Ian said kaya napabuntong hininga ako bago tumayo pero agad kong tinapakan ang paa ni Philip bago ako naglakad papalayo sa kaniya.

"Argh!"

Philip reacts but I didn't look at him back as I went out of the room since Ian was already outside.


~~~

"Argh!"

I looked at Avy who is walking towards the door after she hit my foot.

She really is something that she unconsciously picked the Crown Prince's interest, although, I am a bit annoyed when he kissed her hands a while ago.

I feel like he is marking her based on the looks on his eyes to Avy.

"Why do I feel like she being taken from me that it really makes me annoyed which is not like me when mostly a woman would begging me to accompany them,"

I said as I lay down on the bed and staring at the ceiling.


~~~


My confidence has gone when I finally out of the room because I saw Ian standing beside the wall na nakatingin sa floor pero nararamdaman kong he is not in a good mood.

"I, Is there a problem, Ian?"

"Avy, did you come with Philip?"

He asked as he looks at me with his darkened face and serious look in his eyes.

"Y, Yes,"

"With your real appearance?"

"..."

I didn't answer him as I look away kahit na ramdam ko ang mga titig niya sa akin.

"So, it's true. Lady Collins just told me a while ago, and she said that Y.V.A just went home the moment I am looking for you,"

I can feel his voice somewhat I can't bear it that it makes me want to go home and hide in my room.

"Yes, I am sorry for not telling you,"

I said habang nakayuko since kapag sinabi ko sa kaniya ay siguradong hindi siya papayag lalo na kapag narereveal ang pagkatao ko which is using my real appearance for something like this.

"I'm tired of hearing your apologies, Avy. You know that it is dangerous here, right?"

His voice is a little bit sound angry but calmly that he is not shouting at me but this is the first time that he sounds like this to me even though, he is sometimes got angry but not like this.

I remain bowing since it's my fault as I am waiting for him to scold me but he remains silent kaya tumingin ako sa kaniya, at hindi ko inaasahan na makikita ko si Ian ng ganito.

Niyakap ko si Ian no'ng makita ko ang mukha niya.

'Why?'

'Why do you look like that?'

'Am I giving you a hard time with me?'

"W, Why a, are you looking at me like t, that?"

Tanong ko kay Ian na nanginginig ang boses ko habang yakap siya while his head is resting in my right shoulder.

"Why do I feel like you are slowly moving away from me?"

Natameme ako sa sinabi niya since I don't know that I am giving that feeling to him.
