriousness as if he suddenly remembered something. Responsibilities? Where? I'd like to ask a question. I just chose to keep quiet. I was not in a position to ask him a personal matter.
He opened the door and led me into the living room where there were three large and comfy looking sofas. I sat there and leaned my back on the sofa.
"Wait here. I'll prepare the horse. Do you want something to eat? I'll prepare," Luhence
"No. I'm okay. I'm not hungry yet," I refused
"Alright. Wait me here lady blue. I'll be right back,"
I just nodded and then closed my eyes. What my dad told me came to my mind again that almost made my eyes swell with tears. I still can't believe he's driving me away. I had many questions but none of them were answered.
"What am I going to do? I have to do something," I whispered
"What's the problem lady blue?"
I shuddered when I heard a voice. When I saw Luhence sitting on the sofa next to me, I adjusted the seat.
"P-just a problem at home," I replied
He nodded before smiling again. I stared at him for a moment.
"You look happy now. There's not a minute that I don't see you smiling," I shook my head
"I'm just happy. That I'm not alone here. Why you? Why did your eyes swell earlier? Did you cry? You can tell me lady blue," he said affectionately.
I wish I could tell you all, "I know ... you can be trusted. You're a friend ... aren't you?"
He blinked and then quickly averted his eyes but I saw something in his eyes that I could not explain.
"Y-yeah. I'm your ... friend. Let's go. I'll show you the horses,"
I watched him stand up and walk fast. I got up and followed him. Am I right in saying we're just friends? But this is a date? Are men and women dating?
I'm confused.

'Friend'
That sucks!
The young man sighed as he helped the girl get on her horse. The word friend never goes out from his mind. That's probably the word he hates the most right now.
It breaks his heart to think that the lady he likes only look at him as a friend.
He wants more than a friend but he can't. They can't have it now. Maybe that's good too because he knows he'll get married on his own when he finds that princess. He don't like the idea of ​​marrying a stranger but he doesn't have choice. It's his responsibility to marry a woman with a tittle.
He stared at the girl and he couldn't help but get hurt. He knew that the time would come when he would have to leave so that he would not be more obsessed with the girl. Because he do, he'll probably end up forgetting his responsibilities and disobeying his father. He don't want to disgrace and disobey his father.
He is the sole heir of the father and if he retreats there is a high possibility that the throne will go to his uncle which he and his father do not want to happen. He knew that his uncle had nothing to do with it. He'll only use the throne to make money and sustain his nasty needs.
They rode around for half an hour while riding the horse and he couldn't help but be especially obsessed with the girl whenever she smiled at him when she found something beautiful and interesting. She likes how curious she is. It would really do everything just to answer his question. They toured everything he knew would make the girl happy until they passed a treehouse. It was his favorite hiding spot when he was just 15 years old. It's been a long time since he got here.
He hopped off the horse and tied it then helped the girl get off the horse which he also tied so as not to leave. Vy immediately look at the treehouse beneath.
"Treehouse? Is there something like this here? Your vacation house is very big. It looks like it's not just a vacation," he said.
"This place was built when I was 10. I really like the area not just because of the falls but it's quit and fine nature. When I was young, I was always here to hide or spend time. I often sleep here. Wanna see? "
The girl nodded then slowly climbed into the treehouse next to her. There was a comfy bed with red sheets and wooden nightstand on the side. There are also wooden chairs and a table in the front next to the window. There is only one window and there are about one side lights.
"It's a dim light. I help me sleep peacefully at night," said the young man
The woman lay on the bed and hugged the blanket in her arms. It was so chilling that he laughed.
"This bed is so soft. Can I rest? I'm tired of walking,"
"Sure lady blue. I'll wake you up when it's late,"
Minutes passed and he saw her sleeping peacefully. It was on its knees and its head was facing him. Even in sleep position, he really finds her beautiful. He felt like combing her hair so he sit on the bed and rest his back on the headboard.
"Woman. You really make me go crazy. I shouldn't be doing this. I knew my responsibilities but here I am. Spending time with you though it's forbidden,"
He tenderly stroked the girl's hair and followed her cheek. He looks at her slightly parted lips. Then he feel this stranger feeling inside.
"I wish I could have you lady blue. I wish,"
