Chapter 24: The return of the Wild Knight

Toshizou: “And what made you think that I would grant that outrageous request of yours?”

Toshiya: “Coz I will do everything you asked me to do.. I would even start working in your company like you wanted me to… just grant my request and I will do what you want..” seryosong sabi nito.

Napa smirked naman si Toshizou sa sinabi ni Toshiya.

Toshizou: “So, it would only take Ceres Aoihana for you to bow down to me Toshiya?”

Toshiya: “I’m not bowing down to anyone… I’m just using every advantage I have to get what I want…”

Toshizou: “Well, whatever the case is, it’s not all up to me… but before I do that.. talk to your parents first… and the price for even considering your request… you still have to work for my company… whether you like it or not.. Take it or leave…”

Toshiya: “Fine… whatever you want.. Ojii-sama…”

Toshizou: “Then I’ll take your word for it..”

Isinara ni Toshiya ang pinto ng office ng grandfather niya saka sumaldal dito. Nagpakawala ito ng isang malalim na buntong hininga.

Toshiya: “one problem down… and a lot more to go…” mahinang bulong nito.

Aoihana/Fujimiya Estate

Nakahiga lang si Ceres sa kama nito at nakatingin sa kisame, maya’t maya niyang hinahawakan ang labi niya saka bigla na lang mamumula ang mukha.Ilang araw na siyang laging nakatulala, laging malalim ang iniisip, at mas lumala pa ito dahil sa nangyari kanina. Maraming tumatakbo sa isip niya, mga bagay na hindi niya maintindihan, mga pangyayaring hindi niya nagugustuhan, mga nararamdamang hindi niya alam kung ano ang ibig sabihin… ng hindi na makatiis ay bigla itong napasigaw.

Ceres: “Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!”

Nagulat naman ang bagong dating na si Aki. Patakbo nitong tinungo ang kawarto ni Ceres, ng makita siya ni Ceres ay patakbo itong yumakap sa kanya, nagulat man si Aki ay sunod sunod nitong tinapik ang likod ni Ceres.

Aki: “Doshita no?.. Daijoubo?”

Naramdaman ni Aki ang pag iling ni Ceres.

Ceres: “Daijoubo ja nai yo…” mahinang bulong nito, di nga siya halos marinig ni Aki kasi nakasubsob ito sa bandang balikat ni Aki habang nagsasalita.

Aki: “Bakit?.. anong nangyari?”

Umiling ulit si Ceres.

Ceres: “I don’t know… I don’t know what to think and what to feel… I only know that I think I’m getting weaker by the day…” sabi nito sabay bitaw kay Aki at tinalikuran ito at lumayo ng bahagya.

Aki: “What makes you say that?”

Ceres: “ I’m not sure… maybe because I get affected by little things… petty things can even make me cry.. though it’s really nothing to cry about..”

Nag alala naman si Aki sa sinabi ni Ceres. Hindi naman maiiwasang manibago si Ceres sa mga nararadaman niya, dahil sa halos 2 taon ang  nawala sa ala ala niya.

Aki: “So what do you want to do then?”

Pagkarinig nun ay nilingon naman ni Ceres si Aki at lumapit ulit dito.

Ceres: “I want to get back what I’ve lost… though that’s kind of impossible right now.. getting back my memories is next to impossible… so I want to get stronger, so that I don’t need to cry on something insignificant, and I won’t be affected by little things. …”
