CHAPTER EIGHT
SLEEPING BEAUTY
"Wala na po bang ibang paraan?" I feel like I'm about to be exiled. I will live with Mrs. Craftster... with Uryll. Pakiramdam ko parusa sa akin ang gagawing pagtira ko kasama sila. I don't know Mrs. Craftster but Ynior trusted her so much. Pero iba ang nararamdaman ko kapag naririnig ko ang pangalan niya. Maybe it was hard for her. Her brother died for her family, just to protect them from the demons.
Losing someone so dear to you is a torture; I experienced it firsthand when I lost my father too. It was damn painful. To think na ako pa talaga ang dahilan kung bakit siya namatay.
"No." Ynior retorts, "She knows what to do to you, Nathalia. She trained her brother in his younger years. She traded going to school just to be with him."
I heaved a sigh. Things you do for love. Of course, kailangan mag sakripisyo para sa mga taong mahal mo. Minsan, you have to give up your own happiness for them to be happy. It's a give and take relationship.
"Pero bakit kasama si Uryll?" I asked. Pwede namang ako na lang. Uryll has the Ice Imaclum and he can perfectly control his power.
Ynior smiled sheepishly, "Hindi ibig sabihin na kapag kontrolado mo na ang kapangyarihan mo ay malakas ka na... Sometimes, the weak is hiding in a strong physique." Makahulugan niyang sabi.
My brow creased. Anong ibig niyang sabihin?
"Kailangan niya ring hanapin ang sarili niya, Ms. Delacroix. Mr. Hutchinson is one lost soul."
Mas lalo lang akong naguluhan sa mga sinabi ni Ynior. "Does this mean, he'll be with me all throughout the duration of my stay in Mrs. Craftster's house?"
He grins like a schoolboy, "Yes. If things gone wrong, just cross the bridge when you get there." He winks and chuckled a bit. Tumayo siya at inayos ang sarili. "Rest, Nathalia. I will send them back here. They will tell you the drill." He said. Akmang aalis siya nang marinig niya muli ako.
Out of nowhere, hindi ko napigilan ang bibig kong itanong sa kanya ang kanina ko pa naiisip, "Who are you, sir?" I just recognized him as Ynior, the headmaster of Worthwood Academy. But I want to know him more. He's a puzzle to me.
Hinarap niya ulit ako na may ngiti sa mukha, "I thought you wouldn't ask that. Kanina ko pa nababasa ang isip mo..." I flushed like the color of the tomato. Urgh! Nakakahiya. I want the bed to eat me alive right now. Isa sa dapat ko na ring makontrol ay ang pagsara ng isip ko para hindi na mabasa ng iba. I need to keep things for myself. Lalo na't minsan, hindi ko mapigilang manlait.
"I am Magnus Axejor Leufred Clayhanger."
Oh.
"I prefer Ynior." I flushed in embarrassment. Are his parents drunk or something when they named him? It's too long for a person's name. Hindi ako makatingin sa kanyang mga mata. From my peripheral vision, I can see that he is smiling from ear to ear. "Your name is too mouthful." I said without filter.
That sounds so rude!
"I guessed it right! Anyway, hindi na ako magtatagal. Mrs Craftster will accompany you together with Mr. Hutchinson. You still have enough time to pack up your things. You'll be leaving first thing tomorrow." He went out of the door even before I could fire him questions.
Pinilit kong tumayo kahit na medyo nahihilo pa ako dala ng pagsakit ng ulo ko. Lumapit ako sa floor to ceiling na bintana. Hinawi ko ang malapad ang mahabang kurtina na tumatakip sa malaking bintana. Palubog na pala ang araw. I slept for three long days. Ang dami ko na palang absent. Buti na lang at nagising na ako ngayong araw.
