bound beyond fates

chapter 47.

"oh it's been a while your- i mean darling."

napangiti ako ng bahagyang sumagot si zack, ang knight na nailigtas ko noong digmaan. i sent him as a spy in fuerox kingdom so that he can report me if there's something suspicious happening in that place. we can't be sure na hindi ulit sila aatake kaya pinadala ko siya doon para obserbahan ang mga galaw nila.

siya isang gardener sa palasyo kaya madali siyang nakakakuha ng impormasyon. nagboluntaryo siya maging spy dahil niligtas ko daw ang buhay niya. kapalit ng buhay niya ay magsisilbi siya sakin hanggang sa mamatay siya. he vowed to me as my own knight so i can command him anything i want. kahit ayaw ko ay wala akong magawa since he's a perfect person to by a spy. he didn't have any relative or family so it's easy to proclaimed his death when we return home.

kaya ngayon tinatawagan ko siya kung may ginagawa na bang hakbang ang fuerox. i'm calling him darling so that people around him will not be wary about him. it will be weird if he called me princess inside the palace since the fuerox only have a one prince. that's why i'm pretending to his wife that is from away home.

sasagutin ko sana siya ng biglang bumukas ang pintuan at may kumuha sa cellphone na hawak ko. nagmamadali akong lumingon at nagsitayuan ang mga balahibo ko dahil sa mabigat nitong presenya.

"darling? who the fuck are you talking to?" nanlaki ang mata ko ng bumungad sakin si aziel. siya pala ang pumasok buti at hindi ang ibang tao. pero bakit galit na galit siya?

"aziel? what are you doing here?"

"what i'm doing? of course i'm looking for you but i can see that you're busy." ngayon ko lang naalala na hinihintay niya pala ako tuwing matatapos ang klase ko sa martial arts para sabay kaming dalawa. how can i forgot that?! pero kailangan ko muna kunin ang cellphone ko sa kamay niya, naririnig ko na ang pagpapanic ni zack base sa boses niya.

"erm... i'm sorry i forgot hehe. but can you give me back my phone? parang masisira na ito sa higpit ng hawak mo." nag aalinlangan kong saad habang matalim niya akong tinignan. ano bang nagawa ko sayo at ganyan ka makatingin sakin?!

"and you're going to continue talking to your darling?" madiing saad habang ako ay napakunot ng noo. i-is he angry because of my endearment to zack? but that's only for the sake of his disguise.

"wait, aziel. it's not what you think-!" natataranta kong sagot sakanya habang siya ay malamig na nagsalita.

"princess, are you cheating on me?"

"huh?! cheating?! what are you talking about?! it's not like we have a relationship or something!"

" what? then what about the kiss we have in the fortress? do you kiss anyone without having feelings for them?" ramdam ko sobrang pag iinit ng mukha ko at panlalaki ng mata ko sa sinabi niya. w-why is he mentioning that?! pilit ko ngang kinakalimutan iyon pero bakit pinapaalala mo lang at sa harap pa mismo ni zack?!

"wow, we even kiss multiple times. to think you're cheating behind me. i didn't know that you're a player, princess." sinubukan kong hanapin ang boses ko dahil hindi ako makapagsalita sa mga binibintang niya saakin.

"y-y-you didn't o-officially a-ask me before and you just kissed me out of nowhere!" i yelled at him and he only tilted his head.

"i did said that you're mine tho? it means that you're already my girlfriend." napanganga ako sa sinabi niya at hindi na makasagot sa pahayag niya. i-i think aziel is my boyfriend now? wait does that mean he has feelings for me? and who the heck he is to make a sudden decision like that?! he didn't even confront me!

"uhm. in my opinion i shouldn't be here listening to your uhm." dahil hindi na kami nagsasalita ni aziel at nakatitig lang sa isa't isa ay rinig namin ang naiilang na boses ni zack sa telepono. naputol ang titigan naming dalawa at dali dali kong kinuha ang cellphone sa kamay ni aziel. hindi na niya sinubukan kuhain ito ng ipaliwanag ko sa kanya ang sitwasyon.
