Blue Moon

" I thought the story about a sirene that appears here in the middle of the night is true ! " Lenon says . Arielle looked away in shocked " What are you doing here ? maybe you've been here and watched me all along " she stated , then cover her front . " Me ? will try to watch you like that ? common ! Arielle , theres a lot of pretty girls at the town why should inbothered to ? " Lenon explained . " Your so antipathetic! maybe even if you are the only guy remaining in this world, I will never ever be chose to be with you ! ? " Arielle said with determination . " Dont be so sure about it arielle,Remember its bluemoon now " Lenon said while smirking , " Dont you heard about the saying ? whoever man is with you while it was blue moon , He is the man that you'll be with for life . " She wrinkled her forehead and think in her self that she would prefer to commit suicide than to be with this pathetic man . Chapter 1 That night with the attractiveness of the spring in the middle of the forest , a beautiful lady named Arielle riding on horse named White appeared and can't help herself but to fall in love with the loveliness of the spring as it shines through the darkness with the light comes from the brightness of the moon. How ever , she always wonder what with it's place and she always wanted to be near here alone . Maybe because of the quietness and she finds it peacefully . She undressed herself and without hesitation , she walks into the water. She feels the coldness through her body as she remember that when she was a child, she and her cousins used to be in this place playing and slept through the slippery stones. " I thought the story about a sirene that appears here in the middle of the night is true ! " a rough shocking voice from a man said, thatmakes arielle felt little bit afraid . When she look behind her , it was Lenon standing at the top of a big rock that seems like a Greek God because of the light comes from the moon behind his back . Arielle was shocked and covered her front with her two arms amd angrily asked , '' What are you doing here ? '' '' I should ask you the same question , Dont you know that it is very dangerous with a young beautiful lady like you to go on such this place alone ? '' Lenon answered worried Lyn. '' And how come that it is very dangerous here , huh ? As far as i know , we owned this place because its part of our Hacienda Valencia, thats why no one can enter this place without permission , '' Arielle arrogantly replied. '' Don't you even think abouy it, Arielle ? this spring cant be lowered , what if someone passes by or some rebels found you here and saw you naked like that , what will you think they do to you ? '' Lenon explained. She just swallowed and she admitted that she never thought about it. " Go get yourself dressed and i willbtake you homeright now," Lenon demanded . This is one of the reasons why Arielle hate Lenon . Because of its attitude that he treats her like one of the staff in the hacienda and feels like he belong to the owner of this and he didnt even respect Arielle when she was talking to her. " And what makes you think that i will do it ? I can managed to go home alone " Arielle hardly replied . He shrugged and said , " Its up to you , but i only heard some shootings not far from here . Dont blame me if someone will pass by here at anytime and gets you as their captives. For all we know some of the rebels wants a beautiful and young woman to be their slaved " Arielle got afraid . She didn't gets frightened about some ghost or creatures beacause she didn't believe it was true . But rebels ? she swallowed and thinks about what Lenon said earlier and it makes her feel that she wants to passed out because of the nervous she felts. " Okay okay fine , whatever ! I'll go with you , " she answered pretending she doesn't even want to . Lenon smirked . She raised an eyebrow at him and said . " Wait , maybe you came too early here and watched me all along ? " " Me ? Will try to watch you like that ? common ! Arielle , theres a lot of pretty girls at the town why would i even bothered to ? Lenon explained. Arielle don't know what will she reacts about it in Lenon's tone of voice its like he insults her . " I don't even wondered why Rossete rejected you . Youre so antipathetic . Maybe even if you are the only one guy remaining in this world , I will never ever chose to be with you . " Dont be so sure about it arielle , Remember its bluemoon now " Lenon said while smirking , " Dont you heard about the saying? whoever man is with you while it was blue moon , He is the man that you'll be with for life." She frowned . Yes she already heared about that saying but she doesn't believe it . It makesnhernthinks that , " If ever I will be with this kind of guy for life , I will only chose death . I don't think I can take his attitude , never ! " " Hurry ! and i will watch basketball after , " Lenon impatiently said . " How can i dressed up while you were standing in front of me ? huh ! " Arielle irritatedly said " Blah ! Blah ! Blah ! " Lenon said as he turning his back in to Arielle . Arielle gets her lingerie at the top of a big rock and hurriedly dressed up . " I hope you will never get back to that spring alone , Arielle . and i hope , this is the last time . Just stay in your room because its not good for young lady like you to go outside in the middle of the night . " Lenon said as he seems like talking on a child . She smiled sarcastically and get a cigarette on her pocket . But before she even lights it up, Lenon got it and throw it away . " And it's really not good for a young lady like you to always have a smoked in her mouth . Basically you can have a bad breath with the cigarettes . For all you know,there's no one wants to kissed a bad-breath lady like you . " " I don't care . " She said as she gets another piece of cigarette on her pocket and this time she make sure that Lenon can't get it . Lenon stared at her . " Maybe when you get inlove, you'll fixed yourself ? " " Why you? did you got yourself fixed when you fell inlove with Rosette ? " She asked while raising an eyebrow at him . He put a smiled as he turns around. " Did you get hurt ? " She asked . He frowned and look at her. She smiled . " I mean , did you get hurt when Rosette rejected you ? and she chose Charles over you ? " She mockedly asked . He always gets her irritated thats why she wants him to feel the same way , too. " On that matter , maybe even me , I will also chose Charles over you . " She said . " Look at yourself , youre naughty , antipathetic , you always wear your old ragged pants and don't even know how to wear a decent clothes . You look like smelly or you even smelled like one - - - " . She stopped and can't continue what she was saying earlier cause Lenon fastly got infront of her . She was stunned as Lenon hold her waist , pull her tight and sealed her lips with a kiss . She was not shocked with Lenon's doing but in her reaction after he's done . She felt like she was electrified . It felt a different kind of feelings and sensation throughout her body . That was her first kiss , and she didn't even thought that it would be from a guy who she hated much for life . But , why is it that the effect of his kiss was different ? Why is it that she felt she wants more ? And infairness , Lenon was very fragrant. Thats why she also enjoys hownit feels . But before she almost forgot, she quickly released him . " Now you can tell if i'm smelly , " Lenon annoyedly said . She can't speak . " I also what to appologize , Miss Arielle Valencia , If i look like disgusting one . Its the only thing a slave of you can wear . " Lenon mockedly said . " Anyway , Princess its very late and I took a lot of your precious time . Its time for me to go . If ever you want something dont hesitate to call me . Have a good night and sleep well . " Lenon said . When she arrived at the hacienda . Arielle stands still in front of the door as Lenon walks away . She's out of herself thinking about that kiss earlier . Was it only her imagination or is it the true feelings when someone kisses you . " Arielle , where did you came from ? " She heard the voice coming from her mother . She shrugged and said , " Just there mom , " and she went inside her room . Aurora sadly looked into her daughter , Arielle . The wall between them was already too high that she cant seem to break . But she always do whatever she can just to bring back the trust of her loving daughter . She cant blame Arielle, after all it was Aurora's fault . Then tears suddenly fell on her eyes . Fourteen years ago , She almost killed her daughter . Maybe she can't forgive her . As Arielle closes the door of her room , every memories of the terrible past comes back . Fourteen years ago when her mother came back from america with her american husband named Tony with their newly born baby Alexis . She was barely seven years old back that time . She's missing the love and attention from her mother , she's been two years in america . Only the baby sitter and her uncle Ferdinand was the only person who take good care of Arielle from that time . Arielle became jealous to her new born brother because all of the attention of their mother was with him . Whatever she do , her mother always ignored her . Even she got a high grade from school , it doesn't bother her . She has a new family and she forgot about Arielle , her daughter in her first husband . Or maybe she purposely ignore her because she was angry to the father of Arielle , and she look like every inch like her father . The Spanish features and mannerisms even the dimples on her face . She thinks thats the reason why her mother was mad about her . Never the less, she still loves her . She also love her new born baby brother Alexis . One day , Arielle saw Alexis crying . She lift him up but he's to heavy for her , and he's moving and moving thats when Alexis fell into the ground . Tony saw it and he quickly said it to Aurora . She will never forget about all the strikes she gets from the belt that her mother hits her . She fell and she broke her head and passed out , Its almost an hour for her being unconscious and when she wakes up , shes too frightened to her mother . From that day , she promised that she will never ever force her self to be near to her mother and to her new family again . They don't want Arielle to their life so she decided that she don't want them either to her life . She started crying again . She don't want to remember those things happen to her before . She's frightened when she even thinks about it . All the trust she has for her mother are gone . Her mother almost killed her that's why she can't never ever forgive her . She stand up and open all the windows in her room . She looks upon the moon . It was indeed blue . She doesn't want to believe about the saying but she can't forget what Lenon said and his kiss comes back to her mind over and over again. She wants to laugh at her self for thinking she's might be crazy . It was just a kiss ! What will she be worried about ? " Lenon close his eyes and starts to reminisce . But still , the picture of the moment when he kiss Arielle repeats to run in his mind . He startled and cover his face by the pillow , he was holding as he lies on the bed . For so many girls who Lenon's have kissed , nothing can compare to the lips of Arielle . He glitteredly smiled and thinks . He stand and begin to walk outside his house . He looks at the night sky . The color of the moon stay the same . It remains blue . He return inside the house and get some beer at the refrigerator . He sit at the stairs and contented to look at the moon . Arielle get up early in the morning. It's very lite to the feelings and she felt happy without knowing where did it came from . She remember that kissed Lenon gave her last night . " could it be because of the kiss ? " she asked her self . " Of course not ! " she shouted at herself! She was happy because . . . because she was happy and there's no other reason for that . She get out of his room and so Alexis . " Good morning sister , " he said while he is smiling . She smiled back . Alexis was too kind to her . She knows that they wanted to be close with her again and she loves them , too . But she's only afraid to show it. She already gave the love and trust they want from her but what she did get in return ? Her own mother almost killed her . She thinks , what if I failed again ? Nevermind . At the dining room , theres Lyza and Lina . An identical twins . She's not good in memorizing the identity of this two because she doesnt want to be close to them either . " Good morning sister . " They almost said it both . " Good morning " , She said without smiling . She get some juice from the refrigerator and put some on a glass . " You look blooming today sister , " said from one of the twins. Fourteen years old but looks as big as their older sister . " Thanks " She answered briefly . She gets the bread with bacon and went to the terrace to have her breakfast there . After the incident Fourteen years ago , She already forgot that she's the one of the member of the family . She was only in this house because she wants to fight for her rights in this house . She's a Valencia , and for all they know she owns all the rights to the shares and properties of her father's mansion . And among her cousin Jesabell , Arielle is the most favorite grand child of her grandfather She's the one who stand as her father . After breakfast , She get a ride at the horse and went to his cousin Riza . She has a piano lesson and Auntie Claudia was busy playing majong When did she saw her auntie wasn't playing this game ? " Good morning auntie Claudia ? , " She said and kiss her at the chick and she went to the music room . " When will you go back to Manila ? " Riza asked . " What will I do when I go back in Manila ? Its too hot there . " She answered while getting the lates issue of metro manila magazine and read it. " Don't you say that you will not attend to the christeningofnour first nephew ? " She's talking about the chikd of their cousin Jesabell and and Dred . " Maybe not . Why is it that they want the event to be done there ? " She answered asnshe gots her cigarette from her bag and light it on . " I'll just stay here in hacienda , I let you give them my gift . " " You're very allergic to Manila , huh ! " She shrugged . She don't even think about herself being at the city for a long time . That's the deal that they have both didn't want to live on a place that's too noisy and crowded . That's why when she was sent in a University in manila to go on college , she just finish the first semester and decided to continue her study in their province . When she was in highschool they both sent in America to have their study with their cousin Riza . Riza has finish her study there, while Arielle got her first year high school only and decided to go back home in the Philippines . She dont want t be on the city but among their cousins , she's the only one who got a worst life ever. Maybe Riza have guest . That was Arielle think about . " You're too allergic in manila but it's you who has a lot of vices " Riza explained while she was laughing . She laughs with bitternes . The piano continues to play . Arielle close her eyes . Riza was very good at playing piano. She almost knew how to play all kinds of instrument . She inherited this from her italian father who's musically inclined . Now she can even see how Riza will shine as a great musician in the future . " Riza can i ask you something if you dont mind ? Dont you ever had a thought about finding your real father? " Arielle woriedly asked . She stop playing the instrument for a while . When she open her eyes, Arielle saw the sadness of her eyes . Its like she wants to regret that question that she asked . She knows that like her , She wanted to look for her father either . Sometimes she tries to tries to loom for her father in Italy . She go with Luz but failed to find him . Her Auntie Claudia refuse to help them either. The one who's dead wont go on a living again. For her his dead and will never comeback again because he left her and Riza without saying a thing. She had a bit of luck unlike her cousin because even a little , her father left her some memories. But Riza , She knew her father. Only in the picture . " How can you find a person who's hiding ? I insist , right? Bet he doesn't want to appear , what will I do? " She bitterly said. " On that matter , lets go . Do your practice later . Lets go out . Theres a lot of sweet mangoes there , lets get some. " " Go on with yourself . I need to get this perfect . " then she leaves her . Arielle knows that Riza's passion is music for life , this hacienda is Arielles life . The memeries of her youth is the one that she's holding on to that sometimes in her life , her family was whole . She return riding on her horse . She drives it fast while she was laughing . She went on the west side of the hacienda . Wher in theres a hundred mango tree's planted . " Good morning Senorita , " a man greeted her while turning of his cap . " Do you need anything else ? " " I just want to pick some mango fruits , " She answered . " Just wait Senorita and I'll get some for you . . . " " No , I mean , I want to pick and get it on my own. Don't you know , I knew how to get up on the tree ? " She said while she was laughing . Maybe he didn't know about it . " But Senorita , its too high to climb amd your parents will be mad at meif something bad happen to you " " Dont you worry , I can handle it myself . " She proudly said . Theres nothing that man can do but to let her Senorita go on . When she's at the top of the tree , shes very happy . She always do it . But dont just let Jigs knows about it and she will be scold . Jigs hated her to see at the top of the tree . It's too dangerous for a lady like her. But she always enjoying it . " What kind of joke is this ? the familiar voice asked . Her heart starts to beat so fast and she didn't know why, Its fresh from her memory , the kiss that he gave at her . When she looked down , She saw Lenon . " Get down there . " He commanded. She ignores it. Who the hell is him to her life ? and why he even bother to always mind what she was doing. She continue to get some mangoes . " Don't you ever want to come down? " " When you fall " " I don't even care ! " " with you? a hard headed girl like you , Its not imposible to get your broken head with this big rocks down here . " She only raised her eyebrow to him . She saw a large riped mango and step on a branch . She thought she could get it and she dipped it to a shrimp paste . She started to feel sourness in his mouth . For too much excitement to get that mango she didn't notice that the branch she was stepping in was too weak . Before she can hold on to another branch , she noticed that shes already falling . She close her eyes . Maybe its the end of her . She prayed . She continue to apologize to the lord . She loves her sibblings so much and also her mother . She cried . She almost died but she didn't even said that she loves them so much . All the feelings that she hide were kept until she die . And why in this kind of incident that she will die ? Got died because of falling from the mango tree ? She jumped suddenly when she notice that she didn't bump in to the big rock . When she open her eyes she found out that Lenon holding her to his arms . Her chick got reddish when their eyes get cross to each other .
