Unopened Rose (DRAFT! DRAFT!)

Chapter 65

"Impossible. Impossible." paulit-ulit na bigkas ni Matthew habang nakalubog sa bath tub.

Nalilito siya kung bakit nagkakaroon ng tattoo si Mameh pero itim pa rin ang buhok. He knew that her appearance will all change when the tattoo on her forehead appeared.

Ipinilig niya ang ulo saka inilubog ang buong katawan at mukha sa tubig ng matagal. Kahit nahihirapan na siya sa ilalim ng tubig ay hindi pa rin siya lumuwas hanggang sa may bigla na lang humila sa kanya mula sa ilalim sa tubig.

He took a very deep and long breath before staring at the child who was standing in front of him.

"Matteo? I though you are already sleeping? How come... you came here so fast?" hindi makapaniwalang tanong niya kay Matteo.

Matteo sighed deeply while shaking his head and folding his arms in front of his father.

"Your own blood that runs inside me is stronger than her blood inside your body." tanging sagot ni Matteo saka walang lingon-likod na lumabas.

"Huh?" 

Matthew was left dumbfounded.

"What's wrong with that kid? I can tell he really follows his father's attitude. Weird." sabi ni Matthew sa sarili. 

Hindi kasi niya maintindihan ang sinabi ni Matteo at isa pa hindi din siya makapaniwala na bigla na lang itong nagsalita na parang hindi bata sa harapan niya.

Ipinilig niya ang ulo saka tinapos na ang pagligo.

He already knew about Mameh's hair. For now that is just what he needs to know before talking to Ayeng. He will do everything to get the answer that he wants even if he needs to threaten Ayeng. He doesn't care. He doesn't have much time here. He also needs to go home to the palace or else Mameh's life will be in danger if the Prime Minister will enter here. Hindi lang ang totoong pagkatao niya ang malalaman ng mga tao kundi maaaring pati rin sina Ayeng at Philip at si Matteo. At ayaw niyang mangyari yon dahil ayaw niyang masira ang nagsisimula pa lang na samahan nilang magkakapatid.

"The Crown Princess has came down to the human world, my Lord." the man said while bowing.

 A man with a familiar fan sighed deeply before spreading his fan loudly into the air and fan himself.

"I don't think my grand daughter will really have a quiet life. Hayyy, I feel pity for her." the man said while closing the blue fan made of soft feathers.

"My lord, are you going back to the Heaven realm now? You have been staying here for over a month." 

Tumigil sa pagpapaypay sa sarili ang lalaki saka buntong-hininga na tumingin sa langit. 

"Nobody asked about me in the heaven realm and I also quite like  enjoy living as a human being here in the mortal world."

"But my Lord–"

"Yanna has been suffering all her life and this time I don't think I can just sit here and watched her suffer again." 

"But my Lord Yanna has been living a quiet life now–I mean for the moment, yes. The crown Princess doesn't know that her grand daughter is still alive. And also I think it is not appropriate for you to go to the east kingdom without any reason." 

The man closed his fan and turned back to face his assistant.

"Who said I'll go there as the Prime Minister of Ning Jing Kingdom's son? I can get myself a false death there and live as another's son here in the east kingdom. I heard the second Prince of the east is on a vacation. I can be him." Jacob said while smirking.
