T1 • Chapter 30: The Vials Of Singularity

"Did you go on a date without informing me?" I looked at him when he suddenly spoke. He was looking in my direction while giving me the look of a tiger- ready to ambush you with its claws- but he is a cub in this situation.

"Kakagising mo lang? Tulog ka na ulit," I uttered. Though it was a joke, his head furrowed. Hindi ba nakakagets ang mga pasyente ng joke? O hanggang ngayon hindi pa nawawala ang anesthesia sa katawan niya?

"Where have you been?" bumangon ito ng marahan at tinulungan ko siyang sumandal sa headboard. Bumalik lang rin ako sa pag-upo bago siya sinagot.

"I went on a date-"

"Then you went here after that?" He butted in before I could finish my answer, so, I innocently nod. Gusto ko matawa sa ekspresyon nananalaytay sa mukha niya.

He might have thought he didn't believe it, but he was contemplating because my face looked serious- alam ko na kung paano hindi magbigay ng hints gamit ang mukha ko. Courtesy to the Captain of the group named Noesis, I became aware of my expressions.

"How was it?" tanong nito. Goodness, he sounded annoyed. Nakakunot pa noo niya. Hindi niya ata inisip na iyon ang unang bungad ko kapag nagising na siya.

"It's fine, I guess? We drank coffee, talk about a lot of things, and I enjoyed it."

While thinking of what should I lie about, sumagi sa isip ko ang nangyari kanina sa operasyon- hindi ba siya sinabihan ni Sir Lyon? Gusto ko tuloy tumawa ng malakas. Seeing how his expression changed and make his face sour makes me want to burst laughing, but I am halting my lips to move yet my shoulder shakes.

"You dress up for that man, do I know him?" He asked which made me looked at myself.

Right, dumiretso ako rito after the mission. I am still wearing a pink floral off the shoulder dress, hawak ko nga rin ang dusty pink leather GG Marmont matelassé shoulder bag- regalo ito ng pinsan kong babae nang dumating ako rito, ngayon ko lang ginamit. Elizabeth and I had the same brand of bag we used today. I do look like I was in a date. Everyone said that.

Umiling ako sa tanong nito. "I met him somewhere."

He scoffed. Well, that's cute.

Nasaan na ba ang lalaking halos alam kung ano ang iniisip ko? Doesn't conclude without evidence- especially the quick-witted Percival? Does getting stabbed three times, losing a lot of blood and being in bed for almost 3 weeks make his brain malfunction?

"So. Naizhen Albion-Arthzuwein Percivallian, it is?" I spoke his whole name.

He then looked- he wasn't surprised, he is amazed by how I managed to know that. Well, I did ask his brother about it. "So, the time finally arrived that one of your questions from where we first met has been answered."

"Correction! In the simulation. We met way before it happened. Seriously, may anesthesia pa rin ba utak mo- eh, wala naman sa utak ang natamo mong sugat, hindi ba?" I quickly uttered. He let out a small chuckle. That simulation was the one who made us arrived in this situation. Hinding-hindi ko makakalimutan 'yon.

"I won't ask when and how you found it out," He suddenly spoke while clasping his hands, "due to the fact that my brother might have said it."

"Yeah, he spills things about you for the past weeks," I teased him. Napatawa pa nga ako dahil pumasok na naman sa utak ko ang mga sinasabi ni Sir Lyon patungkol sa kapatid niya. As what I said, minsan nasa Ospital ako at sumusunod lang rin ang iba pag tapos na sila sa klase. Hindi ako nagcacut ng klase, wala rin kasi masyadong assignments and projects.
