"I-I'm really s-sorry, Sgt. H-Harvey..."

Nandito na muli kami sa kuwarto. It feels like we went out so fast yet, I still can't tell because of what happend in that short while.

I'm currently sitting on my bed and crossing my legs. Nebula is beside me, laying again as I caress his fur while, he seems to enjoy it.

On the other hand, Celeste and Sgt. Harvey is sitting on my room's couch. She is treating Sergeant's wound whose now merely wearing a black sando just like those men in the training ground earlier. Celeste keeps on apologizing to the Sergeant even if there is no need to.

"Miss Celeste, you have nothing to feel sorry about. You did nothing wrong." nakangiting sabi sa kanya ni Sergeant kahit pa nakayuko lang si Celeste at sa sugat sa braso niya nakatingin.

Sa totoo lang kanina pa namin 'yan sinasabi kay Celeste, but she also keeps on saying sorry still.

"Yes. Sergeant is right, Celeste. Please stop saying sorry. You don't deserve it. That crazy man should be the one doing that." I said, consoling her. Totoo naman eh. Kasalanan talaga 'to nung lalaking 'yon! At sigurado ako, kasabwat niya si Lt. Neud!

"U-Uh, okay, sister. Sorry," napa-facepalm na lang ako sa sinabi ni Celeste. Si Sergeant naman ay napangiti na parang pinipigilan ang tawa.

By the way, ang lakas maka-knight in shining armor kanina ni Sergeant kay Celeste! Nakakakilig! Alam niyo ba 'yung sinabi niya after he stared sharply at the insane Sergeant? Ito ung sinabi niya, "Try to hurt my girl again, and you'll die with one shot." sabay bumunot ng baril sa tagiliran si Sergeant at kinasa ito!

Tapos, joke lang ang lahat syempre. Walang nangyaring gano'n hahaha!

Binebendahan na ni Celeste ang sugat ni Sgt. Harvey. Mahabang sugat din ang natamo niya dahil sa espada. Ngunit 'di ko man lang nakakitaan na nasaktan ni Sergeant habang nililinis ito ni Celeste.

"Thank you, Miss Celeste." Sgt. Harvey said to Celeste as he patted her head when she finished dressing his wound. Hala! Sanaol! Nakaka-miss may mag-pat sa ulo mo, ginagawa kasi 'yun sa'kin dati ni Valxemir.

Ugh! Erase, erase that!

"Sgt. Harvey why don't you rest here first?" tanong ko kay Sergeant nang akma na siyang tatayo at lalabas ng kuwarto.

"I'm all right, Miss Clardia. I still have to do my job. Just call me when you'll need something." he beamed then pointed the digital watch on his wrist.

"Okay, Sergeant! Thank you!" I said, then he hanged his uniform on his arms and went out of the room.

Napalingon naman ako kay Celeste na nililigpit ang mga ginamit niya upang linisin ang sugat ni Sergeant. I shifted to the couch.

"Hey, Celeste! So, what did you felt when Sergeant saved you earlier? Kinilig ka ba?" sabik na tanong ko kay Celeste.

"H-huh, sister? W-What is 'kinilig'?" I wonder kung kailan ba makakapagsalita si Celeste nang hindi nauutal.

"I mean, did you felt butterflies in your stomach when he caressed you and let himself got hurt just so you won't?"

"I-I don't think I've ever experienced that, sister."

"Seriously? You didn't even felt anything weird?"

She shook her head. I arched a brow.

"How about when Lieutenant Neud pushed you into the wall? What did you felt?" I asked. Hindi siya nakasagot agad. Napahinto siya sa kanyang ginagawa. Don't tell me...
