Chapter 25: Just the two of us

RUNNING IN the hallway with guards and maids watching them makes the situation feels thrill and exciting. Humigpit tuloy ang hawak niya sa kamay ng binata habang tumatawang tumatakbo palabas ng palasyo. When they get out, she heaved a relief sighed. It feels like she would probably enjoy roaming this place. It gives her a different vibes. She want to try something new and that's what curious and intrigued her.

This place is something.

Ang akala ni Maxhione ay ang palasyo na ang makakapamangha sa kanya ng husto pero nagkakamali siya. The castle were built at the top where they can see the whole town of Veldora. From her place, she can see it wholely and her jaw almost slacked in shockedness. It's just.. too beautiful. A breathtaking view to be exact. And the sun feels strange. It looks strange. Maybe because this kingdom were filled with vampires and something was protecting them from the sun.

"Let's go."

With a wide smile, she nodded at Art. Hinayaan niya ang sarili na magpatianod sa hila nito at muli ay tumakbo sila nang makalabas sa gate ng palasyo. She can't explain the happiness she was feeling right now. It's not the same happiness when she's with her friend or family. This is something that Art could only give her. Sumasabog sa tuwa ang puso niya pero may parte rin sa kanyang natatakot.

"May gusto ka bang bilhin?" Tanong nito habang tinatahak nila ang daan papunta sa bayan.

"Oo. Pero sa tingin ko mamaya na kapag uuwi na tayo. Gusto ko munang magtingin-tingin."

"Okay. I'll show you to my kingdom, then."

Art was very officious. He always keep his cool and he just let her enjoy her eyes around. Isa iyon sa ikinasaya niya dahil binubusog niya ang kanyang tingin sa bawat tanawing nakikita. The guy never talk to her until they get in the town. Mas lalo siyang namangha sa mga nakikita niya doon. The vampires were so organize and serious. Na gugustuhin mo nalang na hindi magtanong dahil ayaw mo silang maistorbo. They talk formally and professionally. While Art was explaining to her and she was eagerly listening.

"May isang panghimagas kami dito na ibinibida namin sa lahat. Only the vampires can make the sweetest and delicious apple pie. You wanna try?"

"I'd love to but I'm kinda full." Nakangusong hinimas niya ang kanyang tiyan. "mamaya nalang siguro kapag gutom na ako. Tsaka magdadala ako para sa mga kaibigan ko."

"You really never change." Napailing ang binata. "iniisip mo parin sila palagi kahit nasa malayo ka."

"Siyempre naman noh. Kaibigan ko sila kaya bakit ko makakalimutan?"

Art chuckled. "I know." Ginulo pa nito ang kanyang buhok na hindi na niya ikinagulat.

Ang sunod nilang pinuntahan ay tindahan ng mga damit. She's not really into clothes but she wanted to try. Kung may magugustuhan siya para sa mga kaibigan niya, bibilhin niya agad.

"Ikaw? Wala ka bang planong mamili?" She asked.

"I can buy here anytime I want. Gusto ko lang samahan ka ngayon na mag libot dito. How about you? Mag nagugustuhan ka ba?"

"Hmm." Napahawak siya sa kanyang baba. "Hindi naman ako adik sa mga damit pero gusto ko ring bilhan ang sarili ko. How about this?" Kinuha niya ang pulang hoodie na kung susuotin ay paniguradong hanggang hita niya. Hindi ito masyadong makapal at tamang-tama lang na suotin tuwing weekends.

"That's nice. I'll buy it for you."

"Huh?" She confusedly glance at him. "bibilhin mo 'to para sa'kin?"

"Oo. Masama ba? Besides, I want to buy something for you too."

"Sigurado na 'yan?" Nagningning yata ang mga mata niya sa narinig galing sa binata.
