Chihoon felt someone hugging him again. He blinked his eyes and saw that girl again. The girl that made him. He tried to move his hands. He can. He tried to move his feet. He can. Perfect. He is now complete.
Tumingin siya sa paligid. Ito na ba ang mundo? He looked at the girl who is still hugging her. He tried to stand at kumawala sa yakap niya. Dahan-dahan niyang tinanggal ang kamay ng babae sa likod niya saka siya tumayo ng dahan dahan para di siya magising.
He smiled at the light coming from the sun. Isa na akong ganap na tao ulit. Im free from the curse. Thanks to this womanss wish and talent that she made and completed him. After a hundred years of waiting for someone to bring him to life, now he is free. Prince Chihoon is free
Late nang nagising si Shanelle kinabukasan. Maybe because of a lot of things that taunts her mind. Gusto niyang makakuha ng mas madaming lakas by having a lot of sleep.
She looks around her room. Bakit nakaopen ang laptop ko? I didnt open it last night. She tilts her head.
Suddenly, narinig niya na parang nakaopen ang faucet niya sa banyo na para bang may naliligo doon. Bigla siyang nakaramdam ng kaba at the though of someone had entered her room.
She immediately grabs her perfume from her bag and slowly walks towards the bathroom. Sino ka man patay ka sakin.
She can hear the flowing water and someone taking a bath inside. The hell. Who is that? Kung magnanakaw yan bat pa niya nakuhang maligo ditto? She wanted to scream and gets out of the room to call for her dad, pero naisip niya she can handle that alone.
Huminga siya ng malalim at hinawakan ang handle ng doorknob, while her right hand is holding the perfume that she can use as a defense.
"Sino ka man, talagang ---" as she tried to open the door, someone just opened it from the inside and that made her scream in shock.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! Wh-who are you?! Why are y-you" she pointed at that guy who is half naked, with damp hair, and even wearing her towel. "...here in my room!" tinuloy niya ang pagsigaw.
Wala siyang kaide-ideya kung sino tong lapastangang trespasser na pumasok sa kwarto niya at ginamit pa ang banyo niya.
"You made me. And you even wish I was here," the guy grabbed the perfume from her hand at inamoy yun. "Balak mo bang I spray to sa mata ko?" ngumiti ang lalake saka lumakad papuntang closet.
"Wh-what are you..." she followed him. "What are you saying really? Who are you and why are you in my room!" she grabbed his hand as he tried to open her closet.
"Pwede bang magbihis muna ako?" he opens her drawer and flips through her clothes. She grabs the t-shirt that Gabrielle gave her and her jogging shorts.
"Hey! What are you doing with my things! Give me those! Umalis ka na sa kwarto ko ngayon din!" shes still yelling, as she tried to take her clothes back, but he already wore them.
"Can you stop yelling at me? Youre getting annoying now, really," he walks to her bed at umupo doon. "Di mo ba talaga ako namumukhaan?"
"Pano ko naman mamumukhaan ang isang trespasser aber? Kung di ka umalis tatawag na ako ng pulis!" she said and grabs her phone.
Kinuha ng lalake ang sketchpad ni Shanelle sa bed at ipinakita ito sakanya. "Tignan mow ala na ang sketch mo dito sa sketchpad mo."
She looks at her sketchpad. Her masterpiece. Its gone. She grabs it from him and looks at it closely. "Wh-where is it? Where is my masterpiece!"
"Its me. Im your masterpiece," he said and lays down her bed. "Ah, eto na ba ang feeling na matutulog sa malambot na kama? I didnt think its this good."
"What" tinignan niya ang lalake na ngayon ay nakahiga na sa kanyang kama. It cant be.
He looks like him. He looks like my masterpiece. He looks like Prince Chihoon. "How did you I mean Why? Is this a dream? I dont think this is really happening!"
"I said stop yelling. Tsk," he looks at her. "Ako nga ang masterpiece mo. Im the one you made. Im Prince Chihoon. And this isnt a dream." He gets up and walks towards her. "Di ka ba masaya? Ahcan we celebrate it?" he pats her shouldres and walks towards the door. "Ngayong ganap na akong isang tao, exploring the world will be my first job," he said and went out.
Nanatiling nakatulala si Shanelle. She still cant get it. How can Prince Chihoon gets out from her sketchpad? How can he become a real human? Panong nangyari yun? She is still stunned and shocked when she noticed that he is not in the room anymore.
Dali-dali siyang tumakbo para hanapin siya. She found him at the kitchen taking out everything from the refrigerator.
"A-are your-really real?" she asked as she looks at him.
"You're really annoying you know? No wonder your ex-boyfriend left you," he said as he bites the apple he is holding.
"How did you even know that?"
"Gabi-gabi mo kaya akong binabasa ng mga luha mo telling me everything about how he hurts you, of course, I will know it."
Her mouth agapes. Hes real. Oh my goodness hes real. What should I do?
"Wait, I cant possibly share with your things, right? Then how can I possibly have my own things?" sabi ng lalake nang di nagsalita si Shanelle. Nawiwirduhan man siya sa inaasta ng babae iniintindi na lang niya dahil nga nagulat pa siya sa pagiging tao niya.
Yes, and you cant stay here either. "You go buy your things. I will give you my credit card. Andugh why is this even happening? You cant stay here. And sleep in my room!" she said holding her nape. Geez, this is making me crazy.
"Thats no difference. Niyayakap mo naman ako tuwing gabi at hinahalikan," he said na nakapagpapula sa mukha ni Shanelle.
"Th-thats thats different! You are a sketch then ngayon tao ka na. and until now I cant believe that you came to life. Aisht, what will I do with you, really?" she sits down in front of him and pursed her lips.
"Gaya nga ng sabi ko, you wished for me to be real. And you made me. Worst, pinangalandakan mo sa buong mundo na boyfriend mo ako."
She takes a deep breath. "Enough with that," she gets her bag and brought out her credit card. "Here, go buy your things tapos ako pupunta ako ng school. Dont you ever show yourself to anyone, understand?"
"How am I supposed to go out without showing myself? You dont expect me to be invisible, do you?" iiling-iling ang lalake saka tumayo. "Aalis na ko."
"Umuwi ka as early as 3PM! Thats before my dad comes home. And go straight to my room!"
He just waved his hand as he walks outside.
