"Where's the thread?" Tanong ko.
Hindi makapaniwalang ngumisi si Reis dahil sa hinihingi ko. Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay.
"You're going out? Isa ka ng Alpha, Ruby Shim!" Pumitik pa siya kaya umurong ako.
Pinalo ko ang kamay niyang nasa noo ko.
"Sandali lang ako do'n. I already built the new clan successfuly. Look at it. It's almost done."
They're here at the eastern castle. There's no name for a new clan again but I'm planning to create soon. It can't be Kares. That name served as a tragedy to those who have died with that clan's cruelty.
"Why didn't you change the white color?" Ulfa asked while looking what's inside the bag.
"Nah. This should be red but it is for the Western clan. Maybe when a new breed will be born, let's see the color of the eye." Sagot ko.
"Kailan mo balak gumawa ng breed?"
Natigilan ako sa tanong niya. Nilapitan ko ang anak niyang nasa crib. I made this guest room for them. They are staying here for a while. Reis does not want to stay there at our home and I don't know why.
It's better if he will stay here, he said. Para raw mabantayan niya ako kung sakaling magkagulo. Ewan ko ba. Masyado siyang magulo. Ayaw niyang kunin ang posisyon mula kay Papa kahit na siya ang nararapat.
"I don't have any plans to carry a child." Sagot ko.
"What?" Gulat na tanong niya.
"Maybe I'll wait for Brina and Havier to have a child. Sure, their breed will be one of the strongest breed. Brina is like my daughter now." I played Zahn's feet while avoiding their eyes.
"Why don't you convince my brother. What if he still loves you? Then... It will be a perfect breed. He will never refuse to marry you." Sagot ni Ulfa bago lumapit sa akin.
Doon ako tumigil. Umupo ako sa may kusina. This is similar to a condo unit in the mortal realm so they can live freely.
And what if he doesn't want me anymore? I sent Brina to trick him. And I didn't fail to catch his attention again. He chased Brina because he thought it was me. He will not chase another me if he didn't miss me. Pero hindi sapat iyon. Tatlong buwan na wala kaming koneksyon. Ni hindi kami nagkita pagkatapos ng araw na iyon.
Hindi ko alam kung ako pa rin ba ang gusto niyang makasama. Paano kung nakahanap siya ng matinong babae? Hindi 'yung katulad ko? Hindi sira ang buhay at desente. Hindi katulad ko na basura at laging pinipilit ang sarili sa iba.
"Come on, Rubs-
"Ulfa! 'Yan ka nanaman sa pangalan na 'yan!" Suway ko pero tinawanan niya lang.
"Why don't you try? I've been visiting him... Palagi. Wala naman akong nakitang nagmahal siya ng iba. Hindi nagkaroon ng attensiyon si Zion para sa iba."
Hinele niya ang natutulog na anak. Pati siya may magandang boses. No wonder. He's good at singing though.
"Hindi nga siya nagmahal, nagbago naman." Kumagat ng mansanas si Reis. "Look at him. Successful bar owner, not just a manager. Within three months akalain mo. He became a different person... Ngayong halos mag-lilimang buwan na, pareho pa rin kaya ang ugali niya?"
"I'm trying to send him here. That is not his world. He belongs here. Just give me time, babe." Pagdedepensa naman ni Ulfa.
"If he really wants to be here, sana matagal na. I liked him for Ruby... Pero sinira niya lang tiwala ko. Ang dali-dali niyang mang-iwan ng tao."
