...Year 1558...

... ...

..."Run! C'mon guys, run this way!"...

... ...

...I shout so loudly while running from them,F*ck for those bastards who want to kill all of us just to get our village....

... ...

..."Islaw! What should we do? The others can't run anymore; they are too tired....

... ...

...One of my colleagues said, We are all here in the middle of nowhere; it's already midnight, and the surroundings are all pitch black; it's like we've been swallowed by the darkness. I bowed my head and sincerely said:...

... ...

..."I'm sorry, this is all my fault; I trusted someone to live in our village without knowing that soon he would do this."...

... ...

...I want to blame myself for everything; I saw their faces. Some of them are crying without making a sound, afraid of being caught by them. Five people left; that was all our number. As far as I know, there are hundreds, but......

... ...

...Everyone... is all dead....

... ...

..."Don't blame yourself; it was his fault because he betrayed us with that piece of sh*t. I will kill him with my bare hand if I see him!"...

... ...

...Dallia said, and tears began to flow from her eyes down to her cheeks. She is one of my companions,my adviser, who always warned me not to trust anyone, even them, because, as she always said, only I can trust myself. But I don't listen to her....

... ...

..."Dallia, even if you kill him, we can't bring back the dead! Yes, it can lessen our pain, but what do you think will happen next?“...

... ...

...Balong said, and all of us shut our mouths. It's not because of what he said. It's because we hear some footsteps that are coming near us....

... ...

...I gave a sign to Balong to stay still and not make any noise....

... ...

...I prepare my bolo and hold my breath. I stay alert....

... ...

...In a split second, I grabbed the neck of the person who was walking near us, pinned him down to the ground, and put my Bolo on his neck. I'm not their leader if I can't protect them....

... ...

..."Don't Make any move, or else I will cut your head off."...

... ...

...I weakly said to him,...

... ...

..."Can you do it, Islaw?"...

... ...

...Upon his turning his face on me, I was shocked. I feel numb; my heart beats so fast. Why?...

... ...

..."Can you kill me? Do you remember that we promised that we would live forever? Islaw, my love?"...

... ...

...I know I remember it....

... ...

...My tears began to flow, and I lost my defense. All of a sudden, I just knew that I was pinned down on the wet ground while my other colleagues were caught by our enemies....

... ...

..."Poor Islaw, my love, tomorrow morning you will go to face your death. Just say hello to Satan when you meet him for me. C'mon guys! Bring them to the camp."...

... ...

...He said, And they bring us to their camp....

... ...

...I was crying while we were on the road going to their camp. I don't know why he did this to me. I just love him, but...why?...

... ...

..." Why?"...

... ...

...I asked him, and he turned his head toward me and raised his left eyebrow....

... ...

..."Did you say something? Or are you praying?"...

... ...

...He said it to me, and I looked into his eyes. I tried to find any love in his eyes; I tried to find those sparkling eyes when he saw me happy, but I couldn't see any single love that we had made for almost a year....

... ...

...I don't know that we will end like this—that he betrayed us....

... ...

..."Why did you do this to us—to me? I thought....

... ...

..."It was just your thoughts; it's not my fault that you trust me to the point that you give me the information that I want."...

... ...

...He said, and with a split second, I saw some pain in his eyes.I don't know if it was because he betrayed me or because of another reason, but no matter what it is, I still hate him. Even in my next life, I will never fall for him for the second, third, or even fourth time. I promise it!...

... ...

...*******************...

... ...

...It was the sunlight that woke me up from the cold and rough cell....

...Some guards are coming to my cell, and they open it and get me....

... ...

..."Get off on me!"...

... ...

...I started to fight them, but I just received some hard punches on my stomach, a kick, and some curse words from them. I can't do anything; I was just dragged by this guard, who put me on the platform where I can see a lot of them, those rebels who wanted to claim our land. They are just lazy and bastardized people who can't make their food!...

... ...

..."Today we all got the remaining leaders of this village, and in front of you was their captain. Today we are all going to kill them and cut their heads off!"...

... ...

...It was the rebel captain who said it, and then they all shouted the word....

... ...

..."Kill him, kill him, kill him."...

... ...

...Such a noise, but I already accept my fate. This is my end. This is the end of everything....

... ...

..."I gave this opportunity to my friend, who works a lot to make our success happen. My friend Miguel took the opportunity to kill him."...

... ...

...The rebel captain said...

... ...

...I saw him for the last time, and I want to laugh at him and at myself because destiny was so playful....

... ...

...Destiny destined us to love and hate each other—such a perfect game of destiny....

... ...

...He looked at me and smiled—a smile that, when we met for the first time, I found cute and adorable, but now I see it as a smile of evil....

... ...

..."Any last message before you die? And join your headless friends?"...

... ...

...He said that, and I looked to my left, and I saw them. I saw my companions go headless. I wanted to vomit when I saw their situation. I felt anger and hatred for all of them....

... ...

..."Ahhhhh!!!!! You are all evil, a demon in disguise! I promise that you will never live happily! You will all be struggling in pain; all you can feel is pain, nothing more, nothing less!"...

... ...

...I told them while crying, I want to take revenge for them, but how could I do that?....

... ...

..."Tsk! Say all you can, but your time is over; I'm destined to kill you, Islaw, and I just want to tell you a secret before you die.”...

... ...

...I was frozen by what he said. He came near me and whispered it in my ear....

... ...

...“I'm not the one that you know; I'm not the person that you love and trust because it's just the other part of me."...

... ...

...He said it, and I was shocked because of what it meant....

... ...

..."Goodbye, Islaw; see you in hell."...

... ...

...He smiles like an evil, and the last thing that I remember is that he pulled his Bolo on his waist and swung it on my neck, and all went black....

... ...

...But before I could not see anything, I heard a voice....

... ...

...'Your death is going to be the start of the curse that was destined to be with you.'...

...ARCO...

... ...

..."Arcoooooooo!!!!"...

... ...

...I close my ear with my palm when I hear a noise coming from my sister's mouth. Why she's always doing it every morning...

... ...

..."Daisy! Can you please lower your voice? Can't you see I'm sleeping!?"...

... ...

...I shout at her. I hate it when someone wakes me up. I don't know if it was her hobby to ruin my peaceful sleep or if it was her ritual every morning....

... ...

..."Tsk! Tsk! Arc, wake up; we are going to be late!"...

... ...

..."Fine, fine, wait for me 5 minutes; I'm done."...

... ...

...I told my brother Braiden, who was taking a sip of coffee,...

... ...

...I just go to the bathroom and do my things....

... ...

...After a few minutes, I'm done....

... ...

...I opened my room door, and I saw the two of them....

... ...

..."Arc, seriously? How can you be a teacher if you don't know how to read the time? It's already 7:30 in the morning."...

... ...

...Daisy said, and I just raised my left eyebrow at them. It's not that I can't read the time; I just love to sleep in this cold place with a cold season....

... ...

..."C'mon, let's go and stop nagging me, okay? We are going to be late if you nag me first.”...

... ...

...I told them, and they just rolled their eyes at me. I heard Daisy start to murmur, but I just ignored her; it was her hobby anyway....

... ...

...We go to my car, and I start the engine....

...I drive all the way to school not to learn; I'm a teacher, a professional one. Actually, all three of us were teachers....

... ...

...But we are not teaching in a private or public school; we are a voluntary teacher in some part of our community that is far away from the city; it is Thirty minutes from our home. We want to help those children who want to learn, and because we have knowledge, we are not afraid to share it....

... ...

...You may be wondering why we are doing this. We just like it. Actually, we're doing this not to be heroes or anything; we're doing it because we want to help. Financial problems were not a problem for us because we have a company that my two brothers manage, and sometimes I manage it....

... ...

...It was kind of weird since I teach and do some business; it was like we were multi-tasking. But even though it was hard, I love my work because I love teaching....

... ...

...I stop the Car in a mini-parking lot here at the foot of the mountain, where the community is located at the top of it....

... ...

...And yes, we need to climb from here to reach them....

... ...

..."C'mon guys, get all your things and let's start climbing!"...

... ...

...My sister Daisy said that he was the one who walked first. At first, I didn't want to go here; it was a remote area and was not gaining a lot of attention from the government because of the location of that village. It was hard to reach, but seeing the smile of those children who were happily learning from us? It warms my heart....

... ...

..."Tsk, spacing out again, Arc? C'mon, stop smiling, you creepy geezer? You look like an idiot."...

... ...

...My brother Braiden said, Walk and follow Daisy....

... ...

...I just rolled my eyes and started climbing the mountain. I don't know if my siblings really love me so much....

... ...

...After Twenty minutes of climbing the mountain, we are finally here. I smell the scent of the flowers around the village....

... ...

...And I saw some of the children running towards us with a wide smile on their faces....

... ...

..."Teacher! Teacher!"...

... ...

...That was all they said to the three of us....

... ...

..."Teacher, are you going to sleep here tonight? We are having a celebration because it is the birthday of our elder son, who just came here this early morning!"...

... ...

...One of the children said I kneeled to him and giggled as I pecked his chubby cheeks; he just rubbed it and pouted. That was so cute....

... ...

..."Of course we will go to sleep here tonight, and I will tell you more stories."...

... ...

...I happily say it to them, and they all shout joyfully, and that makes me smile....

... ...

..."Go to our class room; I just changed my clothes, and I will be there."...

... ...

...I said, and they all nodded and ran away from me....

... ...

...I just stand and go to my room....

...Yes, we all have our own room here in the village. Their elders make it a gift to the three of us, so if we can't go home and we are tired, we can sleep and rest here....

... ...

...I opened the door and put my things in my room. It was just a simple room; every part of it was made of bamboo, from the window to the ceiling and bed. It's just like living in the past when you're here in their village. That's why I like it; I can feel that I'm part of this village....

... ...

...I removed my t-shirt and shorts; I'm just wearing a boxer. I got my towel, took off my boxer, and put the towel on my waist since I'm not comfortable taking a shower or a bath with a cloth on my body, and besides, no one could see me....

... ...

...I open the bathroom and go inside. The bathroom was nice; it's still a modern comfort room, but again, the wall was all made from bamboo, and I don't mind if some try to watch me while I'm here because the wall is really made to secure whoever is inside of it, so you can't see anything....

... ...

...I removed my towel on my waist and i open the shower, feel the warm of the water, yes this village on the top of the mountain have a shower it was because we gave some donation to this village so some of their things are modern they have electricity, It's the children who can't walk and take a ride the school was so far her it take Thirty minutes to reach it from here....

... ...

...That's why we are here to volunteer to teach them since we are licensed....

... ...

...I closed the shower, and then I was able to get my towel when the door opened....

... ...

...My small eyes turned wide when I saw a man that was half *****, and I looked to his face, and he was looking at me, not directly to my face but directly to my... I get my towel and put it on my waist when I realize that I'm totally *****....

... ...

...I saw him grin at me, and then I felt embarrassed....

... ...

..."What are you looking at? And what are you doing in my room?"...

... ...

...I asked him, but he didn't answer my question. I just shrugged my shoulders and asked the elder, Who is this bastard?...

... ...

...I was going to leave when he grabbed my hand....

... ...

...But it was the wrong move; it was really a very bad move....

... ...

...Because I lost my balance, I removed the towel from my hand and held his hand to stay still, but he lost his balance too, and the scene that I never imagined was happening right now....

... ...

..." Ahhhhhhhhh!"...

... ...

...END OF CHAPTER ONE...

...ARCO...

... ...

..."I'm really sorry for not telling you about it, Teacher Arc. Please accept my forgiveness."...

... ...

...The elder of this village said to me that I was here in his office, and after what happened a while ago, he said that he wanted to make an apology for what happened....

... ...

..."It's okay, sir; no need to worry."...

... ...

...I smiled at him, and I looked beside him; his son was smiling at me, so I just rolled my eyes at him....

... ...

...That b*stard was the elder Son, But why didn't he inherit the attitude of his father? His attitude and characteristics were totally opposite of his father's....

... ...

..."Thank God, you're really an angel, Teacher Arc.“...

... ...

...I just smiled and nodded; the thing that happened was nothing to me. I mean, we're both guys, so what's the deal?...

... ...

...“By the way, Arc, can I ask you a favor?"...

... ...

...The Elder said to me, If I just say yes, who am I to say no? After all, it's their village. Well, sure, I can, but I feel like I was obligated to say yes to his request....

... ...

..."Sure, sir, anything."...

... ...

...I smiled at him and rolled my eyes after I looked at his son by his side....

... ...

..."Can my son sleep in your room tonight? Just for tonight since the construction on his room will start tomorrow."...

... ...

...The elder said, and my eyes turned wide, and I wanted to shout and say to him that......

... ...

...' I don't want to sleep with the f*cking son of a b*tch and a b*stard! '...

... ...

...But of course I can't tell him that he is the elder of this village; if I say no, he will kick me out of this Village....

... ...

...I looked at his son, and I saw his annoying face again. I want to kill him right now because he is such a bastard. If my instincts were right, he was a playboy who wanted to play with other girls; it feels like he changed clothes the way he changed his girl....

... ...

..."Of course, sir, sleeping with your son is no big deal."...

... ...

...I smile awkwardly at him, and the Elder thanks me for understanding the situation, or, should I say, for having no choice in this situation....

... ...

...'F*ck, sleeping with him is a big deal! Such a big deal! How could I sleep with this jerk? '...

... ...

..."Then thank you again, teacher Arc. Then can you take him around this day? He wants to meet all the children in the village, and since you're the closest one to them, you can easily do it for sure."...

... ...

...The Elder says, and I just give him an awkward smile again. Really? Does destiny really want to play with me?...

... ...

..."Sure, sir, no problem."...

... ...

...I smiled awkwardly. I just want to go out and burst out in anger....

... ...

..."Then I will leave you two for now and see you at the party tonight."...

... ...

...The elder said to leave us here at his mini-office....

... ...

..."Should we go now, Teacher Arc?"...

... ...

...The son of a b*tch said so, so I sharply looked at him, and he just smiled at me....

... ...

..."Hi, I'm Morie, and your Arco is right? Or should I just call you Arc?"...

... ...

...He said this and laid his hand on me. He wanted me to give him a handshake, but I just looked into it and looked at his annoying face....

... ...

..."Just follow me."...

... ...

...I walk past him and go to the kids who are waiting for me in the classroom that we built....

... ...

..."Hey,why are you so surly? Do you have a menstrual period?"...

... ...

...He teased, and I looked at him, raised my middle finger, and said, "Oh, for God's sake, this b*stard is getting to my nerves....

... ...

..."Menstruate your face."...

... ...

...I told him, and I entered the building....

... ...

..."Good morning, Teacher Arc!"...

... ...

...One of the kids wished me a happy morning....

... ...

..."Good morning, cuties,so where did we end up our lecture last time? Or did Teacher Daisy and Teacher Braiden discuss it already?"...

... ...

...I ask the cute kids, who are just smiling wide and innocently at me....

... ...

..."They don't want us to read them a story or even discuss the lesson for today because they say they are waiting for their teacher."...

... ...

...Daisy said, and I saw her roll her eyes. I just laugh and look at the adorable kids. Of course, these kids really like me. I don't know, but I really love teaching these adorable ones....

... ...

..." Ahem!"...

... ...

...I looked in the direction where that fake cough came from and again saw his annoying face, and he pointed himself and pointed again to the kids. Yeah, I know my mission for today is for him to introduce the kids. Why would he just go in front and say his name? Is he an elementary school student who is shy in front of them?...

... ...

...I fix my posture and smile at the kids....

... ...

..."Good morning, children. Today I want to introduce you to the Elder's son. I know you know him already, but he said he wants to know all of you, so each of you will stand up and state your name or just simply introduce yourself. Is that okay?"...

... ...

...I smiled at them while talking....

... ...

..."Yes, teacher, Arc!"...

... ...

...They happily agreed, and one by one they went in front of the annoying j*rk and introduced themselves to the b*stard, who was happy and enjoying having a playful moment with the kids....

... ...

..."Hey Arc, are you okay sleeping with that guy? I feel something strange from him."...

... ...

...I looked at my back, and I saw my sister Daisy. Oh, she's really like a mushroom popping out everywhere....

... ...

..."What do you mean by something strange?”...

... ...

...I looked at her and took a breath....

... ...

...“And no, I don't want to sleep with that guy, but who am I to refuse the Elder's not-so-big favor, isn't it?"...

... ...

...I told it to her, and he just nodded....

... ...

..."Yeah, you can't do anything that stinks, and I don't know if it's just like I felt it for a long time, but I just felt it right away when I saw his face again. It's so familiar, actually. Very familiar."...

... ...

...My sister Daisy said, and I looked at her, who was still playing with the children....

... ...

..."Maybe you just saw him at the mall or anywhere else, and who wants to remember him with his annoying face? Then I guess you should just wish me luck for tonight."...

... ...

...I said to her, and she just patted my shoulder, showing her sympathy, and said good luck to me....

... ...

...I just watched this b*stard enjoy his moment and act as if he had met and greeted his fans today, and I'm curious what he thought of himself as an artist. His face isn't suitable for an artist....

... ...

...Well, he has attractive eyes, a pointed nose, kissable lips, and perfect jawlines. That was not perfect for an artist; his body was so fit, and he was a muscular one. I think he has abs—maybe six-pack abs—and that's kind of hot. Wait, did I just say he's hot? Did I insult him or just give him a f*cking compliment?...

... ...

...Whatever,even though he's handsome, he's still a jerk, a b*stard, and so annoying....

... ...

...I just shake my head and stop my wild imagination....

... ...

...Because I was imagining those things, which are not so appropriate, I didn't notice I was spacing out....

... ...

...My senses just go back to reality when someone speaks in front of me, as in just a few more inches away from my face, and he asks me something that I never thought he would ask me....

... ...

..."Hey, do you really like staring at me at all times because you want me to ask for a date?“...

... ...

...W-What? Me? Staring him? And what was he talking about, date?...

... ...

...“Well, if that's so, wait for me at the edge of the village, and don't worry, I won't be late."...

... ...

...He said, Leave me alone. I just dropped my jaw at what he just said....

... ...

...He's really crazy and annoying!...

... ...
