We reached to Ember Island (with a little help from Appa of course) just in time to see the play. I noticed that Zuko brought Mai along with him. My soul ragged with anger as I saw the two of them holding hands. Aang was with me too, but we didn't held each others hands; he tried though, but I always released it, as I sinabi before, I just pretended to pag-ibig him. We sat at the same seats we did last time, Toph however, sat up front so her feet can see it. I sat susunod to Zuko like last time, but Mai was sitting susunod to him too, and Aang sat sa pamamagitan ng me also.
The play began. The actors for Sokka and I were the same, and their lines were too. I guess Sokka was incorrect about the play being "good". When they got to the part wear Sokka and I found Aang nagyelo in an iceberg, Aang was relieved when he found out that it was an actor that played him, and not an actress. However, the actor had a girlish side. As the play went on, I gazed at Zuko. My eyes glistered as I looked at his dark coal black hair, and pale white skin. My eyes met his, but just for a moment; for his eyes flickered away, and instead, my eyes met with Mai's. The expression on her face told me to stay away from him, but how? How could I stay away from him. I love him. He's my puso and soul, my life, my spirit, my whole. I looked back to the play and watched it until they got to the part where Zuko and I got trapped in the cave.
I payed close attention to that part, even though it was an awful memory of Zuko betraying me, I still payed close attention, and I was surprised that they changed the lines. And here is how it went:
Me(actress): Zuko! What are you doing here???
Zuko(actor): The Dai Li captured me and threw me in this cave, I didn't expect to see you here!
Me(actress): Well I didn't expect to see you either!
Zuko(actor): You look pretty.
Me(actress): Thank you....
And as the actors that played us approached. They kissed! I turned to Zuko to see his reaction, but he wasn't there. So I rose from my upuan to look for him.
I finally found him on the porch were Aang and I were last time. He was looking at the stars (I haven't realized that it was late!).
"Is everything alright Zuko?" I asked.
He didn't answer. I approached him.
"Is something wrong?" I asked him again.
"I'm sorry..." he whispered.
"What do you mean?"
"When I betrayed you, back at Ba Sin Se!"
"Zuko, that was a long time ago, and I have forgiven you!"
"But that was cruel of me!" He began to shout.
"Zuko--"
"YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!!!! I was confused and Nawawala back there! I gained your trust, but I was a fool to loose it.....the first trust and confidence I had!"
"What about your uncle?"
"IT'S NOT THE SAME!!!! MY UNCLE'S TRUST WAS FOR A FATHER, BUT YOURS...........yours was powerfull, and comforting........AND I Nawawala IT!!!
"YOU HAVEN'T Nawawala MY TRUST ZUKO!!! I TRUST YOU NOW!!!! I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!! I---"
"YOU WHAT????"
"I pag-ibig you...."
There was a long silence.
"What about the avatar?" he asked.
"He's sweet and kind....but it is you who I truely love!" I began. "Ever since I've notived something special about you.......but I was too frightened to confess to you.....besides, you have Mai, and I know that you two are happy together."
As I was heading back inside, he grabbed my arm and pulled me towards him. Our eyes met, and slowley my lips met with his, and when they touched, I felt a spark run through my spine, and shivered my whole body, until I felt numb and slightly fainted. He grasped me tight to make sure I didn't fell, but our lips were still locked tight, as if someone had glued are lips together. But still, I felt joy in my puso and spirit, and hope was born in my soul and mind that there might be a chance for Zuko and I to be together.
