Chapter 17: The Favor
ANG SUSUNOD na kabilugan ng buwan ay ngayong araw na siyang pinaghahandaan ni Maxhione. Na isa rin sa pinakahihintay ni Art dahil sa wakas, mamamarkahan na nito ang babaeng napili niya. She was confused tho, does the girl can reject his offer? Paniguradong wala namang tatanggi sa alok ng binata. Siguro hibang lang ang makakaisip no'n.
But, wait. Why does she keep on thinking about that? Diba dapat mas iniisip niya ang pabor na sasabihin ni Lioness mamayang gabi? She don't know why but, she's kinda nervous for later. At anong gagawin niya sa kutsilyo na pinapadala ni Lioness sa kanya?
"Overthinking ei?"
She came out from her deep reverie when Akira's face were in front of her. Kinunutan niya ito ng noo saka sumandal sa kanyang inuupuan.
"Anong ginagawa mo dito?"
"Wala naman. Chini-check ko lang kung buhay pa ba yang puso mo."
She look at her flatly. Napahagikhik naman ang huli at gusto niya itong batukan dahil sa pang-aasar nito.
"Sa tingin mo nandito ako ngayon kung patay na ang puso ko?"
"Chill, seryoso mo naman." Akira chuckled. "pero may gusto lang akong malaman mo. Remember the girl with Art the other day?"
She slowly nodded her head. Walang interes na tinaasan niya ito ng kilay at naghihintay sa sagot nito. Simula no'ng araw na 'yon, hindi na niya pinapansin ang binata sa desisyon na naisip niya. Na isa sa makakabuti sa kanya. Sa damdamin niya. Sunod-sunod din ang kanilang ginawang activity kaya hindi talaga sila nagkakausap. She was focusing too in her potion making. She was trying different potion and thankfully, it's efficiently effective.
"Kaya pala pamilyar 'yong mukha ng babae. Anak pala siya ng may-ari ng pinakasikat na guild sa Alvana. Nasa section A at isa sa kanilang ace. Tinaguriang prinsesa sa kanilang mansiyon. Si Raylee."
So what? Maxhione want to blurted that out but choose not to. Paniguradong bibigyang isyu na naman ito nitong kaharap niya.
"That's good then." Kaya pala sila bagay. A prince and princess. Nice.
"And? That's it? No violent reaction?"
Kung hindi lang talaga niya kaibigan ang babaeng ito, paniguradong kanina pa niya ito sinakal sa sobrang inis.
"Ano sa tingin mo ang magiging reaksyon ko matapos kong marinig 'yon? That's really good. And prince and princess, they're good together. I'm not war freak, you know."
Napanguso ang kaharap na ikinailing niya. Ano ba sa tingin nito ang iniisip na gagawin niya? Magagalit? Maiinggit? Magseselos na aabot sa puntong makikipag-away? Nah, that's absurd and that's not her thing. Oo nakikipag-away siya pero iba naman ang pinag-uusapan nila ni Akira at kahit kailan ay hindi siya makikipag-away nang dahil lang do'n.
Kailangan ko pang magpakabait.
"Pero mas bagay kaya kayo ni Art."
Mataman na napatitig siya rito dahil sa sinabi nito. Her forehead creased. Her lips were forcefully smiling but she stop it by licking her lips.
"Masyado ng malayo ang iniisip mo. If you were thinking that way, that's okay but you can't change someone's feeling just because you want it, okay?" She smiled softly.
Mukha naman itong natauhan dahil mas lalo itong napanguso at walang nasabi. Tho, what she said was right. They can't change someone's feeling because it's up to that someone if she or he will intend to change their feelings. Kaya wala siyang magagawa kundi panoorin itong masaya sa piling ng iba.
