Starlight Academy: The Ophiuchus

SA43:Vin is back!

Tumayo ako at napagpasyahang puntahan muna si Aron na inaayos ang puso ni Vin. Mamaya ko na lang pupuntahan si Enly, nandoon rin naman sina zyrus para tingnan siya.

I opened the door and saw dream sitting on the right side of the bed looking at Vin sleeping peacefully. My heartbeat monitor din sa tabi nito. Even Clefa and halsier is here watching him sleeping.

"How is he?" I asked Aron when i felt him beside me.

"He's stable now, hinihintay nalang gumising. Buti nalang talaga at may nahanap kang exchange ng puso niya."

"How about the robotic heart?"

Napahinga ito ng malalim at nagpunta sa gilid kong saan nakalagay sa iba't ibang bagay ang robotic heart na nakuha nila sa loob ni Vin noon. Sumunod ako dito at nakitang hindi na ito pula na katulad ng dati, It's a clear heart now.

"I infiltrated the device and hacked it. Tinanggal ko na ang mga connections na meron ito galing sa real owner dahil may microphone ito, it could hear us talk. And to my surprise, the owner is at the Palace." Pinakita nito sa akin ang laptop. It was a circle at the map directly pointing at the Palace.

"Baka may kinalaman ito sa gustong pumatay kay Enly. But he was executed already right?" Nagtatakang sabi ko.

"Yun nga ang pinagtataka ko, It's hard to think that someone from the Palace is doing these deeds."

But Im Sure. Maybe It's him again this time. He is always this vicious It's surely him.

"Keep an eye on him and everyone Aron."

"Kung magsalita ka parang ikaw ang elite sa atin ah." He chuckled that made me roll my eyes. Im just raising awareness.

"By the way, malapit na ang elite evaluation. It'll be your next task then last task before graduating as one of us. Malapit na ang koronasyon ng manliligaw mo." Agad kong sinapak ang braso nito dahil sa huling hirit nito. Ang daming say. He laughed at me.

"I'll go now."

"Dalian mo, baka hinahanap kana ng naru mo."

I left the room and started walking towards our dorm. I need to go and check Enly and Tim now. Pagkapasok ko ay napatingin sa akin si Vine na umiinom ng tubig sa kusina.

"San ka nanggaling?"

I jumped on the couch and looked at her with tired eyes. "Pinauwi ko lang si leon, tsaka dumaan na din kina Aron." I yawned. Wala pa nga akong maayos na tulog simula no'ng sumalakay ang dalawang yun eh.

Now that i remembered it. Paano nalaman ng hari na buhay pa ang dalawang yun. Unless, someone told him. But none knows about it except for us and the two creators. Could it be someone i really trust?argh, i hate betrayals.

Magsasalita sana ito ng lumabas si zyrus sa kwarto ni Enly at pinasadahan ako ng tingin. Agad rin itong umiwas ng tingin at mabibigat ang yapak na kinuha ang mga papel sa harapan ko at bumalik muli sa kwarto ni Enly. Nakakunot ang noo kong tiningnan si Vine na tahimik ring pinanood si Zy.

"Nagtatampo." She smirked at me that made me more confused.

"At bakit?"

"Feeling manhid ka ngayon Rana? Malamang dahil sa umalis ka kasama ang lalaki ng kapatid niya." She rolled her eyes at me then sat right beside me. Etong babaeng toh, parang mas naging pilosopo at mataray na sa akin ah.

"Suyuin mo."

"Kiss mo muna ako." Pang-iinis ko dito. Hinagisan ako nito ng unan na nasa tabi niya kaya't pinagtawanan ko ito at yinakap. I will Miss this.

"How's Tim?" Due to my question she heaved a deep sigh that made me look at her.

"Nagising na siya kanina kaso pagod daw kaya natulog muli."

"Really?" I said happy about it. Tumango ito at sinandal sa ulo ko ang ulo niya. Kaya pala hayahay na siyang umiinom ng tubig sa kusina. Sabi ko nga ba may dahilan talaga bawat galaw niya.

"Pangalawang beses nang muntik siyang mawala sa akin, i won't waste more time Rana. I won't deny it, i Love him."

I smiled at her words.

"Akala ko noon, Love can wait but thinking how our world changes every single day, i changed my mind. Time is gold and we only live once. Kaya't hangga't kaya mo pa, hangga't namumuhay ka pa..sulitin mo na."

I could see the improvements in her. Thank you Tim for taking our Vine.

"Paano kong, makasalanan na yung tao hindi na ba pwedeng bigyan ng second chance?" I asked thinking of our situation right now.

"Depende sa kasalanan niya."

Eh.

"That person has stolen something from someone and nearly killed the whole world, what do you say?"

"You know what Rana, kung may kasalanan ka man wala naman akong pakialam doon eh. You accepted me at my worst, and i will accept you too." Agad akong umiwas ng tingin sa sinabi nito at napailing.

"I-It's nothing."

Tumayo ako na kumuha sa atensyon nito. "Oh San ka pupunta?"

"I'll check the cause of enly's unconsciousness" tumango ito at tumayo rin. Naglakad kaming pareho sa kwarto ni Enly at binuksan ito. Bumungad sa aming dalawa si zyrus na may mga pinipirmahang kung ano sa study table ni Enly.

He looked at us then back at his paperworks. "His mad." Vine whispered that made me glare at her.

"I'll just check her." Pagpapaalam ko kay zyrus na tumango naman at nakatuon lang ang atensyon sa mga papel niya.

Linapitan ko si Enly at hinawakan ang kamay nito. I checked her pulse and it was there, humihinga siya kaso bakit hindi nagigising? I traced my fingers on her arms and suddenly felt something inside of her. And to make Sure that i was right, tiningnan ko ang mukha nitong namumuti na rin ngayon.

"She was poisoned."

"What?" I heard Zy said.

"It wasn't just any ordinary poison, hangga't hindi siya ginagamot her soul will decay." I looked at the both of them and I could see the worries in their eyes.

"What's the antidote for that?" He asked as he seriously looks at his own sister.

"Leon is a god, and so is Amara if you're not informed. And only Amara could intoxicate her, dahil siya naman ang may kagagawan niyan."

"Bullshit. How would we save my sister then?"

"I think i could help you with that." I said looking at enly's hand. Tumingala muli ako at nakita silang dalawang may mga tanong sa kani-kanilang mga mata. But they remained silent and didn't asked questions.

"I'll come with—"

"No zaru, ako lang mag-isa ang pupunta. She needs you here, besides you need to prepare for you coronation." Dinako ko ang tingin ko sa mga papeles na nasa study table ni Enly at narinig ito napamura.

"I don't give a damn about that coronation for pete's sake, i can't let you go alone." Enebe, kinilig ako doon ah. Pero tanga, epekto lang ng gayuma yan.

"Believe in me, that's all Im asking." I smiled at him then went out. Walk out Queen ako ngayon noh.

Let me resolve this mess before i become that monster.
