CHAPTER 10: SMALL FIGHT

She moved her feet out of the huge double door and was welcomed by the magnificent sunlight. Before her eyes, empowering the dominance and masculinity, the man who's standing gracefully as his back was directly facing her sight.

"Are you coming with me or not?" hindi niya namalayan na kanina pa pala syang nakatitig sa makisig na likod ng binata.

He turned his back. The annoyance was written all over his face. Hindi nakapagsalita ang dalaga nang mapansin ang kabuoang pigura nito. Hindi niya ito napansin nang sila'y kumakain. Dahil ang tanging nasa isip niya ay ang namumuong tensyon sa pagitan nila.

"Sasama ka ba o bubuhatin pa kita papunta rito?"

"Ito na nga. Sasama na." She doesn't want to argue with him. Kaya minabuti nya nalang sumunod para wala ng gulo.

A white horse was behind him. He begun to lift himself up to sit on the horse. Then he held out his hand to reach hers. "Lets go."

Tinapakan niya ang isang nakasabit na bilog na bakal sa gilid ng kabayo at saka tinanggap ang kamay nya. Bahagya syang napatili sa mabilis na pag-angat nito sakaniya. "You need to familiarize yourself with each corner of the palace. Because I'm about to show you everything I owned that will be yours after we get married. You'll further see the outside walls upon my order. Sangayon, dito muna sa tahanan ko ang lilibutin natin. Any question?"

"Nothing." mabilis nyang tugon. "But I don't have any idea about the role and duties of a queen."

"I will discuss you that later on. Shall we go?" tanging tango lang ang tugon nito at hinintay itong patakbuhin ang kabayo. Matapos ng ilang segundo ay hindi pa sila umaandar. She slightly moved her head, tilted to looked at the side of his face.

Bago pa niya ibuka ang bibig ay nagsalita agad ito. "Put your hands around my waist." mariin niyang ani.

"Huh? Bakit pa? Mukang malapit naman ang—" before she could finish her words, he lashed out the rope halter of the horse. Mabilis na umandar ang kabayo kaya mahigpit siyang kumapit sa bewang nito.

"Slow down! Baka mahulog tayo!" hindi sakaniya nakinig ang binata at lalong binilisan ang pagpapatakbo.

She hugged him tightly as she was afraid to fall on the ground. This guy is so reckless, stubborn and hot-tempered! Naiinis sya sa lalaki. Kung bakit sa dinami-dami ng mapapangasawa niya ay ito pang mainitin at mahirap intindihin.

The strong wind carried the strand of her hair. She could feel the coolness of the air by the speed of his horse. Sa kabila ng suot ng binata ay ramdam ng mga kamay niya ang matikas na pangangatawan nito. His ripped muscle was vivid on his tight clothes. Whereas, at the back of her mind was wanting to touch those.

Then her eyes wandered on his hands. His visible veiny hands are a bit larger than hers. Naisip niya kung anong pakiramdam ang makulong sakaniyang bisig.

"Done checking me?"

Naputol ang kaniyang pag-iisip nang lumingon ito sa kaliwa niya. Agad niyang nilayo ang mukha upang bigyan ito ng distansya.

"If not... May i inform you that we have arrived." he said as a matter of fact. "Kaya maaari mo nang tanggalin ang iyong mga kamay para makapagsimula na tayo."

Dahan-dahan siyang bumitaw sa mahigpit na pagkakayakap dito. Nakaramdam tuloy sya ng hiya sa nangyari. Hindi lang dito kundi sa sarili niya. She hated herself to think about indicent things about him. That's ridiculous!
